| Lovely looking pub in a wonderful setting, but have to agree this is a place mainly for those eating, with a table reserved. Has never had much space for drinkers. But this is due to the layout of the building, which I am glad to say, has not been altered to modern tastes. I.e large standing area to maximise the number of drunken teenagers you can pack in...... Visited for the first time in ages and found little changed. Nice pint of Gales Seafarer. Shandy chica enjoyed her shandy as well. captaineric - 4 Jan 2012 16:37 |
| Visited on Friday afternoon, had an iffy pint of Otter Head which was changed without question for an excellent pint of Otter Ale. Nice location and a very interesting building. Had the steak and ale pie which was huge and made very good eating. CaptainDave - 23 Aug 2011 12:06 |
| the Anchor, well, what a gem, for us Real Ale questers it was a great find...providing you have an afternoon sesh.. I know this is Beer in The Evening, but unless you're eating, and have therefore booked a table, you will be treated like a second-class citizen during the evenings. We tend to use pubs for drinking in, strange as this may seem... We counted 36 tables, restaurant AND bar, and every one was reserved, this occured on four different occasions, so now it's aftenoons only. A great shame, as it is a beautiful pub, in a beautiful location. rioathmusV - 16 Feb 2011 17:57 |
| Fantastic setting, but first impressions count, there is a sign saying something about no children allowed in the bar - however one of the bar staff clarified this as babies in pushchairs are not permitted. The menu is too extensive, it took several minutes to find the non fish dishes on the menu. The menu is far too complicated. Going for a non fish dish was for some of our party a bad mistake - they ordered a pasta dish whish was almost a tin of tomatoes poured over some pasta - too much tomato taste and very little else. I had the gurt big pie, which was excellent. The barman / waiter was very friendly and knowledgeable, the service was good, prices were average. If you're a fish lover, or you enjoy sitting outside a pub by the water, then this place is a must, when in the Starcross Area, otherwise, there are probably better places to eat. gizmo2brian - 28 Sep 2010 14:59 |
