"Family meal03/09/23 at The Hope Anchor pub, South Ferriby for a special occasion which was spoilt by the number of flies in the restaurant. I even had to ask a staff member if they had a fly swatter and they were going to fetch a fly zapper which never materialised. Whilst waiting for starters to arrive we had killed 3 flies. Starters were eaten off a slim piece of slate (as was the fish and chips main course) when a decent plate would have been better. I asked staff again if they had a fly swatter and another table was set up elsewhere in the pub, which was no different. Sat at the new table we killed a further 2 flies. The meal was spoilt by having to constantly bat flies out of the way, landing on our cutlery whilst trying to eat (had to grab spare from a neighbouring table). Main courses consisted of steaks, fish and chips and roast beef dinners with side dishes. Sadly, we could not eat all of the side dishes due to flies landing on them. The roast beef dinners were nothing special as the beef was chewy (I have cooked better myself) as was the steak on the bone but the fillet steaks and triple cooked chips were nice. It was not a pleasant dining experience at all and we declined to entertain dessert and any more drinks as we could not wait to leave. We would definitely not return or recommend this venue at all. Overall, very disappointed at what should have been a nice family occasion and the food was definitely NOT Michelin star quality."
