   Although a long way to travel for us, we love it. Everything ticks the box and don’t really want to say all this as personally we don’t want too many people to know about this! Thanks for another perfect evening

   The Fish Stew is to die for! Brilliant service as always, so welcoming and attentive. Thanks for making this Boxing Day lunch a special one.

   Really lovely location and great food. Staff were friendly and gave a warm welcome. An absolute gem hidden away in the Dorset coastline. Well worth heading to.

   A lovely pub lunch experience for my 70th birthday. With two small children, one asleep the whole time, it was an excellent venue. Lovely food. And no rushing us! Polite and attentive staff. Thank you all so much.

   Great place by the sea with lots of old pub vibes. The cod was excellent and the celeriac was highly recommended also.

   Another delicious meal at The Anchor Inn. Warm atmosphere in a grey and cold day. We were well looked after, thank you.

    Firstly, The Anchor Inn is one of my favourite places in the world. I've been returning here for the passed 30 years! This review may sound a little picky that's because it is. These are the only things I can think of that are hopefully constructive. Everything else was super. Just two things that I would like to mention. The music, whilst generally good, it was very repetitive. Same genre and I think the same playlist over the 4 days we visited and perhaps a little too loud. (God, I sound old). I love music and it's great for ambience as background music, but I wasn't there to listen to it, I was there to spend time catching up with friends. Also, the veggie options. The aubergine and hummus baguette. In my opinion, was very bland. It sounded delicious but I was very disappointed. The baguette could've been cooked a little more (very cold and doughy) and perhaps a bit of spice and texture added to the filling. The rest of the food we had over the 4 days was fantastic!
