The Anchor Inn - Menu

Always have a great meal here with great customer service and tasty food. Would recommend for a laid back environment, and good entertainment when available.

We were looking for somewhere for lunch on a Monday in mid October. Seems it’s not so easy. In between peak season and half term. And a Monday. But this pub was open. Good service. Excellent food. Good prices

Wonderful place to stay in the heart of Cowes. It's the ideal spot for a weekend getaway. The room was exceptionally clean with a fantastic shower. The staff were welcoming and kind. We will definitely return for another weekend trip in the near future.

What an absolutely amazing place. We always visit this place when we visit IOW. It's the first place we go before we explore another pubs and bars while exploring Cowes. The ambience is lovely. Cosy pub, with great friendly staff. Definitely recommend to visit when they have live music, amazing atmosphere.

Passing by the pub while walking around the town for the weekend, Thought we’d try the pub as we liked the looks from the outside , Ordered food and a couple drinks and , Oh my the food was incredible not a single fault I can find with any of it , The Steak and fuggle pie was the best pie I’ve ever eaten and also along with the classic burger these are the best two piece of food I’ve eaten , Service was also outstanding very friendly staff very helpful. HIGHLY RECOMMEND

Popped in lunchtime for beer and some food. Cask beer range and quality was quite good. The burger and chips was a bit of a mixed bag. The chips were absolutely fantastic, and the bun was a rather nice sourdough one. However, the beef patty was very disappointing. It had a rubbery, texture and the flavour was sadly lacking. It was also too big for the bun. It said on the menu that it was from their butchers, in which case maybe they should find a new butchers, or better still, make their own patties.

My husband's workmates chose Anchor Inn for a leaving do. Good choice. Firstly it's such an historic pub, you can imagine the old sailors sitting chatting about their exploits, but secondly its bustling, full of energy. A great band played, and rather than drive home we booked a room. Lovely large room, spotlessly clean, with ensuite bath and shower, tea making facilities and probably one of the most comfy beds ever. The only drawback although a minor one is car parking but we managed. This little gem can be recommended for somewhere to drop anchor for a night.

We decided to leave the restaurant because we were feeling cold, which is something we've never experienced before, not even during the energy crisis. It was a first for us. The security staff refused to shut the doors, claiming that the bar staff had requested them to be kept open. However, when asked, the bar staff denied this. It is important for the restaurant to get their act together and ensure that the place is kept warm. Many people were leaving and making comments about the temperature. The food was fairly priced and good value for money, but it is crucial to ensure that guests can sit somewhere warm and enjoy the restaurant, especially on a cold day.

We booked a table of 26 for Mothers Day at 1:00pm and requested that we could be in the stable bar together due to children and babies attending, then a few days later we were told we’d have to be out by 3pm for the blues band to set up which was fine so we agreed to move our booking to 12. We turned up to find that the two blokes of the blues band were in the room the whole time with us while we ate, they were scowling at us, moaning about us to the bar staff, and making a lot of noise waking up my 3 month old multiple times. Other mums didn’t feel comfortable breastfeeding with them watching over us, and they thought they had the authority to tell our kids off for enjoying themselves in a...
