I visited the pub with my child who chose it because it had a bouncy castle in Hathern. Unfortunately, I was disappointed with the experience. I ordered food at the bar while my friend stayed with our children at the table where we were given menus. I placed my order first, but my friend was told she would have to wait for an hour. The staff did not communicate this wait time beforehand, causing our party to be separated. The food I received was frozen and overpriced. The starters I ordered were small and unappetizing, not freshly made. The staff was unfriendly and unhelpful. When we ordered desserts, we requested them to be brought to the garden, which again seemed like a lot to ask for. De...
I visited the Anchor Inn last week with my work colleagues during our Christmas dinner. I had the salmon with prawn cocktail as a starter which was nice. I chose the top side of beef as a main and it arrived very dry, which was disappointing. It looked like it had stayed under the heat lamp for a very long time and it was not freshly cooked for sure! The two tiny pigs in blankets were clearly burnt, please see attached photo. The big sharing plates of vegetables had lots of mash, not enough roasted potatoes and the broccoli pieces were clearly over cooked.

We visited The Anchor on Christmas Eve for our Mum’s birthday and had such a good time! The food was great…all homemade and cooked to perfection, but what made the evening for us was how welcoming everyone was! The landlord came over (after we’d finished eating , introduced himself and stayed for a chat even though it was his night off we had a lovely chat with his wife too. The Bar Manager was equally as friendly and welcoming…it felt like we’d know her for ages, not 2 hours and there were hugs when we left : We will definitely be back and would recommend this pub to anyone. Thanks for a great evening guys!
Visited with friends from work and enjoyed the Festive menu. Fantastic choice of starters with different things like fig and goats cheese parcels. I had the turkey with all the trimmings which was great. A large selection of veg as well as roast and mashed potatoes were supplied to the table. A generous gravy jug as well. Finally the Xmas pud with a choice of custard, cream, ice cream or brandy sauce. All with Xmas music playing in the background and a nice atmosphere. Thank you for a great night.

I recently had a pre-Christmas dinner at this restaurant and it was fantastic. The staff were lovely and the food was plentiful, fresh, and of high quality. I appreciated that they allowed us to take a break between our main course and dessert.
