The Anchor Inn in Dover

First time eating at Hay’s Shack, highly recommend, food piping hot and tasty, service excellent, nice clean restaurant, will definitely come here again.

As the many good reviews testify this restaurant provides well-cooked food and attentive service. However, when my wife and I visited on a cold November evening we found the heating to be so inadequate that we did not enjoy our visit at all. At first, I thought I was feeling the cold because of my old age, but then I heard much younger customers at a nearby table complaining about the temperature. One of them even had to stand up and stomp his feet to restore circulation. The waitress told us that all the heating was turned on, but I could only see two radiators in quite a large area, and they seemed quite ineffective. The manager then told us that the restaurant was cold because it was in an old building. This was hardly a convincing explanation as we had been in an 18th century pub less than an hour earlier and been quite comfortable. Before we had finished our main courses we decided that shivering under four layers of clothing was hardly the best way to spend a birthday celebration dinner, so we left and had our dessert elsewhere.

One of our favourite places to have coffee and delicious food on the beach now has an indoor seating area. What’s not to like! Top spot in Walmer/Deal 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Absolutely one of my new favourite places to go! The staff are always super polite and welcoming, and do whatever they can to ensure you have a lovely experience. Food is A-Ma-Zing!!! And super affordable. I recommend you get their homemade cakes 😍 Highly recommend!

Very tasty and fresh fish and chips ( made to order) . Nice kind staff. Clean and tidy. Nice big portions too. Would definitely go back if we lived closer.
