The Restaurant at The Anchor Inn in Teignbridge

Went with a couple of friends of mine for a Christmas dinner. We didn’t have an issue with starter or the sweet. The staff were lovely. But can someone tell me why when you choose beef it has to be red in the middle. Then your given a steak knife with a serrated edge to cut it which failed miserably .It makes no sense. You might say I should have complained but why should I upset a waitress when she had nothing to do with it. This very rarely happens when you order a carvery in a pub. Sorry for the rant but at £45 a head I think we deserved better. Would have been a 2 rating had it not been for the good service Bob

Lovely little find .. warm and welcoming Dog friendly restaurant Fire lit on a cold evening, very cosy Food was lovely and prompt service Staff all friendly and attentive

Lovely cosy atmosphere great food , staff couldn't of been nicer, highly recommended this place. We will definitely be going again

Truely amazing food, met with a smile, service with a smile. Great restaurant. Thank you.

Quick, friendly service. Tasty food and a beautiful setting.

The Anchor Inn at Cockwood has just earned one on my rare 5* reviews. The shared Seafood Platter was amazing, lobster, mussels, razor clams, shell-on prawns, green-lipped mussels, cockles, garlic butter, and loads of it! Outstanding food, good service, reasonable price, highly recommended.

A lovely meal early doors (5.10pm) on a Monday, friendly staff and dogs allowed - always extra brownie points!

Nice selection of real ales and Sanford Orchards cider. Nice to sit outside overlooking the harbour and passing trains.

Superb experience all round. Fab location, food and service. Definitely there on my return plan!

What a find this little place was. Really quaint and unique.food, it was fantastic and the staff was attentive and helpful.. All this and an amazing view, what more can you ask.

Beautiful venue, first class service, excellent drinks choice and the food was first class, genuinely one of the best cooked steaks I've had in many years eating out. Well done team, your run a tight ship.

Lovely position on the water. Nice staff. Pub in need of a facelift. Very tired. Seating outside. Inside little hubs. Cosy.

Sunday lunch for 4 adults. Lovely setting, sitting outside in the sun. Fantastic views. All 4 of us really enjoyed the food and talking to the knowledgeable staff. 3 x roast Lamb, 1 x gluten free fish and chips (No chips, broccoli instead) £113 total see below. High recommendation especially for Coeliacs.

Awesome food service staff and range of beer would definitely recommend. The only downside is parking if you are driving but ther is parking just around the corner.

Great food served by friendly helpfull staff. Relaxing atmosphere & a good choice of ales, wines & lagers

We attended for lunch znd was really pleased with our food. So much so we decided to meet some friends there for an evening meal the following night. The food the following evening was very disappointing. The pan-fried chicken was definitely boiled, and had never seen a pan. The mushroom and sauce was watery and had no flavour at all, and the mash tasted like a packet mix. The curry was extremely hot,like it had been heated in a microwave. The curry sauce was again watery and spicy with no underlying flavour. It was really disappointing.

Really friendly place , lovely staff and a load of mussel flavours to choose from. Great sea food.

Very delicious food and good service ! 100% recommendations !💯 💯 💯

We come here every year for the huge seafood platter for two. It’s child friendly dog friendly and well worth a visit.

Superb In Every Detail, Excellent Food,Staff and Location.Seafood Platter Highly Recommended

Great location by Cockwood harbour, and an extensive menu of fish and seafood, including mussels cooked in a variety of sauces.

Visited whilst on holiday in Dawlish Warren as we have quite a few times. Nice pub situated on the sea front.

Gorgeous food, great selection of beers and cider, friendly staff

Mediocre food and poor service. Was told very rudely to move half way through our meal, to allow for a reservation.

Nice traditional pub, only there for the beer but will take my wife for food next time

Stopped for a pint before getting the ferry back to Exmouth

Only called in for a pint but seemed nice enough

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.

Great pub, tasty food, we did enjoy it And the food order took no longer then 20 min to be done🤤

Excellent in many ways. Highly recommended!

The food was faultless at reasonable prices a pub/ restaurant with an atmosphere all of its own

Absolutely amazing pub.. Great staff food was excellent and such a beautiful old pub will definitely be coming back one day

Haven’t been for a few years now, but called in for lunch today and we were not disappointed. Helpful staff, beautiful plump mussels cooked to perfection, and a mighty fine glass of cider. 👍

Great pub. Superb location with lovely views of the harbour. A relaxing place for a drink.

We had the seafood platter and crab sandwich. Both were excellent. Absolutely delicious.

fantastic pub lovely food . 500 year old pub looks fantastic inside a must to see just down from cofton holiday park .

Need a better selection of white wine

A very generous fish and chips overlooking the harbour on a sunny evening. Very friendly staff, reasonably priced and would definitely recommend a visit

nice place great view.didnt eat there though

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.

We popped in for a drink so I can't comment on food but it's a beautiful pub and all the staff seemed lovely too.

Excellent food in an ideallic setting. 5 stars ⭐

Popped in for a drink, lovely pub, friendly staff and menu looks amazing. Will definitely return.

Very nice surprise!! Lovely pub

Relatively expensive drinks at £13.95 for 2 pints of lager. Very nice location looking out to see. Outdoor area with a variety of seating- not just picnic tables but actual chairs which so many pubs forget. Can’t comment on the food although it all looked very nice

disopointed with this place!! was looking faorward to going as recomended , the only posotive was the starter (mussles) very expesive did ont have what was ordered so had to chosses again, little flys all around the window and the irsh coffee was so poor i think it came from america please learn how to make one . over all not a nice restrant very sticky tables and absolutley no atmosfear

Nice place for a drink,,,nice outlook

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.

Nice setting overlooking the small harbour, 400year old pub,cracking service with no issues. Would visit again.

We love coming here for a seafood treat. By far the best in the far surroundings. The sharer platter is the best I've ever had and even incl a whole lobster. The wide selection of different sauces for the mussels is always a hard choice, all as tasty as eachother. Friendly staff and a local pub chilled atmosphere.

Avoid if dairy and gluten free. Very poor food choice. No milk alternatives for coffee even. Expensive with cheap service.

Probably the best roast I've had for a little while! I ordered the roast beef, with a side of cauliflower cheese, and the portions were just right. Homemade yorkshire puddings too! The food was very well presented and service was polite and friendly. Tables and restaurant were clean and the atmosphere great. Definitely recommended! Will be returning to try the monkfish! Prices were very reasonable

Very tasty food: Gumbo and Megrim Sole. We will be back in sunnier weather for seafood platter!

Avoid if your Gluten or Dairy Free! 😞 Poor alternative choices, staff not trained or educated, no separate cooker/ fryer, very disappointed.

Nice old pub. Have been coming there to eat and drink again and again for years.

Very atmospheric pub right by the Harbour. Menu has a good selection without being overwhelming. I had roast beef and it was very good. We were upstairs which does not get a great deal of natural light. Walls covered with dozens of ship and other Service crests. Very interesting if you are into that sort of thing.

Fantastic pub not the cheapest but worth every penny

Seafood platter is amazing definitely recommend 👌

Such a great place for eating, and pub, charming old building, outstanding food and service. I wish I knew it before, we'll be back soon .

No return trip to the area would be complete without a visit. Top beer selection and quality food, especially the local seafood. I had mussels and my wife a steak, both packed with flavour and cooked to perfection

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.

Beautiful old pub full of character, friendly service and excellent food

Me and my partner visted here on our trip to Cofton and we definetly were not disappointed. The food was amazing and 100% worth the price and the staff were nice and friendly. It was overall a lovely time. Would definetly come here again and would recommend people come here 😊

Food is good but not quite worth the 5 stars. starter and main course was delicious. My wife's dessert was microwaved within an inch of its life.

Only called in for a drink (which was a lovely pint of cider). The atmosphere is great - it comes from the age of the place and the views. Pity I was driving as I would have loved to have stayed and sampled the food.

A fantastic old pub with plenty of history. The staff here are very friendly. The cider was especially nice. The views out over the little harbour were lovely. We didn't eat there so I can't comment on food.

Even in the midst of a busy shanty festival the staff were kind, courteous and efficient. The food was delicious and quickly served.

To be honest. This is the best sea food platter I have ever had with good friends. Superb service from Lucy who has an awesome memory for orders. Highly rated. Top tip, do not have breakfast before this amazing lunch.

Great historic pub by the sea. Lovely food

What an incredible pub with food over the Easter bank holiday weekend Recommend booking as on a Sunday evening every table and there’s a lot had a booking and not surprised food is amazing especially the lamb roast. Service was also fantastic.

Absolutely stunning food. Had an extremely pleasant meal here yesterday, the seafood platter for two was among the best seafood I have ever had served to me. Highly recommend visiting and will be back specifically to eat here again. Thank you

Went for a morning of sea shanties!

Excellent everything very good and generous portions

Great food (very fish focused) in a lovely old pub.

The plate came out cold, we had the roast lamb...the veg slightly undercooked, otherwise great food and reasonably priced.

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.

Amazing, amazing, amazing. The seafood platter is out of this world. Staff are friendly, can't do enough for you. Just the best!

A great pub, seafood a speciality, will visit again.

I love this pub. Amazing menu and some of the seafood and platters are incredible - huge portions too. A good specials board but this time we both chose a sandwich lunch. Great seafood and some lovely pub chips to share Great beers and friendly table service

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! .

Fantastic few pints of Guinness, Sunday roast lunch was absolutely amazing, very warm and cosy pub, with excellent staff. Highly recommend.

Good service nice food nice wine

Very busy, but found us a table after just 30 mins (we should have booked) Lovely menu, so long as you like fish & shellfish, but that's obviously their speciality. There were options I could eat, so not an issue. My gammon was lovely, but my friends didn't think the curry's were brilliant, just ok Overall, a good evening, good service & excellent atmosphere.

The mussels were absolutely excellent. Clapping emoji.

Lovely Christmas Eve Dinner! We had the most delicious Christmas dinner at the Anchor Inn, so tasty and plentiful. It was excellent value for 3 courses and our waitress was so sweet and efficient! Would highly recommend!

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.

Lovely lunch, great service & atmosphere. Pre booked Christmas meals also looked delicious 😊

If you're passing stop for a chilled out afternoon. Worth the money for sure

Lovely lunch at the Anchor Inn - Moules Marinieres splendide.

Dear Team Anchor Inn, Thank You for making our birthday celebration so special. And, as ever the food was superb.

A lovely traditional English pub with great period dekor inside. The adjacent harbour is a great place when dry to sit out and admire the views.

great pub amazing food. They specialise in fish and sea food with a selection of tasty mussel dishes. On a Sunday they also serve a lovely rare beef roast
