Lunch for six. The welcome, ambiance, welcome and food were all outstanding. The starched napery was a welcome bonus not often seen in pubs (even gastropubs) these days. However, we were very slightly stunned to notice a flier for their 3-course Christmas Fayre at £120pp !! We will certainly return.

Three old friends were visiting Cambridge and it was up to me to find somewhere good to eat. My choice of the Anchor proved universally popular and I would not hesitate to recommend it to all and sundry. Great food and atmosphere and reasonable prices. Top marks.
