Lovely breakfast as usual. Friendly service. Set me up for the day.

Thoroughly enjoyable meal for the Steak Night. Excellent food, great service. Thanks to all.

We had a lovely meal at The Blue Anchor yesterday evening, We had the Special Steak Menu , and it was delicious. We shared the Buffalo Chicken Wings to start , which was very tasty and the blue cheese dip. We both had the RibEye steak , with chips and a glass of wine, And we shared the trio of gelato on chocolate soil, The whole meal was amazing And the service was very good So very happy, thankyou .

The staff were really friendly and obliging and a lovely atmosphere.

Never been disappointed. Lovely staff and cakes are delicious !

I have visited this cafe many many times. However recently I have become lactose intolerant so was intrigued as to what was available on the lunch menu. I basically had the choice of one vegan item (Buddha bowl) or chips. I put dairy free on the booking, however no one mentioned that when taking my order so that seemed a bit pointless The food has always been fairly good. Slightly over priced compared to other similar establishments. It’s a popular cafe and always seems full. The cakes are always good

A party of 6 people. Our meals were excellent and enjoyed by all. The staff were lovely.

Had a midweek late breakfast. Lovely staff & food was delicious.

The Blue Anchor never disappoints delicious food and great service.

Our small group of 10 were warmly greeted by staff on the venues Christmas Party Night. Lots of opportunities to purchase drinks at our table and at the small bar in the party room. The food was served hot with plenty of it and very tasty. Everyone enjoyed their meals. It was lovely to move into the party room dance off all the food. Brilliant value for money and all said that they wanted to return next year! Thank you Blue Anchor for looking after us and for making the booking easy to arrange FABULOUS!!

The service was exemplary & the restaurant is very nice. However, the beef on one of the dishes was very fatty & difficult to cut. Starters & desserts were really nice.
