Ben TaylorSeptember 1, 2018Right by the river so you can enjoy the views of the punters and take your beer into Mill Pond green
Mert KaracaAugust 12, 2014Great pub by the river. But all these punting boats are distracting. Also not so good for food. Eat somewhere else and come here for a pint with a view.
Martin BurkeDecember 16, 2013Had two nice dinners at the Anchor last week, one as a couple and one with a large group. Everyone loved the food and the service was fine. Location can't be beat if you're staying at the Doubletree.- Carl GriffinJuly 30, 2016Wonderful riverside pub. Great place to enjoy a drink whilst watching people punting.
Gisela FregosoFebruary 23, 2018Great place and really cool beer. The best place for chating after a tour in Cam.
Alastair HiltonOctober 21, 2014Well known Cambridge pub by the river. Watch the tourists fall in from their punts whilst sipping your pint...
Tom BrewerAugust 23, 2014Great food. Nice outdoor seating by the river for drinks and good window seats upstairs
- Alastair HiltonDecember 16, 2015Ten billion tourists seem to occupy every seat every day. Good riverside setting, but nothing special other than that
AJFebruary 14, 2016Disappointing experience. Half hour to serve just chips. The girl at the bar so slow at service. Add a barman who was super rude regarding transaction issue in their system! Can't recommend...
Adrian BarkerApril 17, 2013Lovely ambience but food is terrible. Never order the burger. Cooked to a crisp. I couldn't get my fork into it.
Stephen HarrisonJune 30, 2012Don't bother with food, waited 45 mins for child chips and cremated burger
- Stephen HarrisonJune 30, 2012Don't bother with the food; waited 45 mins for cold chips and a cremated burger.
Steve ReederSeptember 2, 2011Food may be good but waiting an hour for three burgers is not good service!! Nil points guys!!! "o)
IreneAugust 6, 2013TERRIBLE service. Got relocated from a supposedly reserved area, but was never attended after that.

"Nice little pub in a good location. The fish and chips are great! Mulled wine in the winter and dog friendly all year!"
