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. ;)

Enjoyed a brilliant evening with a large group on the back deck. We sat by the river for ages and…read morespent quite a good bit of sterling, but all I remember are the good times! The service is timely, appropriate, and friendly. Atmosphere: Inviting, modern with a classic English pub decor, and unique layout. The place has a cool buzz about it, too. Restuarant side of things: More to offer than your average pub grub with some quantity and quality sized plates. We ate the standard fish n chips with mushy peas and it 'hit the spot'. I think it might've been pricier than other dishes I've had in a pub, but given the location and Cambridge itself explain the up-market prices. Bar wise: Good selection of beer, wine, spirits, and cocktail readiness. We mostly drank proseco (by the bottle) on this evening. There is not an outdoor bar area, so if you dine outside you will need to go back inside to get your drinks. What makes this place so special though is the 'easy life' it offers. Sit outside in the sun (should you be so lucky to be here in the summer and on a sunny day) and watch the people float on by in their punt boats, enjoy the views, gaze into the water and out across the river....... more or less it's peaceful, relaxing, and lovely. But in the rain or sun, there's banter to be had with your best mates!

I heartily recommend the wraps which are reasonable in price and taste damned good. Price wise when it comes to beer it's about average, with a cold drink setting you back between £2.50-£3.

You have to order from the bar, both food and drinks. The menu is varied, with an interesting variety of pub fare. I went for the standard fish and chips. It was a very good filet of fish, perfectly battered and fried. The chips were pretty good as well. The accompanying peas were kind of blah. Others at the table had a burger (seemed good), the beef pie (also good) and salmon. Not sure if I would go out of the way to come here but if you happen to be in the area, it's a good spot to catch a drink and a bite.
