The Anchor Inn in South Staffordshire

A family celebration and we were treated very well. A lovely time and the staff were very helpful. However, it was very busy at the time.

Top notch service. We felt very welcome and looked after. Thank you Nat and Vic.

Great food and amazing service in a great atmosphere. Rob, Nat & Vic all looked after us during our visit. Thanks all.

Nice homely pub nicely decorated open fire lends it self to the ambiance of the Anchor pub

Great tasty food, very filling. Not great options for gluten free allergies though.

Hopeless, need a complete refurbishment and today no kitchen so no food

Very friendly staff , good selection of beers and great atmosphere. Restaurant well laid out with outdoor seating overlooking the canal.

Ate here the other day food was very good, I have to have gluten free food and this was no problem the waitress serving me gave me all the information I needed on a tablet she just put what I couldn't have then all the food that was OK for me came up and I just chose of that, by the way I had chicken penang curry, lovely, thankyou for all the help provided, I will definitely be bck

It was lovely, meal out with my wife, top quality. Natalie was lovely when taking orders and serving, thanks! 👍👍

Nat & Nelly that served us were very polite and friendly. The food was perfect. Will be returning again!!

Nice food, lovely atmosphere. Great service from Nat - thanks.

Stylish place, with nice exposed beams and a real fire. The food was delicious, about average prices for this kind of place. Selection of lagers, and a couple of keg beers. Lovely location right next to the canal. Service was good, staff polite and pleasant.

Amazing meal! Bethany was amazing, super attentive and really friendly :)

Lovely place and food, really enjoyed ourselves and Bethany was very helpful and polite

Great service from Nat. The food was delicious 😋

We dine here often and as usual I could not make up my mind so I asked the waitress what I should order and she recommended the pie, which was very delicious. My partner had steak which he also enjoyed. Very cosy pub especially with the fires burning. Bethany was very attentive and friendly.

The situation is lovely, the bustling atmosphere and the warmth of solid fuel fires makes for a cosy evening. The serving staff are also friendly and in good supply The signature melted camembert starter unfortunately lacked any advertised honey ginger or apricot. The sea bass was good but the chicken Penang curry was over-microwaved and the rice was sticky too the point of being fused together. The mini fruit crumble was the most convincing dish of the evening.

Went for lunch today disappointed only one vegetarian option for my friend and they didn't have any she ended up with mushrooms plus my fish finger sandwich very bland . I love this pub but think there should be more options for lunch plus more vegetarian options very poor and expensive. Won't be eating here again I'm afraid.

Service time terrible they did take £15 off the bill.

We didn't have food only a drink in the bar area. Which was beautiful open fire burning and comfy seats. Will definitely be going again

Nat was super friendly service was great

Friendly pub, able to get a table on a saturday

Brilliant food welcome snd service reasonable price too

Always greeted with friendly staff from the moment you approach the bar. Me and my work colleagues have been coming for years and it is all down the the amazing staff!

Slightly disappointed to find out we would have to wait an hour for our food even though we had booked. However 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 completely unprompted which was a nice surprise. We love it here and will be back even more! Another fantastic visit, delicious food as always

Bethany served us. Always so lovely and kind, nothing too much trouble. Thank you.

Good menu wide selection. The food was enjoyable along with the atmosphere.

stopped overnight on camper and had a meal

Bethany was fantastic as a server, served well our table and all the others and at the dinner rush!

Nat was exceptional tended to our every need. Ensured we had all that we needed, service was exceptional

Great service from our waiter Natalie and the food was lovely for a few bar snacks.

Nat provided some of the best customer service I have ever experienced, extremely polite and approachable. She shared plenty of laugh with myself and my friends. We will definitely be back.

Visited the Inn yesterday with 2 university friends. We last went there in 1980! Pub has nice exterior appearance in a semi rural area. Interior decor is pleasantly 'kitchen farmhouse' feel, with plenty of seating. Menu was pretty standard for this type of pub but was served quickly and was pretty good. Prices about what you'd expect to pay. Best thing about the pub? The staff! Nat, our waitress was attentive but never pushy. Very friendly and got our orders 100% right first time! We chatted to Steve, who it turned out had been there when we visited it all those years ago! He too was very friendly. Nat & Steve make it very easy to give 5 out of 5 stars for friendliness, welcoming and creating a great atmosphere! 100% recommended and we'd be happy to visit again!

from the moment myself and my wife walked in Nat was excellent , this is what customer service is , your so lucky to be having this lady working at your establishment , highest score, look after her .

A hidden gem in Coven near Wolverhampton. Very cosy and rustic inside with friendly and polite staff, plenty of space inside and outside. The food was amazing for a pub, I felt like I was dining in a high-end restaurant. Highly recommend visiting this place!

Visited midweek. Fantastic food. Didn’t have to wait long at all. Lovely place, on the side of the canal. The pub has a couple of log fires burning away. Fantastic. Dog friendly. 👍 Will visit again.

We used to visit the Anchor in the late 1970s as students. We went back today to see what it was like now and found Steve and Natalie to be extremely friendly, helpful and welcoming. The food and service were excellent and we left as very happy customers.

Beautiful little pub, staff are extremely friendly and food was exceptional!! Will definitely be back

Burger was amazing and Nat was loverly

Nat was so lovely and made our friends birthday that little bit extra special

Just went in for drinks. Lovely atmosphere and really nice seating areas. It's very close to Jurassic Creek crazy golf experience so a great stop off venue to enjoy a celebration pint for the winner!

Such a great place, the food, service and atmosphere are fantastic

Upon arriving on the car park we immediately smelt log burning, we were sold! We entered the pub and saw the beautiful fire was lit. Absolutely made our day, cosy drinks by the fire in autumn! What more could you ask for :) we will be returning!

we were looked after by uncle steven, aiden and nat food was beautiful and service was great x

Management is lovely catered to the dogs and kept the fire going which is lovely coming into winter

Lovely pub, nice food and very nice staff 😀

The raging fire was amazing, the three lovely ladies were incredible hosts Beth, Issy & Nat, I'll be back 😉

Perfect place to stop for food and drink when you're walking the dog along the canal

Celebrating the wife’s 40th and everything was exceptional. The service and food was outstanding and Nat went above and beyond to ensure our celebrations were great.

Great food lovely well kept pub and great friendly staff nothing to complain about

Food was delicious. Great food, great atmosphere and great prices.

Very good food and the servers were pleasant and efficient. Nice layout inside. Slightly let down by the chioce of ales - only one.

Had a lovely evening made more awesomew by Natalie, she should have 5 star's for her service, she was so polite and helpful her service was on point and above everything we were made to feel so welcome, thank you Natalie. see you soon

Had a lovely meal. Very nice food. Great service.

Thanks again to Bethany and all the staff who made us all feel so welcome again even though we didn’t have a booking. One star missing as the prices are a smidge high.

The food needs improving was the worst roast I’ve had in a while and the next day both me and my husband had a dodgy stomach. It was terrible!

Food was lovely! Two of the people from our table are vegan and there wasn’t a big range of vegan options to accommodate them. The service was 10/10, Bethany was very friendly and helped answer any questions about the dishes we had.

Lovely food, great service by pleasant and efficient staff , particularly Vicky.

Food can be expensive and I prefer The Mermaid or The Oaken Arms. Its worth getting the app if visiting often!

Lively place everything great loved it, great boaters pub

Sunday lunch Meat was good, however, vegetables were terrible. Roast potatoes rock hard. Burnt carrots. Yorkshire pudding had the texture of a crisp. The pub is lovely inside and service good. For £20 for Sunday lunch, things need to improve. Was disappointed as had booked it for visiting family members. We have eaten hear before for normal meals and always had decent quality food.

Thanks Nat for the great service! Great food and atmosphere as always.

Perfect visit. Good was lovely, and our server Nat was spectacular, so polite, checked in regular and made the experience relaxing and pleasant - thank you Nat ♥️

Fab find on our destination. The food was excellent, proper homemade goodness 😋 Bethany gave great service with a smile.

Booked a table for 4 and had really nice food and excellent service. The sirloin was good, cooked as requested and the fishcakes were good. Benefitted from a 40% discount off main courses. Would recommend.

Visited today at around 2pm with my partner,what a beautiful Country pub along side the canal. Extremely friendly welcoming staff. We had the lunch time set meal my partner 2 courses myself 3 courses as I love my mini puds and coffee. I had the pate,gammon,then creme brulee mini pud,every course was 5 stars delicious and amazing value for money. My partner had soup of the day and gammon and he also really enjoyed it. 2 courses £16.90 3 courses £20.90 real value for money. Highly recommended pay a visit well worth it. Thank you we will be back soon.

Our first visit was really great. Our server Nat was really friendly, helpful and quick. Excellent food. We’ll be back!

We came here tonight to relive our first date - service was even better this time than it was last time! Nat was absolutely fantastic, so friendly, professional and knowledgeable. The food and drinks were amazing! Thank you Nat, we will be back soon!

What a find.. absolutely fabulous. Perfect sea bass. Delicious fresh prawn cocktail. Refreshing non alcoholic drinks. Next to the canal. Beutiful Boats passing frequently. Super freindly people everywhere here. I loved it. The inside of the Anchor is beutiful oldy worldy and cosy. Low ceilings. Historical artwork. Beams. Fireplace. Christmas 🎄 must be wonderful with all the ambience. Staff are kind, attentive and caring. The food 😋 is top quality. Lovely experience on our business/ leisure road trip through the Black country and onwards. 😍🤩

Lovely pub on the canal, food and drink excellent, free parking and you can take a walk down the canal to burn off the nice meal 😀

Food is always excellent. Staff seem a little rushed but are always polite and friendly. Toilets need some attention.

Leah and Nat were both so friendly and welcoming. We had a lovely chat with Nat about dogs - we love that the Anchor is dog friendly.

Excellent meal in the anchor, our server Nat was amazing, very attentive and efficient which made our experience great with the little one

Today we was served by nataile! She was super friendly and nothing was to much to ask! Will come back soon! Food was fab! Super hot and quick!

We came for a birthday celebration and had exceptional service from Nat. Food was excellent and Nat went above and beyond even lending her glasses for the menu, will definitely return.

Great pint of beer, service is good, particularly friendly service from Issy and Nat . Always a warm welcome for us and our dog

Unfortunately, when we visited the kitchen was closed due to electrical issues (9.8.24). The staff are polite and very willing to accommodate. The menu is impressive and on previous visits I have enjoyed my food. The pub is very cosy and sits right on the canal, on a sunny day it's a great place to sit.

Lovely cosy pub. Even has sparkly fairy lights ✨️

Absolutely adore this place. Stunning inside & out. Great food & service. Highly recommended!!

Lovely pub will definitely be returning Nat a great waitress

Served by Nat all night and was very impressed with the professionalism, friendliness and the service.

Lovely pub, good menue with vegan options, friendly staff, prompt service, excellent food

Really nice pub with cute and cosy decor, food was lovely (fish and chips and ribeye steak with sides) and our servers (Issy and Nat) were particularly friendly and helpful. I’m 8 months pregnant (and very much waddling around) and they ensured I was comfortable and well looked after. They went above and beyond our expectations and made our time at the Anchor Inn extra special. Thank you x

Relaxed atmosphere with quality food and service. Nat, our waitress was amazing. Attentive and professional, she added individuality to our dining experience. Can't wait to come again.

Much improved. Now significantly better than it has been recently. Very good quality food, good value for money. Staff attentive and compotent. Will be returning. If you were disappointed by a visit earlier this year, go back you will be impressed. The makeover is well done, money well spent. Thoroughly recommend to anyone. Not been in a while, good menu, friendly staff. Give it a try. Update: visited again this week, good atmosphere, tabled nicely spaced, table service. Give it a go Update 4th October 2022 Won't be rushing back, frayed seats, sticky tables, dirty paintwork, batter massive on fish and chips. So so service. Update 5th September 2024 Gave it another try. Disappointed. Long wait for food. When it eventually arrived, burger was like rubber, mentioned to waitress, greeted with "o dear'. Will not be returning.

Food was lovely! Service great. Servers were Nat, Vic & Issy.

Couldn't eat as they had no gas and had a limited menu. No txt from them surely there ought to be a system to let customers know as we had a wasted journey. Seemed to want to seat you anyway very poorly organised.

We turned up by boat on a Saturday late afternoon - despite being busy (and maybe a bit too loud!) we were able to book a table for that evening. There was initially some confusion over time of the booking but Nat managed to resolve this and kept us informed of what was happening with our table whilst we were having a drink elsewhere in the bar. Nat then looked after us for the evening, and the service was great given how busy it was! We all enjoyed our meals, especially the veggie panang curry! Dog friendly with water brought over for our dog as soon as we sat down at the table. Would recommend and will rerun if passing.

Great food, good drinks and marvellous service

Fabulous evening at the Anchor Inn. We had lovely food, great service and a fabulous atmosphere. The lamb was absolutely delicious so we will be returning. Nat out server was very attentive and welcoming. Thank you!

Nat was a really attentive and friendly waitress

A nice pub on the canal. Good outside area, but spoilt by smokers. Limited vegetarian options, but adequate l opted for pizza. Some delay in providing food but it was midweek lunch with low staff level.

Visited today and had the lunch time offer (set menu) which was 2 courses for £16.50 which was great value. I had imagined the portions may be smaller due to this deal but no these were very big. Steak frites was delicious rounded off with a classic sticky toffee pudding. Only slight negative was I thought childrens menu was overpriced especially paying an additional £1 for a fruitshoot. Plus pudding wasn’t far off the adult price for the lunch special offer. Will definately visit again!

Canal Festival. Went with friends and family, loved it. A superb singer, Dan Edward’s was playing on the decking outside, several barges were moored up outside, selling their handicrafts, it was a lovely atmosphere.

Vic, Beth and Nat were so lovely and fantastic even after the end of a long bank holiday weekend! The food was also delicious!

First time here but definitely not the last time here! The food is amazing, the staff are so welcoming 🥰 nothing is too much trouble, looking for a fantastic Sunday lunch head down to this pub/ restaurant

Lovely pub and really good food. Service was quick and very attentive. It's right next to the canal so you can get a walk in too.

One of the Vintage inn chain. Food is always good and despite it being a busy Saturday, service was timely and attentive. Nat was personable and most helpful

Good food and atmosphere canal festival was on the place was packed but everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves the staff seemed to cope very well and were very pleasant hope you do another festival next year

Very nice food very good really enjoyed our afternoon meal with very friendly staff will definitely coming back easy parking plenty of tables to choose from looking out onto the boats going by. Loved it 😊
