Blue Anchor Pub - Ashford

So nice to be able to go back to the Blue Anchor, lovely food and very reasonably priced.

Visited this pub on a bank holiday afternoon. Despite there being a lot of people in the pub, mainly in the outside area, the staff took time to chat to us, and look after us. The food was deliscous, and my vegan daughter was provided for. I could not recommend this pub more highly.

The scallop starter was very good, the French onion soup was ok but the steaks were excellent! We had a nice evening in ok surroundings.

It was quiet when we went, but that must have been due to the hot weather. We were served very efficiently and the food was unpretentious and delicious. The staff were very courteous and helpful. I would highly recommend this pub.

We were staying for two nights in the area and decided to eat at the Blue Anchor the first night as it was within walking distance (and a pleasant enough walk from any direction I would think, the roads to the village are very quiet. The service was welcoming and we enjoyed our meals enough on the first night to return the second night as well. We both had crêpes the first night and on the second I had chicken forestière followed by a delicious orange liqueur sundae and my partner had a cheese and bacon burger which he found to be very good, particularly for the price. The only reason I haven't given five stars is because, due to the dining area and bar being close together and open to each other, it was hard to have a romantic dinner with the loud conversation and occasional language wafting over from the regulars in the bar, although if I wasn't trying to have a romantic dinner this wouldn't bother me at all, and it is always nice to see people supporting their local pubs!
