The Blue Anchor Inn — Restaurant in England

It is very rare I would give a 5 star rating as I always find something to slightly mark the point down, but from the moment we walked in the pub, we felt so welcomed, it was almost as if we could have been the only people in. There were quite a few people in the bar and pool table area which gave the place a good atmosphere, sadly we were the only diners in the restaurant area but the noise from the bar made it feel like we were in the same room. This is a pub we like, simple but done to the highest quality, and you could see with the staff they cared for it so much, they were never still if not serving they were cleaning. The menu is what I call good pub grub, a real treat for the eyes that poncy grilled lettuce leaves with some jus, this was proper food at a proper price too. I hadn't had scampi for a long while so I knew what I was having immediately the wife and kids chose from as a say a great simple menu, but done so well. Why complicate things? Do good food well and that's just what they do. Desserts hit the spot too. The place was really clean, especially the toilets, and we signed to where they are. This was a great find and will definitely be back when we are in...

What a lovely pub which is very friendly and community based. We arrive only to find we'd picked an evening where the local community were all celebrating one of the customers birthday with an "open mike "night. The whole place was humming with a lovely vibrant atmosphere , so much so that we asked for a menu and they had so many vegan and vegetarian dishes to choose from, we stayed for a meal and the whole evening instead of just a few drinks (We ate our prepared meal on the Thursday) The meals were scrumptious, and great value, the music was exceptional, some very talented folk and the staff and service excellent. Well done Blue Anchor, you made our stay memorable and we can see why your locals support you so well. Thank you for...

Went to 'test' this pub out as our usual venue nearby is closing. We were not disappointed. Leanne at the bar was charming and helpful and explained that everything was home-made. Alex served us tomato soup (yes, home-made and delicious) with a very generous crusty roll, impressed because the roll had been heated perfectly and the soup bowl and plate had been heated as well as the soup. Sign of a good establishment in our opinion. The decor and furnishing were very pleasant and very clean, coffee was good. Also impressed by the huge car park and lovely lawned area as well as 2 separate picnic areas nearer the pub. Felt very comfortable here, Fraddon is lucky to have such a great pub and we shall definitely...
