What User doesn't like about The hook and anchor:
I spent $50 for 4 very soggy, very greasy pieces of fish, did not get the 2 gravy I asked for, extra tartar sauce, or extra onions on the burger. When I called to let them know, there was NO apology, only excuses. They offered a credit but didnt explain what for and said they would remember me because I had a blue car. Do not recommend and will not be returning. Service: Takeaway View all feedback. What User likes about The hook and anchor:
