Nice pub with a good atmosphere, we went for the quiz on Tuesday evenings and it was good fun! We didn’t have any food but it looks good.

We received a genuinely warm welcome from Paul and Emma. My pre-booked request to be seated by a window and away from the general area was accommodated in the snug at a reserved table without any fuss. Both Paul and Emma checked that everything was satisfactory with our meals (it was!). The portions were generous, the food was well cooked and presented and we especially loved the chips (I'm a chip connoisseur). My only slight advisory would be to check before ordering exactly which wines/beers are included in the deals on the Blackrose Main Menus because it's really not clear. We are glad to find that a pub we've known for many many years is in good hands and we will look forward to going back again.

Good food and service. Piri Piri chickens and small plate were really tasty.Went with the family and dog, good to see similar patrons. Lots of families in the garden. Nice on a summers evening for dinner.Would recommend to families with a dog.

The pub and the garden are very nice. Dogs are allowed and there is air con. Unfortunately the quality of food is poor.We ordered a steak pie and fish & chips. The pie was poorly cooked and the pastry was soggy. The gravy came out thick to the point that you couldn't even pour it out from the jug. The haddock was OK, but the chips were out cold.It also took about more than an hour for the food to arrive.Overall this could be a great place, but as it stands, I'd suggest to only come here for drinks - unless you are up for disappointments.

We booked for a Sunday Lunch. On arrival at the bar my name for the reservation was taken and a round of drinks paid for. We were then shown to our table to be told there were no roasts left. An very poor alternative menu was presented which consisted of burgers and fries! No other contact was made my the staff. Other people with bookings also arrived and immediately left annoyed. We drank our drinks and left to have a lovely Sunday Indian in Blendon. Have made a complaint but no response as of yet.
Had a really nice lunch here during the week. Sat in the garden and had a burger and chips. Food was good and hot. WARNING the loaded burgers are properly loaded with filling pouring out (get extra napkins). Good choice of food and reasonably priced.

Lovely pub, has food and drinks, wheel chair access and the staff are very friendly. It also looks amazing now inside and out a lot of time and effort went into the refurbishment.

It was my first time here. This is a proper pub as they used to be. Sadly, no draft beer was available, and the sandwiches were very poor. But I would go again.

Eat out most Sunday's and decided to give The Anchor a try, can not fault the food service or atmosphere. Sunday roast was excellent especially serving mash and roast potatoes together. Yorkshire however was small and would suggest a larger one which would elevate the roast. Will definitely be returning.

We've recently moved to the area and this is by far our favourite pub we've found so far. Food is really great value and excellent quality. Friendly staff and beautiful beer garden....really love it!
