| It's been sometime since I reviewed this pub, but in that time little has changed. The food remains outstanding, if somewhat expensive it is also good value for money. The beer choice remains a bit samey, but the quality is excellent. The staff are friendly, the landlord is prepared to listen to comments, and seems to be genuinely interested. If you are looking for good food and drink then I can, and often do, thoroughly recommend this pub. My rating remains 8, although I wish I could make it 8.5. Runningdog - 5 Apr 2008 12:09 |

| Hi there, I'm new at this so perhaps a little nervous. Any comments about the Anchor from before the present regime should be disregarded as not relevant. I've eaten here 3 times recently, each time the food has been excellent, if a little expensive. I agree with 'hockey', at the moment there is nowhere better for food. The beer is certainly well kept but I would question the choice, a bit too 'samey' for my liking. Nonetheless, I rate the pub at least 8.0. On a good beer day even higher.

| I am wary about posting a review about this pub as I fear it could easily get so busy it would loose its appeal. Suffice to say the new landlord has turned this business around after the recent ridiculous goings on. The food is superb - almost comparable with the Museum at Farnham. Good range of well kept beers. Delightful location. In my view probably the best pub for 15 miles (how far away is the Museum?) hockey - 10 Dec 2007 21:30 |
| Pulling off the busy motorway in the summer heat we wondered where the devil we were when we came across this DELIGHTFUL little pub in shapwick. The menu is outstanding and the ale is fantastic. The southafrican barman made everyone welcome and helped us to select a lovely wine. A simply charming chap. The staff were brilliant and whilst being smart and professional, made us laugh throughout service and engaged with us in a wonderful conversation about local ducks. Unfortunatly we never got to meet the owner but if his staff are anything to go by he must be a shining example. The food was simply fantastic and we shall certainly be visiting this pub again. I honestly cant see a down side to this pub and will continue to spread the message. What a fantastic dinner!!! deeifd - 21 Aug 2007 13:14 |
