I really can't understand all the negative comments I visit the rope and anchor with members of my family,I have never had any reason to complain about the staff on the contrary I have always found them very friendly and the service prompt though at busier times any reasonable person would understand that service would quite obviously be a little...

I have dined here many times before only felt today this place needed a bad review! Very slow service, had to repeatedly ask for things, staff miserable and made you feel like you shouldn't ask for eg' extra gravy! Prices ridiculous on the Sunday roast as my daughters was pretty much the same size for half the price, in previous... More

We visited over the bank holiday weekend. The weather was fantastic, the garden was full of diners and a lovely atmosphere. There were only 2 people serving behind the bar, so ALWAYS a queue to get served. At one point, what looked like a manager was cleaning an unused area of the bar, rather than helping the 2 staff -...

This was our second attempt to visit here as the first time we were told it was too busy and we would have to book. We did as asked and only wished it was too busy this time. We were shocked at how bad this place is run for such a great location that was only renovated within the last... More

I went for my wife's birthday having been recommended by friends. A busy warm may bank meant that the pub was quite busy. We were met by a friendly host and all seemed well. This is the same menu as the plough an Flail in mob rely where the service is excellent. Here the waitress was a bit at 6s... More

The food is served by clearly unhappy staff, everything seemed a chore. When the food arrived it was disappointing, the portions are small and lacking in flavour. The pub has an excellent location and OK drinks in the garden.

Me and my 2 teenagers arrived on spec on a Saturday teatime. The food was not good. Burgers were ok but the Ribeye was woeful for £18 - really tough. But more concerning was the amount of flies everywhere big & small. We were at a table next to the window & the sill had dying flies on it. Looking... More

I visited the Rope and Anchor after looking for somewhere different for a Sunday lunch meal out with the family. We drove past and stopped to take a look, deciding to try it out. There are 5 of us in total, 2 adults and 3 children (aged 7,6 and 3). The venue and setting itself is excellent, looks very posh,... More

Been here many times and have left very positive reviews but our most recent visit was a massive let down. The food was poor value for money and the service was not good at all. Possibly due to inexperience but the waitress really struggled to do her job. If it is that she was new the. She needs to receive... More

Briefly visited a while ago when it was packed, so did not write review! However when it is quieter it is delightful on a sunny evening! However be aware, when the sun does appear, this is a very popular venue. Car parking can be a real pain - having to park way down the lane on busy days! So go... More
