Such a shame they want £20 up front to reserve a table. Unheard of! We went to the Ivy and they don't ask for payment to secure a booking. Imagine trying to get that back if you have the cancel the booking. Shocking!

Order a medium rare fillet steak, the chef clearly has no training in how to cook a thickly cut steak. Dry, burnt and inedible. The chips were poor too, greasy and exploded when you stuck your fork in. The mussels were obviously a microwave pack and not the best either. 12 of us went and most said they wouldn't go again.

Had Christmas meal today (17th December). It was absolutely amazing. When the menu said ‘with all the trimmings’ they weren’t kidding. Everything was also cooked to perfection. Thank you for a memorable Christmas dinner. We’ll be back soon.

Chose the Crab and Anchor for our work meal this year and they didn't disappoint. Pre-ordered from the christmas menu and usual menu for 13 people. Food came out hot and delicious. We all had a great night.

The wife & I have been coming to The Crab & Anchor for many years & have always enjoyed an excellent meal. The menu is pretty extensive, beef, chicken, pasta, sea food & vegetarian so there really is something for everyone. We usually visit during for weekend lunch, we don’t book & have always managed to get a table OK but I suspect it may be busier during the evening. Located tucked away behind Morrisons in Southwood Village Centre. Great for large family groups or as a couple. The staff have always been polite & friendly. This is a great local independent restaurant & so much better than the pub chains. We will return again soon :O)
Family Sunday lunch celebrating the birth of our grandson five days ago. Staff were excellent and very helpful. Great food and atmosphere and no spare tables. Thank you.Kid-friendliness: High chairs provided.

OMG what a find!!!, I had possibly the BEST fish and chips I’ve ever eaten, lovely and fresh, with herbs running through the batter, huge portion ( which regrettably I couldn’t finish), lovely atmosphere, friendly staff, definitely worth a visit

Had a lovely meal there this evening. Food came quickly and large portions. The French onion soup and fish pie were so good.
