Crown & Anchor

This pub /​restaurant was a good find.
We called in quite by chance after seeing the sign on the main road. We were pleasantly surprised, the place has been recently refurbished in an attractive polo theme (liked the polo mallet curtain rails ;-) and offers a good menu at reasonable prices.
The owner fitted us in (prior to another booking) despite being fully booked. Service was prompt for obvious reasons but not pressured. We had a section of meals in our party of 9 and all were happy with our choices. Fish and chips was a generous serving with minted peas with cider and interesting addition. Sunday lunch was accompanied by red white and traditional carrots that made for an interesting talking point (the red — beetroot coloured carrots were delicious) could have done with more mash though but still very tasty. The quirky jam jar glasses and blackboard booking names places added to the overall experience.
Highly recommend it!

We have been here several times since the new couple, Christine and Kevin, took over and it’s lovely. They are very welcoming and the food has been very good, if you go on Mondays it is 2 for 1 on grills and we had 2 excellent rump steaks last time we went. It’s a pity they are not busier as they really do deserve to be, the place is cosy, warm, clean and nicely decorated. It’s unfortunate for them that the place has changed hands several times in the last few years and the reputation had suffered as a result. They also have a pool table, not so many pubs have now. Go on a sunny evening and sit outside by the river and watch the sunset, glorious!
