| The previous review is just so true to what we found when we visited the Anchor. From the outside the place looks like a cosy traditional village pub, but however once inside and in the small and very strange bar area the place just feels soulless. Ugborough already has a dining pub in the ship , what this village needs is a locals boozer sadly that is now never gonna happen. 4/10 montie49 - 17 Aug 2016 21:22 |
| I'm delighted to see the Anchor open again after a number of years, not least as I've never been convinced by The Ship - that The Ship was my mum's favourite kind of says it all. Three parts to the operation: 1. B&B that need not trouble us here. 2. Restaurant: been once. My experience was a good one, of well cooked food, at decent prices, in gastro-pub vein. Very nice room and really quite enjoyed it. 3. Pub: been three or four times. Ah... The Anchor is now owned by the people who have the very chi-chi South Sands boutique hotel near Salcombe. South Sands is frighteningly upmarket, and - having been privileged enough to stay there a few of times - quite lovely if you can stretch to it. And the Anchor bar has been South Sanded to within a very inch of its life: great in a boutique hotel, far from it in a village inn. Every vestige of character has been removed and/ or covered in Fired Earth paint and it is essentially an anodyne waiting room for the restaurant. I so want to like it yet, although the beer is OK, just can't warm to it. It needs scuffing up, wearing down, scattering with agricultural or nautical knick-knacks and many more tables, seats and stools installed (the centre of the room is an aching void in which - if you can't sit or lean on the bar - you are forced to mill around in aimlessly). So: marvellous to see it open, good restaurant - and just hoping that the bar evolves into something a little less contemporary and something a bit warmer. grovetown - 3 Dec 2013 09:01 |

| nice little pub but don`t go there if you want to have a chat, the landlord is to busy reading his paper and the big screen is a put off in such a small bar!! odm - 18 Jan 2010 16:42 |
| What a fantastic little country pub. The food, value for money, the faultless friendly staff and service is second to none. We had a brilliant sunday lunchtime carvery and will be no dought regular visitors. This pub is a must. snaberton - 30 Aug 2009 17:33 |
