The Crown & Anchor in Hambleton

Friendly staff brilliant food and good beer. Even had a carrot for our dog.

Smashing wee local pub that happens to do great food. Busy, even mid week, so book in advance. Lovely staff too.

Just visited what is arguably our local pub to try the highly rated food. We had our dog so didn't expect to eat in the restaurant but were unceremoniously told they were fully booked.How do you book a table in any bar? No reserved signs etc. There were maybe 25 people in the whole pub (that I saw) and most were out front.This review is about disappointment rather than experience but I've never booked a table for a bar meal in my life - that includes pubs in places like Leicester Square!

On a busy Saturday evening the staff made us feel that we were the most important diners and the food was exquisite. Is this really a local pub?

Friendly staff food very nice and relaxing

Well cooked dinner and very tasty, but slightly small portions needed a extra Yorkshire and a bit more roasties otherwise perfect

We called in on Friday night after setting up at a local campsite. The pub was extremely busy (which was lovely to see). The food was delicious & everything we had hoped for, service was good given their waitress had rung in sick.Would definitely return again if we were in the area.

This is a pub not a restaurant, neither a gastropub... The place has a good carpark, friendly staff, and clean loos!.My burger was 10/10, the chips were 2/10. my wife had scampi,,, The decor is tired, but you could tell it was spotless. The prices are very good value, hence 4 stars increased to 5. We will eat there again if in the area.

Lovely people, nice atmosphere and nice food. Well presented food, good specials board. Open fire and good decor. Only X2 real ales on when we went, but looks like there are probably 5 on when busier. Garden to rear of pub looks good for summer and parking at the rear also. I'll be going again

Not wanting to blow a small fortune on mediocre food from the motorway services I had a search for local pubs and came across the Crown & Anchor and I’m glad I did.Wonderful food at a fraction of the price to the above alternative and a cosy pub with real ale on tap. What’s not to like!
