The Anchor - Northumberland

Could barely get through the door for having to step over the huge dog lying in the way can’t comment on food as we were refused as we were told kitchen was closed even though a customer at the bar was tucking into his sandwich fries. Obviously chooses to serve who they want to. Do not recommend at all. Very unprofessional

We stumbled upon this hidden gem after our usual Sunday lunch spot in Corbridge was fully booked. As we were driving through Haydon Bridge, we saw a hotel across the river and decided to check it out. Upon entering, we were greeted at the door and taken to a table with a view of the river. We ordered two adult Sunday roasts and a child's Sunday roast. The meals arrived promptly, accompanied by two large serving bowls filled with mash and roast potatoes, as well as carrots, broccoli, cauliflower, green beans, and baby sweet corn. It was almost too much food for the three of us, essentially an all-you-can-eat feast! The food was delicious and we definitely plan on returning, though only on a warmer day as the restaurant was quite cold.

We had a family meal on 28/11/19 at this restaurant that is the local favorite of my parents who live in Haydon Bridge. They have always raved about this place and tonight, my brother and I can see why. We were seated in the dining room (snug) to the left of the bar where the fire was burning, creating a very cozy atmosphere. We all ordered the hake - two with crushed potatoes and pesto, and two with white wine sauce and tempura prawns. The portions were very generous and the food was all excellent. The staff were wonderful and took great care of us. We are already looking forward to our next visit.

Only here can you not use your card to pay for less than a fiver....really...most places don't accept cash anymore! Place quite full, staff not overly concerned or engaged with me. Pint OK, left quickly.

Called in to meet family and Well we've had better welcomes was accused of been druggies truth is my partner has and is recovering from throat cancer but was judged on appearance and when said what was what was told we don't care and its not there problem very rude from start to finish from customer to staff
