The Anchor Inn in Stroud

Our second visit for lunch, cheerful and helpful staff who always make you feel welcome. Plenty of choice on the menu, very reasonably priced and generous portion sizes. If you are looking for traditional food, value for money in a homely venue then this is the place for you. Looking forward to our next visit.

Friendly god service and choice of food shall return

Plenty of choice and great prices. Lovely staff and always welcoming!

Thank you for making our first visit to you a memorial evening. Service was first class, thank you Becky and the food was excellent too.

Lovely food in a beautiful area, which keeps us coming back for more!!

Sat outside for drinks - lovely

Lovely place and attentive staff.

The food was well cooked & you didn't have to wait too long for it. The menu had a good choice all at a reasonable price. It was certainly good value for money.

I always enjoy our visits here when we can for a Sunday roast or anything else on the menu. The pub has a beautiful view of the river severn. The food is good and extremely affordable compared to the majority of other pubs in the Stroud area, with great vegetarian options for my partner. Friendly staff and great service. Strongly recommend.

Lovely pub with gorgeous views,hubby had the gammon and said it was the best,I had a half chicken but it was really dry

We love this place. In Summer you can sit outside and take in the fabulous view. In Winter the atmosphere inside is great. The food is traditional pub grub and loads of it - cooked to perfection and served fast.

Busy pub .. full of really friendly people .. good food .. great service .. felt really welcome .. and it's right on the banks of the Severn .. superb!!

The food is basic pub grub but the prices reflect that so no complaints. The location is lovely for an evening and the staff were all excellent, attentive but not obtrusive. This is ideal for a reasonably priced evening.

Good food at reasonable prices, fantastic location,beer always very good. Landlord and staff friendly and welcoming.

Lovely lunch sat by the river in the sun. Service was quick,and the staff friendly.

Busy pub on the riverbank, but has marquee to spill out in to. Lovely view especially at sunset. Very good pub food...the plaice is very tasty. Everyone had a good plateful.

Excellent beers, delicious food, friendly staff. Attractive siting. Dogs welcome. What more do you want.

A glorious place to visit. Spectacular location overlooking the river with reed beds along the bank. Had a Sunday lunch out in the sunshine which was superbly cooked. The large Sunday lunch was £11.50 and good value, many places have priced themselves out of our Sunday lunch budget but the Anchor has retained sensible pricing so I will keep coming back to this wonderful place. Lovely polite staff and quick service makes this place my recommendation for a great day out along the Severn.

Very good food.the staff are excellent.better to book a table or you could have a wait

Great views of the Severn - it was a weekday lunchtime so plenty of tables overlooking the river. The staff were friendly, beer was good and the food was good value.

Good food, good service will be coming back. Have had many visits to The Anchor Inn now. Excellent food, service and a good atmosphere. Hope to have many more visits.

Always enjoy our visits to this excellent pub with it's outdoor seating area right on the banks of the River Severn. The food is great value, presentable and good quality, the service is efficient and a decent range of ales & drinks is available. There is the bar drinking area on one level with TV screen for sports etc., whilst the upper bar and dining lounge offers views over the lawned frontage, with sunsets to enjoy when weather permits. Good sized car park, covered outdoor seating area and some quality signed cricket memorabilia framed artwork on the dining area walls. Great pub this is!

Nice place. Sat out by the river in the 🌞.

Friendly Staff and Locals great snug bar beer well kept. old building but clean. Dogs made welcome in Bar. Will return sooner rather than later

Great riverside pub, fabulous value food.

Super food and service very friendly staff

Varied menu that means there's something for everyone and it was good value. Location is perfect for a pint by the river in summer. No surprise this is a popular local.

Lovely atmospheric old style pub, wit decent pub grub on the bank of the river, with lovely views and friendly staff.

The food was great but the portion size was massive.

Lovely place for an over night stay staff are friendly and view from the garden is very nice

Looking forward to the Tuesday special. Pie 🥧 night 😁

Well prepared food, good menu, well priced

Welcoming little pub. Large beer garden and car park for a nice sit by the river.

Absolutely loved the location. I ordered pizza and chips & it came out as a Chicago pizza and just standard oven chips.. for the price very disappointed

Lovely pub only found by chance. Good beer garden with fantastic views of the river Severn. Lovely food to have either inside or outside seats available. Definitely recommend a visit. Great place to visit in all weather's to see the different seasons on the river. Vast menu choices. Revisited and never disappointed great food. In the middle of a refurbishment of the lounge bar, this visit didn't impact our time here tonight. Food great service was brilliant. Thank you. See you again soon. 🥰

First time having a Sunday lunch at The Anchor at Epney for a group of 15, and I must say that the lunch was excellent and very good value for money, and also the staff provided an excellent service. Well done to everyone involved 👏 👍 ☺️

I always enjoy the meals I've eaten here. Not tried puddings - usually full up!

Friendly staff, great homemade food.

A great place on the river to while away a few hours. Service is quick and friendly. Well priced beers. Whitebait is delicious.

Lovely, friendly, traditional local pub beside the River Severn. Perfect spot to view the Severn Bore - a fascinating natural phenomenon. Coming in from the cold wind to a warm, comfortable environment to enjoy a drink and a chat made my evening.

March 24: Five Star Bore Pub: Great that the owners laid on this natural 10.3m River Severn spectacle and having made use of their river side embankment for viewing it, would have been rude not to support the pub by purchasing tasty bacon baps and coffee inside - Look forward to returning in the summer, when not raining.... 👍

A friendly welcome begins the experience of a traditional pub that serves a variety of well made dishes from a menu or the specials board. Good portions and reasonable prices. Large car park. Would have given 5 stars but the decor is not the most up to date, otherwise will happily visit again anytime 🙂

Always perfect for family occasions with a meal!

IT IS A LOVELY PLACE GREAT FOOD GOOD ATMOSPHERE RECOMMEND .

First time we have been for a few years, lovely welcome very good meal and the beer was the best it could be,, PS Jules said the wine was good thanks xx

A proper pub, food always good and such sensible prices and the staff are fab.

Great place, great people, great service, great food. What more could you ask for 🤙

Mid point of walk along the Severn, great riverside location, good lunch and well kept beers. Portion sizes good and not expensive. Friendly welcome, will undoubtedly return.

Great food, great service and friendly staff. Thank you for looking after our party of 10 this Christmas. We hope to be back next year.

The food was amazing, the staff was very lovely. I would recommend this place

Lovely friendly pub. Great for meeting family for lunch. I'm sure we'll be back!

Great pub - food and drink. Great location.

Nice old style pub by the river suitable for families. Good fresh simple food served well and friendly staff.

I was only here for a swift, but delicious, ale during a walk down the river but nice pub in a very nice setting.

Worth coming for the river view.

Great service the food was excellent and price was excellent

Basic food offering but good atmosphere in the bar.

Good food - very large portions though! Opens at 5.30. Nicely located by the river

Canal bridge was shut a mile away ....Great pub was a great diversion

Small pub serving food. Large beer garden which overlooks a great view of the river Severn. Visited on a hot Friday afternoon and wasn't too busy. Felt quite peaceful.

Large selection of beers...food was fantastic. And the views from the beer garden spectacular 👌

Lovely location by the river Severn, had lunch, childrens menu good, dog friendly in bar. Will visit again.

We wanted to see the Severn Bore and as The Anchor Inn is right next to the river we booked a table for food. Fast service, good food. Stood by wall now waiting, good times.

The food option was limited to basket meals only. We have eaten basket meals at other pubs previously, chips, salad and chicken, or other options. We ordered one chicken and one vegan finger option. We received one basket of chips and some chicken strips and one basket of vegan fingers. Not a lettuce leaf tomato slice, cucumber piece, or any else in sight. The chips, chicken, and vegan fingers were of low quality, bland in appearance, and without taste. We will not eat there again and would not recommend the pub as a riverside option for lunch or evening meal.

Excellent food in a gorgeous setting. Large portions and good menu selection. Staff very friendly and plenty of seating.

Great find, friendly landlady pleasant staff, the food was spot on and the price for 2 meals and 3 drinks was very fair. Will be back.

Love this pub and location but when we visited wednesday 23rd August for drinks we queried the price of the second round as it was a £1.00 dearer than the first the reaction of the lady serving was rude she gave us a filthy look and did'nt offer us a receipt. Therefore it tainted our visit and we won't be going back anytime soon

Lovely pub with delicious food and stunning views across the river severn

Lovely Sunday Lunch. Tasty and great value for money.

A Great 'local' pub, food is good and the beers are very good. Friendly staff and 'locals'

Can't fault it best jacket chili I have had for a long time

Lovely place. Perfect setting. Bartender (owner?) was lovely, extremely helpful and provided excellent service. That’s what pubs should be about.

Good size food portions. Tasted lovely.

The place is nice, i didnt like the beers, i would like to see couple of craft beer like IPA at least in can. I believe foods are from frozen items, therefore i didnt like too much. Service good, personel nice.

The Anchor Inn is a gem on the Severn River with great views, great food, and the very best hospitality. Such a good variety of food and drinks available its difficult to choose from the menu at very reasonable prices

Ace base to go for a walk and enjoy the river

Great place to sit outside and enjoy the view.

Fantastic views, lovely food,best ever and plenty of it,only one thing put us off,we sat next to loos,two members of staff visited toilet and didn’t hear the hand dryer going😱🤔🤔🤔

Good staff, Good atmosphere and very nice location

Absolutely lovely food . But spoilt by the sauce sachets they are vile . Please upgrade and the meal would have been perfect

Great pub with excellent food and friendly staff. Food portions and prices are good too. Lots of outdoor seating for when the weather is good, with great views of the Severn valley.

Lovely position by the river. Drinks reasonably priced. Food looked good and again reasonably priced

Great location, nice food at reasonable price. Good selection of beers.

Got charged for a meal we didnt order, then young waitress was rude , more or less threw the rest of the meals on the table, i had cheesy chips and asked if it could be melted, well that was it, on refund for the meal we didnt order got given wrong refund, avoid as jt seems to be run by youngsters that dont wasnt to work.

Warm and welcoming. Great atmosphere. Food is always delicious. Great river side location.

First time here, what a lovely setting, fabulous food and amazing staff. We will defo be back…. Pie night or Sunday lunch. Lady behind the bar was very friendly and helpful.

It's our go to pub when the summer weather is here. Great beer garden by the river to chill and relax. Food is good with basket meals! Which I love on summer nights.

AMAAZING FOOD! High level of cleanliness! Defo come back for more! Keep up the great work guys!

Beautiful views! Our food was delicious and fresh and the price was very reasonable. A pint of lager and a large coke was a little on the pricy side a bit cheaper on the drinks would of given a 5 but wouldn't put us off visiting again! Nice way to spend a few hours on my birthday.

The pub is situated on the banks of the River Severn, with lots of outdoor eating. We ate inside as it was a bit chilly. The food was really good, I had the Gamon steak which was delicious, others in our party had Faggots, Quorn Chicken pie, Jacket Potato and a toasted sandwich. All of the food was very good. Will definitely visit again

Found by accident, and truly enjoyed the bucolic views and surroundings.

You can't beat this pub for views! Still a little tired looking inside but it's not an inside pub at all, sunny day sat outside by the magnificent river Severn. Good selection of food but pub favourites being ordered. Worried about a 45 minute warning on food but arrived within 25mins! Lovely afternoon!

This is a lovely place on the severn river situated in a lovely place just outside Gloucester called Epney.. There is lovely views and scenery whichever way you go. It's situated near Frampton and Arlingham which is also nice with nice walks.. This Inn has plenty of seating inside and outside, outside can sit by the river.. It's dog friendly.. Plenty of parking also. Staff friendly and welcoming. Inn is clean and tidy. The food is really lovely and hot. They have a good menu with various options and reasonably priced.. It's so nice here would recommend and go again

This is a lovely pub, right on the river. The food is excellent and the staff are friendly. I highly recommend.

Food is excellent and the staff are very friendly and happy

A visit is a trip down memory lane. Good to see that nothing has changed

Great food, fair price, friendly staff and locals.

Lush views, and the owners are so friendly, made to feel so welcome, love this place xx

Good service food was a bit under done for my liking. Staff was happy and helpful

Nice friendly staff and quick service. Slightly limited menu, but good food none the less. The tables on the grassed area overlooking the river were well spaced out and again the food service was good. Happy to recommend 👌
