"With over 200 reviews and 200,000 readers mostly for restaurants and eateries, I'm not new to this, I live locally and had good reports about the Anise from about half a dozen individuals. We visited on Friday evening at 6pm as we prefer quieter periods as you tend to be served quicker etc It was quiet with one table occupied, we had spiced onions and poppadoms my wife opted for the onion bhaji which was a generous portion and very tasty, I had the fish pakora which was cooked to perfection and a generous 6 pieces. The wifes main was chicken shashlik with boiled rice, I opted for the south indian garlic chilli chicken with garlic naan both dishes were generous in portions and absolutely delicious, I very rarely award 10/10 for food but this is an exception. The staff were friendly and efficient, the food exquisitely fresh and superb My favourite food is Indian having visited multiple Indian restaurants the Anise is right up there with the very best, book it, you wont be disappointed, prices are reasonable given the portions are generous, we had two large glasses of wine and two pints of Kingfisher £48 for the food, £26 for the drinks, £5.80 a pint is expensive but very refreshing"

Had dinner here with a couple of mates. Lovely warm surroundings, friendly staff and plenty to choose from on the menu. Service is excellent as is the food. Would definitely recommend a visit.

I had an amazing carvery meal at this restaurant. The selection was impressive and the quality was top-notch, especially the perfectly cooked roast beef. The variety of vegetables and potatoes was lovely, and the dessert options were delicious as well. The staff were very attentive.

We have always enjoyed The River Inn and tonight didn’t disappoint. I have hearing difficulties and required a table with a wall behind me or a booth and got a booth. We got a 2 course carvery, the starters were amazing particularly the chicken fillet with katsu curry. Carvery had stories, chorizo with black pudding which was new for us again really enjoyed trying this. Staff were lovely.

We had a great meal at The Carvery last Friday, November 24th. The food was excellent as always, thanks to Jason's usual high standards. However, we were disappointed to hear from Angela that the restaurant would be closing on Sunday, November 26th. The restaurant seemed busy with a large party of about 50 women celebrating, but it seems it was not enough to keep the business going. We will miss The Carvery!

I had visited this restaurant before and had a positive experience. However, this time I was quite disappointed. Despite the staff being friendly, helpful, and professional, the food quality was very poor. It was clear that the food was frozen, and I believe paying £13.00 for a small portion of frozen fish and chips is too expensive. The ambiance of the restaurant is great, with comfortable surroundings and a relaxed atmosphere. Overall, I found the food to be overpriced for what was essentially just pub grub.

Hi always a lovely day until today ordered steak pie and found a hard twig like in my food I looked under the pastry and found a twig like branch with the meat food I left the food unable to consume and handed the dish back to the concerned rep I did refuse any more food from there kitchen however i did wait until the company I was in finished there meals which was to there satisfaction on paying for the meal a considerable sum they said it was a sprig of rosemary and said it had to be paid for and he was not authorised to adjust the bill and I need to pay I did so and now we will no longer use the lovely River Inn , S hame!!

Popped in for dinner ad-hoc. Ate in the main restaurant. Nice enough venue, quiet as midweek. Starter of Salt Chili Chicken was uninspiring as breaded chicken goujons, sliced with an indeterminate sauce which didn't meet expectations, dish was neither salt or chili. Nachos were decent and well received although sour cream was off the menu that day. Steak was very good, but the Blaggis Supper is something which although piqued my interest from the menu, will never be ordered again. It is the illegitimate child of 2 good puddings and not a culinary masterpiece. Served with fries on a plate, on paper, with a boat of onion sauce, which added further confusion to the plating presentation.
