The Old Anchor - Carta

This is a small pub that has seen better days. The staff were friendly and helpful. The food was very tasty. Battered fish and chips. Made from their own batter. The food did take a while but it was hot and good portions. Veggie breakfast brunch was a good choice.

We had a lovely.lunch there. The locales were so friendly and the staff more than helpful. The pub welcomes both kids and dogs even provides games and colouring stuff for the kids and treats for the dog. Can't wait to go back again and try another of their ales selections

We visited on Saturday night for a couple of drinks whilst heading into town. It was fairly quiet in the pub and it hasn’t got a very good range of ciders. Plenty of gins though so the ladies were happy. Could be a much better pub with a decent range of ciders and a bit of a brighten up inside. Ver carta

This charming pub has s under new management. Now called THE NRW ANCHOR. we ordered pies veg chips they said they had run out of mash). The carrots were swimming in water. The broccoli was yellow w it was doing over boiler. The only edible things were the pre made chips and pies. It was dreadful and too an hour to serve. We decided in all our travels this was the worst late Bach we have ever had. Ever.

Welcomed by Jackie a very friendly bar manager. Pretty setting on the Thames. We only stopped for a quick drink but would return again for sure. An authentic pub not full of tvs and slot machines. Would benefit by keeping the mooring exclusive for patrons as we had to moor quite a way away. The moorings are always full of boats which do not move on. This impacts on passing boating trade! Would return here for sure.

We visited on Saturday night as a pit stop whilst heading into town. There was around a dozen customers in the pub so we were served nice and quickly. The stock the Koppaberg gin which my wife wanted to try so that was a bonus. They have a good range of ciders including Thatcher's Gold and fruit ciders. The atmosphere in the pub was friendly and the service nice so on the whole it was a good experience. They are dog friendly too. Ver carta

As a riverside pub in the picturesque town of Abingdon, we were quite disappointed to find that they weren't serving food on a Saturday they only do roasts on Sundays. The cheery bar manager greeted us on arrival and seemed genuinely disappointed to let us know that. It is a clean but sparsely decorated pub with a small courtyard at the side. There was a meat raffle. The overall feel was of a locals' pub rather than one to appeal to visitors and tourists.

We were there for a late breakfast recently, thinking the chef we knew was still there. But unfortunately, he wasn't, to our disappointment. He's moved on to the White Horse in Abingdon. The breakfast was average kind of what you'd expect from an average foody pub. We certainly won't have breakfast there again. I'm vegetarian, so on the plus side I had veggy sausages. My husband's breakfast was the good old English style, but it looked and tasted average.

When I booked the table, the chap I spoke to could not have been more helpful. Yes there was a table for six, yes we could add an extra person, Mothers would eat for free on Mothers' Day, yes there was an alternate menu as well as the Sunday roast and if we called a couple of days before, he would cook anything we wanted! With a good collection of positive reviews and a few negatives we could surely ignore, what could go wrong? Well, please don't ignore this and read on........ Ver carta
