"We went for a 60th birthday Sunday lunch and while staying at a local farm for the weekend and we were rather disappointed. We had already called to pre-book as we have 2 dogs and an 18month old. We were shown to a small table where we really struggled to find somewhere for the dogs to lay and then had to wedge the highchair in too! The staff made no effort to apologise for the space or see if we had enough room. Just told us we may need to shove in a bit more if she needed the table behind us. We usually find pubs put us in a little area or nook if we pre-book so we feel much less awkward! We then all had roast at £24pp which came up very fast! Great news for us as we had the little one with us but it turned out it was probably because it had been sat there for ages. Potatoes and Yorkshires were so hard to cut as they had been sat there for so long and the meat was chewy! I had an espresso martini which was also quite bitter and very average (I’d rather have had wine) and we had a dirty water glass that we had to ask to be changed. The desserts were ok and the cookie dough was actually very nice although it was £10 a go! Due to the nature of the building our table was on a slant and the chairs were all wobbly on the tiled floor which made the whole meal quite uncomfortable. The waitress was very friendly and gave us good service but we were disappointed that we had chosen her for our lunch and won’t be going back!"

10 of us had a really lovely birthday celebration meal at the Anchor Inn. Good food and pleasant service made the evening special.

Cosy and comfortable. Lovely and attentive staff. Food was great. Great choice. I had nachos and steak frites. Friends had pie and fish and chips. No complaints.

We re-visited the Anchor once again and was pleased that the food was of the same high standard as before. Friendly staff and an attractive riverside setting, a perfect evening.

Went for a lunch with friends. Sat by the river, our dogs were made very welcome, offered bowls etc. Excellent good and prompt and attentive service (but not over attentive that some places can be)

Lovely cosy pub on the banks of the river. Food was great, my husband had the seafood trio and I had mussels to start followed by steak, the portions were just right for us. Would love to visit again and sit out by the river. To conclude, cosy pub, good atmosphere and great food

I had a delightful experience at Anchor Inn Nayland for Sunday lunch. The picturesque river views added to the charming ambiance, making it a wonderful setting for a leisurely meal. The company I was with only enhanced the enjoyment. The food was an absolute highlight – each dish was prepared perfectly and left me thoroughly satisfied. Highly recommend the Anchor Inn for a memorable dining experience! We didn’t have the roasts as it was quite hot and wasn’t that hungry, but they looked amazing!

Nice location but the food and service was disappointing. Firstly the waiting staff member had no clue what beers were available and our drinks order took ages to come. Two out of the three drinks ordered were wrong .We had to chase the original drinks order several times to eventually be served . We were asked to order meals before our drinks arrived . The portions were extremely small and overpriced. Deserts £8.50 £10 each, tiny and poor quality . Then they left us without spoons to eat them with . It was frustrating having to keep getting up to find staff to sort out all the issues and then be ripped off for the experience.

Drawn to this venue by the small plates and oysters on the menu, and proximity to the A12, we popped in for lunch one Sunday afternoon. The car park was well signposted but then is a short walk away from the pub, which is a little confusing! The pub is on the riverside, and it was a beautiful day so we chose to sit outside by the river. Staff were helpful and provided table service. They are dog friendly inside as well as outside, but not upstairs, so if you are booking a table with a pups, be sure to let them know so they don't place you upstairs! We had some oysters first; interesting they came pre-topped with the shallot vinegar/chimi churri (normally you get a side pot). They were large...

I live in Nayland and I really want the Anchor to be a place that welcomes villagers all year round but it still disappoints me regularly and so tend to chose elsewhere rather than support my local which is such a shame. I've been in the village a long time, and so it's really sad to see the local pub evolve into a pub you are only really welcome in if you are going to have meal (unless you are a hardcore daily regular) The service has improved, and the staff are generally ok and try hard although they rarely know what beer is on. What I really want is to be able to sit at a table outside and just have a drink. Not a deckchair. The last few occasions I've been (after the lunch rush or very e...

"Usually my wife is the one who fills up the comment cards, feedback forms and writes few words on tripadvisor of the place. Usually we are a very happy, cheerful and satisfied customer most of the times. But after this dinner at the Lakes Restaurant I had a feeling I have to write a review by myself. As I am an Italian person I love food (to eat and also to cook) enjoying wine, sweets and coffee too... So I have to say if someone is really passionate about to have a good dinner this place is not the right choice. Bar is lovely, bit outdated but does the job. We discovered on arrival the bar person was already half drunk speaking and laughing even more loud than the guests! And there was a young guy in blue vest, white shirt was kind of annoying too who could not stop saying to every single person around him he is very busy has to look after a big function but till we left the bar after our aperitif he was still hanging around and chatting to his co-workers. Not a problem at all, I thought someone else will looking after his guests... Lakes restaurant looks nice, good atmosphere but the problems are just started here... Sat down, got menus in hand bread arrives in few minutes, before we even opened the menu and had a look... Nice quick service, bread sliced, slightly warm, looks fresh and tasty! Lets choose some wines, then order some food. Wine arrives by a very professional waiter, Hugo. he looks smart, friendly, helpful and knows how to serve wine in a professional way. Well done! After this we had a look on the menu and realised the choices on the menu are very poor not seasonal and overpriced but as we are already here lets eat something! Starter takes ages to come, really disappointing, tasteless food, wilted salad and supermarket part baked baguettes croutons, and just doesn`t look appetising. Finger prints on the plates everywhere. Main course coming after a long wait too looks like a pub-grub, lukewarm, lots of gravy (I guess made from gravy cubes) very far from 2 rosette standard, very amateur presentation. But at least plate warmer was working as my wife`s plate was extremely hot, but not the dish, eh! Very disappointing food £14 apparently home made burger, must be kidding, please tell me which part of the dish was home made. I had the same somewhere else in a simple pub just few days ago when I went for a quick meeting with my colleagues and had a meal with just for £7 included a pint. We got offered to see the dessert menu but I was really sceptical to see the choices as I thought they must be the same quality as the previous courses or even just simply bought in from a local bakery so we said no to the waiter. Luckily he was trying to convince us to try some so as we were still pretty hungry so we accepted the challenge. I have to say that was the best choice of the night as they were so delicious and they looked amazing Vanilla brulee and Boxford farm cheesecake. The dinner was really disappointing, never thought food can be this bad at Stoke by Nayland, don`t think we would like to come back ever again or might be just for some wine and some sweet treats or might be just for the spa treatments. Food experience 0/5 but giving 5/5 for desserts so that makes 2/5 in overall Service 1/5 for the funny welcome at the bar plus the food runner had no idea what is going on but 5/5 for Hugo the Spanish waiter so that is 3/5 in total. Price 2/5 as the quality is not matching with the price. We still left some tip and did not complain on the night to anyone as they were major problems not just a little mistake which can be solved right away with a free coffee or a 10 off the bill. We don`t want to receive any free meal or our money back after this review and if management are still happy with everything just please ignore my opinion."
