We are returning customers and I have to say this has to be one of the best restaurants in the UK. The service and cooking is outstanding paired with some of the finest wines I’ve tasted. In a word ‘fantastic’

Faultless. Just… faultless. Rarely are all my expectations met- and then exceeded. Well done and high praise to all the staff who not only were fully present and attentive but even went out of their way to recognise potential disruptions to our meal so that we were fore-warned and prepared; mischief truly managed; disruption potential delays were fully averted.

This is the best pub in Granchester! Very friendly, relaxed, helpful service and warm, welcoming hospitality. We enjoyed the steak and chips and the chicken skewers, padron peppers and haloumi from the grill. Huge garden next to the grill with lots of tables and it wasn’t too busy when we went on a Saturday in October. Excellent lunch out!

Three old friends were visiting Cambridge and it was up to me to find somewhere good to eat. My choice of the Anchor proved universally popular and I would not hesitate to recommend it to all and sundry. Great food and atmosphere and reasonable prices. Top marks.

We experienced fantastic and exceptionally welcoming service. The food was exemplary, featuring precise presentation and mouth-watering, delicious flavors. It stands out as one of the best dining experiences we have had in Cambridge. The immaculate cleanliness extends throughout the venue, perfectly matching the 5-star presentation of the entire establishment. We look forward to our next visit.
