The Anchor Inn - Carta

Great pub, lovely staff who were friendly and polite. The pub is very well run , we placed our orders and before we knew it our meals were served. Our meals were delicious and reasonably priced. The staff were a credit to the management!! Hope to visit again soon.

Staff ever helpful when we arrived,finding a good table for us. The atmosphere is very good and friendly. Great choice and food served piping hot. We will certainly be visiting here again. Liver and bacon was really nice and we felt this pub offered good food at a fair price

What a wonderful pub. The staff are so helpful and friendly, led by a very good manager Joanne Fisher. The meals are of good sized portions and each one was delicious. We all had different meals and couldn’t fault them. We will definitely eat there again when in Sidmouth. It was very busy so I recommend booking in advance. Ver carta

Popped in for a drink and planned on eating so found a table that had no indication that the table was booked at a later time. We bought a second round of drinks and were about to order food when one of the staff put a booked sign in front of us and asked us to vacate the table. Very poor standard of customer service. Not somewhere we will be going back to in the near future.

Went in for a drink and check it out for Food later that evening. Well what a wonderful time. The staff was really helpful and nice. We found a nice place to sit and check it out. Couldn’t help but stay for a second pint and book a table for the evening. 10/10 fantastic. The food was so nice and good price. Thank you for a lovely time and keep up the amazing work. Will definitely return when down your way again.

Sat at a table that was not reserved ; ordered drinks, and just as we were about to order food about 6.15pm we were told we would have to vacate the table as others has come in an wished to eat at our table. We were requested to vacate the table immediately even though we had been sat at the table for over 30 minutes without a reserved sign on it. It seems a very odd way of operating a business, most disrespectful. As locals who eat here frequently we will not be returning. Ver carta

Managed to get a table on what was a very packed Sidmouth yesterday. We'd been coming to Sidmouth a lot of times in the past and we thought we would come down for the day as the weather was great for the time of year. Had lunch at the Anchor a couple of years ago, but the food was a little disappointing, we went back there yesterday, and the food seemed much better, we both ordered lasagne which tasted amazing, big portion too! The service was excellent too, we were even told that it would be a 20 minute wait as they were short on food orders, that's honesty for you, but it felt quicker than 20 minutes when our food arrived. Thanks to everyone at The Anchor for an enjoyable lunch experience!

This pub which is owned as a cooperative by it's senior staff deserves to do well. We ate in the downstairs restaurant but it would have been a livelier atmosphere in the bar. There was a good choice of items on the menu. We both enjoyed the food we chose and the prices were very reasonable. Food orders had to be made at the bar which was a problem for a disabled diner at another table. The waitress clearing glasses insisted that she couldn't take his order at his table and made him go to the bar. He wasn't happy and the bar staff were not apologetic. That's the reason for only 4 stars. You can't let your electronic tills dictate how your customers are treated. Staff training required! Despi...
