Fantastic place, had 3 x rib-eye steaks, all requested to be cooked differently & all came out cooked to perfection! Gorgeous homemade brownies for pud. Lovely staff, great atmosphere. Highly recommended.
Such a charming little pub. We came across this place on our first night in Swanage. The staff were immediately friendly and made us feel welcomed. We ordered our dinner, which was from the Christmas menu and we were not disappointed. First came out warm bread with mixture of butter and oil for dipping (was so lovely didn’t even take a picture) we ordered the burger with the Brie and OMG my taste bud have never experienced such a perfect burger! The cheese cake… I couldn’t get enough! It was perfect.
It’s my birthday so out on a pub crawl in Swanage so lots of pub reviews to follow . So nice pub, modern inside great attitude, nice beer and fair price. As I say happy to recommend
Recently had dinner in the anchor during our stay in swanage, and to say I was impressed would be an understatement. The menu was varied, with vegan options. I had the belly of pork, and it was not only cooked to perfection, but beautifully presented too. I would not label this as "pub grub" as the quality of the food was way beyond that. Top marks too to the table staff, who were very attentive. My new "go to" place to eat whenever I'm next in swanage. Highly recommended.
Chefs kiss!!!
The food is absolutely amazing. Unfortunate that we had to wait an hour as only one chef working due to circumstances. we were offered free drinks to compinsate (large wine and a double gin). Gypsy in particular was very apologetic, her customer service was above and beyond. We were so impressed with the food that we booked for the next night and she got us in. 2nd visit the pub was very busy. But food came and again was amazing!!
Would highly recommend.
Whilst visiting Swanage called into The Anchor. What a lovely pub. The food was exceptional. Share the Nachos - but wished I’d had my own as they were so lovely. Next had the risotto which was unbelievable with the chargrilled chicken and my husband had the Lamb and red wine Anchor pie - which again was delicious. Cannot recommend The Anchor enough.
Absolutely fantastic worth every mouthful. My steak was cooked to perfection. Fantastic menu brilliant chef. The staff are fantastic. TC is brilliant . Will definitely be back. Would recommended to anyone. 👌
Eaten here a couple of times recently and both times the food has been excellent, the service very good and the overall experience very enjoyable.
I would like to see some vegetarian food (not vegan), although the vegan options were good; but that’s the case in many places nowadays.
Did feel a little squashed in, but didn’t detract much from the evening
Certainly the best pub in town for a meal.
And finally....
What happened when the news reporter fell into the water?
She became an anchor...
This was our first visit to Swanage and to the Anchor Inn.
Firstly - Swanage is lovely, beautiful beach and coastal walks. We stumbled across The Anchor Inn by chance and so glad we did. Great tasty food, value for money and a warm welcome from the landlord and staff. We will be back to both Swanage and The Anchor Inn.
Swange gets so busy at the weekends, but the staff were amazing despite being rushed off their feet. They squeezed us in and the food was lovely. So grateful 🙏 thanks very much.
A very nice pub with great beer and food. Had a giant party come in and take up a large table and yet the staff were able to handle everyone easy. Loved it!
Centering on food more now and not the pub it was, but good beer and service.
Lovely meal sea bass delicious, mussels highly recommended. John very helpful and welcoming. Friendly and busy pub. Highly recommended
Unfortunately was closed Monday and Tuesday else we probably would have eaten there before. Staff were welcoming and service was good. Really enjoyed the food.
Nice little pub with a friendly welcome. Nice menu , no pics of food , demolished too quickly but very well cooked and generous portions
Great service, great tunes. Tasty food. Thank you.
Staff were friendly, dinner was exceptionally good for the price.
Kudos to the chef 👏
