The Anchor in East Cambridgeshire

Very expensive for what it offers. Expecially for families. Maybe because it was Easter Sunday As far as the location is concerned it is worth visiting

Popped in for lunch, pleasantly surprised yo see a named chef on the menu and nice interior decor. It raised our expectations.Staff were friendly and helpfulWent into the beer garden to eat as it was warm and sunny. Witness was lovely but we have no clue as to why she didn't bring cutlery and condiments before bringing our meals.Food arrived and looked good, even if the fish batter looked a little well done.However, smashing the garden peas does nothing to enhance flavour or appearance. It does let them get cold much more quickly.The double width triple fried chips may or may not have looked better on the plate, depending on your perspective, but they didn't eat nearly as well as standard shaped chips, they were way too dry with too much inside and not enough outside.The fish was nice, the batter was very crispy and crunchy but we couldn't taste the cider in the batter.Was it worth £15? I don't think so.And if we had approached the pub from the car park we may not have gone in at all. The mass of dead fridges and empty cooling oil containers and other detritus is distinctly unattractive and the beer garden needs weeding and sweeping and also a pressure wash..Sadly, the expectations raised by the chef name on the menu were not met.

Sunday lunch treat. Presentation amazing. Atmosphere and staff also great. Only issue was food was only lukewarm/cold. What a shame as was 8 of us.

Really lovely, sophisticated food plus great pub staples under the new chef. I had beautiful mussels as a starter that were delicious and perfectly cooked. It was a generous portion and would do as a light lunch. I also had the Caesar salad which was light and tasty and presented with a modern spin. Fish n chips looked great. Lovely bread - again massive portion. Will be back again soon.

Roast dinner tasty but stone cold on cold plates. Had to ask for veg 3 times. No serving spoons. Very poor plate of food. No one came to table asked if everything was OK. Poor Would not revisit. Offered free deserts when you don't eat desserts.

I went to the anchor in Cambridge for a lunch with some friends and we absolutely loved it.The service was very good and quickly and the food was well presented and tasted amazing. I had the vegan burger and was by far one of the best in town.We will definitely come back.

Not sure why the low reviews have been coming in. I went here for my mum's birthday recently and we had a wonderful time. We were greeted warmly by the staff who took very good care of us, and went the extra mile to make sure we were satisfied. The food was of excellent quality and the presentation refined. Will definitely be recommending this place to others!

Poor service and London prices for tiny portion and incompetent staff. In their defence the tiny portion of beef tasted ok and the veg was ok but for 20 a portion it was a bit rediculous. The waiting staff sadly grew tired of us after we expected service on par with their prices. Roast dinner for 20 quid in the back ends or nowhere I expect more than 2 tiny slices of beef, the covid hit everyone but to be expected to line these fools pockets to make up for it is insulting, and the so called chef put his name on the top of the menu, they need their heads given a shake, they are no where near where they place them selves.I dare you you to order wine there 😂5/10 would be generousHonestly don't go there, it needs another new ownerThe Sunday roast would have been fair prices at £6 plus veg as an optional side, and the gravy was bisto, faux posh harvester at best, wine was a joke and to reiterate, the staff were terrible

Incredible food! We went a couple months ago and was blown away. We had the lunch menu and the food was reasonably priced and amazing! If you haven't been you won't be disappointed! Very friendly staff too.

Love this place, grew up in Burwell and seen it change over the years. I've been here twice since its been with the new owners and the food is delicious and felt i could trust the chef with my dietary requirements which he adapted with no problem
