The Anchor in Colchester

Popped in for lunch. Great quality food, well presented by professional, polite, attentive and classy staff. Lovely location too. The only things I would change and this is being super picky: replace the sachets of sauces and change the music from the teen pop to something more representative of the cross section of the clientele.

Excellent provincial restaurant. Good food, lovely serving staff and nicely decorated. I had beautifully cooked lamb. Friend had bean burger.. advertised as with chilli but despite a sensitive palette she couldn't detect any. Will visit again without doubt.

Fantastic. Very high quality food, both in flavour and presentation. Varied seasonal menu, but not too large of a menu to be a concern. Staff were great. Clean throughout, plenty of seating options. Good price for the overall experience. Definitely recommend.

DEFINITELY recommend The Anchor for great food, lovely atmosphere and top class customer service. Looked after by Hannah..who does her job brilliantly! (very patient with our 2 young girls)Well done to ALL the staff on duty tonight, thank you all!Will definitely be coming back in the future!! 5* service 👍🏻

Really nice! Four adults and a child and were were seated in our own private room. Food was excellent as was the service. Not cheap but worth the money. Would recommend.

The atmosphere in the igloos is wonderful. A nice private space to enjoy dining with friends and family. The steak was great, the service wonderful, and the wine selection was good. @spiffingtravels

The starter of cauliflower wings was very nice, but the main of butternut squash Moqueca was a bit of a let down. A bit bland, uninspiring and watery, although a person I was with who had it too, and on another occasion said it was better on that other occasion, so I'm thinking I might have had a bad batch.The sign posted parking is awful. It's a muddy field. Fine maybe if you have an old landrover, not so for a brand new car.

Went there for the first time ever this afternoon very smart tidy beautiful place plenty of room Outdoors too, service a bit slow for the meal but understandably so because it was very busy but it was fantastic food some of the best fish and chips I've ever had 🌟 and lovely smart friendly service.

Wow wow wow! It’s my birthday and the wife has brought me out for dinner!Couldn’t have asked for a better experience.We had a pod booked out for 2. Aircon and a heater if needed.The food. Well… where do I start!!!It all went…. Except the shared fully loaded chips! But they were boxed up!We’re stuffed!!!!Roman (Captain Jack Sparrow) our waiter and everyone else that helped out were amazing. So kind and didn’t rush us at all!100% RECOMMENDED!!!!!!

Really great place. We were late due to traffic, but they still managed to seat us. Food was great, amenities were clean. Staff was super attentive and nice. Food took a little longer but to be fair, it was busy today. Would recommend and come again.
