Our server was nice, but the pizza was a bummer and overpriced. The garden atmosphere is nice. Maybe if I ever come back it would just be for a drink.

I have often wandered past The Anchor and considered paying a visit, but today was the first time I had been. I wasn't a guest, so I can't speak for the hotel side, but I can highly rate the restaurant side of the business. In what is clearly a very busy venue in peak season, I found everything t9 be serene, of high quality, and welcoming. The staff are some of the friendliest I've ever come across, whilst being professional and working on a sunny day in a place like Walberswick that has limited options for evening dining, so it was busy!
From the point of booking, and the server remembering who i was, and what I'd had planned for the day, to the women recommendation (spot on btw), and the dessert recommendation, which was also a very good choice! (all from different members of staff). They all made it a very pleasant dining experience for a solo diner.
For the food, 3 courses, wine and water qas more than reasonable in process, and the food itself was a mix of simple, seasonal ingredients that was brought to their full potential. In particular the wood fire baked salmon with super salad was perfect for me. Fresh, seasonal, full of flavour. After a 25 mile hike, I left refreshed, refuelled and looking forward to returning again sometime. Thank you

Incredibly overpriced and lackluster food in small portions.

Food was excellent. One of the waiters, sort of a head one, needs to learn how to interface with customers, came across as disinterested at best

Messed up our order so waited 45m. Did give us a discount and were very contrite

What a beautiful place, just returned from a long weekend, amazing as usual, 5th year of going really nice owners and staff this is a dog friendly inn with accommodation ideal situated for the sea and ferry to Southwold

This is a very pleasant pub / restaurant in a lovely seaside village.
It offers accommodation, although we don't try that.
There is plenty of parking within the grounds, although that might be stretched in the height of summer.
The staff are very friendly and helpful.
We were expecting more seafood dishes, given the location.
However we had a very enjoyable lunch, there is a lot of shaded outdoor seating for summer days
Food prices are quite high.

No complaints as such regarding the quality of the food, other than it is very overpriced. For two of us having two mains, one dessert and two rounds of drinks was £80. I think the location is being taken advantage of . We regularly eat out in the vicinity and the Anchor we found to be considerably more expensive. Service very slow also, in that we had to go up to the bar to order due to inattentive waiting staff. Not a terrible experience by any means but would make me reluctant to return.

With only 2 eating places in the village ( not cafes), they have a niche market place of very famous & rich clientele. So there food & drinks are presented as extremely expensive to visitors.
A fish loin with handmade chips was an astonishing £20, drinks were on a similar level. Attentive service? They hovered all the time as though they really didn?t want your custom.
