| A year on and in many repects this place just gets better. The food is excellent at worst. Service in the restaurant is consistently good, with smiles all round. My one caveat is a gradual slide of emphasis away from the drinker to the diner. That said it is still one of my favourite places. Good beer with a mainly local and West Country emphasis. Excellent food, not cheap mind you, but quality doesn't ever come cheap. You will still be welcome if you only go for a drink but at busy lunchtimes you may well be crowded out by the foodies. Not a big place, it is in a small, out of the way, village and you will, most like, arrive by car, parking might be a problem. Very important tip,don't forget to book...... My rating remains 8. I'd like to give 8.5 but BitE won't let me. Runningdog - 18 May 2009 09:22 |
| Half of me doesn't want to write a great review for this one, as it may get so busy I would never be able to book a table again, but I can't help myself - lovely food, great menu and the nicest red wines! Great polite service - cannot fault it in anyway (apart from it's location - not close enough to my house) Vic1 - 22 Dec 2008 17:45 |
| 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.
