"Managed to get in on spec at 4pm on Mother’s Day. Great carvery, the best around imo. Service good, options aplenty and great value. Highly recommended"
5 family members arrived for a 50th birthday celebration at 7o’clock. On our arrival we went straight to the bar to order and get drinks. There were no people except our family at the bar, but we felt rushed to order and pay. The meals were very good as always and were enjoyed by everyone. Unfortunately it was spoilt by 2 plates being cleared away while 3 people still had a lot of food on their plates, staff were hovering near the table while we were eating and the second our cutlery was put down they cleared the remaining plates. This also happened to our drinks and this really spoilt the evening. Needless to say we did not linger and left at 8. There was no atmosphere and no music playing....
We have been visiting since the kids were young 2005 as it’s such good value for money We now go as a family or just the two of us The same proprietors are there and it’s as amazing ,always welcoming,great atmosphere and the food is just the best! We have tried many carveries and Sunday lunches over the years and nothing beats the Anchor inn 5* all the way Very happy satisfied customer Great selection of food for a very reasonable price
It all depends on what you value. If you're looking for decent food in large portions, the opportunity to load up on as many vegetables as possible, and don't mind the outdated atmosphere reminiscent of a 60s or 70s canteen, then this place could be a good fit for you. Despite its lackluster appearance, it is affordable and provides good value for those who prioritize quantity over ambiance.
The food was nice but the staff were extremely rude and discourteous. It was like they were doing you a favour by selling you a meal. Wouldn’t give us any side plates for our birthday cake and abruptly wanted us to leave once our meal had been finished so they could have the table back. It was their attitude and arrogance which was very very poor.

Meat and other mains where ok but roast potatoes where frozen and deep fried, other veg was flavourless and gravy was tasteless, squeezed into a corner with no room in between tables. Very disappointed preferred Toby carvery and I don’t think they are the best.
We decided to give this restaurant another chance, but we regret it. The wine by the glass is served in a small bottle with a screw top, and it tastes like cheap wine. The lack of sophistication in this place is astonishing. We will not be returning.
Went for a carvery on the Big Band Night.. The food was OK but the place lacks atmosphere. The staff aren't very friendly and were very quick at asking us to leave when the band had stopped playing. We both enjoyed the music.
The food at The Anchor in Whixley is outstanding and the friendly staff go above and beyond to make sure you have an excellent dining experience. Thank you to the team at The Anchor!
