Heard good things about this place and went for a joint anniversary dinner. It had good parking and a nice atmosphere in the restaurant. We had starter such as the pork scratching with apple sauce (light and tasty), pork belly (nice) and fish thermidor which was also good. I had the plaice served on a nice bed of mushrooms and with a side of hash brown, really nice dish and crispy hash like a chunky chip. We had the rump of lamb on a bed of broad beans, this was a good portion and cooked perfectly. My wife had a veal escalope (slightly salty) served on a nice creamy mash. We finished the meal with their strawberry ice cream with small meringue balls (recommended), a slice of blue cheese, a bottle of the English sparking wine and Brouilly. I might have given this a 5 star but had to wait a short while to order our wine other than that I would return as it was a nice experience.

Such a lovely experience! The food was unbelievable, just so so tasty! Gorgeous vino, and friendly staff make the whole visit just so worthwhile! Highly recommend the Veal & the sticky toffee pudding is to die for! A fantastic venue for a special occasion as pricey but 100% worth it! Thanks x

Another fantastic lunch, great service. Without doubt the best we've had all year. Thank you Dave, Mike and team at The Anchor. And thank you weather, you were glorious out there today.

A really excellent meal. The stand out dishes were our starters - beef carpaccio which was excellent and an equally good trout in Thai green curry. So good in fact that I forgot to take photos and just ate them instead! Did remember to take pics of the main course though.

Simply put…lovely tasty food… I cannot fault the food. I would love to go again. I’ve been back for lunch and I had some lovely food again….and I feel too full in a good way for dinner…. I had something from the a la carte and the December lunch menu. Please see my new photos .. but I forgot the photo of the dessert .. it was sponge with ice cream.

The food was exceptional. Attention to presentation and tastes were delicious. The daftest thing happened as we finished our main course, instead of coming back to ask us what desert we'd like, the ladies chose to clean a sticky label off a window with what smelt like paraffin! As the smell permeated into the restaurant, I changed my mind about staying. We requested the bill and quickly left. Why, oh, why use such a strong smelling liquid to clean a window with guests eating? Such a shame. Tainted our overall enjoyment of the evening.

Lunch for four was delicious. Mackerel/ pea/ mint, and homemade humous & crackers as starters, artichoke hearts and plaice for mains, with hash browns and French beans. Would have liked more veggie choices. Wide selection of wines, gins and alcohol-frees. Charming front of house team.

We celebrated a friend's birthday here and had an amazing time. The food tastes amazing and the presentation was impeccable - no less than a fine dining restaurant. Staff was friendly and very patient with our messy kids. Very well recommended!

Absolutely stunning food, the best meal out me and my partner have ever had. Perfect portions, beautifully presented, wonderful blend of textures and well priced. Great service from all of the staff, too.

A really nice Saturday lunch We did the 3 course set menu for £28. The food was delicious and freshly made. The service was really good with a friendly team. Really nice location and also dog friendly. Definitely worth the visit. I am sure we will be back to try the seasonal rotating dishes.

Went here for dinner. Lovely friendly staff and delicious main course. Food was well presented as well. Service tailed off a bit after the main course. We were given the desert menu but then no one came back for our order. But on the basis of the main course alone, it's well worth visiting.

Great menu, food was delicious and beautifully served. The staff were great and looked after us very well.

A great pub serving some really interesting food that has been beautifully cooked with care and attention.

Excellent food and excellent attentive service too. It was our first time as a family and we will be going back again asap. Quality food but the staff add positivity to the whole experience too

Great food, great service, nice atmosphere. The pork belly starter was delicious and the pavlova dessert was lovely! Would definitely return :-)

What a lovely experience my partner and I had at this superb restaurant. So refreshing for the chef to choose a smaller menu of interesting and quality food over vast choice. The recommended pudding wines were a perfect accompaniment, the starters and mains delicious and the staff were friendly and helpful. Will definitely return soon.

Sadly our experience at The Anchor was very disappointing. The staff were rude. Not a smile or a welcome. I didn't want a large meal, so I ordered a starter. The starter (beef brisket) was the size of a 50p size. It was a joke. The waitress, knowing it was my main, did not advise me of the size of the portion, nor suggest a side. The wine was forgotten and we we politely enquired about it 20 min later, it was rudely plonked down in front of us. The staff clearly felt they were doing us a huge favour letting us eat at the restaurant. We will never go back, it was a terrible night and definitely not worth the 12.5% tip they just added to the bill which they didn't deserve at all. Rude rude rude staff.

Came to visit RHS Wisley and wanted a good place around to have late lunch. Found it via the Michelin Guide and I have to say we throughly enjoyed the lunch. Friendly service and really delicious food. The best mushroom soup I have had in a long time! Well done to the kitchen xx

Accomplished food - absolutely loved it. Beef carpaccio - can go so badly wrong in unskilled hands - but this is wonderful. Guinea fowl with crispy skin and juicy meat. What’s not to like? Stunning food - setting a little Spartan but I don’t care about that. Would recommend if in the area, and also within a 30 mile drive

Came thinking this was a local pub... left realizing it was a Michelin Restaurant. The food was great as well.

Excellent up-market food in a tastefully decorated ancient pub. Sensibly priced drinks and extensive wine list. All the food is excellent, but the desserts in particular are a triumph.

What a little gem of Ripley it is! We went for an afternoon walk today and fancied a little stop on the way back. And what a treat this pub was 😀 We only had a drink each and a few nibbles but we thoroughly enjoyed our time there. Food was good quality and presented well. Homemade humus was yummy and polenta chips were a perfect combination of soft and crunchy! Phoebe and James looked after us and made us feel very welcome, including Ted, our dog, who got some water, a treat and, of course, attention 😀 Thank you, guys! We'll definitely be back!

Very pleasant lunch, food tasty and well presented. However, a very confusingly presented lunch menu with a choice of only two choices by course. ( £25 for 2 courses, £28 for 3) And for the desert, there was only one offering for the set lunch menu, but we were not told by the server when we were given the desert menu. So £8 extra for an alternative desert. A bit misleading we thought.

Amazing food. Had the set lunch which for the quality was great value at £28 for 3 courses. The stand out dish was the pork belly which was cooked perfectly. Can't wait to go again.

We had snacks, starters, main and dessert and the food was exceptional! We took advice from the waitress Phoebe who recommended some sides too - how right she was! The menu had plenty for us to choose from and the presentation beautiful. The atmosphere was cosy and made us feel comfortable and relaxed. We would highly recommend and look forward to returning, thank you Chefs Mike and Dave and all the staff we had a most enjoyable experience!

Visited yesterday for lunch with friends and can only say what amazing value for money we all enjoyed when choosing from the set lunch. The warm cosy atmosphere added to the occasion. The serving staff were particularly impressive with their helpfulness and knowledge of the wines on offer..

The service and atmosphere was a certain 10/10! Their sourdough bread was jaw dropping delicious! I had the Halibut and my friend the venison (3 others the same dishes), the quality of both meats were exceptional, however, we noticed 1 drawback which was an evident trend in the desert, this being the overpowering saltiness through elements in each dish. My recommendation to visit the Anchor suggested the Choc Mousse was salty and I can confirm this so that’s 2 different tastebuds with the same experience. Go easy on the salt or salty elements and the £400 bill for 5 can be justified.

Great potential in a charming old pub with low beamed ceilings but we experienced poor service, a few disappointing dishes and found the menu a slightly peculiar mix of cuisines. The trout in the starter was nice and very well cooked but overwhelmed by a strong Thai green curry sauce. For us, an already small menu had one too many dishes with a form of curry / katsu sauce. I had a seafood main dish which was much better. Service felt a little chaotic, a couple of drinks orders never turned up and they forgot to take our deposit off the bill.
