Husband and I went for a quick bite to eat. Had no reservation but as we were quite early they happily obliged and let us have a table.
We both had the burger with Stilton and chips.
The chips were chunky just how I like them and the burger tasted amazing. I'm just sorry I didn't take a picture before diving in to eat it.
What a fantastic restaurant, out in a small village where all you would expect to find is a local pub selling beer & a pie if your lucky.
The Anvil is a diamond find, friendly attentive staff, great atmoshphere & above all, fantastic food at fantastic prices.
Out at a small restaurant in a village you would expect to pay mortgage prices for your meal but here they charge better than reasonable & they certainly do not skimp on the quality.
Trust me, if me, mr fussy loved it, you will too.
Went to the anvil with friends for a meal and to be honest I cannot wait to go back. Service was the best owner and staff so welcoming and friendly in fact nothing was too much. As for the food I had the fish n chips and it was the best. All I can say is I highly recommend the anvil as myself and my 6 friends thoroughly enjoyed our visit
A proper English country pub. Exceptional food and top notch craic! Matthew and his team have created the most authentic country pub atmosphere, it’s a place where everyone is made to feel special and welcome, nothing is too much trouble! 10/10 would recommend whole heartedly! One of, if not the best local pubs in the area! Top marks!
Just called for my second visit, and I can't express how good the staff are and the food is cooked to perfection ,
We will be back very soon
What a super pub, the staff are so friendly and the food is superb. Highly recommend this place.
Excellent food and service, the steak pie was excellent and the steak cooked to perfection! Highly recommend.

Thanks for a great evening and excellent fish and chips!
The new management are fantastic. We stayed in the cottage at the back for a night and it is so beautiful. The pub is in a lovely location and the food and drinks are good quality and reasonably priced. Breakfast next morning was really nice and all in all we loved our stay. Will definitely be back
Would definitely recommend a stay at the Anvil. Very comfortable room, great location. The owners are very freindly. We had meal in the pub in the evening. Which was really good
as was the breakfast the next morning.
Under new management.
Absolutely outstanding food and excellent service. The decor is amazing in every room along with a very cosy real log fire in each room warming the whole place up beautifully. The food is out of this world and excellent value for money, the owner and staff couldn't do enough for you and make you feel extremely welcome throughout you visit. Looking forward to the b&b rooms to be ready as we will certainly be visiting again.
Thankfully a saved, re - born village pub with restaurant, offering fantastic unpretentious food.
Lovely attentive staff. Passionate owners serving locally sourced ingredients, with a menu to suit all palettes. Good wine, and gin selection. Well kept beer.
Got to be a winner. We will definitely be back.
Lovely food and fantastic hosts! Thank you Matthew and Mandy for making my parents stay so special, you really went above and beyond. You have been so kind throughout their stay. Myself and husband will be looking forward to our stay in your cottage in September. Take care and see you all again soon.
Love the Geordies 😉

Popped in for a drink whilst visiting Sawdon and was pleasantly surprised by both the beautiful decor and the ambience. We didn't eat but the menu looked lovely and we are planning to go back for food next time we are in town. Could easily loose a few weekend afternoons in this pub.
Called in by chance for lunch, not a day for food but offered us a steak sandwich, salad and chips, delicious. Great welcome and will definitely book a table in the future!
