The Blue Anchor

First time in a long time at the Blue Anchor and a good choice it turned out to be.
Despite the Tier 2 restrictions we had a very pleasant evening. The food was well prepared, of exceptional quality and good value. Service was attentive and welcoming.
Thoroughly recommended.

Fantastic as ever. Highly recommend venison bourguignon.

Very nice food and good service.Worth every penny.Will visit again

The outside marquee was fantastic. Not too cold and it was decorated so nicely with Christmas trees and decorations. Tables were positioned far apart and had comfy cushions and blankets. The service was outstanding. We had a great evening.

Delicious, as always! Had Jerusalem Artichoke Soup again, surprise surprise, but it really is SO yummy! Xx

Went out for a meal and drinks on Thursday, the pub was lovely, nice Christmas atmosphere, my mum was cold as was in a short sleeve top and lovely lady behind the bar moved us to a table by the fire and came back with a rug, food was delicious and drinks where reasonably priced, thank you for a lovely evening!

Delicious food. Amy and her staff are great. Felt very safe

Had a lovely lunch.Great service.The room was a bit on the cool side.

Sunday lunch

Great evening. Felt safe with all precautions. Good good but might have appreciated wider menu and salad garnish with scotch eggs and burger. Thanks

Absolutely gorgeous meal. Had delicious Jerusalem artichoke soup and hake with lentil daal for main. Superb flavours. Love the nasturtiums! X

Friendly staff, service was very good, my meal was delicious.

Welcoming friendly staff and the food is excellent. An excellent chef
You aren’t rushed and the service is brilliant.
I would highly recommend you visit this pub otherwise you are missing out !

Sunday roast chicken was delicious and would recommend, although unfortunately by comparison the beef + ale stew with dumplings was very average and wouldn't order this again. Sticky toffee pudding very good.

Slightly limited choice on the menu. I was looking for healthier choices. Unfortunately I didn't like the few healthy choices that were available. My husband was dissapointed in his choice of cod and chips which left him with indigestion for the rest of the day. He thinks it was either the batter or the strong flavour of the tartar sauce. The service was quite slow but that may have been down to the extra precautions that are needed for safety. Although the heating was on when we arrived, the radiators cooled down shortly after which was a shame. The staff were friendly.

We had lunch on a Wednesday and there was plenty of atmosphere with most tables taken. The food was excellent, freshly cooked and well presented. Service good and efficient. Excellent value for a two course meal with drinks.

A lovely meal and so nice to have a normal feel to a local again!

With all the guidelines followed but a relaxed fun atmosphere perfect to enjoy a sunday roast with friends. Food was delicious and tasty!

Pizza days Fri night, Sat and Sun all day .
Went on Sat and had a gr8 pizza lunch.
As usual, excellent service and friendly staff

Always pleased with the welcome and the presentation and choice of the meals,which are cooked to a very high standard.

We had a very enjoyable meal on Saturday. Good food and nice setting.

Second visit and equally as good as the last time. I had the crab starter as I only wanted a light lunch & it was delicious. Added chunky chips, perfectly done ! Social distancing & safety was very well observed.

Excellent meal for 2. Friendly and efficient staff.

Had a very pleasant evening, just popper out as couldn't be bothered to cook!! Not disappointed, we had a chicken burger and the blue anchor burger - both very good. Staff attentive, all covid measures in place and felt very safe here.

Great unusual food and friendly, helpful staff with a real "local" feel

had a lovely waitress who went out of her way to make us feel welcome

Really enjoyable meal, nice atmosphere and helpful staff.

The best pub in the area, hands down for a Sunday roast!!!
Great service and will be returning on a regular basis!!

Distinctly average food. Great waitress though, very helpful and friendly.

very enjoyable meal with excellent service. will go again.

Fantastic food, staff and ambience - highly recommend this place

The whole experience was first class. From the moment we arrived we were welcomed by one of the staff and escorted to our table.
The staff were attentive but not overbearing.
The food was excellent and could not be faulted. With the good food and friendly staff we will certainly be returning to The Blue Anchor

Event spoiled by the Sunday lunches being lukewarm

This was our second visit and it was just as enjoyable as the first.
COVID19 safety rules were in place and the team made sure the rules were observed by the customers.
Our reserved table was ready and we were served our drinks straight away.
The food arrived in a timely manner and was delicious as was previously.
The team were very friendly and made us feel welcome.
Good value .

Meal was up to the usual excellent standard .we have always had a very enjoyable time at the Blue Anchor,always felt very welcome,

Excellent food great service with smiley eyes (face mask on ) I would recommend .....

Some interesting options on the menu (I had octopus - very tasty)
There were several other diners, so it had a lovely atmosphere.

Excellent service and observance of social distancing. However choices on menu seemed strange for lunchtime e.g. Octopus and Pigeon.

3 portobello mushroom burgers ordered and all three had no mushroom just stalks. Shame as not many veggie options on menu and fries were good. We went in a cheap night but this should not been food is downgraded. Also no honeycomb ice cream only strawberry

Awesome lunch and beer in lovely sunny garden! Great service too!

Amy and her team were brilliant! They went out their way to accommodate my sister’s 60th birthday meal whilst ensuring that government rules were adhered to. Amy responded so kindly to my phone calls to check things. The food was delicious and I highly recommended the Blue Anchor for a fun and safe experience with excellent food and service.
