Great food and service by lizzie

Decided to go out for dinner and we popped into the Crown and Anchor. We had a lovely welcome by "Spike" . The food was delicious. I had the chicken tikka masala, 😋. My wife had the lasagne with garlic bread which was also delicious. Would definitely recommend this pub to anyone.

Needed somewhere quick to grab a bite to eat with my daughter. We found a table and ordered our meals at the bar. Although busy, we were greeted by a friendly and helpful fella, who served us quickly but professionally. (I didn't get his name, but his spikey hair defined him!) Our food was served in good time, it was hot and decent in size. Would definitely return.

Rude staff .. incompetent wasn't polite when asked what soft drinks was available.. sauces misses of the burgers no table check .. wouldn't accept the blue light card even when asked if they accepted told yes but wouldn't accept as already items places on the till .. loud rude customer I asked management to ask her to quite down and was ignored

Family gathering, meals were lovely.

It's a big pub with not a lot of character due to it being part of a chain, however the beer is kept well and they do have a Monday special day where most of the selection off the pulls are a lot cheaper than normal. The app is a nice touch and allows you to order from table side or scan at the bar for free stuff. The food is reasonable for the cost, The staff that work here are friendly and helpful, but as with most big pubs there is never enough staff to cater to the number of customers.

Fab food fish is lovely had 11 meals in our group food was great thank you for a great time

Nice place not bad food at all apart from paying extra for the steak only to get more FAT. Overall will go again .

Management n barstaff all ways helpful 100% wife had fish n chips i had mega mixed grill food 1000%

Staff are friendly and polite. Great service and delicious food.

Just bostin !!!! Family pub amazing food.

Great hospitality and lovely friendly staff. Brilliant food at a fantastic price

Had double fish with chips and mushy peas. Well where can I start, service OK great atmosphere in the Crown&Anchor, staff great, didn't know what fish it was though TBH MAYBE POLLOCK Which I don't like, so that's why my my stars are down. Cod deffo or haddock would be 5 star.but definitely not Cod or haddock nice batter though on the ends, otherwise too thick, and the batter wasn't cooked in the middle parts.

Staff got some good manners Rocked up got my pint was very pints had the right colour Food was cooked and consumed Pudding was good chocolate cake tasted like chocolate was very surprised

Made an impromptu visit today 13/08/24 granddaughter was hungry. Found a table no problem. Bar service was very good and knowledge of the bar staff on food was brilliant. We didn't wait to long for our food and when it arrived it was delicious.My granddaughter who is 6 had the all day breakfast and my goodness what a bargain. Well done to I think it was Andrea on bar and Spike in kitchen.

I found there was no soap in the gents loos on one occasion. I mentioned this but was told by a staff member it would be refilled the next day. It's vital to have soap at All times to prevent the spread of bugs. Especially in a restaurant. Hand washing is esential especially with Covid on the rise. Disappointed with the reply about no soap by member of staff. Not really good enough. Good food usually good. Service is fairly quick. Reward system is good and the vouchers

Place looked like it hasn't been cleaned in a while, saw some dead flies on the window sill, bartender charged me for 2cocktails when I asked for the 2for1 special. Then other staff chimed in after I queried this and both gave different stories. Was quite off putting. Waiyed a while for food, but the Fish was delicious... that's about it. Not sure if I'd go back :/

The food was great and absolutely delicious. Probably cooked. I came here 5 years ago, it was the first time I think it's just the way I wanted to go out for lunch in a day and tea in a night. Maybe even occasionally I celebrate birthdays, anniversaries, leavers, wake receptions and more. Including live music.

I ordered a steak, which was cooked correctly, however the meat was mostly consisted of fat and rather chewy. The service was good.

Quite pub staff are like where’s Wally Beer nothing to rave about

Nice food good service good prices,what more do you want, parking bit rubbish

Came to this pub for food, service was excellent. There was a lady Angela running the floor who made us feel really welcome, and made sure that we had a clean space to eat despite how busy the pub was. I would eat here again, service was friendly and professional particularly by the lady on the floor (Angela)

Just popped in for one beer. Good normal boozer.

Came here for a family birthday meal. Lovely tasty food came out nice and hot. Staff managed well considering pub was very busy.

Always use this pub, whether its just for casual drinks or going out for a meal. Staff and management are absolutely lovely, good selection of food and drinks, cocktails are beautiful.

Lovely atmosphere, brilliant food ,

Angela and team were lovely! Food fab and wonderful blk country atmosphere! Xx

Most money hungry place ever. Charge different prices depending on the person, especially the tiny small man owner who will charge extra especially. Why are you charging £7.5 entry to a rubbish country pub? Also wont take card for entry (suspicious if you ask me 😉

Great hospitality by the management and their team. Me and family have some lovely hunter's nachos. Great value and price we certainly will come back again

Horrible place to come staff not friendly very blunt terrible parking NOT IMPRESSED AT ALL DONT COME HERE

Food great and very reasonably priced

Staff very friendly first class service can't do enough for you just keep up the good work 👍

Had Silver Buffet food for 25 people. Food was really good and plenty of it too. Thanks everyone 👍🏻

How this place has an over 4* rating is absolutely beyond my understanding. Food was bland and totally lacking any flavour or seasoning. Tried adding salt to enhance flavour, but with the food lacking any flavour, it really didn't help at all. Best part about it was the Pepsi instead of Pepsi Max I ordered. 0/10 would avoid at all costs.

Clean place and courteous staff and best service. Separate dining area if preferred. Pool table facility. Parking spaces all around the pub. It's a sizzler pub and menu is quite delicious. If around that area give it a go. Advance table booking is available. Today there was a small gathering after the funeral which was booked. Today had most delicious lunch there. Still the best. Albion home match quite busy, still the best pub. Order a takeaway and have it delivered, pay a visit and enjoy a warm welcome. It was Sunday lunch time beautiful Sunday lunch with all the trimmings. Best thing it was full.

Pleasant friendly establishment, staff are friendly and helpful , nice pub .

Language in the bar was appalling with my 2 small children unacceptable

food was great , and service was excellent

I went with my friend .we had a delicious meal the staff were wonderful & friendly.will definitely be going back soon.a very good choice of dishes.

Food was tasty and good service from the staff

Had an amazing time with family, the food was great the staff were friendly and the manager was great she really helped us with ordering food as there was a couple of fussy eaters in our family. Thank you for a lovely time can't wait to go back!

What a dump! Needs doing up! Cheap drinks!

Beautiful food and staff I'm going again

Visiting from out of town made the mistake of passing by this pub for a meal before our long journey home. The food very poor. Ordered the fish and chips with a cappuccino. Cappuccino disgusting asked for an Americano instead, just as bad. The fish was barely warm in the middle. Chips were hard. The grilled chicken on the salad was burnt. The girl serving looked bitter and cold. Total attitude and thats before i ordered. Won't be stopping by again.

Genuinely best food not just in local area. The special chicken burger was incredible Salmon was divine Compliments to a chef

Lovely pub great food great atmosphere would recommend it we've been twice both dishes I had were tasty & delicious 😋

Ordered gyros style chicken wrap. Was served cold with literally few crumbs of chicken. Less than a once of chicken, 3 slices of tomato and some lettuce for £6,29.

Great little pub. Great food and friendly staff

Amazing food amazing staff good prices what more can you ask for spot on

Took my daughter for lunch. Very friendly staff, tasty food good value. Very clean as well. Impressive and we will definitely go back!

Took someone for lunch food very good good portion value for money.staff friendl always ask if you have any allergies

My partner and I came here for a meal and we thoroughly enjoyed it. We arrived and got seated, drinks order taken. Then a few moments later our food order was taken. Within 10 mins the food arrived, piping hot, perfectly cooked, and the waiting staff were excellent. We would defo come here again if in the area (we are from Exeter).

Really good food, service was great and the atmosphere for the time we got here was lively and friendly.

Friendly & polite helpful staff. Excellent price! Extensive menu. Quality pub food! The fish was outstanding! Highly recommended and shall revisit soon! Large portion from 2 for £11 meal. Thank you! 🙏🏼

The food was great & fantastic value for money.

Hannah was lovely when we were having trouble with out vouchers. She’s lovely and deserves recognition for it x

Food took a while to come out, rare steak came out well done but waitress Ang was amazing

Friendly staff and excellent food

Been here today for food again with my partner cant fault the place we never have a bad experience here.The mixed grills were absolutely delicious and presented well . We found out they were cooked by Gareth.Top chef !! Cooked to perfection , The bar staff liz and Andrea are lovely too, always friendly and helpful and willing to go the extra mile. I would highly recommend this pub for eating or drinking . Great atmosphere.well done guys !!

Wrap yourself up no heating on.overpriced beer.still a dump.

I would totally recommend the Crown and Anchor for food and a fun atmosphere at the weekend. It was happy hour until 11pm too which was a bonus. The staff were so attentive and really friendly. We will definitely be coming back next year for our works party.

Great food great atmosphere. Friendly staff

Pleasant staff interaction with customers... Only bad point is not checking orders when done on app ... Meals were served but drinks missing had to ask for them

A sizzling chain pub and eatery. Ideal for a great night out with friends or just a meal with the family. You can join their club and get great offers via email including half price meals and drinks. I get offers by email every month. Update a glass of dry white wine from £6 upwards. It's cheaper to buy a bottle at Tesco

Nice pub food looked lovely definitely ordering some next time

Friendly staff and good food reasonably priced

Went there Saturday 4th November family of six , just like to say service was fantastic really nice people , also food absolutely gorgeous , definitely recommend family / friends. also come again .

Drinks were a good price and the £5.00 off voucher was very welcome when used for the food order. The food was good and plentiful, however the seating was not the most comfortable our table was between a pillar and the kids vending machines which made people coming past us awkward and a bit off putting.

I tryed the Sizzling salmon ,it was ok my husband had steak.Maybe try the 2 meals for £10.99 next time.

Went for a mystic reading with friends. Great night. Ordered food and drinks while waiting. Meal was excellent. Big portions. Booking essential for these events.

All of our steaks were mostly fat and inedable

Booked for a wake. Couldn't have been easier and staff were really helpful. Good prices.

Unfortunately not a good first experience for delivery. Decided to have food delivered and give it a try. My 2 burgers came without chips which I paid for. Rang up the pub and was told there's nothing they can do unless I go there to collect my chips. I don't drive but its 5 mins in the car so surely someone could have dropped them off for me. Left feeling hungry with half a meal and down 31 pound for 2 burgers and some salad. I emailed just eat but will take 3-5 working days to respond. Unfortunately I won't bother ordering for delivery again

Really could do with a refurb in the toilets, think about Wetherspoon toilets and use that as a template

Thank you for setting up our family get together. The buffet was lovely the staff were fantastic, thanks Angela as usual you did a cracking job. Would recommend this pub for buffet n private party setups 👍👌

First time visiting this pub. The sea bass was absolutely superb and beautifully presented. My wife had the chicken curry which was also delicious. The homemade chocolate brownie with custard was a nice treat. The staff were friendly, and overall we really enjoyed our visit. Will definitely come back here when visiting Stone.

The bar staff were pleasant, polite and helpful. The meal came promptly, it was hot well presented and delicious, the waitress was polite and checked if everything was ok with our meal.

Andrea and Freddy were so helpful and friendly. The food was superb we will be going back

Great little local pub, nice pint

Friendly staff, lovely atmosphere, and good food

I visited as a party of 16 people to celebrate my mom's 60th birthday. The booking was easy to make, the service was amazing. Sarah and Mark did a fantastic job, and the food was bought out all at once and it was all hot and delicious. We would definitely recommend the Crown and Anchor and we will certainly return.

Nice place for a pint and something to eat

I can came for my moms wake and the staff worked damn hard to help us enjoy the afternoon without added stress to an already emotional day. Food was an absolute beautiful

Can't comment on the food as I only came here for a lunchtime pint. Was disappointing that the ale pumps weren't on so had to opt for a Guinness. The staff were really friendly and nice though, and the place is huge with a decent sized beer garden. Later found out this place used to be the Jinglers which I've heard a lot of people talk about back in the day.

Food was terrible. It was cold, over cooked and dry

Just going out for a drink and a dance with friends, a group of young people trying to cause trouble all night, making comments, tipping drinks and the bouncers watched and did nothing. Got my bag stolen and the manager has not called back to check the cctv! Will not be going again and wouldn’t advise if your after a trouble free night!

Seemed OK. Only popped I for a pre-show drink.

Angela always gives us amazing service with a smile on her face, making us feel very welcome each time :)

Friendly staff and cold refreshing beer!

Staff were friendly. Food was good. We had a slight issue which was delt with straight away with no fuss.

I ate at the pub along with my husband and our 2 friends. This was Saturday 29th April. I had the old timer burger, my husband and friends had the steak, 1 with prawns, 1 with scampi and 1 with ribs. All meals were bought out timely, together, hot and they all tasted delicious. The steaks were cooked exactly how they were asked to be cooked. The meals were very good sized too. My friend had the banoffee cheesecake for pudding. It was really tasty. The staff were lovely and the service was impeccable. It's the first time we have eaten at the pub and definitely won't be the last. We will be recommending it to others. Many compliments to the chef.

We visited stone last weekend and decided to go into the crown and anchor for a drink. From the outside it looked well presented with a lovely thatch roof however green sick on the pavement outside. Inside was a completely different story. The floor was absolutely filthy and sticky, tables were sticky and dirty. Toilets were filthy, water everywhere, urine on the toilet seats, toilet roll on the floor, I felt like I needed to wash my hands after coming out! When we went in we were one of about 4 couples inside. Shortly after arriving a large group of people who were very intoxicated, shouting, singing and swearing came into the pub. They were very intimidating and made us feel uncomfortable. At no point did management or staff ask them to quieten down, we drank up and left. I certainly won’t be visiting again going off what they think is acceptable behaviour for its customers. Management/staff are cle

Went there for a school reunion and the venue was good for this , I gave the public house a 4 star because it didn't have any real ale on pull, I think it's a larger drinkers pub . This is not a public house that I use because of no ales on pull . However as a venue it worked .

My first time here wont be my last fantastic staff beautiful food

Lovely food, great service and wonderful atmosphere
