Okay, okay. This review needs an update!…read more I think we were initially put off that things were done on their terms: Partial and strictly adhered to opening hours, and the need to book! (The restaurant gets very busy). Having said that, each time we've sat at table, the staff have been friendly and very accommodating. We've eaten at the Anchor three times now, and it has been excellent on each occasion. There's no doubt about that. The menu was different each time - with interesting inclusions such as quail and venison (There's fish and a couple of vegetarian options too) - and the food is always exquisitely prepared and presented. The plate perhaps comes a little meat-heavy though, and maybe the fayre is a tad on the unadventurous side. You're going to need to leave room for a pudding though! They are to-die for! There's an extensive wine list, but I like a pint of bitter, and that's poured from a barrel behind the bar in the old fashioned way (no choice of beer though, unfortunately). At £60 for 2, it's for special occasions for us, but it's lovely to go for a walk by the water and then indulge the taste buds. It's lauded by: the good pub and good food guides recommended by Michelin the mobile food guide local secrets network Sawday's and our next door neighbours, who reckon it's the second best place to eat in Cambridgeshire. ;)

From great to greed in one year? It's just not what it was anymore. We went every week for the…read morepizza lunch offer, for roughly two years, but not anymore. To start with, it's suddenly not a pizza anymore, but some kind of pita. Then there are no vegetarian options in that lunch offer to choose from (last week there were at least three vegetarian pizzas, now it's one vegan pita), and to top it all, the price went up from £5, roughly a year ago, to £6, and now in one go to £8. Just to be clear, no problem with a little price increase here and there. Everybody does that, but it should be done somehow remotely in line with actual inflation. In roughly one year, from £5 to £8 means around 6O% more, while the national inflation rate is 2%. Well, perhaps you are paying your waiters now 60% more? Or did the price for the pizza/pita flour went up by 60%? Or, perhaps more realistically, are you simply trying to maximise profits by checking out how much you can take before you loose too many customers? Well, looks like the old game that many pubs lost for good. My suggestion: Let's stop going to the Salisbury Arms for the rest of this year. Perhaps hardly anyone bothered and the pita is £12 then, or many bothered, and the game stops? Hard to say, but we give it a try. See you in 2025 - perhaps. And yes, there are alternatives: Fireaway pizza lunch offer? Great pizza - good price, and so clearly bigger than the Salisbury Arms lunch offer pizza was, i.e. you could share. The Regal - pints for under £3, and Ramen Noodles with an alcohol free Erdinger for £9? Impressive and delicious! Clearly better than the Salisbury pita!
