Sehr urig, sehr gemütlich und extrem lecker! Darüber hinaus, sehr einladend draußen gegenüber auf der Mauer ein Bier zu trinken. An einem Sommerabend ist draußen fast mehr los als drinnen. Das Lokal ist knapp 500 Jahre alt. Eine wunderbare Auswahl an Meeresfrüchten und lokalen Leckereien aus dem Meer.

Stopped for lunch on a Friday lunchtime and enjoyed ploughman's, mussels and scallops dishes. All excellent and using local products. We cycled there but for large car owners, be aware that the car park is 'cosy'.

Booked a table whilst on our holiday nearby - pub looked busy and popular and had good reviews. Decided to give it a try and glad we did. Had a delicious meal of fish and chips - good food, good staff and nice atmosphere.

Was recommended this place by a work mate. An hours drive, but well worth it. Good old fashion coastal pub overlooking a small harbour. Friendly staff, good menu choices and some great shell fish offerings. Reasonably priced and a great sharing platter, shelly sharer. Might be worth booking, though they managed to find us a table for Saturday lunch. We shall return for sure.

Lovely pub /restaurant. Cosy atmosphere right by the harbour on the estuary. Service was great. Had the seafood shared for four and it was to die for! Will definitely be back as there are other delicious sounding things we’d like to try out.

All in all, a good experience good food, prompt service, wine reasonable. I had a nice gammon steak and the other half had a seafood ploughman's lunch, said it was amazing! The only thing lacking was some sunshine which would have gone down well with all of us sitting outside on the terrace. Overlooking Cockwood harbour the pub boasts an enviable location, the narrow road outside provides some entertainment watching cars braking hard to avoid others on the narrow bend.

Stunning location, especially on a sunny day. Starter of mussels was delicious. Mains of roast turkey, sea bass and monkfish also very good. What let all the meals down was the veg. It seemed to have been over boiled then microwaved. Disappointing.

Firstly they let a trainee serve us without any support which was unfair. Not her fault. The food arrived and 3 crab dishes were substituted for smoked salmon without asking! Apparently they never had crab anyway. Then the quality of the food was poor. Mussels were overdone with bland sauce. The chips were ok. Then they brought another tables bill. A complete shambles from start to finish.

Wonderful old pub, fantastic fish and seafood, extensive menu. Staff were fabulous, one of us was served the wrong fish dish, we didn't report it as we didn't really mind because everything was delicious, but the staff actually came to us and insisted on bringing us a huge portion of the correct fish at no charge. Great customer service. We'll be back.

The lovely small village of Cockwood boasts two great pubs. Unfortunately due to structural damage the Ship Inn at Cockwood is closed and is currently under repair. Yesterday I visited the Anchor Inn for the first time with my wife. It was a lovely afternoon and we were able to sit outside. The Anchor has a reputation for providing customers with top class seafood. As soon as you enter the pub your nostrils are assaulted with the aroma of a cocktail of different fish & shellfish recipes being prepared for the waiting customers. The pub had a lovely atmosphere & the bar staff were helpful and friendly. The beer was good and reasonably priced.

Classic country pub which preserves its historic building. Its location overlooks a small inlet, and the outdoor seating often extends informally to the wall the other side of the narrow road. The range of drinks and the attentiveness of the service are good, but what really stands out here is the quality of the food. The menu is, unsurprisingly for its location, heavily seafood biased, and the quality of the ingredients and dishes is clear. The car park is very snug for modern cars, though there is on street parking a little walk away.

A traditional old pub with the sagging oak beams, log burners and, wonder of wonders, not just one “snug” but two! More nooks and crannies than you can shake a stick at, and outside seating overlooking the quaint harbour. Ideal spot to sit and read my book “Professor Harry Parker and the Tunnels of Argonaut Bay” by Steve Pick available on Amazon! A light hearted Victorian romp centered around the creation of the Tunnels Beaches at Ilfracombe in North Devon! .

Situated a short walk from Cofton Holiday Park. The Anchor inn has a nautical team through out. My wife and I were çelibrating with our motorhoming clubs Christmas rally.Very good menu with very efficient and friendly service. Portions of the main course were m more. than ample and to a very high level in quality and presentation as indeed were starter and desert. Fixed price for the club was very reasonable at £27.50 per head.Bar had good selection of beer and wine at reasonable price,. No hesitation in recommending the inn. In fact as an ex member of the Royal Navy I felt quite at home.

Wir kamen, ohne einen Tisch gebucht zu haben, abends kurz nach 19 Uhr. Das Personal war überaus freundlich und gab uns Zweien einen Dreiertisch am Kamin, der wegen der spätsommerlichen Temperaturen nicht an war. Wir hatten ein lokal gebrautes Bier und Holunderlimonade, sowie als Vorspeise die gebratenen Königsgarnelen auf Brot und als Hauptgericht einmal den Fisch- und Meeresfrüchte-Topf mit krossem Brötchen und ganze Königskrabbenschwänze mit Erbsen und Pommes. Das Ambiente ist sehr schön, ein uriger Pub mit niedrigen Decken, so wie man ihn sich vorstellt. Das Essen war qualitativ sehr gut und vom Preis nicht überteuert. Wir können das Anchor Inn durchaus weiterempfehlen. Am 24. November 2023 gibt es alles außer dem Weihnachts-Menue mit 25% Rabatt. Das Weihnachts-Menue hört sich sehr gut an und kann bis in den Januar hinein bestellt werden. Wish we were there!

This is a lovely and spacious inn with very impressive gardens overlooking the river and with numerous seating with tables which we were able to enjoy after our meal.
