Had 3 Sunday carveries, vegetables where either over cooked and cold or still raw, starter prawn cocktail was lovely, but waited at over 30 mins to collect main and it was just warm, waited 5- 10 minutes for potatoes, which where tough on the outside and rubbery in the middle, by the time got potatoes the rest of the dinner was stone cold. seating area was cramped. Only decent part was yorkshire pudding. Waited 20 minutes for the bill, wasn't served so paid at the bar.

Having eat there on many occasions during the summer we found the assistant manager Mark and all the staff very professional, friendly and helpful. Unfortunately our experience last week was quite the opposite. The woman behind the bar was the most abrupt border line of rude person one could wish to meet. She certainly should not be in hospitality.

In the area for a weekend trip and came here for a Sunday Lunch. The staff were fantastic, affable and very attentive. We had a young man and woman serving us and both were so polite and lovely. I had the burger, it was tasty with good quaility meat, however it was marginally undercooked as was the bacon. Not in an unsafe way, more that it appeared to be cooked at a very low heat for a long time as opposed to grilled. The rest of our party had the carvery. All very much enjoyed it and finished their plates. The atmosphere of the pub is nostalgic, if you like country pubs on the edge of a town. Child friendly atmosphere made our lunch all the better.

Went for Sunday lunch , the meat is cut for you and help yourself to the rest BUT when going to the roast pots there was only two left we asked for more but none came out , then when we sat down we were infested with blue bottles around our table , it was a race to eat the food before the bluebottle flys got on it , all threw our meal we were batting off flys , this was not a nice experience, when we mentioned it to waitress she said it was because they had to open a window , well I’m sorry there are always ways to help stop them coming in and it makes you think OMG what is the kitchen like , and we hate being called “my darling “ which was said all the time by the waitress, she was very nice but should not talk to people like this it’s not professional, so all in all not a very good visit .

Perfect for people staying in any of the caravan sites locally and more so if you have a dog and wanting to find somewhere that accepts dogs inside! Thank you so much - we would happily return if we came back to the area again.

First time at The Anchor and we were really hoping to add this to our list of regular local eateries, but left disappointed. Sure, it was Saturday night but it took more than an hour and 20 minutes for our food to arrive, although this wasn’t too much of a problem as we were busy chatting. The dining hall lacks atmosphere - although the ceiling lighting is reminiscent of Hogwarts. The menu is large with plenty of variety, but this can often be a warning sign. My Chicken Katsu Curry had its naan bread replaced unannounced with a single poppadum, and the portion was decidedly small for a £15 main course. The £16 chicken and chorizo skewers also failed to live up to billing, while the burger was average. The moules did get a thumbs up, as did the ham, egg and chips. It’s also worth noting that the staff were very pleasant. Sadly though, we didn’t feel we got good value, although it seems to serve the local campsites well.

So good we ate here twice in a row! First night I had a very good chicken Caesar salad which was very good, just the right amount of caesar dressing, crunchy romaine lettuce and grilled chicken. Unfortunately our sausage and mash was a slight letdown due to the mash but the staff kindly rectify it. When we left we booked for the following night which was Wednesday night carvery @ 2 for £20. At what a delight that was, excellent choice of very good meats and outstanding home cooked roast potatoes and vegetables all of which quality produce. The lady that took care of us on both nights was Carla and what an asset to the business she will be. This was only her second week but it shows that she really cares about her customers satisfaction and making sure that they leave happy, full and content. Thank to Carla, chef Harvey and all the staff at the Anchor ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Mid week carvery after lucking out in a Sunday Roast . Met by a busy member of staff with a cheery disposition & seated .. said she would come & take our drinks order .. watched her flying around for sometime .. decided to go to the bar & get our own drinks .. she *Debra, apologised & I acknowledged she was on her own & no problem .. we waited a further 20 minutes before our food order was taken - we all wanted the carvery - given a ticket & asked to wait until called .. we sat & waited .. it wasn’t exceptionally busy there were empty tables & the carvery counter stood empty most of the time ..so frustrating we nearly walked out & were there 1.30 hours before we got our food!! which was all good. Debra was apologising to everyone & her cheery nature helped .. without her it would be a disaster! Obviously a lack of staff was a real issue here

I suggested The Anchor to my parents whilst visiting them this weekend. My dad was a little reluctant as having eaten here some years back, it had been a disaster and he didn't want a repeat! However he agreed,so I went in Sat and booked. Painless procedure! Explained Mum is GF. On arrival Sunday we're warmly greeted and shown to our table, the restaurant is aesthetically pleasing and seating comfortable. Our drink order was taken and arrived very promptly. We went up to the carvery, you're called when to go up so none of this long winding snake of people round the restaurant! The Chef was friendly and chattted, not though to the detriment of service. He was informative, and was clearly knowledgeable about the contents on the counter, only the Yorkshires were unsuitable for Mum. The meat looked lovely, 4 good choices. Nice selection of veg including a mushroom and leek dish, unusual but pleasant. Lewis our server a very pleasant and polite young man, checked everything was ok and if we needed anything else and then left us alone, no hovering etc. Mum and Dad had desserts, both enjoyed them. My only criticism is that the veg was not hot, it was arriving regularly from the kitchen fresh and clearly steaming, so not sure why it's only luke warm once it's on your plate. I also think £6.95 for 3 blobs of ice cream is a little expensive. However that said it was a very enjoyable meal, in very pleasant surroundings and we will be returning. My Dad used the toilets and wanted it mentioned that they, like the rest of the pub are spotless.

Just back from a lovely Sunday meal at The Anchor. We both went for the Carvery and it was 1st class. Two top meals, 4 meats to choose from, top roast potatoes and excellent Yorkshire puddings. Piled up high and nothing left. Finished off with two lovely desserts. The Honeycomb and Chocolate cheesecake can surely not be beaten but the Sticky Toffee pudding ran it a close second. Excellent, polite service and a thoroughly enjoyable experience. We will definitely return.

My gosh! What a beautiful pub. We had heard some great things recently about The Anchor and WOW they really didn't fall short of expectations. We were welcomed as soon as we came through the door and immediately we felt like we were at home. Taken to a table in the nicely decorated bar area with that real pub feel. There was even a man and his dog propped up at the bar - which we loved. We went on and ordered a Monster Burger and Hunters chicken which was exactly what we expected delicious and huge! Our wait was reasonable considering there were a few tables. Our server (sorry didn't get their name) was attentive and genuinely interested about our day which was refreshing to the chain restaurants now days. We will be back and look forward to having that whopper of a burger again. 🍔 Reccommend 100%

Visited the Anchor with 7 friends and our large table was well catered for. We were seated in the main restaurant and the vaulted ceiling and hanging bulbs really makes a lasting impression. The staff highlighted some new dishes on the menu which some of our party tried - the mini sausages were a hit as were the nachos (and that was just for starters!) I had the chicken and chorizo skewers and they were delicious - all of the food was fresh and hot and given how busy the pub was it arrived quickly. We were well looked after by the staff, and with gin drinkers and some on alcohol free drinks we were very well catered for in that area with a really good selection. In all we had a great night and won't hesitate to be back - definitely need to try the Sunday carvery!

Where do I start. Came here for a lunch for the first time ever, lovely little place nicely decorated, had a log fire burning etc. Was greeted by a guy so we asked if we could get a table for two for lunch. We picked our own menus up as we didn’t get offered any. Another couple came in just after us and sat opposite us and we had a good chat. Baring in mind there was only our table and this other couple so they were not busy at all. They ordered their drinks and food. When the server came over to us we asked if there was another menu as the couple opposite had a different one. And he said no that is the menu untill the couple gave us the lunch one. Anyway.. ordered drinks, then ordered two things from the lunch menu. It took a good 10 minutes for our drinks to come And around 25 minutes for our food to come which we had ham egg and chips & a gammon and chutney baguette. The food was placed on our table and we were asked about sauces, again took a good 10 mins for sauces to come out and then we had to ask for cutlery whilst the food was getting cold. My partner literally cut into her gammon and egg and found a thick short black hair under her gammon and with that I took it straight to the bar and complained and the answer I got back was ‘I’m sorry I don’t no how that’s happened all our chefs wear hats’ … I get that but I’m blonde and my partner has light brown hair so where do you think it came from. It totally put us off and we sent both meals back and left. Wont be eating here again and deffo won’t recommend!!

The food was placed on our table and we were asked about sauces, again took a good 10 mins for sauces to come out and then we had to ask for cutlery whilst the food was getting cold. My partner literally cut into her gammon and egg and found a thick short black hair under her gammon and with that I took it straight to the bar and complained and the answer I got back was ‘I’m sorry I don’t no how that’s happened all our chefs wear hats’ … I get that but I’m blonde and my partner has light brown hair so where do you think it came from. It totally put us off and we sent both meals back and left. Wont be eating here again and deffo won’t recommend!!

Good baked camembert to start but the carvery was very poor. Scrag end of beef and dried up turkey. Veg very average. Only one guy working the busy restaurant. He did his best. Food is usually good there in the week. Very disappointing

Met friends here for the Sunday lunch carvery, great value. Ryan and Adam made us very welcome. Couple of things we did not like was the beef was very over cooked for us, but not everyone like it rare, and the Turkey had run out! This was made up by an extra helping of pork and crackling. Portions are very generous. Service was good and the singer in the afternoon was excellent. Wine and beer was OK too. We plan to go back

Carvery was excellent, had a chap singing live and sang some realy good 50s music. The atmosphere was brilliant but I would of preferred if the restaurant area did not alow dogs as it is really annoying when your trying to enjoy your meal and dogs start barking and I suffer with allergies badly and dogs trigger this off. Over all a good experience but next time I will definitely find a local pub / restaurant that has a pet free section 😉

Fabulous meal with friends on Christmas Eve afternoon. Food was exceptional as was the service from our waiter who was polite, friendly and very efficient. He was the only waiter working due to staff sickness and he should be commended for his professionalism. Would definitely recommend The Anchor and will be returning very soon. Thank you all for getting our Christmas celebrations off to a great start.

Fue atraído por 'de origen local' etc etc. Probé el pastel del día, chichén y jamón, según recuerdo. Traté de cortarlo, pero no hubo suerte. Tuve que apuñalarla con mi cuchillo, muy fuerte. Apenas fue capaz de causar impresión. Decidió perseverar y comerlo ya que era bastante caro. Recordó la canción de Benny Hill cuando un pastel de cerdo rancio le golpeó en el ojo y mordió el polvo. Propietario serio: encuentra alguna manera de servir pasteles para que no terminen como hormigón.

Although they’ve faced a few days of closure it doesn’t take away from the brilliance of the food they serve, food was done beautifully and the burgers cooked very well. Generous portion sizes and very very thick and tasty milkshakes I will definitely be returning. Also to note the tables and kitchen are kept quite clean and there was wasn’t much mess on the floor round the crowded tables which is a good sign the place is being looked after well.
