| We had decided to go for a walk along the River Wey, before having lunch at The Anchor. We arrived at 10.30am, only to find the main car park barred with a gate, and the small car park full, except for disabled spaces. When we asked inside if they could open up the car park, we were told rather rudely that the car park would not be open until the pub opens at 11am. How ludicrous! Customers clearly have to time their arrival to the minute, and if you would like to go for a walk first, you had better go somewhere else! holly6 - 26 Jun 2009 12:45 |
| Nice location, good ales, a little pricey. Didn't eat here - catering arrangements seemed a carbon carbon of many other similar places. Anyway, this is 'beer in the evening', not 'lunch at the weekend'... deho - 30 May 2009 21:13 |
| Went to this pub today for Sunday lunch. The pub was heaving but there were free tables inside. The queue for food and/or drink was long (10 mins wait). We ordered 1 starter to share and two childrens meals to arrive at the same time and four adult main meals. We were advised that we would have to wwait 30 minutes for the food. 55 minutes later we asked a waitress what had happened to our order. She asked us if we had waited long. I pointed out that two other tables had ordered their food after us but they had recieved their meals and had almost finished eating by now. She disappeared and then came back, apologised for the wait and said our food would be with us in 5 mins. Thank goodness we thought as the children were almost chewing the menus. 10 minutes later two adult main meals arrived, another 5 minutes and the other two main meals arrived, 5 mins later the two kids meals were served and eventually the starter arrived (we sent this back and were given a refund). The food was ok but not great, my daughters celery, carrot and cucumber sticks had seen better days and the humous looked like scrambled egg and tasted like it was made with lentils. I had the grilled tuna but the balsamic and red oniond chutney sauce was tasteless. The Somerset Chicken pie was just a chicken and ham pie. The roasts did indeed have lots of meat but weren't really worth waiting over an hour for. The staff were not particularly friendly nor nearly apologetic enough. We then ordered 2 teas and 2 coffees which took 20 mins to arrive. 20 mins to boil a kettle and pour it on some tea bags??? As others have said fantastic location, nice small play area (if your children are between 5 and 7 yrs old I would have said), lots of outdoor tables but little playing space if your children are not in the 5-7 age range but I guess thats because it is squished right next to the canal, bar area is tiny and there is no option but to join the long queue even if you just want a couple of drinks. All in all a nice afternoon cos it was lovely weather and good company and a great place to sit but as for the food, forget it and go to a decent restaurant or eat first. domgoddess - 26 Apr 2009 23:24 |
| 15.03.09 I went to the Anchor with my girlfriend on a sunny Sunday afternoon, and we had a couple of lagers, a caesar salad £9, and a roast chicken £10. My gf gave the salad 8/10, the only criticism being that there could have been a little more chicken meat. I'd give my roast chicken 8.5/10. It was a bit strange getting new potatoes AND mashed potatoes on the same plate, but there was plenty of meat, which tasted great. The German lager was also good. The food came in 35 mins, which was ok considering how rammed full the place was. The staff were fine. The location is fantastic, and the pub offers reasonable value for money. Some of the other reviews seem very harsh to me. Sr.Gordito - 15 Mar 2009 20:01 |
| Fantastic pub is an ever more fantastic location. Nice and peacful, except in the summer, at weekends and every lunchtime. Beer is very good, but often run out of more popular ones. Menu varies depending on whether they can be asked to cook, sorry heat anything for you. Quality varies too - surprising as the sign outside claims they have real food cooked by real chefs. Even worse, someone connected to the pub seems to put good ratings on here about the place and get more trueful comments taken off - just look back at the comments and people placing them - funny that some don't drink anywhere else. Don't bother moaning about the place because firstly they'll ignore you and secondly, there's a dozen more people to take your place and the landlord knows it. hungryferret - 25 Jan 2009 18:21 |
