The Anchor Wyre Piddle in Wychavon

Lovely pub with a fabulous view overlooking the river Avon. Plenty of outdoor seating and inside seating is nicely presented. They have a good range of beers and ciders. The food is great - not the most extensive menu but a good range to choose from and best of all it’s very good quality and value for money

Visited today for Sunday lunch . oddly the pub seems separate to the restaurant as we had to pay for drinks first . The beer was very good as before . We ordered two beef Sunday roasts which came very quick but the plates were cold and the food was not hot , I asked for extra gravy which came in two small pots . When we paid we were charged £1 each for the gravy ,this was quite a shock to us as there was little on the plate to start with ,therefore be aware of this rip off . Wil not eat there again.

Nice spot by the river, friendly lady behind the bar who made us feel welcome and food was served quickly and tasted good.

Booked a table for 7 as we were staying in our caravans in Wyre Piddle. What a little gem had pre drinks on the decking which has 3 layers and watched the swans with their signets go by. The food was freshly prepared and the quality and quantity was spot on. Couldn’t fault The Anchor the bar staff and restaurant staff were welcoming and very friendly. Thank you for making our evening perfect.

Stopped at The Anchor as part of a solo paddle boarding trip along the river. Food orders had been temporarily put on hold due to a very busy service but was a lovely day so decided to sit and have a drink enjoying the weather whilst I waited for service to resume. Waitress Emma you were an absolute gem. Your warmth, friendliness and customer service was commendable throughout my interactions with you. You informed me once the kitchen had started retaking orders and the food arrived in good time and was very satisfying. Although I had good service from others at the Anchor it was Emma that stood out to me and I thank her for a delightful experience. I would recommend The Anchor and intend on visiting again based off this visit.

What's that saying about if it ain't broke...? Hmm. Without a doubt this had been my favourite pub for at least 6 years. I don't live locally anymore but always made an effort to visit when I drove the 150 mile trip to the area to visit family. With its steep garden terrace down to the banks of the River Avon, its own private mooring and views to die for, this tranquil haunt was an idyllic watering hole. Was. Sadly it has been through several changes of management in recent times, and the current custodians have made the worst job of it by far. Without a decent lager in sight, and a fairly uninteresting selection of beers, all the outside tables in view of the river have been turned 90° ruining the views and sit wonkily on the grass section. They are also sticky and dirty, which is why you won't find me reviewing the food here; something I remember enjoying and extolling the virtues of here on TripAdvisor the last time I wrote about one of my visits. I am truly saddened about the way this incredible pub - one with potentially award-winning gardens - has been mismanaged. It was practically perfect until those who felt they had to meddle with an excellent forumla, if only to feel they had 'put their own stamp on it', sent it to rack and ruins. One could almost go as far as to use the word 'scuppered' here, given the pub's name...! If you would like a good pint, great food, a private mooring and a lovely table by the river in the same area, although it pains me to say it given how much I used to adore this place, then may I suggest that you head over to The Star Inn in Pershore? Or anywhere else, frankly. Shame.

This is a lovely dog friendly pub in a beautiful setting. The restaurant has a nice atmosphere, the food was excellent and the staff were very friendly and welcoming. This was the best evening of our stay in the area, we wish we had found it earlier.

Nice food and good value, lovely location. But really not happy to see the chef and waitress fussing dogs, feeding them raw meat with their fingers then cooking and serving up food! Not on at all. Also the table was sticky with drinks rings and clearly hadn’t been cleaned, and won’t be eating there again unfortunately for hygiene reasons alone. Very disappointed.

Great to see this wonderful river side pub on the way up again! Really nice home cooked food and friendly staff. We had the fish and chips and the homemade pie and would reccomend both.

My friend and I visited this charming pub and discovered superb real ales and a very pleasant ambience. We both had a really delicious home made proper Steak and Red Wine Pie with really excellent chips and tender broccoli spears. With a view from our...

Dropped by in the spring sunshine for a beverage by the river. Lovely pub in the process of an outside refurb. Extensive garden and decking area overlooking the water. Very pleasant and welcoming bar lady on arrival. We could have sat there all afternoon. This...

The pub has recently come under new management and is doing food again. What an amazing start they have got off to! The food menu has a good selection of pub classics with some nice touches and tapas and sharers for lighter bites. The spicy...

Judging by previous reviews this pub has obviously risen from the ashes, very friendly staff whom always have a smile, i did meet the landlady seems a lovely person named Jennie she gave me a quick tour, pity about the food situation but she said...

I called in to check if the place still did evening meals. The bar staff didn't know so called someone else. I was told they did and was given a menu to look at with the comment that not everything was available. The menu was...

A beautiful riverside location with so much potential but sadly not a good experience, again. Stopped off today on the canoe for coffee and cake, as advertised on billboard. Slow, unfriendly service in the bar, then waited a further 20 minutes outside for very disappointing...

The pubs changed hands... And not before time. Freehouse now. Good ales, fair price. Jennie and the team are very welcoming, there's a positive vibe back. The kitchen and garden renovations are well in hand. If you had a bad experience with the last lot,...

A pub with moorings in a high end village and picturesque situation. How can you make a mess of that? Well, it appears you can. Decking areas and handrails in tatty and dangerous condition. The back of the pub painted dark grey, and an old...

I have no idea whether all the staff had been having a row before we arrived but everybody here seemed to be bad tempered. We arrived on a narrowboat with the initial plan of staying for the evening. We moored up and went to sample...

I went for a meal in July with my boyfriend. The food was bland tasteless and as expensive as London. What a bad experience. Won't be going there again!!! Dirty tables and had to wait ages to be served.

What has happened? Customers leaving before the food arrives because they're waiting so long, and then the food arrives.....oh dear. Watched someone's meal sit on the bar for at least 10 minutes before anyone decided to take it to the table, fly's enjoying tucking in...

The location for a pub could not be faulted, beside the river Avon. It looks charming from the outside however when steeping inside the charm stops. You are greeted, or not, by ambivalent staff. Then as you enter the tiered beer garden beware the loose...

Decided to stop off for lunch, during a day trip on our boat. Excellent and friendly service, and the food was delicious and plenty of it. Will recommend.

Stopped to break up a long journey and wanted to sit by the river. The location of the pub and teired seating looked ideal. In reality the place was unloved and no maintenance or cleaning seems to have taken place for a long time. We...

Unfortunately was a disappointing first visit to this pub. 24/April 2021.Recently moved into the village and had heard good things from my parents who had visited a few years back. This place needs a lick of paint, the decking + garden has not been touched,...

Visited the anchor inn today. New staff. Lovely ladies behind the bar. Super pleasant and helpful. Food was superb well presented and good portion sizes. The garden is spectacular right by the Riverside. Definitely worth a visit. Can't wait to return.

Haven’t been here since last summer! Nice to be back at this friendly village pub. Some new staff making the place very welcoming. Food is quality and great portion sizes for the prices. Highly recommend the Thai green curry!!!

My host had a birthday dinner for 12 geriatrics. The starter was a soup or a mushroom dish the soup was a little disappointing more of a vegetable paste I tried the sauce that the mushrooms had, very tasty. We all had sirloin steak comments...

Nice place for the summer but unfortunately been ruined by management and staff. You could maybe put up with very average food and beer if the atmosphere was half decent, but miserable, rude staff put a stop to that. This place has changed hands so...

Beautiful spot right on the River Avon, however there is nothing else going for it. Chap with a hat seemed quite rude and aggressive. Cleanliness in these Covid times is non existent I had to ask for my table to be cleaned, although I thought...

If you can tolerate badly kept real ale, poor wine at high prices (£8 glass) and very mediocre food at Gastro pub rates (£22 for mussels) then this place might be for you. Add to it the depressing atmosphere, questionable hygiene (tables not wiped down...

Visited this terrible pub Last week for food Arrived well over 1 hour after ordering Bearly warm The waitress advised me to speak to the landlord He came over Smelling of some sort of herbal fumes Quite aggressive High voice and swearing Saying that he...

Tried the Anchor Just Eat delivery tonight. Wow! Chicken pizza was very high quality (not swimming in oil) large chunks of bbq chicken. Gourmet burger was superb! Food ordered and delivered within the hour. Free delivery to our neighbouring village. Will defo order again!

Beautiful setting on river bank. Although there were far too many chips, the food was excellent, I had a very large fillet steak, cooked just right (medium rare) and my husband had the ploughman’s lunch. Very friendly staff, and a lovely sunny day. Couldn’t ask...

My steak was inedible so had to be sent back. We then ordered desert with ICE CREAM and they came out with cream. Sent them back and they returned with ice cream AND the remnants of cream still in place ! Disgraceful but I must...

We arrived to nice polite staff. We ordered our drinks and food. We had to wait quite awhile for our meal to come out to us. While we was waiting all we heard was the chef having a go at the waitress and waiter swearing...

Called in for a lunchtime snack today after visiting The Confetti Fields in nearby Wick. No sandwiches on offer so plumped for a Ploughman’s @ £12 I thought was pricey but with the current Government Eat out to Help out scheme meant 50% off. 5*...

Terrible food. Very pricey. Burnt chips, burnt lamb, overcooked fish. Do not eat here! Absolutely lovely location for drinks in the garden over the river, but do not eat here. Ever! Very rude blonde Male bar manager. Disagreeable character.

We moved to the area about a year ago and were recommended The Anchor at Wyre Piddle. We used to eat there regularly. However, very sadly our most recent meal confirms what others are also noting. The food quality and service have ‘Bose dived’ our...

Came in after a funeral as a party of 12 and found the service impeccable. We all had meals and everything was superb! All meals served at the same time and great value for money. The location is fantastic and we would highly recommend to...

Four of us went to this pub. Ordered sea bass lovely. Ordered sirloin steak at £18.50, awful. Couldnt cut it, couldnt chew it. Told them, we got offered a free drink, which we didn't want, no offer of a refund for this meal. Will vote...

Visited for lunch with my wife, son, and his partner. We were welcomed, and had the Covid rules, and procedures explained to us. After getting our drinks, we went outside to a table, where we placed our order with the waitress. We were told there...

What’s happened... to this lovely find, we’ve been going for years, food has always been to the highest level-we’ve returned since lockdown and are concerned that regulars need to know that this isn’t the lovely pub you would remember, the staff are very young, without...

Thought after lockdown this place would have been given a new lease of life. Very dirty and dated. Service was bad and was made to feel like a hinderance by the chef/ (boss ?!). Will not be returning anytime soon. Such a shame after a...

No food, very indifferent service, no information about what had happened and why. Was a thriving business under the old managers Luke and Ryan, but seems corporate expertise clashed with common business sense. We stopped for lunch for the first time in months, but were...

We were aware that The Anchor had been taken over and was under new management so thought we would give it a try. Soooo disappointed. Meal came with a salad but no dressing was available - only extra virgin olive oil available! Fish had a...

Stopped en route from Blackpool to Devon at what had become our place of choice for a wonderful home cooked lunch overlooking the river. So very disappointed, after 5 years of visiting, to find the lovely homemade menu replaced by a chalkboard containing standard pub...

Beware mysterious changes of management - visited the Anchor tonight expecting to order food only to be informed that they hadn’t been doing food for a couple of weeks and that there were a few changes about to happen. Real shame as it had shown...

Came in for tea while on holiday greeted by friendly member of staff who helped with order. Menu is on expensive side for pubs. Politely told we would wait a while which was fine as chef was just starting for evening. Manager told us about...

Completely let down by lack of service. Waited almost 50 minutes for food and then still missing one meal (assured it was “on its way”). 20 mins later still no sign. Final meal arrived after the rest of us had finished ours. Apologies from the...

Would be a no star review if that were possible. Went for lunch with family and due to a shoddy level customer service and apparent lack of any sort of management, the we were left waiting for over an hour and a half for food...

Came with my friend Saturday evening and we were blown away by the service and attention to detail. We were made to feel like we were the only people in the restaurant. My friend is a vegetarian but wasn't sure about the menu offered so...

Went to the Anchor inn pub in wyre piddle to have a small snack of loaded fries, garlic bread and chicken strips. Front of house service was exceptional from waiter Sam and bar tender Fabio. Food came piping hot and prompt, thank you to head...

Have eaten here twice in the last ten days and thoroughly enjoyed our meals on both occasions. We will be back again. Tonight we took my granddaughter there for her 8th birthday tea. The staff were great making it a night to remember. Many thanks...

Great location, but the fare and service let it down. The pub has a great riverside location but if the weather is against you it’s just a pub !

We sat outside in glorious sunny weather watching the boats go by in a picturesque setting. We had various choices from the menu which included a vegan burger, conventional burger, scampi and a mackerel salad and the chips were the best I've had in a...

Great food .. great staff .. fab atmosphere. We had a lovely evening .the staff are always lovely and attentive

Visited this pub today for a meal. had a lovely meal and the staff were very friendly - excellent service. Sat outside in the wonderful sun with a beautiful view of the river. Everything was excellent

We found this pub by chance after looking for a river side pub online. We were greeted by very friendly, helpful staff who even helped us to carry our pushchair down the steps so that we could sit by the river with our one year...

Had great evening meal on a glorious autumnal evening. Great bar staff of Holly and Lucy provided wonderful service and rapport. Would rush back.

Chose the anchor for a birthday meal,,,,,, wish we had not,, place was alive with flies. I must have swatted at least Ten or so...food was not good really my hake was over cooked skin not nice ,chorizo & tomato the hake came with was...

Popped in last night to celebrate anniversary as we had experienced a good lunch and sunday roast there in the past. All three courses were disappointing. Nothing was home made (not claimed by owners but expected for price and style of establishment) and seemed like...

Booked a table, and got a good spot. Good choice on the menu, wine came chilled with cooler, screw cap, open and pour your own. Hake dish very tasty and well presented, chocolate tart very good, service very good to start with, but fell away...

My friend chose this place to eat as her and her husband were coming from Swindon and my husband and I were coming from Tamworth and this seemed to be a halfway meeting place. Well what a pleasant surprise it turned out to be From...

The pub setting is superb, the staff are friendly, the beers are great, but the food was disappointing. For the money you pay you expect to get proper chips, frozen fat overcooked and greasy chips just dont cut it. All 5 who had chips were...

Good table booking experience via email. Not a good welcome but better once a member of staff showed us to our table. Very good beer and well presented gin and tonic. Starters of Calamari and King Prawns were very disappointing with doubts regarding cooking and...

This is a great pub for a beer or a meal, especially on sunny summers day when the large beer garden overlooking the River Avon comes into its own. With several levels and lots of tables there is plenty of room inside and out. Friendly...

So .i like to start by saying i would do a return visit. But my steak was over done .( med rare asked for) so ill ask for med . (I can never be sure ). The fish an thai noodles was very good .as...

Had a lovely evening on a very hot summers evening, our food took a while due to a rush of orders being placed because of everyone taking advantage of the weather and location of the pub, we were kept informed by the lovely waitress Holly...

Purpose of visit was for a family birthday meal for 7. Although the previous night's thunderstorms had caused problems in the kitchen and our meal was delayed, the enthusiastic and cheerful attentive service provided by Holly more than compensated and we all enjoyed a tasty...

Good food and beer by the river Avon at Wyre Piddle. I believe under new management and we were most impressed by the quality of the lunch food and the attentive service.

Visited The Anchor today on a whim while travelling across country with our six month old baby. We were greeted by a very friendly and helpful waitress named Hollie who continued to be a joy throughout our visit. The Pork Belly and Hake were both...

Stopping with friends in the local area we were looking for a place to eat in the evening. We booked a table. We arrived early but were shown to our table by a very pleasant member of staff. We chose of the specials menu. The...

This is a lovely riverside pub/restaurant in the small village of Wyre Piddle near Pershore. In good weather most people gravitate to the large wooden deck literally on an elevated position on the banks of the river Avon. The inside restaurant area is fine but...

After driving around the area to find a good pub for a late Sunday lunch we stumbled across The Anchor Inn. With a great view overlooking the River Avon and plenty of outdoor seating, I would certainly recommend this place. Delicious food, attentive service, relaxed...

Staff at the Anchor were very polite, friendly and attentive, The food was excellent and there was plenty of it Would thoroughly recommend and look forward to our next visit !

Good value tasty food, washed down with well kept ales; great riverside setting with ample outside sitting.

Planned visit to a pub by the canal side. Plenty of outside tables although we sat inside on this occasion. Great service. Very friendly & attentive. I had mushrooms for starter & my husband had soup. Both were lovely. Mains were ‘spot burger ‘ although...

Nice pub, good atmosphere, disappointing service. We went with friends on Bank Holiday Monday, having booked a table for 6.00pm. Given the time, it was not over busy, but we were welcomed with "Choose a table". We did - one in the window. It was...

Nice area and if it’s hot and sunny it’s lovely to sit outside with the river Avon. The menu could have more options, unfortunately only one Chicken dish which was not available and there was no Duck salad and it wasn’t even late. Service was...

I have used this pub from a very early age both with my parents and by myself. It has a fantastic location by the river and on a sunny day, such as a rare, hot bank-holiday Monday it is a cracking spot. However, that’s where...

Gemma was outstanding . We arrived with my mother in law who can be difficult . Gemma coped really well and helped her select her food . Her attention to us all was outstanding and we would highly recommend the venue , food and staff...

We have just had an exceptional service at this pub. The garden over looks the river on a number of levels. A number of boats moored up and stopped for lunch and there were a few dogs around so all in all a family friendly...

So nice to be back and having a beer in my favourite pub garden! Sitting in glorious sunshine on an April day, watching the world glide by along the River Avon isn't going to be bettered. The perfect antidote to having been parked on the...

On a beautiful warm sunny day in February, where better to spend some time than an excellent pub by the river. We had a duck salad that was brilliant, the staff were lovely and the sun deck was spacious. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend.

Food was good. No complaints there, cost was reasonable. Service was poor, young girls behind bar only interested in chatting rather than serving customers. Only one IPA avaliable, no Guinness, was told there was a problem with the gas and the owners were not bothered...

Went a few weeks prevoius and couldn't wait to return with friends. Not as good. We were all looking forward to the great cauliflower cheese we had before and what we told friends about, but sadly did not receive it this time although we ordered...

We had heard great things about this venue so I had to book in for Mother’s Day. I was heading here with the sole intention of having a sharing roast as I’d heard this was amazing. Anyway we started off with Baked Camembert and warm...

Just back from an amazing night dining at The Anchor Inn Wyre Piddle. Great real ales on tap to compliment the best pie I've had in a long time. Polite curteous staff promptly responding to our requirements made this a night to remember. We will...

It seemed quite cosy although the music was rather loud, difficult to hear the conversation. We were really hungry ..... but oh so disappointed. The wild mushroom starter on bruschetta... the mixed mushrooms were very bland and the bruchetta was lightly toasted so it was...

Visited on a Saturday lunchtime. We had the belly of pork which was great, but also had the fish and chips. This was definitely below par. Fish was covered in very fatty batter which just soaking in fat. This spoilt the meal completely. It’s a...

We visited the Anchor on the 5th of March and I must say the food was really very good and we are a fussy bunch. I'm sorry to say however, that the overall experience was slightly spoilt by the lack of professionalism and attention to...

Lovely place to sit outside in the summer overlooking the river with a cold drink. We had a family meal here after Christmas for a Birthday and all the adult meals were lovely. The pub advertise that they are family friendly which is why we...

We called on a weekday lunchtime. It would have been much nicer had the weather been better and we could have enjoyed the lovely site alongside the river. The staff were very efficient, friendly and helpful. Parking right outside. Nice, quiet setting. The food was...

Excellent food, excellent service, would highly recommend . Very comfortable surroundings and a lovely riverside setting with outside seating for sunny days.

Had a wonderful meal last night with my daughter. Lovely choice of dishes in all 3 courses. Delicious and very reasonably priced. Friendly and efficient service too. Will come again soon.

What a lovely place. The staff were really friendly and attentive. Yes they were young, (as complained about by others) but so what? They were polite, well spoken and courteous. What more could you ask for. Well done, to the management for their team. The...

A fantastic mooring @ the Anchor Old Spot a great Pub, with a great atmosphere managed by a great team, Brilliant finger food served. The pub is a hub for adventures with brilliant stuff todo in all directions. Toby, Josh and Gemma were almost hosts...

Came with family for lunch and we all enjoyed the experience. Friendly service and good pub food. My wife had the duck salad which she said was lovely. My gammon steak was fine. Good beer choice too. Pretty good all round.

I was there with my partner and her 2 Sons from France, one of whom runs his own restaurant on the Canal De Midi, My partner and I had the Lamb Shank, and her Sons shared the massive meat platter. The service and the food...

Had the sharing roast and it was the best pub roast dinner we’ve had. Well worth a visit. Nice staff.
