The Anchor Inn - Fenland

If you find this vast, flat almost treeless landscape of ploughed black fields and scattered villages starts to unsettle you, if it makes you wonder what life would be like lived out here. If you start to speculate that tales of fenland weirdness may be...true… then just turn up min before opening at the Anchor in Wimblington for the landlords one man impression of the pub scene in ‘American Werewolf in London”. Is hospitality minus the hospitality, fenland weirdness, who knows?

Had arranged to meet family here ahead of my Uncles funeral, well upset as we all were on the day it was compounded by the out right rudeness of the landlord, we had arrived early mins before opening time, and he was reluctant to...even let us sit and wait inside , and then when we asked if we could get a soft drink or coffee he just kept saying we are not open until we felt very unwelcome and decided to leave, and then to cap it all he challenged us about where we were going to leave our cars !!! , I would stick to your breakfast club and OAP bingo as you have no hospitality skills at all and your rudeness was a disgrace.

Visited at when pub wasn't busy. The starter I had was garlic mushrooms which were disappointing. The batter surrounding the mushrooms was hard and difficult to cut with knife and inside was some liquid and mushy mushroom not my expectation! Not sure if they...had been cooked from frozen?? On the other hand my chicken curry based dish was great and my partners minced steak and onion with onion gravy and chips was lovely and appertising. Many types of pie are on offer with choice of gravy and choices of mash or chips. Would recommend both dishes. Publican came over to chat to us which was a nice gesture. Pub got very busy for a Thursday so would recommend booking. Will visit again when in area. Note.. Dog friendly (on a lead) difinitely a plus for us next time. Staff were generally friendly.

Mine host is rude and the food is not good at all. How he keeps his job is beyond me. So sad the way he is running to pub that used to be the 'heart of the village '.

I purchased a Groupon offer for 4 people to have lunch. We waited for a short while until a young lady appeared. She apologised for not being at the bar when we first got there. She was very welcoming and friendly . Our orders were...given to the landlord who had a lovely dry humour, appreciated by all of us. Food was well cooked, hot and tasty. This will NOT be our first and last visit. Thank you for a good experience.
