The Blue Anchor in Torbay

Myself and partner has booked a table for 6.30 pm and when we arrived we told by young lady behind the bar our table was in the window. We sat down and after about 10 mins nobody came to see what drinks we required. My partner ordered them at the bar 🍸 we then waited another 10 mins or so and I went to bar and ordered food it was only then that tge young lady said she was on her own for the night so food had to be ordered at the bar. Nothing had been said previously! The item we requested steak and jail pie was not available so I ordered lasagne which was quite nice but not a lot of meat but padded out with peppers. My partner ordered beefburger and it was cremated nobody came to ask how food was only when he went to pay it was disgusting. Very dissapointed 4/10 total

Brilliant pub if you’re looking for traditional, delicious food right on the harbour. Visited with family and all throughly enjoyed our food. Steak and ale pie, fish and chips and plaice and prawns made up our order and it was excellent! If you’re looking for a traditional pub with great service, this is the one!

If you're wanting great pub food then the Blue Anchor is for you. The steak and jale pie , the fish pie and the burger were great. The service was friendly and the prices good for being next to the harbour.

We were looking for a traditional pub for Sunday lunch and we’re happy to find the Blue Anchor near the Quay … we were greeted warmly by the gentleman behind the bar and told that they welcomed dogs and that they could find a table for 2 of us for lunch. The dining room was a little dark but it has low ceilings and lots of charm - we were told the ‘upper’ room was always booked well in advance. Lovely serving staff - very cheerful and nothing was too much trouble - we had the traditional roast lunch (pork & beef) and the portions were very generous and they were both absolutely delicious Prices very reasonable too We really enjoyed it and would definitely go back

A lovely pub and excellent food, service and staff. We booked a table for 6 for dinner, 4 adults and 2 children. Very friendly waitress who was very helpful. Great service and delicious food. We all really enjoyed it and will definitely go back.

Great live music venue. Really friendly good selections of beers. Our woof loved the place as she got constant attention

Been here many times before , but after today will not visit again !! Me and husband got a drink on entering the pub for me himself and our older siblings . They left us at our table to go eleswhere . We ordered our food it took forever to come but it was edible . My husband fetched another drink from the bar and payed there and then . So only our 2 meals where on our final bill . On leaving my husband went to the bar to settle our bill and was querying the extra madri & a water ? Not ours i only had a cider . Our glasses where still on table . They wouldnt accept that we where telling the truth and insisted we had other drinks that we clearly did not have . Refusing to pay for something we hadnt had they reluctantly took the 2 drinks of our bill . Terrible customer service and very un professional ! Will not go in there again . Avoid much better places to eat & drink . Berry head hotel alberos or Prince william . Great service and we tip everytime !

3 adults, a 12 year old and a small baby (in a baby carrier so no pram etc) looking forward to watching a band here on a Sunday afternoon. Hung around in Brixham for four hours and planned the day to specifically watch them as we have seen them before and they are very good, only to be told when we entered the pub that ‘we don’t allow children in our pub.’ Could understand if the 12 year old was running around/being a moron but we literally went to a table and sat down. Confused as the first sentence on the website is ‘family friendly pub’ ??????????? So disappointed- what a rubbish experience and completely contradicting information.

I’ve given it one because of the miserable,grumpy, no sense of humour owner. Everyone else was great and good atmosphere but he’s definitely too old and needs to retire.

We had 3 fantastic meals, the steak and ale pie and the local cod are well worth a try. Staff and service is also fantastic highly recommend a visit

We always love our visit to The Blue Anchor! Always greeting warmly and have a great time there, great beer and gins etc. Staff always friendly and conversation struck up with locals which is always lovely. Food here is fantastic, whether from the Specials Board or regular menu. Looking forward to our next visit. Thank you for another memorable visit!

Despite being very busy on New Year's Eve, we were found a table quickly and our order taken. Some menu items were not available, but the alternatives we chose were well cooked and presented and accompanied by Jail Ale and Guinness!

Went for a fantastic Sunday lunch that was reasonably priced. The beer was good and staff were friendly and helpful (dark haired guy with a beard and an older man). There is a sign up saying no children but it’s targeted at children in pushchairs and high chairs which is understandable as there just isn’t room for them in this rustic pub (kids aren’t allowed in the bar area either but that’s pretty normal). As long as your child can be seated normally (my daughter is 4), you’ll be fine but if they misbehaved they contractually can be sold to pirates. We actually went back for the basket meals on another day.

We visited for Sunday lunch whilst staying in Brixham based solely on tripadvisor and reviews. It was quite possibly the best Sunday lunch we have had. Really generous portions, home made and expertly cooked. The prices are reasonable and the service was great too. Would 100% recommend to anyone and would love to come back for Sunday lunch in the future.

This pub is great for a pub lunch. Food was very nice Staff friendly. Also pub is dog friendly I had a burger and hubby had liver and onions both meals were hot. Will go back agin

Called in for lunch.Excellent food, and great service with a smile. The scallops and plaice were both tasty dishes cooked well. Thank you we will be back.

Managed to find two tables for lunch, which was lucky because its not a big pub once you are inside, just how a pub in a fishing harbour should be be. We ordered food and drink at the bar which was easy enough. The jail ale was a really good pint, so good i had two but the branding design on the glass was very scratched and looked a bit tatty, this doesn't effect the taste or quality but it's just something that niggles me when it happens. Food did take a while to come but we didn't mind, it just meant we could have another pint. When the food arrived it was well worth the wait, the fish and chips and the steak pie were obviously freshly cooked and the portion sizes were decent. Quality of food was very good and the steak in the pie just melted in your mouth.

My husband and I stopped in here for an early dinner before going to watch the rugby on a Saturday night. The food is good home cooked pub grub. We both picked off the specials board, I had a fish pie which was delicious and my husband fish and chips, his fish was huge and absolutely delicious. I would highly recommend this place if you fancy some good hearty pub grub, we will definitely be returning.

Called in for a quick lunch whilst visiting Brixham, lovely friendly pub with a top notch crab sandwich. Service was fab.

Our first time at the blue anchor good job we booked before coming to brixham as it was full. Really friendly staff and the roast (pork) was lovely with plenty of everything will definitely return next time we are in brixham

Just off the quay menu for lunch is wonderful. Ice cold Guinness and Carling accompanying steak and ale pie and fish pie Brilliant meal will definitely be back

We are on a day trip to Brixham whilst on holiday in Torquay for 2 weeks. The menu has lots of lovely choices for all tastes and a very good daily specials board. The meals are worth every penny and they are full of flavour. The staff are very welcoming and the pub has lots of atmosphere. I will definitely recommend to all my family and friends. Thank you blue Anchor for a lovely lunch.

friendly staff, good range of beers and providing good food, I particularly enjoyed fish goujons and chips in a basket this was certainly not a snack meal.

Fantastic afternoon having a great drink, entertained by the barman Tom, who was a great comedian and singer. Made our afternoon. Also great atmosphere and excellent beer, would bight recommend this pub.

We popped in at the last minute for a drink and some food and was welcomed upon arrival. We was shown our seat in a booth style for covid reasons. Our waitress who I think was Rachel was brilliant from start to finish. We had the chicken curry which was amazing and was asked if we was ok and if we needed anything else. This is a cosy little pub with a big heart and I can’t rate this enough we will be back at some stage to visit thanks guys.

Amazing company outstanding food staff are friendly welcoming and nothing is too much trouble would recommend this place to anyone visiting Brixham well done Kev, Colin, Tom Rachel and the rest you guys are amazing

Love the cosy feel of this traditional pub. Whenever we enter, we feel like we've come home! Always made to feel welcome and the food is tasty too! If you're in Brixham it's a must! 👍☺️

A very warm welcome as always,great choice of beers,spirits & wines. Food is home cooked to a great standard & well worth the purchase price....evening entertainment is always of a high quality. Excellent landlord & staff going above and beyond to accommodate in these hard times....

Lovely traditional English Harbourside pub. Great beers and wines, we've had lsome really fab roast lunches and tasty classic pub grub. Good service, good quality food. The pub is small and cosy over 2 levels, with a real fire in winter. Staff are a lovely team and really care about their customers. A gem to be cherished. Sadly some people have written unfair reviews, visit and make your own mind up.

Me and my wife came in for what was going to be a quick drink the other day, ended up having lunch and staying for a good three hours! The service was amazing, we're sorry that we didn't catch names of the guys behind the bar but if you do come down make sure you talk to the little guy with the terrible jokes! We treated ourselves to some steak and jail ale pies and they were to DIE FOR. Thank you Blue Anchor! See you again!

Rude Rude RudeStaff were rude food was warmed up.Made to feel very unwelcome as soon as we walked in the door. I would avoid drinking or eating at this place as there are some lovely pubs in Brixham. Don’t let this one dive of a place with rude staff who have no manners put you off the area.

Sadly, an unpleasant initial welcome from staff that didn’t get any better. We only popped in for a coffee and were made to feel it was just too much trouble 😩

We came along to the Blue Anchor to find the welcome frosty at best. We were told to sign in after being curtly asked had we already done it.We were then shown to a table to be told that due to bookings we would need to vacate within the hour which was understandable but may have been explained in a friendlier manner. After a few minutes the miserable waitress placed a reserved sign an our table and asked us what we wanted.We ordered coffees and hot chocolate.After our order was abruptly taken one of our group approached the bar and asked if we could have any snacks only to be told that we couldn’t as we hadn’t booked. After a short consideration we decided to leave and was then told we couldn’t as we had already ordered. When explained to the waitress that we had decided to leave due the their poor attitude we were faced with a barrage of excuses and attitude that really didn’t surprise us as that’s why we had decided to leave in the first place....If you want a warm welcome and some joy please avoid as they really don’t want your business....

Lovely little bar with a great welcome. Good is recently style grub. Good choice of Alex and beers. Tried a few Gins too. Overall Excellent

Popped in whilst on holiday and what a lovely pub! Great atmosphere, staff friendly and helpful and made us feel at ease. Would highly recommend a visit

Visited a few time and had a great welcome every time. Good beer excellent selection of all drinks. Typical pub grub it enjoyed everything we tried.

It’s been such a tough year for the hospitality business we all know. What a treat to be inside a pub at long last supping a delicious pint of Guinness and talking to complete strangers on the next table. It’s as close to normal we’ve had in over a year. Brilliant! Great friendly pub!

Terrible food, warm beer and damn right rude people. The place need a damn could clean. No wonder it’s got a food rating on 1. Avoid avoid avoid!!

Sent a very polite message to ask if outdoor dining was available on the weekend of 8th May, response was, we are closed until the 17th May, followed by ‘are you @@@@ing kidding me!’ And ‘ blatantly no @@@@‘s given’ So rude and uncalled for, for a business that probably relies on tourists. Shame on you for thinking that’s an acceptable way to speak to people. Speaks volumes, so I suggest you avoid at all costs and find a pub that actually wants customers and values them.

Everything was amazing, could have spent all afternoon here. The chicken curry was yummy; everyone was so friendly. What a nice place to while the time away; more fool us for not visiting before. Will deffo be back

Been to brixham for 10 years and can’t believe we have never been here before. Service excellent food well WOW!! Highly recommend. The curry was awesome..

my favourite pub, very relaxed. Make sure i visit whenever I am in the area. Never had a bad meal. The pie and mash is fantastic. Very good value for money. The staff and owner could not be more helpfull.

We arrived on a busy afternoon. We were greeted and taken to a table. Lady serving us was knowledgeable about the beers. Nice décor. Track and trace done hand sanitizer although pub is small enough space between us and other people. We had a couple of pints of Dartmoor Jail Ale.

Dropped into the pub in the middle of the coastal path walk. Had the crab sandwiches , fantastic and would go back without hesitation. Good selection of beers,

there was a basic menu on offer here at this time. what we did have was enjoyed. if you just wanted a main course or a snack meal then ideal.

Myself,husband and daughter popped in Saturday night for a couple of drinks, great fun atmosphere and the staff are so friendly, while we there the staff had to deal with an extremely rude and abusive customer, this didn't put me off, instead, reassured me that this is a decent pub!

Visited the blue anchor because the roast had been recommended by a friend. We skipped breakfast so we were really hungry. Food was fab. Meat really good quality lots of fresh veg and gravy. All in all great venue and lovely food. Homemade puddings were really great too. Highly recommended.

We've just eaten the homemade crab cakes and the turbot. Absolutely delicious and great value for money. The staff are great. We'd recommend this place and have the crab cakes again. Would have added a photo but the food looked too good to wait!

Tied a fish and chips meal two days before at another restaurant, and wanting a change, decided to try something different so we went into the blue anchor for lunch.A very cosy old fashioned pub, we all tried the home made chicken curry and have to say it was a nice change and not too spicy, it came with rice, nan bread and a popadom followed by bread and butter pudding with custard. Very enjoyable.

Lovely friendly pub with nice food. The chicken curry and chips were perfect for a winter warmer. The staff were really nice.

I’ve just eaten the scallops meal from the specials board omg. They were the best I’ve ever tasted with potatoes, fresh green salad, peas and well done bacon pieces. Not many will fault this superb fresh dish . Must order this again and it’s good value when the taste lingers on and you can’t wait till next time . Well done Kevin ( chef of the day )

After an unsuccessful attemot to find gluten free fish and chips in Brixham, we settled for crab salads at the Blue Anchor. It is a typical pub with a good menu, although it seemed rather crowded and is certainly popular with the locals. The freshly caught crab was delicious, although the salad was a bit unimaginative. Service was prompt and cheerful.

We were staying in Brixham for the week and decided to try the Blue Anchor one evening. The staff were very welcoming and the pub was Covid secure. A really nice place with lots of character. The menu was very good with a wide range of options. It was table service and Tom looked after us very well. Our drinks order was dealt with very promptly and we were not rushed into ordering our food until we were ready. We were all very pleased with our food when it arrived and the friendliness and professionalism of the staff added to a really nice evening. We would definitely recommend the Blue Anchor.

We visited this place on a day trip from Torquay,It is a small restaurant very quaint. The service was prompt and staff were friendly. As it was lunchtime we ordered the steak and onion baguette and the ham salad sandwich with chips. The food was fresh and tasty. We would definitely recommend for a bite to eat.

Popped in for a drink and stayed to eatOther half had John Dory and i had plaiceThe meal was lovely only problem was i didn't have room for dessert (and they looked lovely)Will have to go back another timeFriendly staff as well

Great pub right by the harbour. Very friendly and welcoming. All Covid guidelines adhered to. Table service with a smile. Definitely recommend.

This is the second time we have been to the pub when in the area. It may not be the quickest service but the food was good and excellent value for money. Will certainly be back when next in the area.

Dropped in here for lunch on a short visit on a very hot day. What I would describe as an old fashioned friendly local - nothing extraordinary but welcoming. Covid rules pretty well enforced with screens which is good but cramps the space a bit but this is the new normal and at least it keeps tables in operation,Beer good and our crab sandwiches Ok but a bit too much brown meat. Just the sort of pub you expect to find by the harbour!

Visited this pub 17.9.20. Great little pub. Friendly bar staff.Good selection of beers and ciders as well as Old Rosie Cider also available. Stopped for food on the lunchtime had steak and onion sandwich with salad, very tasty and well priced. Pub also does fresh caught fish, crab mealsRecommend

So glad we found this place staff so friendly very welcoming Food top notch Fish dish so fresh we'll done

Wow. So pleased we found this little pub. Lovely ambience in this 16thc pub and great staff. The food was great value. I had a crab baguette which was loaded with crab and was only £7.50. When I went to a pub in Paignton the following day they were charging £15 for the same thing!! 2 of us had cod goujons in a basket - these were 2 basket meals for £10. The cod was freshly battered and absolutely delicious. We highly recommend this pub and would definitely go back if we were in the area again.

Mediocre meal of Gammon steak, chips, peas, onion rings and egg.The staff were friendly, a fairly fast service but the meal was only average, chips were frozen and pretty bland, the food will keep you alive as I call it, i would not go again for a meal, drink yes maybe if we visit Brixham again sometime......................................

Whilst visiting Brixham we came across the Blue Anchor and were so glad we popped in for a quick pint or two, the beer was amazing, the service exceptional and we really wih we had stayed for the food which looked great.Lovely warm welcome from the guys here and we can't recommend enough, only wish we could have stayed longer.Did get quite busy and people were being turned away due to current restrictions, would suggest booking if they accept bookings

Me and my husband went into the Blue Anchor yesterday afternoon for a drink and some lunch, Drinks are a reasonable price and our lunch of 2 scampi and chips basket meals was really good value for money and tasty. We enjoyed it so much we asked the manager if we could book a table for the evening and he said that they don't usually take bookings but as we had been in for lunch he would reserve us a table. We went back in the evening and had our evening meal and drinks and stayed for the night, we both had pie and mash which again we really enjoyed. All the staff were so friendly, it's very covid safe and we were made very welcome. We visit Brixham a couple of times a year but we have never been in the Blue Anchor before but this won't be our last visit. A fab pub with fantastic staff, give it a try you won't be disappointed.

Great atmosphere and food and drinks . A proper locals pub who eat here too. Top marks. Fun and laughter xxx

We visit here on a regular basis, food always exceptional. The staff are always friendly and your always made to feel welcome. Kev and the staff are brilliant hosts

We ate here last year and were disappointed but starving last night and thought we would try again. Ordered nachos as starter to share, well doritos with but of dairy lea and some dips!!! Seriously awful. Waiter said special was scallops with bacon, served with new potatoes and salad. What I got was awful scallops, overcooked bacon, greasy frozen chips and frozen peas. Partner had fresh cod from Iceland avoid like the plague as disgusting waste of money. We left most of it. Much better venues to enjoy in brixham

I've been to the Blue Anchor on 3 or 4 occasions and always really enjoyed it. Friendly atmosphere, quaint little harbour-side pub.Normally we stop and have a meal and these have always been good quality, although sometimes service can be on the slower side. A great place for a family meal or a quick tipple.

Public health warning! No Covid measures in place and dirty. vile blond womanServing! very rude, spoke to people in a disgusting manner. Later heard her swearing and slagging off customers, you would think in the times we are in, they would be grateful of tourists. Not this place if your not a local forget it. Will never ever step foot in that dump again.

Me and my boyfriend visited Brixham and found this wonderful, friendly pub. This pub is so nicely decorated inside, and has a lot of character. The bar staff are so friendly, and make you feel at home. The pub has clear measures in place for meeting the current COVID-19 guidelines, signing in upon entry for track and trace etc. Screens in between tables, and plenty of handsanitizers. Would definitely recommend this pub to anyone!

From the moment we walked in we were greeted with a warm welcome and made us laugh within a few minutes, just what we were looking for. Scrumptious home made Steak and Ale Pie. Top marks for our wa

A most pleasant welcome awaits from the landlord & his staff,good home cooked food good atmosphere in relaxed surroundings. Dog friendly and all are welcome

We used this pub a great deal during our stay. It’s a proper pub with great ales and a real character of a landlord. Kev and his team made us feel really welcome and the beer was spot on. We did eat here and it’s good food. Not a big menu but it’s not really a food pub.Great location overlooking the harbour

we decided to have a last minute Sunday lunch in Brixham today before the lockdown of the elderly! We first tried The Prince William but it was absolutely packed with an half hour wait for a table! We looked at a few more options, one not enough social distancing space, another £15 for a roast, one the glass door too marked with dirty finger marks so we went into The Blue Anchor. We were able to achieve our social distancing target in their dog free zone and enjoy an excellent value for money traditional Sunday Roast. Wow, succulent and generous portions of beef and pork, Yorkshire's on both although I wasn't expecting it with my pork but enjoyed it very much and it included a stuffing ball. All the vegetables were freshly cooked. We had some served on the plate and then an extra dish filled with more! Delicious gravy, and perfect roast potatoes. My Mother had enough left over (which they kindly packed up for her) to last her for the next week! But seriously there was loads. I highly recommend this pub for it's Sunday Lunch.

A well recommended venue with excellent friendly staff and exceptional landlord who as a team make everyone feel welcome in a safe and friendly establishment serving traditional home cooked foods and great live music.Nothing is ever too much trouble.

I would never go here again. I haven’t been for about 12 months, last time it was for a drink with friends and it was busy with a friendly atmosphere. This time we came for dinner with two teenage children and it was awful. We walked in to a place filled with only men, who all looked and sounded beyond drunk. The landlord was the worst out of the lot and came over to our table and slurred some off colour joke about homosexuals and staggered on. We had already ordered so sat for our food which was straight from a freezer packet into a microwave and was inedible. An awful night, in a place filled with drunken & disrespectful men and a landlord from hell. I won’t be recommending this place to our guests ever again. Badly done Blue Anchor.

I love the atmosphere in the blue anchor. I have been a regular in this pub for at least 5 years. Lately over the last year a clique has developed . It seems that some privileged people have a bottle behind the bar that is not for sale to anyone else. Special gins and brandy’s that are displayed and not for sale. Is this a pub or a private club?I thought it was a pub but the landlord has become over confident and turns away business. Hey ho we still have the pub. But what is for sale and what is by special arrangement?

Didn’t Eat in here but had a drink most evenings, nice and cosy when the fire was lit and great 80s music

Was looking for somewhere to eat tonight and really fancied some good pub grub. We stumbled across the Blue Anchor by chance and to be honest even walked past it at first but decided to give it a try.The food was fab and just what was needed!Not the quickest of service BUT the food more than made up for that and to be honest you have to question when the food comes out too quickly.Would definitely visit again.

Was sitting and drinking my pint which was overpriced and flat, when the landlord of the establishment came to the bar hurling abuse at an elderly lady, I was flabbergasted, then a person she was with went up to the bar and politely ask for his money back on a drink she had been given, the landlord gave the money to the gentleman but got rather Curt with him, to which the gentleman said don't get arsy with me and then they left, I shall not be going back in there as the beer was not very good at all and the hostelry lacked atmosphere.the landlord lacked professionalism very rude and aggressive

Always like to pop in here when in Brixham. The Jail Ale is always tip top!! And rugby was on as an added bonus. This pub gets lots of visitors because it is also dog friendly. Deffo worth a visit !

Nice little pub with great beer and food. Friendly staff with great beer! I loved the atmosphere & feel of this place.

Nice genuine pub. Good food , friendly staff and some where to meet and talk with locals and fellow tourists. Very dog friendly all the staff loved our Wolfy boy and we felt very welcome.Musics evenings are great, small and cosy, people dancing, haven’t experienced this sort of atmosphere since a stay in Ennis in Ireland. Thanks to the landlord who was always helpful and Jesse who looked after us

We enjoyed a pleasant lunch here. The service was a bit slow but the food was hot and tasty when it arrived. The staff were friendly. As mentioned elsewhere, very much a local pub which is a good thing.

Great live music playing. Stinking atmosphere on a Sunday night and great bar selection. Slightly away from the main high street so fractionally fewer tourists and more locals.

Good real ale, food and hospitable staff.. It’s fairly obviously very much a local pub and the locals too were very friendly. Recommended.

We went here for lunch following a 5 mile walk along the cliffs. There was limited seating available as the pub is clearly very popular, but the boss sorted us out pretty quickly and we had a few drinks before our basket lunches. The food was excellent for bar-snack fare and we plan to go back to try the full menu. The staff were attentive and pleasant too, with the female staff bringing our dog a few biscuits and then keeping him occupied while we settled into eating our lunch. The Real Aled was also excellent, which is a sure sign that care is being taken.

I don't know why I am writing this. Super pub with great pub grub, lovely staff but I don't want you to go there it is busy enough, I want to able to get in. Been here four times this month and its been good every time.

Only had drinks in the Blue Anchor as it's a very busy pub. The menu looks good which is probably why so many people visit. Staff were good and always happy.

I Popped Into This Lovely Little Pub On Sunday 25th August I Had A Couple Pints & Aa Crab Sandwich It Was The Least Expensive Drink It Is A Real Gem Atmosphere Is Fab I Will Return

We stopped here for lunch on a day out with our parents, so glad we did. A proper pub with great food! Staff and customers very friendly, good selection of drinks, great recommendation from staff for a cider! Menu is a mixture of full meals and basket meals, good value all round. Loved the atmosphere in here and will certainly be back.

First day of our visit to Brixham we decided to pop in here for tea. We weren't disappointed. Friendly staff & customers. Great beer and food - all just off the quay side. Good prices too for tasty, hot and home cooked food. Weren't sure from outside but glad we went inside! Mind your head, though!

The most friendly place to eat with teenagers and a dog. We stopped for lunch/drinks during the school holidays, it’s a very quaint little pub, great for a pub lunch with friendly staff. They are so accommodating with dogs and even have a box of ‘doggie snacks’ behind the bar that the staff feed to your four legged family members. If it’s a fuss free lunch you’re after then this is the place.

What more could you want. Cracking selection of beers and good food at prices that makes a tight fisted Lancastrian like me very happy. Great company and great times. Proper Pub.

Just off the quay side. Its been here a long time and every inch says so. It became our local for the week. Friendly staff, chatty locals, in fact this is very much a local and has an atmosphere to match. Not the biggest selection of beers but adequate. Always managed to get a table. Reasonable prices. I think its what you want in a Devon harbourside pub. A fellow guest at our hotel ate in here every night so on his recommendation I ticked the box.

Stayed right next door to this Olde Pub and once we walked in fell in Love with the History of the place,has a top vibe..great beers..Lovely Sunday dinner with homemade Roasters,Yorkshire’s and all the trimmings...in the week tried the Scampi,Lasagne,Hunters Chicken and the Salmon..all cooked to perfection...dog friendly , lots of locals and top staff...could here the singing from our place next door and loved it...will definitely be back again!

Only one at the bar in a not busy pub and the barmaid tried to short change me unsure it wasn’t deliberate!

We visited here twice while staying in Brixham, once for drinks and once for food and drinks.

We always visit The Anchor when staying in Brixham, it has a great atmosphere, friendly staff and entertaining live music. Well worth a visit.

Didn't eat here but was a good place for a drink or 2 before retiring to bed. Lots of friendly customers to chat to and both dogs were welcome. Seemed a bit livelier than other pubs at this time of night 10pm.
