The Anchor Pub and Restaurant

We visited on a sunny day after lunch and sat in the garden for lunch, it was pretty empty.
The food was alright, decent for a pub, good portion of meat but could do with a few more vegetables.
The waiters didn't really come over for table service, we were left waiting to order food and to pay.
The garden itself was pretty cramped full of chairs and tables so it didn't feel like the nicest place to sit outside being a bit claustrophobic.
When other people chose to smoke, being in a smaller space meant it somewhat ruined the outdoors.

Decent Brakspears pub by the river. Beer and wine were good, as was the food. Problem getting in to the pub. There are three doors. One has a handle. Turn the handle and push the door. Or ring the bell by the handle like many customers did. It's the left most door facing the pub.

Just had a drink so can't comment on food. I felt sorry for the girl who was working her first shift here. She was being trained by various people who were all telling her different things. They couldn't even agree on which table numbers were which. Family of 4 came in and asked for a table for lunch but we're told to come back in 40 minutes as a little bit too busy. Ás they left, a family of 3 passed them in the doorway and they asked someone else if they could have a table and were told yes and were seated at a table for 4. Very odd that there was no table 1 minute earlier. Both parties were asked if they had booked and both said no. Very frustrating to witness the left hand not knowing what the right hand was doing!!!!!!

Very welcoming traditional local pub in the heart of Henley.
We had steak and enjoyed it, lovely atmosphere with outside seating on sunny days.
Would recommend a visit.

Yummy food and great service! July

Popped in for an early dinner on Friday evening. Great service and food to match. We ate from the Specials menu, ribs for one and venison for two. Both were excellent. Happy to recommend it.

Had an amazing roast beef lunch, (walk-in at Noon) crispy potatoes, lovely veg, side of cauliflower cheese (unexpected), not stingy on the gravy, tender beef, perfectly cooked pink, friendly staff, great value, highly recommend, definitely my new go to for Sunday roast in Henley. Traditional pub atmosphere, lovely lunch!

Great pub right one the river with two separate outside areas. One for dining and one for drinking. Good selection of beers, friendly staff and dig friendly.
