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.
Learn more about our review moderation.

Can not fault the food and service here. Best Italian food we have ever had in a restaurant . We always have a starter portion as our main course because the portions her are generous. We mostly have pasta dishes here but my husband always...has the calamari. Generous portion always cooked fantastically. If I was being picky we found the noise level a bit much when large family parties came in. Not sure what anyone could do about that? Service as ever was 5 star. Quick service of all 3 courses Lovely and hot with plates that were hot. Highly approve of them you do not always get that in restaurants we have been to recently. Looking forward to going back. Wish we could book online but can only book by phone when they are open.More

Such a great place for dinner! Pasta was as good as any we've eaten in Italy, and the portions are *very* generous! Highly recommend the seafood risotto special. Delicious!

We visit La Anchor regularly for family occasions and it’s one of our favourite places. It’s ideal for my mum who is coeliac - lots of gluten free options. We recently visited as a large group to celebrate a big birthday and everything about it...was seamless. All the food came out at the same time - no mean feat when there’s 20 people to serve!! The food was delicious, bar service very fast and service in general amazing. The waiting staff couldn’t have been more helpful, friendly and attentive. Thank you to all for a lovely meal and a wonderful afternoon/evening.More

Visited when staying locally. Restaurant was very lively early on and we were glad we had booked in advance. Good choice of dishes including specials. Some vegetarian choices but staff seemed happy to make alterations to dishes. Most members of the party had lasagne (both...beef and vegetarian) and these were considered excellent with very good sized portions. The pasta dishes also went down very well with the party. The puddings were superb and were double the size normally served in restaurants (ice cream was huge). All were delicious. Overall very good experience and a nice way to start our holiday with the family.More

Mysel,f wife and family were here last night to celebrate her 20 years service award from work Love this place, what great food and service. One thing I have to point out is that you should go here hungry, the portions are very large to...say the least. The food is all home cooked and piping hot, err nuclear hot lol. Traditional Italian food pasta pizza etc, but a lot of other choices on the specials board at reasonable prices Good selection of drinks at the bar. Still full today, in fact our daughter has just had the last of her pasta meal for lunch as they will pack up anything you cant eat and want to take home Popular so book up Will be back very soonMore

We were lucky to get it, its a very busy place for being in a small village. There were 6 of us. We ordered prawn cocktails- two portions between three of us. Huge king prawns and plenty for three. Calamari, creamy prawns and ravioli ragu...(a starter portion). All delicious. Main course we went mostly pasta and one pizza. Again very tasty all round. No skimping on ingredients either, all the prawns were Kings and the steak in the pasta Nicola was proper steak. Lovely welcoming staff and you can see into the kitchen and the cooks were on point. Heartily recommend! Bring your appetite.More

I used to eat here a lot , for some reason I’ve not visited for about 2 years, and I won’t rush back. I’ve tried everything on the menu there and I know what I enjoy. I picked my favourite today and it was simply...disappointing. Tasteless, bland and i told them I don’t believe they gave me the correct ravioli. Apparently the ravioli is bought in, not homemade, and it definitely didn’t contain any lobster. I’m not saying the chef did anything wrong, I believe the supplier of the ravioli is at fault. Bad meal. Paid full price too with no offer of refund or accountability…..More
