Great location. The food was quite pricey considering the quality which was average. The service was very slow, having to ask to order drinks. Etc. Won't be back in a hurry.

We booked a pod outside as a surprise for my mother's 82 birthday. I was worried it may be a little cold and service slow but I need not have worried. Greeted with smiles and good service, pods warm and food good. Interiors of pods could do with a little spruce up, and the garden perhaps a little smarter and the food is pricey but we had a really lovely 2.5 hours being weighted on hand and foot. We eat out a lot and the one thing that puts us off a return visit is untrained uninfected staff....certainly not the case here. Would recommend.

Haven’t been for a while, had poor experience a good few years back (tiny portions & extremely expensive) so I have only been since in the garden for drinks in the warmer months but went out with friends & they suggested here. Staff were very polite, excellent service, I had the mussels, fries & sourdough, was very very nice, drinks were good. My only criticism was when we booked the table it gave 1.5 hrs, now a catch up with friends, 2 or 3 courses is likely to be more than 1.5 hrs. I would have understood if it was fully booked but there were lots of free tables so not sure why it doesn’t allow longer, we stayed approx 2.5 hrs. Will return though now the food has vastly improved.

Me and a veggie friend came here for dinner and had a glorious time, a glorious meal and lovely service from Megan! She was helpful for my friend deciding what dishes would best suit her preferences and she was just generally lovely and attentive without being intrusive. I'm a regular at The Anchor and can ALWAYS vouch for the gorgeous location and quality of the food. See you soon!

Food always good, service is now better with more bar staff in May 2023. Beer a little dear but it's not a 'session' pub as such, more a chill with a few drinks type of place. Lovely location.

Beautiful location and great in summer when you can sit out near the waterfront. We'll kept,tidy good looking restaurant. The only thing stopping the 5 star is the toilets could do with an update really. Otherwise a great place to go for food and drink .

Very disappointed overall, we booked for a 60th birthday celebration there were 18 of us and hardly any of the food was eaten! Either cold, undercooked, gloopy sauces, strange textured sticky puds, I could go on. I have frequented this pub on many occasions and to be honest it is a bit hit or miss but I’ve enjoyed the atmosphere and the decor along with friends so I’ve always forgiven the food aspect. However on this occasion I have decided that enough is enough, I want to go out for dinner and know that I will get what I paid for and enjoy it, so I will not be returning

This was my first visit here having overheard a conversation saying you absolutely must go there. I was not disappointed. The location with beautiful gardens overlooking the river Crouch justifies the title of the Essex Riviera: the food is quite superb and varied, and the service is friendly warm and welcoming. I have added a new venue to my go-to list! Just one word of warning, avoid traveling there on the road from Battlesbridge which is called Watery Lane and for good reason as apparently it is permanently flooded! Approach via Rawreth. But do go there you will love it!

Lovely place we only went for drinks. Took over 15 mins at the bar after requesting our drinks to them being placed on the bar. 1 cider 2 wines and a southern comfort and lemonade. The girl said she was new....had no idea about non alcoholic ciders even though I had them there before. Knew nothing about wine so had to wait for her to ask what was the house wine and one that was more on the sweet side. Such a shame as a really lovely place. Maybe training is needed before new staff serve or they are shadowed. It can be daunting for them especially when they are in front of the customer.

It feels like the anchor has changed hands a few times in the past years, it was exceptional 10 or so years ago and then went down hill, I feel like it was brought by a chain and the quality did a nose dive while prices continued to increase. I've not been on a few years as a result until last week. I am not sure if there has been new management again recently because the food during this past visit was excellent and the service was exceptional. It's still over priced I feel which is why I've dropped it to 4/5 overall.

We chose to have a pod for our Christmas do, dining from the festive menu. There were 8 of us and each one of us enjoyed our meals, the rib of beef being the main highlight, we complimented the chef (Marchin I believe?).

Extremely disappointed with the food. Considering I have been there on many occasions during the year the food has always been good Today I can only describe as abysmal being famished I really needed to eat. The set Christmas menu was £30 for two courses The whole main meal tasted as if it had been reheated and lukewarm, the roast potatoes were burnt, the turkey was dry, the veg was nearly non existent…what I had was overcooked the gravy was far too salty Because I was hungry. I ate it but it has left a horrid after taste. The pudding was awful chocolate mascarpone cheese cake…it was so dry… popcorn was awful… with more cream it was still dry… My friend next to me had to send her meal back as it was cold. When she got it back the beef was so fatty she couldn’t eat it. Consequently she didn’t have anything to eat. I did tell the waitress, she gave me a card to write in about my complaint… I would like to know what the owner thinks of how his business is being run. If the head chef is having a day off perhaps you should close down for the day as the food that you serve on those days is substandard! I very much doubt I will advise anyone to eat at this restaurant! I await your response!

11/2023: I'm afraid I'm having to update this review. Although the majority of my earlier comments remain, I'm still convalescing from open wallet surgery. £25 for a pie is a joke. A pub in London sells the best pie I've every had, 3 times the size for £12. Food is still nothing to write home about. The "Birdeye" burger comes out the freezer. For £19, I'd expect mince and to be asked how I want it cooked. Our waitress was lovely and I hope she kept 100% of the tip. We forgot to ask for her to remove the automatically added 10% service charge, which means an extra junk of the bill gets wasted by the Government. Will I go back? No. Not until Peter Borg-Neal stop being so greedy. 2018 Nice place. The decor would fit into any trendy London establishment, pleasantly refreshing from the norm. Staff are friendly and courtious. Almost silver service. The food is good, but I've had better. The reason for only four starts is the price. Prices are akin to London resturants without the wow flavour. It's only down the road and we'll still go back.

Sorry but this isn't a gastropub. The food was pretty dire. french onion soup was hot on one side of the bowl and luke warm in the other. Porchetta looked amazing, but on moving the meat, the carrots were cremated. No chef should send out black vegetables. The waitress asked me to wait while she replaced it. 16 minutes later, the section waitress asked what was wrong with the food. She then went to replace it. Then the gentleman I assumed was the manager came over and told me there had been a misunderstanding and they thought I was eating it and were bringing me replacement carrots? 26 minutes to cook replacement carrots? Left me feeling the whole experience was my error, not theirs. The chicken (pollo picanti) was unrecognisable. It looked more like a bad Nandos. Very low quality chicken and again massively over cooked. The waiting staff were stretched. 45 minutes for the starter to arrive & then 40 minutes for the main. I am very disappointed and can not recommend it.

Barman Charlie was friendly, polite and efficient behind the bar and soon other-half and I were seated on the patio with drinks and menus to peruse. Enjoying the sunshine, we chatted and chose Sunday Roast Beef each from the rich and diverse menu... Apple & Cinnamon Pie for dessert. This is such a gem of a venue and I urge you to enjoy the views and drink/dine there yourself. Charlie and his colleagues will look after you really well too.

The food looked good and mostly tasted OK (except the roast potatoes which were stodgy re-heated ones) but everything was cold except the cauliflower cheese which came in its own hot iron skillet. We were warned by the people next to us about the cold food before we ordered so when we ordered I said to the waitress "we hear the food can come up cold?" and she said "Don't worry ill make sure myself that it's hot but if its not just say and we'll heat it up more". Sure enough, most if it was cold. The original waitress was nowhere to be seen but the manager came over and asked "How is your meal?" So I told her. She argued rather than apologise and suggested we were being unreasonable. She had an irritated tone so I stopped her and said "there's no need to be rude, you asked!" at which point she rolled her eyes and said "So you want yours extra-hot then?". No, just "hot" or even reasonably warm would do. By now, rather than walk out, I was determined to get a hot lunch. I saw a story in the paper that day about a restaurant in Bordeaux where people were infected with Botulism but I think I'd rather go there than ever visit the Anchor again.
