"We come here often. But typically only when there is a pop-up as the service here just angers us and ruins our visit. The staff could not give less of a care, it is taking ‘relaxed atmosphere’ to a new low. They do not care to serve you or check in on you, and are actually quite blunt and rude when you do ask them to order food, or for some water, or a table etc etc. I can see other people are complaining about this too but no actions being taken by the anchor. We have been coming here for around 2 years now and I actually feel the service has declined. It hit an all time low on valentine’s day this year when an unfriendly waitress ruined our evening. Do better Anchor. Your food is typically great, you have a beautiful restaurant and the tent has great ambiance. Your staff are bringing you down."

As ever, very good fish and chips. Warm outdoor lunch area. Good value for money
Khalil
eating was good, although I send my back to be warmed up, but service was something missing

I absolutely adore this pub! My friends and I went on a Sunday evening and were pleasantly surprised to find that the usual menu had been swapped out for a delicious and simple Mexican grill menu. The food was truly tasty!
Laurianne
very slow service. we were forgotten, after we had not brought menus, no beverage order was taken. then that was waiting for the food too long, and when it came, contained false objects. I'm going on because it's my local, but eating isn't very special.
Emma
Food was Ok let down by a very dry chicken which in fairness was not charged for. Service was very slow. Value even with deduction seems low for quite basic pub grub. Also wine very expansive for anything half decent, as much as a symptom of the times Left feeling underwhelmed by what we had for what we paid.

Very nice ambience eating outdoors under shelter and with good heaters, but waited a long time for food and it wasn’t all that good! The menu descriptions sounded nice, but the reality was food that wasn’t very tasty, was too bland and in some cases, like the kebab, there was so little salad that it shouldn’t have even been mentioned!

I like trying The Anchor as it is a good convenient location. Service is OK but can often appear disorganised: my pint of 6X from the bar took AGES. The menu (on a Sunday at least) is limited (and unchanged from when I last went several weeks ago). Food was OK but well over £20 for a chicken burger and a pint (and a service charge) is on the steep side, even in these post-lockdown days

We visited after booking with OT. First, they told us they had to sit us outside, which we explicitly didn’t want based on the cold so they conceded to sit us at the bar. The food took 1:15 to arrive and it was cold, flavourless and overpriced. They didn’t make up for anything on the bill. We left dissatisfied and luckily we found another place (The Royal Oak) to treat ourselves to a nice dessert and good service. So so bad, I can’t recall my last experience this poor.
