We opted for the Rope and Anchor, a topsy turvy pub/restaurant hidden away one street back from the Quayside.
We arrived at 1.45 only to find there were no tables. Luckily someone finished soon after so we were able to have their table which was quickly cleared and cleaned.
Food is ordered at the bar. A straight forward roast with choice of 6 different meats with options to have 1-6 portions of meat!!!
The 40 minute wait for food seemed rather long but the owner did come and apologise as a party of 10 had ordered just before us. I think it was just a case of bad timing on our behalf as another table who came in much later was served immediately after us. The table area was a pleasant relaxed environment with a great 80s soundtrack in the background.
Boy was it worth the wait though! Huge portions that were served piping hot. 3 different freshly steamed veg, 3 big roast potatoes, huge homemade Yorkshire pudding and a mass of quality meat. I had turkey, he had beef and chicken. Both were served with a side of cranberry and horseradish sauce respectively. If I had one tiny negative it would have been the packet stuffing. It just didn’t fit with all the other lovely fresh ingredients. I've got a lovely recipe on my blog handed down from my nan ;-)
Great little pub just out of the town centre. Well worth locating. Good pub grub at reasonable prices and friendly staff.
Visited yesterday and was very pleasantly surprised at the quaility and the portion size, left feeling stuffed to the gills! Very friendly staff and a lovely place to pass an hour or two ;)
