Lovely food as usual. Booking easy service very good.

We had the cooked seafood platter it was excellent. Lovely pub with log fire. Service very good definitely go again.

Lovely spot for lunch. Staff are very accommodating and friendly. Cocktails are great. Lots of choices on menu for lunch. Both enjoyed our visit. Looking forward to dining here again soon.

Great value for money ! Atmosphere.

A wonderful experience at the Blue Anchor. The food was delicious with a wide variety of options to choose from on Boxing Day. The service was also outstanding with exceptionally attentive table service, creating the perfect atmosphere for a family occasion. Would highly recommend.

Another good meal, the restaurant was bursting at the seams. The food, staff and service was excellent, very noisy but that was because everyone was having such a good time.

We enjoyed a wonderful Boxing Day lunch. The food was delicious, really top quality and the staff were wonderful, very attentive but not intrusive. Would really recommend.

Always recommend a trip to Stoked! Amazing food, service and vibes!

Staff are friendly, food is amazing and vibes are perfect - even as a meat eater, Stoked is still my go to place if going out for food in the area. Can't say enough good things about Billy, Dave and the team :)

We booked for brunch on Sunday. The staff were quite abrupt on arrival stating how busy they were. It took far to long for the order to be taken and then an hours wait for it to arrive. The order then arrived wrong Very disappointed as I have been to the Barn in the past and had an excellent experience.

We went for a pre Christmas catch up with my daughter. The food was amazing, great choices on the menu. The steak and ale pie was divine.

Excellent choice for a birthday lunch for four. Comfortable venue, friendly and helpful staff, and very comprehensive menu items. Something for everyone. Food was delicious, very well cooked and presented. Parking is easy, and although I've not visited for a while, standards all round are as good as ever.

We visited last night for the first time and was very impressed with the quality of food and friendliness of the staff

Great food & great service. Thank you

Went as a group of 10, with the festive menu. Can't fault the meal at all- Delicious! We were well.looked after too. Already planning christmas get together 2025

The atmosphere in the anchor is so friendly and the staff can’t do enough for you , the food was perfection and although we had a wait between starters and main course is was nice to catch up with friends we had not seen for 10 years can’t thank you enough will definitely return in the new year

Great Christmas Meal for 10 of us on a Friday night. Good food, great service, we will all be back. A slight confusion over pre-ordered starters was quickly resolved. Catered for Gluten Free too. Thanks very much.
