Husband and I went for a quick bite to eat. Had no reservation but as we were quite early they happily obliged and let us have a table.We both had the burger with Stilton and chips.The chips were chunky just how I like them and the burger tasted amazing. I'm just sorry I didn't take a picture before diving in to eat it.

Went to the anvil with friends for a meal and to be honest I cannot wait to go back. Service was the best owner and staff so welcoming and friendly in fact nothing was too much. As for the food I had the fish n chips and it was the best. All I can say is I highly recommend the anvil as myself and my 6 friends thoroughly enjoyed our visit

A proper English country pub. Exceptional food and top notch craic! Matthew and his team have created the most authentic country pub atmosphere, it?s a place where everyone is made to feel special and welcome, nothing is too much trouble! 10/10 would recommend whole heartedly! One of, if not the best local pubs in the area! Top marks!

Excellent food, and situation normally would merit 5 stars, but the evening was completely spoilt by the chef having a Gordon Ramsey tirade, F-ing and Blinding against a young member of staff, in the kitchen clearly audible not only in the restaurant but outside in the garden. Such a shame, that our evening was spoilt in this manner. Ramsey belongs on the tele, not in real life.Food & drinks: Excellent but totally spoilt by the chef's behaviour.

I have to confess it is rare that I walk into a pub or restaurant and think there is nothing I would change... well there is absolutely nothing I would change about this place. Great staff and service. Dog friendly too. As for the sirloin steak... it's cooked on a barbeque still grill and it's the best steak I have ever tried... This place is an absolute must for anyone visiting the area... but you must book if you want to eat We will Definitely be back

Found this place by pure accident, a very fortunate accident. Staff are fantastic and friendly, dogs are made welcome and good is amazing. Irish smokie starter looked and tasted great. Main courses were also fantastic and then dessert, again was lovely. I have seriously over eaten but enjoyed every minute and calorie A real must do place for great food and friendly staff Can't fault anything. Definitely worth making a special trip to.

Without any doubt the very best fish available anywhere. So good we visited twice in the same week and passed many excellent venues on the way. Fresh line-caught cod and haddock cooked perfectly, crispy batter and juicy fish. The steak pie is also excellent! A very friendly team and one of our favourite places to eat. Deserves to succeed.

Amazing best fish and chips - the scampi was also the best I?ve ever had. Plenty of choice for children?s meals. All of our plates were clear at the end. Will definitely be back and I live an 80 mile round trip away 100% worth it. All of the staff were friendly and served with a smile

Would definitely recommend a stay at the Anvil. Very comfortable room, great location. The owners are very freindly. We had meal in the pub in the evening. Which was really goodas was the breakfast the next morning.
