We went to The Anchor for a celebration it was the best! It was our second visit there and the food did not disappoint it was the most incredible food we’ve ever had! The french onion soup was a favourite and the sea bream! The service is excellent, the staff are so knowledgeable. We hope to return again soon and would highly recommend.

Midweek lunch was excellent. One of us had the set menu, the other a la carte. The food allergy was handled very well. The pasta starter was tasty and interesting. My French onion soup was lukewarm but soon remedied. The mains, quail and partridge were well presented and had some good flavours. Mine was a little tough. We shared a cute little dessert.

The service was OK but lacked charm. My soup should not have been sent out lukewarm.

I do not like a pre-set service charge. It's not nice for customers.

We had phenomenal lunch at the Anchor. The food was stunning and offered amazing value. The smoked salmon tartlets and the braised pork belly were particular highlights. The cooking was superb, everything was seasoned so well and the presentation was beautiful. Can’t wait to return

We had snacks, starters, main and dessert and the food was exceptional! We took advice from the waitress Phoebe who recommended some sides too - how right she was! The menu had plenty for us to choose from and the presentation beautiful. The atmosphere was cosy and  made us feel comfortable and relaxed. We would highly recommend and look forward to returning, thank you Chefs Mike and Dave and all the staff we had a most enjoyable experience!
