We were a party of seven from teenagers to I’d rather not say how old with a very well behaved dog. The staff were welcoming, the service was timely and the food exceeded expectations. Very happy to have eaten at the Anchor.

When arriving service was slow 2 staff members serving one group of people. Thought the First Lady to serve us was a little rude and not as welcoming. However, the lady who took our food order (I think she was the cook) was lovely and very welcoming. The food was lovely also.
