The Anchor Pub Pyrford Lock Wisley

Warmly welcomed by staff. Lovely location next to the river. Nice decor, lots of canal boat decor very fitting. Good choice on menu. We settled for sharing baked camembert and having a dessert each. Was not very crowded but still had nice atmosphere and the food was very good. Prices were reasonable. Close to RHS Wisley.

Lovely seating area outside. Ran out of some drinks but normal on a bank holiday I guess. However there’s no excuse for the shockingly poor Sunday lunches. Dry potatoes, cauliflower cheese that looked and tasted like it was sat in the hot cupboard l day. And the vegetables, a teaspoon of peas, leeks and red cabbage and then the worst carrots I’ve ever had. The chicken was bland and dry. Shame as was very much looking forward to trying out the food here As a fellow hospitality worker, I can’t comprehend how bad the Sunday offering was.

The location is amazing. I can't say the same about the food though. It was just average, a bit tasteless, and definitely something they need to work on unfortunately. The waiter service was very good.

I HAVE visited this pub loads of times over the last 40 years and it has also been magical Set right on Pyrford lock it is a wonderful place to sit and watch the barges go through. The food is excellent and the staff are very well trained and welcoming The pub itself is clean and beautiful. There is plenty of parking opposite. The food is quite pricey.

We like the atmosphere and outdoor sitting areas, service was great, attentive polite staff. We would recommend a different varieties of food could be added to the menu. Also we couldn't see a list of soft drinks on the menu to choose. The waitress read it from tablet for us. The outdoor chairs were not comfortable. In general it's a nice place to visit on the way.
