Nice gastro-pub in a village regarded by many as the prettiest village in Lincolnshire…read more The pub actually faces its village, and the church, away from the main road. On the main road, is a large car park, which opens onto the pub's beer garden and the rear entrance. The pub itself dates to the 17th Century and is grade II listed. The facade is pretty as a postcard, with creeper growing over the stone walls. Inside, a fairly thorough makeover gives it a more modern feel, with white and pastels complementing the wooden furniture. They have an a la Carte and fixed price menu. The offering varies from sandwiches and light bites to full meals. I had the garlic mushrooms with grated Parmesan on brioche toast (£7.95), friends had the Locally Sourced Ham, Free Range Fried Eggs & Chips (£10.95); and Beer Battered Haddock with Chips, Peas & Tartar Sauce (£13.95). Although it's a bit pricey, everyone enjoyed the meal and the quality of the food was very good. Service was reasonably quick and efficient. They serve a good range of real ales, too. Recommended.

This place is amazing if you are in the countryside of UK. It is owned by Jaime Oliver's parents…read moreand is close to Cambridge and it is the perfect weekend-get away. Jaime visits this place sometimes since he lives near by. We stayed here two nights and we had several meals. The head chef was very nice, he met with us and we always appreciate that when we travel. One morning my taxi did not come to pick me up and Jaime's dad asked one of the chefs drive me to work, such a nice gesture for being a guest here. The food was amazing, we loved the home made traditional British steak pie served with mashed potatoes, the pork chop, seafood grill, beef liver and may other dishes we have tried. I have posted several food pictures to share the experience. The restaurant is old and charming, the ceiling was a little low, but rustic with a very nice homey ambiance. Lots of antique decorations displayed inside the restaurant. To check into the B&B you have to go to the restaurant bar, brilliant, I loved that. The rooms of the B&B are nice, good size, cozy and it truly makes you feel like you are in the British countryside. We even got invited for afternoon tea by the local cricket team. If you are in the area this place is a MUST.

Okay, okay. This review needs an update!…read more I think we were initially put off that things were done on their terms: Partial and strictly adhered to opening hours, and the need to book! (The restaurant gets very busy). Having said that, each time we've sat at table, the staff have been friendly and very accommodating. We've eaten at the Anchor three times now, and it has been excellent on each occasion. There's no doubt about that. The menu was different each time - with interesting inclusions such as quail and venison (There's fish and a couple of vegetarian options too) - and the food is always exquisitely prepared and presented. The plate perhaps comes a little meat-heavy though, and maybe the fayre is a tad on the unadventurous side. You're going to need to leave room for a pudding though! They are to-die for! There's an extensive wine list, but I like a pint of bitter, and that's poured from a barrel behind the bar in the old fashioned way (no choice of beer though, unfortunately). At £60 for 2, it's for special occasions for us, but it's lovely to go for a walk by the water and then indulge the taste buds. It's lauded by: the good pub and good food guides recommended by Michelin the mobile food guide local secrets network Sawday's and our next door neighbours, who reckon it's the second best place to eat in Cambridgeshire. ;)

The decor is traditional and cosy with a bar serving a good range of drinks. The menu has the normal gastro-pub type fare but the standard of this food is what brings us back time after time. It is all delicious and cooked properly, not just bunged in the microwave. The staff and owners are friendly and accommodating and we were particularly impressed when we had been let down one night and arrived late at the pub as a family party of 8, wanting a meal. Although officially they had stopped serving food, they got the chef to cook our meals. And it was to its usual high standard. Perfect!
