The Anchorage in Plymouth

Heard a lot about the Buffet Breakfast so we went and tried it for ourselves. I would highly reccomend, Great food and great friendly service. We will be returning for an afternoon- evening meal.

What a fantastic place for a breakfast!!! Friendly staff, fresh food and pleasant atmosphere. What else could you want! Well, you get an all you can eat breakfast for less than tenner, and the food is very tasty.

This pub is on billacombe road in plymstock. I went there with my son for a full English breakfast. Plenty of seating and also seating outside. Very spacious inside. With a good number of tables to sit at. Once given your bacon and sausages of which it's ample and of reasonable quality. You can then help yourself to a good selection of what's on offer. That part is unlimited but believe me it soon fills you . Hot and cold drinks are served and at a reasonable price. You can also have toast with breakfast or with jams after. I found it very filling and of good quality. The place is very clean and with helpful staff. We really enjoyed our breakfast and will go again. Give it a go in think it's worth it.

This roast was amazing every vegetable you could think of lovely meat potatoes and gravy Yorkshire pudding stuffing you got the lot was absolutely delicious and not skimpy on the portions either so could have bubble n squeak next day beautiful ❤️

Been there this Tuesday, absolutely lovely ,share 3 sides .have a steak for a main and it was absolutely lovely .will be back very soon.Service was amazing too,get to meet new chef 👩‍🍳 he was so polite and lovely.

Had a wake there tonight and the food was fab thank you all do much

Ordered a roast to go, booked it for 530 got it at 7pm It was cold phoned to complain and their excuse was traffic has been bad, no excuse would never order or go to the anchorage again very poor service

Went over again this afternoon to check the food out the menu was great the food was excellent 👌 I don't understand the bad reviews, The meals are big the sides too. Would I recommend this place 💯 and I will be going back again.

Iv visited here for the carvery breakfast on many an occasion and will be returning for many more.

Sunday carvery was absolutely delicious plenty of meats to choose from stuffing Yorkshire pudding and not often do you get offered but suet pudding as well. Every veg you could ask for and gravy that was thick and tasty. Staff are so friendly and accommodating as we booked for 1 pm arrived early and they gave up their own diner table so we could eat early. Place is immaculately clean would totally recommend this place.

It was all good till I woke up the next day had bad belly and had diarrhoea for ages not good

Went for Sunday carvery, Food was disgusting, everything was frozen food, tasteless and bland for the amount they charge some fresh veg would be nice, potatoes were awful will never go again

Called in on way to ferry. The fish and chips was poor, greasy, had better at local chippy.i felt the fish was a very thin fillet of one of those farmed white fish. Staff friendly enough, but the place was deserted.

Fantastic service staff were very helpful .food was really good.We will be going back for sure

Beautiful Sunday lunch ,would definitely recommend

Breakfast was okay. Plenty available. For the price it's good

We came here last night to see the Amy winehouse tribute act - she was amazing! However we found the rest of it a complete joke! For a start the venue is not set up / the right size for these type of events. Unless you were in the front 3/4 tables (which the staff reserved for all of their locals) you couldn’t see a thing due to pillars everywhere and it being very narrow. The bar staff were extremely rude, no thank you or smile. We went to the bar once then not again as they made us feel uncomfortable and like we were an issue. The locals were very passive aggressive we were getting stared at and shoved the whole time. Was clear we wasn’t wanted there we were made to feel very uncomfortable. Would just like to point out we did nothing to deserve this behaviour we sat at the back of the room and only spoke to each other. None of this reflects on absolute Amy! She was amazing will definitely see her again just not at this venue.

This knocks other well known pub carveries to touch, with its fresh vegetables, ample meat potions and great prices. This place does not disappoint! Quick service and the staff are so friendly and welcoming, its well worth the visit.

From the minute you work in this place the staff are so welcoming and friendly. Completely go out of there way to make your visit perfect. Where do I start....the food.....Outstanding, huge, top quality. We had to ask for take away boxes. Pudding was exceptional. The most moist light chocolate brownie I've tasted. Excellent value. Without a doubt we will be heading back here. Thank you

Places like this now days don’t seem to exist. Food quality 10/10 Staff 10/10 From start to finish we could not fault this place. We felt so welcome & nothing was too much trouble. Highly recommend & will be returning without a doubt thank you

Sunday carvery was lovely and cheesecake was awesome 👌

Great pub that serves the community and has days for dementia homes at great prices ,friendly staff with great management 👍 👏 😀

Excellent food, huge portions freshly cooked, loved it 😋

Met a football player 🤩food was delicious 😋 service was really good 👍 and atmosphere was amazing definitely recommend for a Friday feast 😄

Absolutely banging Carvery, will definitely return,

Disappointed after following them on FB for so long. "Posh fish sandwich is far from posh. It was a sweaty mess. Unfollowed & won't return unfortunately.

Great service food was excellent

Good Burgers, and fine Ale. A bit loud.

Generous portions - fed well for less than 10 quid each - loades chips with pulled pork and melted cheese & bbq sause - 3 meat kebab with skin-on chips & salad. Welcomed with big smiles - served by Darren who is the perfect host - thank you Darren. Sharon & Angie on table 22 xx

We were welcomed with a warm friendly welcome, staff very polite and helpful. Food is excellent beyond excellence. Reasonable prices for meal and drinks. Will recommend highly.

Had the grill platter between 3 of us and it was loads . All cooked well and delicious

had a wonderful sunday roast with the family for my mums birthday…. the food was lovely the staff were so friendly🥰 will definitely be back

Nice airy surroundings. Comfortable seats (important for a large person like me). Service was excellent, polite and very helpful. I have been there twice and each time we had one of their sharing platters. Good hearty food and lots of it. Not high gastronomy, but good value and tasty. Both times we failed to finish and required doggy bags (that's saying something because I have a very healthy appetite).

We were looking forward to trying out this place, but unfortunately, we'll not be back. We had the Sunday roast. The meat looked like it had the texture of coming out of a tin, tasted like it, too. My wife asked me if I killed the potato, and I said yes. When I asked why, she said hers was really salty. The next potato I had, I can only describe as having a spoon full of table salt. It was vile. I've no idea what you did, but you must have spilt an entire pot of salt on them. I'm sorry, but I'm sure lots of people like your food, but we had a really bad experience with our visit.

First time in forever a very long time ! Went and had a breakfast , myself and son throughly enjoyed it . Great value for money , it’s a buffet style , but we had ours plated by the landlady who asked what we required , and enjoyed it . 👍

Absolutely insane breakfast 🤤 insane quality for the price ! WILL BE BACK!!!!!

The food quality in the Anchorage is abysmal, clearly all frozen and this is not reflected in price point, presentation of some dishes is just bizarre, the glory days of this place are well and truly gone, needs another takeover in my opinion

Had a wonderful experience. Lovely staff , good food enjoyed by all.

Excellent place for food, Mari and Ross have done an amazing job with this place and the food is excellent thanks to the amazing chef Sam and her team! Sunday carvery is to die for! The home made desserts and divine. Well done team Anchorage

Friendly staff .warm welcome. Food good .service . What more can you ask for .thanks for service

not sure the Indian selection goes with the oriental planter would prefer it to be all Chinese items then possibly do an Indian platter. other then that its great value for money

Really good food and such a friendly atmosphere very child friendly to. Went again and had there all you can eat breakfast and wow it tasted amazing and they were constantly topping the food up with yummy fresh food.

Arrived an hour and half early!!! Not great when ordered for when everyone is home!!!!! - I was looking forward to trying this restaurant but honestly the food was not great!, steaks burnt to a crisp and black!, given 2 breasts then 2 grizzled looked like boneless thighs!, gammon was just 2 lumps of meat pink and grey looking absolutely disgusting full of fatty bits wouldn’t even feed to my dogs! Completely a waste of money had to order somewhere else for the correct time! Will not order from he

loved it all wasn't keen on the seasoning on the potatoes but that's personal taste it was exceptional value for money so glad you are back to delievering

Beyond excellent experience, lovely friendly reception when we arrived, really tasty food, humongous portions and the most lovely note that made us smile when we got back home. Would recommend and will definitely order again 🥇

Highly recommend. We had a carvery cooked to perfection. Variety of meat & vegetables, tasted beautiful. Even squeezed in dessert, which was oh so scrumpy. Staff were very friendly & helpful. Well worth the price. And we be coming back.

Great food at very reasonable prices will definitely go back staff where all very helpful and polite

Another excellent carvery today. Choice of 3 meats, large selection of vegetables & yummy potatoes. Fresh, hot & served by friendly attentive staff. One of the best around. Dog friendly, comfortable seating & sport on tv. Free parking... Highly recommended.... booking advised.

My first visit here. Great food, lovely staff, great atmosphere, lovely decorations. Plenty of room to seat. Plenty of parking. Will visit again

It was friendly good service, the buffet was good, as was the atmosphere. Just no real ale, well apart from Doombar, which I hate.

Super friendly service, good food, great atmosphere!

Breakfast was definitely a 12/10 , top notch

I’ve been here a couple of times and now they have a new chef the food is to die for ! And with the place being under new management nothing is to much of a hassle , please go visit the place you won’t be disappointed!! Oh and it’s dog friendly so that is a bonus for us ♥️

From time of order we waited an hour and a half for our food. We were told (by the very embarrassed and friendly lady) that the next chef on shift would be in after we had to chase up twice. We could see 3 chefs in the kitchen and there were 3 tables (including ours) waiting for food, another of which was complaining. When the food arrived mine and my Dads “brioche” hot dog bun was in fact on part baked bread… that hadn’t been fully baked 🤦🏻‍♀️ We had my 10 month old with us, and thankfully he was in a great mood. The lady serving gave us a free drink to apologise and we didn’t make a fuss. But my Dad did tell me that was the worst service he had ever received 😳

The service and food was great. Catered for a 90th birthday party.

Plates were cold and food wasn't very warm and it was noisy

Great carvery, fast service and nice staff

Lovely Sunday cavery would highly recommend it

Can't believe the food prices have doubled and the food is such poor poor quality. Honestly disgusting cheap food. Staff are nice though.

Not bad ,standard pub grub,prices reasonable

Very quiet when I went, beer ok,probably more of a place to get something to eat perhaps, looked like your normal pub grub fare.

Phoned twice to make a booking and was told someone would phone me back and they never did, despite taking my details twice! and me waiting for them to call!!

Only started going here in the last few months. I don't know why I haven't been there before! They are great! The staff are AWESOME and really friendly, I feel like I'm part of the family and they love dogs too

Didn't realise it was a sport pub. Too many people shouting over a game of pool plus football on TV as well. The main course was lovely but get there early or the kitchen closes and you don't get a dessert. We arrived at 7.30 not like it was late. Wouldn't go there again x

First time here. Will not be the last. Sunday carvery. Best we have had in years. Staff friendly will defo recommend to friends

The Carvery was grim, carrots were rock solid, sweetcorn was soggy, potatoes looked nice but didn’t taste it and the meat was cold. The whole set up for the Carvery was bad as well especially for disabled customers. Made the lord Louis look like a 5* establishment

Lovely food served by very pleasant staff. The place was very clean and tidy. Definitely worth a visit. It's on my list of return visits.

Had to give one star to be able to leave a review but did feel it wasn’t worth that came to Plymouth year and half ago and this was the place to be did see the videos had stopped with the owner but didn’t realize the food had gone so bad looked lovely but overpriced but awful won’t be returning!

Unfortunately the carvery at 5pm was not very nice, the veg was dried out and it was Luke warm. Most of the desserts were sold out. I private messaged them to give feedback because I feel if you are serving 2 courses until 6pm then your carvery and choices should be the same at 1pm or 5pm. The reply was quite curt and ridiculous as the person said "we can't change the veg after each customer" ?? 🤔 who the heck would suggest that I certainly didn't. I was happy to go back and try a different time because the staff were lovely and it's new management so I like to support, however following the response I won't be returning

Good value carvery food, friendly service and easy parking, its also a sports bar with large TVs.

Order our food and sat for 30 minutes, decided to ask how long our food will be we were told their was 3 tables in front of ours and our food hadn't been started cooking so asked for our money back and left, won't be back.

Had breakfast here for the first time, good quality food, excellent service. Food was cooked well, compliments to the kitchen staff

Great food, friendly staff and good atmosphere

17 pound crispy chilli beef the noodles was white no flavour beef was okey i left the noodles

Personally I liked what I had. Yes the toast and eggs had been on the trays a while but what do you expect. I would certainly go again.

Lovely meal, excellent value for money

First time trying the carvery with my family and was very impressed with the food although it started to go a bit greasy at the end as the plate was cold. Got great service from Katie.

Great vocalist, free entertainment.

All good will revisit in the future

Staff were really helpful and friendly. Food was average pub food.

New landlords I believe, food and service was great, 16 if us went after work. found out they have a pool table, I will be back.

I have visited the Anchorage on many occasions and if you have a big appetite this the place to go. The servings are on the large size but nice menus for all.

Brillant food, as usual, great staff, see you again soon.

Over priced for bang average food

The meals in this pub is awesome definitely worth a visit..

Nice food. Friendly welcoming staff. Nice choice of drinks

Didn't have half the things on the menu. Burger was not cooked properly. We were a large party so maybe they were under pressure. Did offer me a free drink or dessert. Wouldn't want to eat there again.

A great breakfast experience. Friendly staff and great food. Thank you.

Nice clean & bright, best breakfast in Plymouth with friendly & helpful staff. Highly recommended.

Great place. No thrills big meals big value

Great food great prices, let us take our own cake for our daughters birthday great service thankyou

Roast was ok but quite a chavy atmosphere

Have been here before and food was lovely. Today for a treat we wanted a carvery so booked a table for later in afternoon. Arrived,got our table paid for our carvery then when got to counter was told only had one meat as sold out but wasn't told that when paying cuz if we was we would have gone somewhere else as not a lover of turkey except for Xmas, and they should have had more meat as still was a couple hours before they stopped serving. So turkey it was but the veg looked like it been there a while so didn't look to great but again made the most of it there was one spoon full carrot and swede left so nothing for family then got to potatoes which looked like they was Laying in fat and not drained but again tried to find some on top which wasn't in fat. Went to eat it and was luke warm and not very appetising. Then about half hour later more people came in and all of a sudden fresh hot veg came out even brocoli and seen it steaming where ours was less than warm. in all this time not one waitress came to ask how it was until they wanted to clear our dishes was asked was it OK and i said it wasn't very warm and she said she tell them but again no one came to apologise. So i doudt will be going back to soon

Just had my daughters 18th party up with you guys i cant Recommend the Anchorage enough. the Buffet was lush and louise and sar were awesome what a hoot they are!!!

The food was amazing me and 3 friends ordered 2 of the meat platters. Wow everything was cooked perfectly meat was really tasty! Service was quick and bar maid/ waitress was lovely and friendly. We sat outside on the balcony and enjoyed another couple of beers in the sunshine. We will be returning for sure but bringing the whole family next time! We'll done to all at the anchorage!

Went here with my friend for a platter, found a nice small table in half empty restaraunt got our drinks then went to order food and was told no food available as kitchen too busy and that they would only serve us food if we prebooked a table...so warning to anyone travelling far to come and eat here make sure to prebook even if the place isn't busy! Else you will be left dissapointed

Cheap undercooked food travelled with my mate pa and we are highly disappointed with the food cheap Iceland food, staff very unhygienic also dogs running around the place will not return

Excellent place. Customer service amazing staff are always friendly and welcoming, food is amazing nothing is too much. Definitely recommend with a solid 10 out of 10!

Excellent food lovely service very welcoming

Great place to eat and great owners and staff
