This makes it not a bad place to be when Lyn is at the shops!! This pub has been around since 1910 and was a combination of two pubs next to each other. The Dolpin is belived to date from 1648, whilst the first date known for The Anchor is 1768. Quite bright inside and has the usual JD's menu which is served up by cheerful staff who know how to manage a 'Husband Creche'.! My compliments to JD Wetherspoon for the high standard of their toilets. Wherever I use this chain, the toilets have always been immaculate.

Portion sizes were large and you won't be walking away with an empty belly. The choice is plentiful and the beef (even though a topside cut) was mouthwateringly tender. I had the lamb, well just come try for yourself, I left smiling :) One thing that needs a special mention; We have been to many pubs in and around London (where we live) every Sunday trying a new place for the books and I have to say (including my mother who is from Yorkshire) that the chef makes the best Yorkshire puddings we have EVER come across. They are just the right consistency, not too heavy or dough like, not too dry and crispy but just right...light and fluffy with enough spongy volume to almost classify and the perfect Yorkshire pudding. Lady's and Gentlemen, if Yorkie's are your thing - this is the place! The sweet potato fries are a great side, the cauliflower cheese was also very very good; almost crispy on top but with a cheesy creamy sauce underneath. The scotch egg is also worth a mention as this is a British classic and it is cooked to well here, highly recommended. Other things to note; bread and butter pudding was a big hit, so was the crumble. I had the millionaires cheese cake and although the most popular desert I found it to be a little rich and well, more chocolate than cheesecake. Not really a cheesecake texture but more a hardened chocolate based moose. One last thing, although there were a number of staff members we found the table service to be a little slow and needed improving... but surely this place, with these portions and those prices will be a hit everytime! Highly recommended

This is such a wonderful place where the proprietor was so warm and friendly and welcoming! We were seated next to the fireplace and had a nice fire during the entire meal - how cool was that? The service from the staff was second to none - always attentive and did not miss a beat. So about the food - it was amazingly delicious - we had: - Camembert salad - 8.5 UKL - beautifully presented - Pigeon breast with goat cheese - totally rich and salad was so fresh 7.5 UKL - Devon Crab Thermidore - again, totally delicious and well presented 18.95 UKL - Blackboard special chicken pie - done to perfection - AWESOME - (dont remember the price as it was a blackboard special) This place is way out in the country and has such beautiful scenery and friendly people. If you are ever in the area I highly recommend a visit to this wonderful pub!

I took the vicar to lunch there on a wet Palm Sunday and found it a charming place, simply furnished and with a welcoming open fire. The original small public and saloon bars have been opened up so that the pub now consists of one large L-shaped room, one wing of which is at a lower level. Being a Sunday, the menu was short - basically roast beef, pork or chicken with all the trimmings. Our Gloucester Old Spot pork with cream mustard sauce came commendably quickly and was delicious, with ample crackling, a tasty Yorkshire pudding and superb roast potatoes. There were no less than five additional vegetables, including red cabbage and parsnips, all fitted comfortably on a large square plate. Slices of crusty brown bread were served automatically, all for £16.95 each. Puddings were apple crumble, bread and butter and brownies, all with cream. We failed to tackle any of them. The wine list is short and we allowed Anna, (who with the chef, Adam Cordery are the proprieters) to recommend an excellent Rioja at £17. No service charge was added to the bill, which I find a little tiresome as you the have to calculate it, but the service itself from Anna and her team of two young girls was exemplary, and the pub was full.

The pub is the only pub in the harbour and has a large carpark so access is very easy. Using a wheelchair is not a problem as the doors are large and the interior is spacious, however upon my last visit there were no disabled toilets but the normal toilets were adequate and they allow a carer to go in with you. The pub itself is decorated inside with a wonderful warm almost mexciana feel, there are warm burnt oranges next to cool blues and the welcome you receive is very warm and friendly even from the locals and other drinkers visiting. It is a family friendly pub with children allowed in right up until closing time, however don't let this put you off it's not a rowdy noisy place with kids running about it's just a good old family atmosphere. There is a small outdoor area with a few tables which has some old ships memorablilia and is wonderful on a summers evening. There is a darts board and the whole pub is full of wonderful old heavy wood tables like you'd of found in a good old English pub of the last centuries. The bar is extensive with something to make every drinker happy and there is a good food menu which will surely fill you up and all reasonably priced. Go there you won't regret it.

The barman greeted me kindly and asked me what I'd like to drink, pointing me to their vast array of bitters, lagers and ciders. He appeared to be very knowledgable of the selection, letting me know the percentages. I took a seat in the lovely rustic restaurant, browsed the fine selection on the menu and enjoyed their free WiFi. I was after a steak (£23! A little pricey if you ask me), so I went for a Tuns Burger instead (around £10). After a 10-minute wait, my food arrived and it looked delicious. The fries and onion rings were already salted which I found a little odd, the portion was a little small for my liking but overall, the burger was gorgeous and I thoroughly enjoyed my meal. A lovely pub, generally reasonably priced and would definitely return!
