Let's be honest! I'm Spanish and I was on holiday when I went to The Anchor Inn so I am not qualified to compare pubs in England. But I must say that I think this is no ordinary pub...food was MUCH BETTER than the other 4 pubs I visited in my holidays. Fish (we tried salmon and bass) and seafood (we tried prawns and scallops) was delicious, the Bailey's and vanilla home made creme brulée was a delight. Service was kind, fast and friendly. I absolutely recommend it, if you are a foreigner visiting England and you have some kind of prejudice against pubs' food, give this place a try: you'll change your mind!
A fantastic place. The four of us ate and drank and even played dominoes. We all enjoyed our dishes from steaks to scallops,mussels and lobster. The staff were helpful and extremely kind and efficient. We will return soon.
GREAT food! An amazing variety of seafood dishes, but a variety of meat and meat free dishes also available. Very child friendly, with lovely, friendly, helpful staff. Fair pricing is an added bonus - as is the selection of local beers available. Portion sizes are incredible too. Sadly we were only able to visit once during our stay in the area - it's almost worth the 200+ mile journey from our home to Burton Branstock just to eat there again. I strongly suggest that if you are in the area, you make the Anchor a priority destination - you will not be disappointed!
Fantastic customer service. Staff were attentive, knowlegable & polite. We opted for the sharring sea food platter - was beautifully cooked but I think more seafood is needed for your money. It was an ample portion for 2 but I just would have liked to see a few more scallops and squid. On the whole a wonderful dinning experience.
Last night we had one of the best meals ever!! Starting with the mezze mixed platter for one, it was more than enough for the two of us. My wife had the seafood pasta dish, which was packed with seafood, and full of flavour. I had the two-fish offering - sea bass and plaice. I have not had such well cooked fish in years, the last time was in a restaurant in coastal Belgium. The service was superb, and the time between courses was just perfect - neither too quick or too slow. Finished off with the Eton mess - not Boris 🤣 I give this excellent pub 5 stars and a 100% rating. Thank you Kate, and chef - well done. We will see you again for sure.
