The Anchor Inn - South Gloucestershire

We are staying in Thornbury for a couple of days and decided to re-visit The Anchor Inn in nearby Oldbury on Severn. What a delightful country village pub it is, from the log fire burning huge logs to the smiling bar staff and range of draught beers. I chose the Fish Pie and my husband the Lambs Liver and Bacon, both of which were excellent. Thank you for a most enjoyable visit.

Stayed here previously and was very happy, but it has really gone down hill, my room is so noisy, a constant noise in the room from refrigerators or similar. No sleep! Breakfast choice in room has also reduced.

Until about five years ago, my husband and I lived in the area for some forty years and never had a bad meal at the Anchor. It was a must to visit on our trip down Memory Lane. What a disappointment! Beef curry was more like a watery beef stew with a spoonful of curry powder added at the last minute. We were glad of the generous pot of mango chutney to give it some flavour. We didn’t risk desserts. The young waitress seemed surprised at our answer when she asked us if everything was alright with our meal. She murmured “oh sorry” and that was it. Beer and wine were fine.

We’ve come here often on our way to Devon ,wont be coming again ,don’t know wether its under new management but they need to get a chef that can cook a burger ,all I got was. Soggy brioche bun full of raw burger ,also very expensive

Very poor meals served. Buttered chicken curry, luke warm and completely lacking in flavour. This was just chicken with curry sauce poured over. Second meal was Described as ‘chicken in lemon and herb’ but again no flavour and cold. Very sad as this used to be one of our favourite places to eat.
