AVOID this was absolutely the worst experience we have had..... ever !! Food - totally in edible! not that there was much in the counter and no gravy!! No utensils to get food, he used his hands to throw the cold yorkshire puddings in a tray Service - what service !? No explanation offered Restaurant - Tables were sticky Cook/ Owner ?? (definitely not a chef!) the rudest, offensive man, no manners and very angry about something!! Have you even worked in hospitality before??? We demanded our money back and left! We will never ever step foot in the place again, perhaps this is why the place had very few customers!?

We were very pleased with our meal. The pub has changed hands and the weekday menu is al a carte. The new management has employed a very good chef and they have made a few changes. We were concerned that their new signage had not arrived and they should have had a banner advertising under new management. We want this pub to succeed, they need to publicise that they are open.

The food was nothing to get excited about. I had wanted steak instead of the carvery (I really don’t like roast dinners!) but despite it being in the menu they didn’t have it. As the menu wasn’t extensive I had no choice but to have the carvery. The beef was okay, the turkey was very nice and moist, the veg and gravy lacked any real taste. Probably won’t go again as there will be similar venues offering similar or better quality of food closer to home.

Thoroughly enjoyed our visit, glad it's reopened. Lovely staff too, very friendly. We all had a carvery and enjoyed it, very tasty, loved the roast spuds and the gammon was nice. We'll definitely return.

This place used to be top notch for food always piping hot very tasty indeed, loads of variety 😋... but now it's still piping hot don't get me wrong but the food is ever so bland even the chips weren't fresh I had scraps what looked like they had been warmed up from the previous day, and the fish was the same also, tasted really dry no taste to it, as though they weren't that bothered about their food anymore, I went bk after my plate was empty thought I'd try something else I tried to rice it was like eating bullets no moisture in the rice at all and the curry sauce was like water, just no taste whatsoever.... so very much doubt it if we're going back again oh and they have the cheek to put their prices up I know and accept there's a cost of living crises atm but you'd still expect quality not quantity ìd prefere quality over quantity 😉 any day of the week!!!

Lovely food as usual, good choice of dishes, all fresh and well cooked. Minted lamb dish very tasty. Only gripe was being sat on the smallest table for four people I have ever seen, made eating uncomfortable and the back room is not the nicest place to sit, cramped one small window and very hot. Plenty of nicer tables at the front empty and we had booked well ahead so expected a better spec

Such a delicious meal had with me and hubby. I had roast beef and hubby had pork both of which were succulent and quality meats. The accompaniments were varied and many of them from traditional Yorkshire puds to tarragon mushrooms, sweet chilli parsnips and sprouts in pepper sauce. Would definitely recommend a Sunday lunch here

Came with my elderly mum and two daughters to celebrate her 30th birthday. I ordered drinks 1st and the lady behind the bar was very miserable, not friendly or welcoming at all. We sat down and had all been given knife and forks. We were not told to help our selves or anything so we proceeded to get up and get some food. My daughter sat down and noticed a hair in the food so she put it to one side with her knife and fork and quietly went to the same lady at the bar and requested another knife and fork. The lady asked “Why do you want another knife and fork?” My daughter tried to be diplomatic as other customers were at the bar and did not want to advertise the Hair in the food. The lady continued to question my daughter it was very embarrassing so my daughter had to explain why she needed a new knife and fork so my daughter had no choice but to tell her. We all felt very uncomfortable and this ruined are afternoon lunch and my daughters birthday meal. The hair put us all off and the staff let are dirty plates pile up when they should of removed each plate once empty. The food was not as good as it used to be apart from the lasagna which was nice. We also felt like we were being watched to see how many times we up for food. Very ignorant bar lady with a terrible attitude and no customer service skills at all. We will never be going there again after going for many years. VERY VERY DISAPPOINTED

Having phoned and booked a table myself and my husband arrived to be told there is only one table elft so you'll have to have that... I explained we had a booking and that someone was on that table she referenced. To which she looked over and said someone is going to sit here can you move? Great start!I then went to order two Pepsi max. They had ran out. So I could have diet Pepsi. Fine no problem. She then went to pick up a 2litre bottle which could have been purchased at a supermarket and poured two drinks and charged pub prices. What's that about? I've never been to a pub that uses shop bought drinks. The food was OK. There was a great selection of foods. However unlike the usual carvery they were mostly cooked in a sauce and were not the usual meat and veg. Which is a problem for me and my dietary requirements but what I had was nice. My husband did enjoy his.Whilst we were eating our meal a nearby table were told to vacate as someone else needed it. To which they requested a couple of chairs so that a sleeping child and an elderly could sit down. They were told there are none... Erm half the pub was empty. They were equally as unimpressed as we were. I realise this sounds abit snobby but unless you witness the rudeness and dingy surroundings you won't believe it. It was aweful. I will never go there again. A total waste of money. I don't expect great things from a carvery meal having been to all the usual chains in the past but abit of customer service would be nice.

Visited today, having been numerous times in the past but will definitely not be going again. £2.70 for a glass of shop bought coke which was completely flat was the first thing we noticed, extortionate to say the least. £2.50 for a baby bowl, again extortionate considering our baby fell asleep before he even ate his dinner. The food was of usual high standard apart from the gammon. The gammon I was served was 2 big lumps of nothing but pure fat, others having tough meat, unable to cut and very dry. When I complained, the waitress said she would mention it, but nobody came to give me any feedback let alone acknowledge it.. Our plates were cleared, never were asked if everything was okay and then we asked for the sweet menu. The answer that came back was "its on the board", even though that's not where you get your dessert from. Surely the waitress could have just given us an indication of what was available rather than us all having to stand up and walk across the restaurant just to find out. Our table was booked only until 3pm and despite the fact that we were still eating our deserts at 3pm, were told the next party had arrived but we could wait in the bar area. We had a baby with us, who had actually fallen asleep in his highchair so this was quite difficult, however we found a chair and were waiting for our lift to arrive. The next thing, the waitress told us that she needed the chair that I was sat on despite there being plenty of spare chairs around the restaurant not being used. The staff really are the rudest bunch of people, I have ever come across in the hospitality industry. From going in we were not even greeted with a hello to leaving, we were treated like we were an inconvenience. They were quick to take our money but ever quicker to try and get rid of us. The can't be bothered attitude of all the staff we encountered was very noticeable and it is completely inappropriate and ignorant for staff to then stand together and clearly talk about us! Good manners do not cost a penny and running a business which caters to the general public, surely this should be the main priority before anything else.We certainly shall not be returning to be treated in such a way again.

Well the Blue Anchor has become my new favourite eating establishment. For £5.99 you have a all you can eat english style buffet and I have to say the food it top notch. The staff are very friendly and there is plenty of parking.

Hi, this has got to be my favourite place for food, there is such a variety including salad for starters and a choice of hot food on the main. It's very reasonable in price as well, they do a great breakfast once a week on a Saturday morning . It is best if you book this place as it is very popular

This is a fantastic place to take the 14 yr old fussy eater Grandson, as it has an endless choice of food - even he isnt stuck for choice! Its plentiful and hot, never got room for desserts. Keep it up the place is spotless and the staff friendly and helpful. Excellent value for money. Definitely will be coming back

What a shame. Booked a table for 2 for Sunday lunch, stood at the bar for 10 minutes trying to get someone’s attention to tell them we had arrived. Got fed up of waiting and went somewhere else. The food might be good but if you can’t even get to sit at the table you’ve booked there’s really little point going.

I thought I was getting a panini or wrap as I had never been here. So so good. Sourdough sandwich with side salad and the "proper" chips. Food heaven!!

Thursday evening three of us attended Haighton Manor. As usual, the food, ambiance, and service were all fantastic. But, this time a special mention to our waitress Maddie. Exceptional service, rapport snd general manner were all 10/10
