Absolutely spot on as always never disappoints on every aspect

Such a lovely place to go. Our dinner was delicious and loved the fire. Really busy but the girls had time to look after us really well. Couldn’t fault it and definitely recommend to everyone

Sunday lunch for two birthday people! Great service from a smilingly cheerful team, fab roasts, delicious desserts … happy vibe. What’s not to like? We’ve been before and will aim to go again. Huge Thanks, Blue Anchor Team!

Lovely lunch in a pleasant atmosphere.

Great place to meet friends. Terrific food with friendly in a lovely atmosphere. No rush to chuck us out when we had finished giving us time to relax. Had some banter with our servers who were great fun and made us very welcome. This was our second visit in two months because there are some great choices on the menu and will be back again soon.

Family meet up for breakfast. Lovely atmosphere, great food and very friendly staff.

Great breakfast. Cosy atmosphere and excellent service.

The ladies here are an amazing team! The food is great too.

We held a family gathering , 18 of us and it was fantastic. Communication with Cheryl was spot on from start to finish. Everything organised exactly as planned. Food was delicious and staff friendly and helpful. We had such a wonderful time and can’t wait to go back next month. Thank you Hare and Hound. !

Fab lunch really tasty haddock chowder and falafel dishes. Lovely staff and nice setting.

Excellent Sunday roast. Lamb was tender and roast pork plentiful. Usual trimmings with huge Yorkshire puddings. Staff personable and made us feel welcome. Quick service with food piping hot. Cauliflower cheese side dish best ever. Will revisit !

Sunday lunch at our favourite venue. Who knew a garden centre restaurant could be so good. Excellent service, great food and a lovely atmosphere.

Noisy atmosphere on a Saturday, but that would be expected due to being busy. Food came out quick but felt it had been in a hot plate before serving as not ‘hot’. Mushrooms were watery. Coffee was incredible and cakes looked amazing.

Great place to meet friends for a great coffee and catch up. Can’t review the food as none eaten today.

We arranged a surprise meal for wife with the full cooperation of Chris and the staff at the Blue Anchor. There should have been 14 of us but ended up with 12 on the night. Food was very good and reasonably priced. Nothing was too much trouble for the staff in the run up to the big day or at the time. We will absolutely be back, thank you all at th Blue Anchor.

Took my husband for a birthday brunch the food was amazing and good value for money, the setting is lovely along with the staff.

Have enjoyed going to The Barn for years, good atmosphere and lovely staff. Unfortunately recently there has been limited vegetarian choices and the meals are a bit to fancy.

The meal was fantastic and very friendly staff, we have been looking fora nice restaurant to have lovely meals in ,and we think we have now found the place,,will definitely be back ,thank you very much ,,
