Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Amazing roast at the Crown & Anchor today - our first visit but definitely not our last. They were very accommodating with a veggie roast for me with swapped items so it was just how I like it. And all completely delicious. Crispy roasters, giant...yorkies and they didn’t overlook the roast parsnips! Can’t wait to go back.More

We both ordered a blt asking for the bacon to not be too crispy. What we got was stone cold congealed bacon in a cold bun and tepid scraps of fries. After pointing this out to the waitress there was no apology. I also booked...the table in advance and was not informed the conservatory would have scaffolding inside.More

Sunday roast - literally the best pub roast I've had in a long time and the best I've had in Shoreham EVER! Reasonably priced, generous portions with roast potatoes that are actually crunchy, crispy AND fluffy, succulent meat, a proper nut roast (I'm so sick...of Wellingtons) and cauliflower cheese where you can actually taste the cheese (a rarity these days). The broccoli and savoy were not overcooked and were a welcome addition after being served only root veg at another nearby establishment the week before. Friendly and helpful staff - even my dog was made welcome, with water and gravy bones. Please keep this team in the kitchen for ever, like slaves for my Sunday roast requirements - lol. No pictures because we were having a no phone day, but it was beautifully plated too.More

The pub has recently got new management, so we thought we’d try here and we we had a lovely meal. Large terrace overlooking the river with plenty of seating and shelter, expansive and reasonably priced menu. The pub was spotlessly clean, the staff were polite...and friendly, and the food was absolutely beautiful. Will definitely use here againMore

Really, really disappointing. This place used to serve really great, reasonably priced food. We went as a party of 6 for an early dinner on a Saturday night and it was almost empty of diners. The evening DJ eqpt was being set up around as...we ate. The fabric chair seats upstairs were really dirty,, badly stained, sticky looking. The service was ok, the starters were fine but the mains were really poor. The sea bass was dry and tasteless - borderline inedible which is such a shame for a lovely fish and the rare steak (which we had a whole conversation about) came ‘well done’. The two pizzas were loaded with huge quantities of cheese which is maybe a personal taste thing so possibly can forgive that. We used to love it here, admittedly it has been a while but we won’t go back again, it’s a shame. I hope it can get better.More

The wonderful staff at the Crown & Anchor in Shoreham came to our rescue on Thursday, 29-June-2023. We had been booked to eat at another local restaurant in the town, but we had been on receiving end of very poor service, so we left. But...we were all still ravenously hangry so we wandered around looking for somewhere else to eat. Amy and Georgia really looked after us and made sure that we were suitably well-fed and watered. Bravo to them. Highly recommend this establishment. We liked it so much that we are going back with different pals on Saturday.More
