The Anchor Inn in South Staffordshire

The food was absolutely amazing as always and worth waiting for! Plus the drinks were great. The manager came over to tell us he had taken money off our bill due to a long wait, completely unprompted which was a nice surprise. We love it here and will be back even more! Another fantastic visit, delicious food as always. New visit March 2025, food was absolutely amazing and the service from Nat was just brilliant, new pics added. April 2025 visit, gorgeous food and drinks as always. Excellent friendly service from Scarlett. Lovely Tiramisu.

Great time tonight. Manager and team are a credit to themselves and clearly the pub is in good hands.

Had a wonderful meal, the service was brilliant but the star of the show was the food. Lovely location too.

Nat was amazing, made sure we had everything we needed. She went above and beyond☺️

There was a mix up with the waitress giving our meals to the next table, in total we had a 45 minute wait on the food. We were ready to leave and had a chat with the manager who was a lovely guy. He gave us a large discount on our meals. Great customer service all in all.

Booked a table for my birthday with my partner,son and daughter in law and granddaughter, ordered drinks but waited about 2o minutes for them to arrive,then we ordered our food,chips were just about warm,fish was mostly batter,partners pie was hollow inside not much filling that also was late coming,the excuse was they were a chef down which was no excuse for cold chips and hollow pies,overall poor food and over priced,I'll give that pub a miss

Lovely place, very nicely decorated and very pleasant surroundings. Aidan, our server , was faultless. Good time had by all

Pre booked but told there was a 45 minute wait for food which was disappointing as we were very hungry. Walk ins had taken priority as it was a sunny day. The furniture was worn and tatty. We ended up leaving and going somewhere much nicer with great service. It's a shame as this place used to be fantastic!

Nat and the team always welcoming with friendly service

Fabulous service 👏 from the bar team, Rob, Leah and Nat the hostess always smiling 😃

Service and food was excellent! Nat was great for us

Very friendly felt well looked after, Nat was really helpful

Couldn’t fault anything, Nat was great!

Booked a table food long wait I had the pie it was awful load of puff pastry and 1 chunk meat tiny bit of mash overpriced food pub was very welcoming and staff lovely food needs improving and very expensive

I had a steak and paid extra for a sixe salad. It was very disappointing to be honest. You wouldn't pay much more for Miller and Carter which is a much better quality of food. Won't be rushing back. Service was ok and nice atmosphere.

The staff were friendly and welcoming and the food and atmosphere was great too. Can’t wait to go back.

Lovely friendly service from Victoria today. Food nice & fresh, great little pub. Thank you!

Really enjoyable food Lovely atmosphere as always

Staff are polite and efficient. Food was amazing very delicious The atmosphere was warm honelh and welcoming

Nats customer service was amazing . Well looked after . Food was amazing .

Nat was so friendly and helpful! Food was amazing too!

3 of us for lunch. Excellent Katsu chicken, decent puff pastry topped 'pie'. Friendly and efficient service from Nat & the lads. Happy customers.

Second time visting after moving up to coven, food is absolutely out of this world as well as the service from Rob, Nat and Victoria. Brilliant place will be back.

Absolutely gorgeous food, well worth the money, which I might add are not over priced. Service was friendly, attentive (without being a nuisance) and pleasent. Nat Vic and Rob were all smiles and couldn't do enough. Thank you for a lovely afternoon and meal x

Lovely pub to sit out doors in the sun

Lovely meal and great atmosphere in this cosy pub. Great service, Nat our waitress was very friendly and chatty. Would 100 percent recommend :)

Great value for money, food was delicious, wait times were more than acceptable considering we were a walk in during peak Sunday lunch hours, drinks were great too. Extra portions of gravy as requested when I ran out were brought out promptly, dog friendly and canal side seating for summer warmer weather. Amazing friendly place to unwind or dine.

We were all a little deflated by the time our pudding came, as for the price of the food we were expecting something a little more....we all thought the mango and passionfruit eton mess sounded amazing but when it came it was exactly that a sloppy mess in the middle of a plate?! The sauce was almost invisible around the slop, and the plates textured so the only real way of getting at it was to use our fingers, hardly any mango and the cream was not even whipped, all in all a grave disappointment to all of us...

Great value for money. Very nice atmosphere . Highly recommend

Booked a lunch for three. We arrived early but was shown straight away to our table. Food was great. Service was excellent from friendly staff. A really pleasant and enjoyable meal. Looking forward to going back.

Sitting here with my dog I’ve noticed the tables and chairs are well below par in the dog / bar area but I’m paying the same price as everyone else, a bit unfair unless you’re prepared to reduce your prices, the Mermaid is our usual place where the furniture is all the same throughout, please advise.I should have pinpointed the exact problem, it’s the seating not the tables, club chairs are more comfortable than sitting on wooden seats, the area for dogs is fine but where do you put customers with dogs when that area is full ( 5 tables) only. Think my rating is very fair, the lack of 5 stars is for seating not food, service,Atmosphere.

Came here for our son’s birthday a family of 7 great atmosphere food very good Nat looked after us very well will be returning again soon

Had a awesome experience can't wait to visit again thank you to craig for cooking my food and all the staff for making an extremely enjoyable and friendly experience 👍

Lovely food, lovely staff, we and our dog loved it x

It's hard to find a parking spot, but once in the pub/ restaurantis very nice. Food is good

One of my favourite places for a Sunday roast. Also nice to just come for drinks. Service is always very friendly and the standard menu is really good as with all vintage inns. Also dogs are welcome and there's always plenty in the bar area! Plenty of parking, it's quite popular so recommend booking. Eaten quite a few times here and never had a bad meal.

Excellent service especially from Victoria

Really great service from Nat and Scarlett who delivered quality food from the chefs Craig and Maddie. A lovely pub with a great warm and friendly atmosphere, this time not accompanied by our dog but she is always made welcome when with us. Well done Team Anchor! Looking forward to the next time!

One hour wait for just a starter ended up leaving without eating or paying for them. Staff were running around clearly poor management in not foreseeing you will be busy on a Saturday.. pretty much common sense for hospitality.

Great food from chef Tumin and Ryan. Brilliant service from Nat

Great food and service (Lilly and Nat). Will definitely return

Lovely place to have a nice drink and sit by the fire

I just want to thank Nat for her wonderful service she provided. Nat was very friendly professional and courteous. The outlay was brilliant and very nice especially and clean, lovely little alcoves. We have only been there once before and we enjoyed it then. She explained everything we needed to know , as we had our elderly mother with us and made a few suggestions about her meal which was spot on. The meal was very nice we all enjoyed it and was very reasonably priced for four people . Nothing was too much trouble. We will be returning and if you have not been there we recommend you should go you will not be disappointed. 😀

A great place ,you are made to feel really welcome .food is a little pricey but well worth it, we do go here quite often and never had an issue ..👍

Me and family visited here today at 5:30 and very happy with the whole experience. Welcoming staff as we came in, Brilliant food and great selection of drinks. Me and my partner both had the pie and it was delicious! It was lovely and warm in there. We will be coming back!

Great place great food great atmosphere

Very well set out dining room with good atmosphere and friendly staff, Victoria,looked after us really well .the food was served at good intervals and everything was very good quality and taste.

Great find on a Friday night, went for a beer and found they did an Indian grill Excellent tikka thighs, chicken balti, and naan breads were perfect Will be returning Prices were good too, thank you

First visit and was really impressed! Lovely vegetable Wellington, beautiful filling. Starter of garlic mushrooms was a hit too! Great service.

Fabulous experience, from service to food. nothing was too much trouble for the staff. Leah even helped us with an IT issue on our phone and Jakub was very friendly and attentive. We were a party of 6, all with our own requirements which were met perfectly.

Great atmosphere, awesome service, immaculate food 😊

My partner and I enjoyed the most wonderful Valentines meal at the Anchor last night. Despite it being busy due to the special occasion, the food came out quickly and all the staff were really attentive throughout the evening. The food was delicious! I had the sea bass as a main and my partner the steak, we both had the chocolate trio for dessert. All came beautifully presented and generous portions too! We will most certainly be returning very soon, huge thanks to Mike & team! 🥰

Good food and nice surroundings friendly staff

Stopped here on our way home, impromptu stop off for lunch. Friendly welcome and we were offered a choice of tables to sit at. Table service and a good choice from the menu. Food was excellent and was served in good time. It was fresh and plentiful. Chicken pie, fish & chips and Gammon and eggs were all served with chips and veg.

Myself and partner enjoyed the valentines treat menu here this afternoon! It was a spontaneous trip/meal and we hadn’t booked but as it was 3pm they managed to find us a table! The service from waitress Victoria was brilliant, she made us feel very welcome and was great at her job. Here there and everywhere! The food was delicious, and good value for three courses £30! I had the pork belly for main -so tasty and the trio of desserts was beautiful. Thank you so much we had a lovely valentines! It was our first time visiting but it won’t be our last!

Our first time here and it was absolutely perfect. Food was fantastic and service was great from everyone, especially Nat. Thanks for a great evening.

We dined on Valentines day evening. "Nat" our server was lovely and very attentive. The food was excellent value for money. The sea bass main was a little disappointing but overall an excellent meal was had

Came on Sunday was extremely busy however the service was great. Waited 5 mins in the bar area with a drinks before being shown to our table and didn't have to wait long considering how busy they were for food to arrive condiering we were a large table. The chicken pie was amazing, highly recommend. Staff were very helpful and friendly and great to see the pub is dog friendly too.

Lovely small pub with great atmosphere, dog friendly areas. Food generally good but portion sizes (especially Sunday mains) could be better. Parking can get busy but there's normally spaces for all. On the whole a cheery nice establishment.

We have visited this pub on numerous occasion as we really enjoy the food. We came a about 6 months ago we had an appalling visit but everyone deserves an off day so we decided to try again, well what a mistake that was. Our table was booked for 4.45pm, we were seated and waited half an hour to be asked if we wanted a drink, 20 minutes later i had to go and ask for someone to come and take our food order, so this was now nearly an hour since we arrived. The food came out 45 minutes later, and might i add it wasn't that busy to cause this much of a delay. The food was disgusting! The roast vegetables were solid but burnt, i carrot on plate and very sloppy fatty belly pork, overcooked and tasteless. Missing items, i had to send mine back as the vegetables were burnt to a crisp, and so therefore my side orders weng cold. The turkey was all sloppy like it had been injected with water and the stuffing balls were like mush. Put it this way the plates were still almost full when we left, for the price you charge this was atrocious food and service shocking, whilst waiting for our food order to be taken i could here numerous people complaing about this and that which should of been a red flag. The gentleman serving wasn't very apologetic at all so we just wanted to leave which of cousre took another 20 minutes to bring tge bill. Definitely not value for money and will mosy certainly not return again. Was once a place we really enjoyed dining at but now has totally gone down hill...

Good food in nice surroundings. Service by friendly attentive staff. We had a lovely evening.

Nelly Nat vicky were really helpful and they were very nice girls

Server Dawn was fantastic, food was lovely, all around great pub, the Geordie boys!!!

Overall not a bad experience , however extra pigs in blankets although tasty a little burnt , temperature of food very inconsistent but the biggest disappointment had to be the Yorkshire puddings , while waiting watched plates going by looking fantastic unfortunately I swear ours were a frozen variety by a famous aunt and finally to desert had neither of what was on the menu at a 1:30 pm sitting

Nat was class, give her a proper raise

Great food, great service and great atmosphere. Thank you Nat xx

We were very impressed by the food , service & atmosphere here on a Saturday lunchtime . However the best was the amazing customer service by Nat , she was attentive , friendly & just a true professional . We have been to other Vintage Inns but The Anchor stands out by a mile for the food & experience ….well done to the whole team

Called in on a Saturday afternoon and was impressed. No complaints about the food or service . Well worth a visit if you fancy a pleasant atmosphere and a log fire . Nat was our server and made us feel so welcome and relaxed, a credit to The Anchor for having such a wonderful member of staff.. 10/10

Amazing pub in a fantastic location. Superb food and great service from Millie & Nat. X

Had a lovely meal here tonight brought both my dogs who where welcomed by all staff the service was great we where served by Nat who made sure we had everything we needed and explained they had some options for the dogs two (which they loved) Nat even went as far as bringing a water bowl over to our dogs for them. Will definitely visit again :)

If you're in Wolverhampton and looking for a fantastic dining experience, I highly recommend The Anchor Inn. From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was warm and welcoming, setting the perfect tone for the evening. The food was absolutely outstanding. Each dish was beautifully presented, with bold, fresh flavors that showed a clear commitment to quality. The menu offers a great variety, with something for everyone, whether you're after a hearty meal or lighter options. What really made the experience stand out, though, was the service. Nat was exceptional—attentive, friendly, and incredibly knowledgeable about the menu. She made sure we had everything we needed without being overbearing, and her suggestions for both food and wine were spot on. It’s rare to find service that makes you feel so valued, and Nat truly made our evening special. If you're in the area, The Anchor Inn is a must-visit for both food lovers and anyone looking for top-tier service. Five stars all around!

Super service and amazing staff.

We had a great meal, the staff are lovely it was well worth a visit I just wish it was summertime

Natalie was really nice with us, even put more wood on the chimney and make all us feel like at home. Definitely the anchor will be my choice each time I get to the midlands.

Popped in for a drink, Natalie and Vicki were really friendly. Fab service

Enjoying a nice glass of red by the well lit fire, served by Nat and Vic, thanks

Been there this evening food and service was excellent

Superb food and service, Nat was very friendly and gave so good recommendations, don’t hesitate visit this friendly local.

Lovely food, good atmosphere, our server Nat was lovely and caring, thank you :)

Lovely pub been coming here for years, Nat was great 👍🏼

The Anchor is a great place to go, whatever the occasion. The manager is hilarious and makes the vibes great. Also the food 10/10 - good job Mike! Next you'll be as good as The Peacock!

Lovely food. Friendly staff Scarlet was our waitress for the evening very polite and friendly

Staff, service and food was brilliant. We both thought it was tad cold in there though.

This was a busy Saturday evening but by booking we reserved a table. We were met by Nat who showed to our table. She took our drinks order and let us choose from a good Vintage inn menu. The drinks were swiftly followed by our three different main meals all with fresh vegetables and excellent chips. Coffe with a small sweet is always good. An enjoyable evening made special by the service we received. Keep it up.

We drove from Manchester today to visit family and needed to leave feedback at just how impressed we are with The Anchor Inn. We were sat by a cosy fire, all ordered different dishes, all of which were amazing and we thoroughly enjoyed, delicious desserts and attentive service from Mike and Beth. We’d drive 2 hours just to have those triple cooked chips again soon! Thanks so much for the fabulous service, cosy atmosphere and delicious food!

First time here and food was excellent with a lovely atmosphere. Despite being super busy the staff were really attentive especially Nat who served us our food and drinks. Definitely will visit again - customer service 10/10!

Nat gave great service , food was great, minor hiccup with no meringue in eton mess but was complimentary when the issue was raised, overall great

Really lovely meal with lots of choice. Lovely and cosy lunch on a cold winter afternoon. Great service by Nat who looked after us today. Would definitely recommend and will be making a return visit.

Great look and feel. But one bit of advice, DON'T ORDER on the app, because they never bring your drinks out. Three times in a row, I've had to get my own drinks when I've ordered on the table service app

Cracking venue for a bite to eat and good pint. For starters I thought I'd sample the prawn cocktail and pleasantly surprised when it came out, this in itself is a meal then for main course I sampled the Lamb Shank complete with mash and veg which I thoroughly enjoyed. Well worth a visit folks and just to add the staff were brilliant and we did give a tip for all their hard work

Lovely food, and Nat's service was great

Nice place food was good I would go back again

Superb evening again always a pleasure to dine here. Nat our waitress was extremely attentive.

Love the food in the anchor. Been visiting for years. Unfortunately it is very cold and they give you blankets to put on your lap. Not sure why they can't put hearing on. The service last night was very slow.

Really nice place, staff wonderful and very attentive

Excellent service and lovely food. Served by a lovely lady . Who also tended to fire well, kept us lovely and warm on this very cold day .

Food and service was incredible, nat especially was very attentive and very friendly!

Fantastic pub and food. Sat looking over the canal. The manager and staff have always been welcoming when we visit. Even allowing us to park our car or camper overnight whole staying in our boat. This gives us an extra reason to pop in even if sometimes it's only for a drink or two.. great in the summer, too, with outdoor seating. Food is always great and of good quality. Lots of drinks to choose from . Decore could do with a bit of a tidy as in areas it’s showing, however still a modern looking venue. 3x fire places which are lovely in the winter. Very much recommend 👌

Not bad, but won't return for the price and food standard A group of 6 of us visited on New Years Day, and didn't have an experience that we had hoped before arrival. Food was slow to come out, we was there almost 3 hours for 2 courses (Mains & Deserts) to come out but half expected this given that it was New Years Day, and it appeared they didn't have many staff on. The mains we had we're OK, however one of the steaks did come out cold. Again the majority of the deserts were nice, however I am not sure what the Eton Mess is supposed to be (have linked a picture of this), we just couldn't eat that. Found our waiter to be very pleasant and all the staff were working hard, but the food let it down for us especially when you are paying over £15 per meal you expect a certain standard which wasn't met.

A very good welcome and attentive Staff - great food
