The Restaurant at The Anchor Inn in Teignbridge

Lovely place in a great location, good food and a great selection of drinks to choose from, nice views over the harbour

We had a very large group, about 20 of us and they served us exceptionally well for a large group. Lovely food, excellent service and a great pub with superb atmosphere.

Love this place Amazing food, staff and atmosphere Step back in time 5*

Fabulous food and such a lovely spot by the harbour wall

Great pub with a great atmosphere and even better cider 👍

Very nice and old pub, the food is excellent!

The seafood for 2 to share was amazing The presentation was a feast for your eyes The quality and quantity was way beyond what I expected A variable feast of crustacean and shellfish Probably the best I've had in the UK

What a meal good variety and lots of it

Came as a solo to the coastal inn where there was a comfortable fullness to the place. I checked out the menu and noticed a large selection of sea-food on offer. I, however, selected the roast duck with a cheeky extra yorkshire. It wasn't long until my food arrived (pictured) and boy! I was not disappointed! The portion was big enough to perfectly satisfy what I needed, without the need for me to hang on to dear life forcing this food into me. Although windy, it was lovely to sit outside and over look the small marina neighbouring the pub.

Lovely place, amazing food and great service... Definitely recommend if you love seafood.. The mussels menu is all delicious.

On the off chance we would get a booking, not only on a Sunday but Mothers Day, we were relived to learn we could be booked for a table and boy were we pleased about that! A great selection of real ales, wine, and the food...YUM! Our server was so lovely and attentive. We would absolutely come again if we are back down in the south of the county! Thank you

Bacon, Brie and Cranberry Sandwich. No butter on bread, so quite dry. Cold bacon (left over from yesterday ?) Near £10 for something that looked like it was too much effort and tasted the same. Sorry..we expected much better !

This is a great traditional English pub serving lovely food.

We all had the Sunday roast. Excellent. The Seafood was well worth the money.

Dressed, as I was, as a pirate, for the Achor's shanty festival, I had great difficulty entering the authentically-18th century pub through its narrow and not-very-sword-friendly doorway, through which I had to turn sideways. (Cutlasses might best be removed before ent'rin'.) The interior, with its low beamed ceiling, further ensured that we skurvy knaves removed our hats; while the sheer body of people coming and going with their pints and quarts of foaming ale or rum meant we definitely had to watch our Ps and Qs. A great pub in the tradition of dockside pubs.

There to perform in the Shanty Festival. Awesome team, plenty of staff and they did very well in a very busy place.

Lovely pub..sea shanty festival going on...food looked great ... mussels, lobster ...all fresh ...

Yogi say what a great place for dogs. Food great beer great staff great land lord very friendly & helpful 😀 thank you from me & yogi we be back

Atmospheric pub with an eclectic mix of seafarering niknaks. Extensive mussels menu as well as a reasonable choice of food. Friendly attentive staff. Dog friendly. Parking very limited.

Meal with partner and her family one evening here, friendly staff and lovely locally sourced produce. We all chose a mussel dish and had no complaints. Good portion size with sliced bread and a bowl of chips. The Inn itself is also a factor in my review given its idyllic location near the coast and an interesting rich history given the age of the building, approx 450 years old.

Great place, fabulous food, very friendly and helpful staff. Well worth a visit. Probably one of the best in this area. Love all the memorabilia, gives it a very unique atmosphere. Worth booking to avoid disappointment. Many thanks 🙏

Banging spot. Eceptional sauce game to accompany great food. Staff are lush and just get it done. Beer selection solid. Maximal decoration options CHECK. Ode to Berly cook alley YES PLEASE! Your loins will thank you for imbibing the hallowed experience of the Anchor. Just book or rock up and get involved.

Excellent character pub with great views. Very friendly staff and amazing seafood. Good range of local ales. Best pub in Cockwood, quite possibly in the county.

Offering an authentic old fishermans pub loved by locals and tourists alike The Anchor at Cockwood is a must stop for anyone visiting Devon. A Great Seafood selection with Turf dishes it really does cater for everyone. Booking is advised for most evenings as it does get busy. Dog friendly in parts makes this place enven better. I had the Mussells which never disappoint. Will be back very soon.

Very much a locals place where you're made to feel uncomfortable as you walk through the door having waded through plumes of cigarette smoke. Limited parking. Dark and dingy. Location gets 3 stars.

Excellent location! The service was very good and the food was amazing, albeit a little expensive.

Homemade ice cream 🍦 super yummy. Giness extra cold on tap was perfect. Can imagine it being busy here during season. Lovely traditional looking pub inside

Dropped in for a pint whilst walking in the area. Very nice Otter ale. Sat outside on the veranda overlooking the harbour.

Such a lovely pub out of the way in cockwood. Really good seafood and the mussels are sublime

What a find, great atmosphere, friendly staff, great menu, and dog friendly..... And the food is excellent, We had the mussels, highly recommended, no matter how you like to have them, very generous portions.

Sunday lunch, expecting the full fish menu but they concentrate on mussels and carveries. They were good but I was hoping for some grilled fish.

I chose from the mussel menu (yes a menu! Where else do you get that choice?!). I asked the waitress’s opinion - it was her least favourite and she suggested mussels Normandy I went for it and it was excellent. My wife had the scallops and they were a decent size and quantity and well prepared. She also had an excellent meal.

A lovely spot for a couple of drinks on a rainy winter afternoon, great pint of real ale and good wine. Buzzing atmosphere,can't wait to return in the summer and sit outside overlooking the water. Like the Terminator, I'll be back!

My husband and I went for Sunday lunch. The whole meal experience was lovely. The servers were very attentive, the food was amazing along with the wine. Everything was clean and hygienic. Really love the Anchor.

Great seafood menu especially if you like mussels

2 nd visit here ,fab mussels again

Excellent roast dinner, service was impeccable.

Lovely pub overlooking the harbour traditional pub lots of little booths and rooms excellent service didn't eat as they were full but food looked excellent

Great pub for its drinks food and service.

Best pub in Cockwood. Why would you go anywhere else?

Not been here for years, even though my son lives in the village. Really nice roast today, welcoming and friendly staff, and a lovely landlord. Pub was beautifully decorated for Christmas too. Many thanks for a great lunch.

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 location and super inside layout with lots of eating spaces. Good choice of food and drinks. Limited parking. Super friendly staff.

Charming pub, with cosy booths. Attentive & friendly service. Excellent food.

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

So good it ended up being the only place we ate at during our 3 day stay. The mussels were superb and the Sunday roast beef and Yorkshire pudding was awesome. Thank you very much.

Well worth a visit . Excellent food . Gammon was very taste & a good size peice. The scollops we cooked to perfection . Homemade puddings must have ! Banoffee pie & sticky toffee pudding both perfect .

Stellar location, food & atmosphere. Server was lovely, decor was greatly themed, and a good number of choices for veggie / pescatarian. Homemade sweet treats also packed with flavour. And to top it off - dog friendly! Limited parking but worth visiting if you're in the area

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

Excellent little pub on the harbour at Cockwood. Mussels delicious, you can smell the freshness of the seafood and cooking quality as soon as you enter.

A lovely pub serving fine ales and great food also comes with a super panorama

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

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

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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

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

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.

Stopped for a pint before getting the ferry back to Exmouth

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

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🤤

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

Excellent in many ways. Highly recommended!

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. 👍

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

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

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'.

nice place great view.didnt eat there though

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
