"We came to this pub on a Saturday night expected it to be good on the strength of the reviews......however........ The first surprise is the fact there's no parking available. We managed to park down the road but it got us off to a...bad start. The food service was good can't complain about that but we were seated by the window and that is is littered with dead flies spiders!! The whole window area needs cleaning. The table seats are covered in stains it all just needs sorting out with a deep clean. Sadly we won't be returning here."

Visited twice while on holiday this week. Really enjoyed the cakes excellent value even if the famous Tuesday cake night isn't happening at the moment. Friendly service will surely return next time in the area.

Our favorite meal to date has been so lovely. The staff were really friendly, receiving the value for money was fantastic. Coordinated measures without being OTT. Food was really delicious, we can't wait to come back!

Came here on Sunday evening on our holiday, we had 2 chilli con carne and a roast beef. All the food was amazing, really good portions and reasonably priced, one of our favourite meals whilst on holiday. The staff were very attentive and service was...good. View menu

Had visited here a couple of years ago and enjoyed a family meal with great service. The latest visit was as good as the first if not better, great food, very friendly service and a lovely atmosphere. Great for families looking for a holiday meal...in a traditional setting.

Having read a number of reviews we were looking forward to our visit sadly when we eventually got the landlady to open the door as they had forgotten to unlock we were hit by a very musty smelling pub which put us off so we...decided to leave without making a purchase. However we found a gem of a pub nearby The Smugglers Den try this one and skip the Anvil

We had a delicious meal at this establishment. We all ordered pies as these came highly recommended by local people we talked to and we weren’t disappointed. The pies were literally the best pies We’ve ever had, match that with a good portion of fresh...veg and potato and we were in heaven. The gravy was rich and delicious too. The staff were friendly and attentive. I highly recommend a visit. Thanks to everyone for a great night out.

"So let us share our experience, We went in tonight as a family after seeing that it home made food on the drive to sennen and looked online and had a good look at the food available on the menu also looking to see if it was dog friendly and it ticked all the boxes, Upon arrival me and my wife went in 1st to ask if we could have a table for food and if dogs can go inside and staff were a little unsure but they confirmed we could upon asking for a table for 7 but one in a pram he said we don’t have the availability to cater I was looking at a table big enough and eventually said that this table was available whilst being seated we had 2 table one clean and the 2nd just been finished with so needed a clean but he came and cleaned both tables and he squirted the cleaner on a clean table and the over spray bounced off the table and went over our selfs then we were handed a menu freshly printed A4 paper thrown on the table (WET TABLE) so they stuck to the table upon agreeing what we wanted we went to the bar within 2-3 mins of being seated we knew what we wanted and when we asked for the meal it was OUT OF STOCK (Sunday lunch) ok fair so as I was with a family member at the bar I quickly rushed back to the table to ask my daughter of an alternative she wasn’t happy, So I made a meal up of all the extras on the menu so I went back to the bar to find my family member ordered 2 fish and chips then I realised my wife also wanted Sunday lunch so I quickly rushed back to ask her what she wanted and went back to the bar just as my family member left and asked for fish and chips was also sold out also! 99% of the menu was SOLD OUT this should of been discussed upon arrival not as we were ordering I run and operate my own business and this isn’t how I would treat my customers this isn’t how an establishment should be ran! Even when I was standing trying to order a member of staff was standing there arm against the wall doing nothing while customers are standing waiting to be served! So we decided not to eat and my family member went back to the bar to ask for a refund as we couldn’t eat as a family and the staff were iffy about offering a refund but 10 minutes later they did refund my family member as it became a scene for other people as they could see what had happened! This establishment should be call the 1st and late time you come here! We ended up walking to the chip shop down the road for food we are very disappointed in this company and establishment! For anyone who wants to eat please make sure they HAVE STOCK how can this establishment run without stock? Never again tonight they lost over £200 revenue due to this situation!"
