Crown And Anchor Public House

Congratulations to the chef this is the 4th time we have been here allwaysfound the food excellent had the sea bass today my friend had the sweet chilli salmon Couldn’t fault it at all will be going again well done

Unfortunately we were extremely disappointed overall. The service was very slow. A member of staff even admitted they were out all last night and feeling it this morning. Okay great because that's professional? The meal was just tasteless with questionable meat. The tables were dirty. The toilet facilities were dated and the entire place could do with a refit. I could go on...

Dropped in on Saturday lunchtime to try and book a table for Sunday lunch at short notice, no problem. Stopped for an excellent lunch as well. Sunday lunch inside with a dog, again, excellent (huge) meal. Having looked at a couple of other venues for lunch on Monday (and walked away), we again dropped into the C&A, for a light lunch which was ample. Can't fault the staff, or service, and locals were friendly too.

Sunday lunch' but nearly all sold ,so picked off menu the food was nice but service not too good young girl asked to take my plate even though I was obviously still eating and couldn't work out the change to give me when paying the bill!Everything seemed so hit and miss even the barmaid didn't know which beer was which ,so disappointed as we have been many times before .May try again on a quieter day not sure yet.

After having a great Sunday lunch at this restaurant before, we were disappointed with our recent visit. The drinks we wanted were not available and the portions of our meals were not very generous. The Korma only had half a dozen chicken pieces and no chutney, the scampi was small in portion, and the fish and chips seemed reheated. The cream was spray cream instead of the pouring kind. The only positive was the friendly service we received.

It was my friend's birthday and we wanted to go for lunch at a country pub, so we decided to come here. I called ahead to make sure they were still serving food, and to our delight they were. We were not disappointed. The steak pies were delicious, with generous portions of tender meat, served with vegetables, potatoes, and a flavorful gravy. The ladies in our group ordered haddock and scampi, and both were very pleased with their dishes. My sticky toffee pudding and custard was fantastic, as was the birthday boy's ice cream sundae. We savored several real ales and a bottle of red wine, making for a delightful lunch experience.

Came here for a family meal (6 adults) on a Tues evening in December. We were very impressed with the range of food on the menu (better than last time I think). The fish and chips was delicious and huge! Everybody enjoyed their food, and most were big portions (except the chicken satay). For me the only let down was the cider I just don't like the Cold River cider much, but I'm sure there are some who do. Note that if you have elderly members in the group who need chair arms to get up from a seat, the chairs in the restaurant don't have arms but in the other room there is one which does, so if you need that, ring up and book it!

I decided to have lunch at this restaurant and sat outside on a warm day. I ordered a sausage and onion baguette for myself, while my partner had the steak pie. I was very disappointed with the baguette as there was barely half a sausage in it. It was chopped up into small pieces, rather than a whole sausage cut in half. The predominant flavors were lettuce and fried onion, with the chips and coleslaw being decent. For the price of £9.95, I would have expected at least two sausages in the baguette. My partner had no issues with his steak pie, but we both found the drink prices to be quite high - £6.50 for a pint and a small Pepsi. We are unlikely to return to this restaurant.

Fish and chips in the bar were spot on,lightly battered white haddock,crunchy brown chips and mushy peas.The meal was absolutely fine,my problem was the price of the drinks.Does anybody think charging £4.10p for non alcoholic cider is a good idea.Come on..really...don't pub landlords think they should be encouraging drivers to stay legal.My pint of 5% bitter was 30p cheaper.I know for a fact I can buy 12 bottles of the Old Mout cider in question for £18.99,Thats about £1.58p a bottle and I'm pretty sure bought in bulk the pubs get it a deal cheaper.So why not encourage nominated drivers to stay legal by charging a reasonable price.I feel like I've been mugged and won't be going back any time...
