Not first visit to eat, but first time for a roast dinner, which was excellent quality. Always enjoy the food here, there’s plenty of choice and it’s all very delicious. Surroundings are very pleasant, service brisk and the staff all friendly and welcoming. Good value, too.

Had a great meal at The Blue Anchor.. the service was amazing & well informed of dishes.. a very cosy atmosphere & quite romantic to be perfectly honest. The only negative was myself & the table behind us had to put our jackets on as we were sitting in the overflow restaurant which was just as beautiful as the main restaurant but was quite cold … I had a draught on my leg where there was a gap in the wall .. I didn’t see any heating like the main restaurant that had a log burner that was the only negative… however would definitely recommend & we will return but will ask for table in main restaurant..

My son decided on birthday breakfast at The Barn for his 16th birthday. There were 14 of us altogether. The Barn requested we send our orders 48 hours before hand. Although this was done, there were still some mistakes- we asked for no mushrooms on one plate and there were still mushrooms there and we also asked for one of the eggs to be well done as my sister is pregnant and this didn’t happen. And the plate had to be sent back. The staff were amazing and constantly ensured we were all okay. However, we were slightly disappointed with the quality of the food, especially the bacon, which was hard and the mushrooms which were flavourless and rubbery. At £13-£15 per plate, you expect everything to be on point.

Unfortunately most food was cold and not cooked properly. They serve tap water which has got horrible taste

8 of us had a really lovely lunch on Saturday afternoon. We were in a private dining area which was perfect, as we had kids and a new born baby with us, which meant we could relax and enjoy our meal peacefully, without worrying about disturbing others. The food was great, and the service was even better. We had such a nice waitress who was friendly, kind and helpful. We will definitely be returning soon.
