"We ate here twice during our break away. I have been coming here for 27 years and have seen the Anchor go through good, bad and everything in between. We would happily eat here again. The first night we were seated by the bar and 2 had burgers and I had the steak loaded fries. The portions are huge!! The onion rings are worthy of a special mention!! All enjoyed our meal. Tonight we ordered the Scallops which honestly were cooked perfectly, just melted in your mouth with black pudding and chorizo, my son had the squid. For mains we had 1 x ribeye steak, asked for rare and beautifully cooked, 1x chicken curry and 1x chicken breast from the grill. Curry was homemade, with poppadoms and mango chutney and rice and chips. Curry portion HUGE!! But tasty. Chicken breast was over cooked and dry but everything else on the dish was lovely, especially the Diane sauce. Nice to see this place busy, lovely staff, especially the Australian guy Connor? Very friendly service. We will be back!! (We booked both nights which I’m glad we did because it does get busy)"

Your friends had Sunday lunch here. Food was very tasty and well presented. Staff were very attentive but not over the top. Would recommend if you are in the area check it out. Sat nav sent us down the wrong lane.

Stayed at the Anchor on several occasions, certainly noticed the makeover this visit, looks great. Food is excellent especially breakfast, sets you up for the day. Place clean, staff friendly and helpful. Well done to Kelly and her team. Looking forward to next visit. Xxxx

I almost booked here for our stay of 4 nights on the Solway Coast I am glad I did not; however we went for lunch it was passable; what we wanted from the specials menu displayed was not available until tomorrow! so why display it? also found the service poor but great spot View menu

We have been coming here for over 10 years. Twice we have visited during this holiday and both times the service and food has been excellent. Special mention to Connor who's customer service and enthusiasm resulted in all customers being looked after including my family. Great place, great food, great service. Thank you. We will see you next year.

We visited the pub multiple times while staying in the local area for food and drinks. They had a great selection of beers, whiskies, and a fantastic menu. We tried items from the specials menu as well as the regular menu, and everything was delicious. They also had plenty of options for Gluten Free diners. A special shoutout to Conor, one of the Bar staff, who was extremely helpful and friendly.

The restaurant is too pricey for the quality of food offered. The £9 whitebait starter was small, and serving it with sweet chili sauce was a warning sign. The mixed grill was severely overcooked. The high prices do not match the below-average cooking on a basic menu. On the positive side, the service was good, with friendly staff, and the bar had a cozy atmosphere with an open fire. It's a great spot for drinks, but I would recommend skipping the food. View menu

I had a wonderful weekend experience at this fantastic pub restaurant. The staff were exceptional and experienced, and went above and beyond to make sure we had a great time. It is a family-run business with amazing food options for everyone. The restaurant has a lovely decor, and the open fire creates a cozy atmosphere. They have a great variety of whiskey, including my favorite Caol IIa Malts. The location also offers beautiful scenery. I highly recommend this restaurant.

We spent 3 nights in Kippford over New, spending plenty of time at The Anchor. We had a meal New Year’s Eve afternoon, went to the New Year’s eve party and had lunch New Year’s Day. We had a wonderful experience all round. Lovely food, lovely staff, great management team and a great atmosphere. The staff work so hard and the food was plentiful, hot and very tasty! We enjoyed our stay in Kippford so much that we’ve already booked for next New Year and are taking friends. We’ll certainly be booking the Anchor again for our meals and ringing up for tickets to the party again! Would also like to add that the DJ was fabulous!! We partied until the small hours!!

"Myself and my partner where just outside of portpatrick yesterday and wondered about somewhere to have lunch, it was about 12.30pm on a scorching hot Bank holiday Sunday. We hadn’t actually planned to go there to start with but thought why not. I saw on Facebook Connors Restaurant had just uploaded a Facebook post about stopping there for a choice of 2 lovely menus and a cheeky gin, sounded perfect! The post had went up about 15 mins before we arrived, so I assumed they must be looking to take some tables. I walked down and there where 2 tables taken outside, and 1 table inside. I asked if I could get a table for 2 outside if possible and I was told no they had been reserved and I thought okay but before I could even open my mouth again she said all tables inside where also reserved that they where fully booked. There was 1 table inside, other wise it was pretty empty. Ok no problem, we found somewhere else so no big deal, after about 2 hours spent having food and wondering around we went back to the car (parked just up from Connors restaurant) and I noticed again there was only the 1 table outside, and no one at the others. I’m maybe wrong but I felt like this was odd, the inside didn’t look like it was “fully booked” either. It actually looked a little dead compared to everywhere else. This has also happened to my friends a couple of times too they’ve went in and the place has been stone dead but got turned away because of the excuse of being fully booked. Just felt like it was not quite right. Sorry I never usually write reviews but felt like I had to get my point across on this one. We would love to dine here and hopefully will in the future."
