The Anchor - Northumberland

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

Since they only serve breakfast, we had to find food from nearby hotels or drive to Hexham. Fortunately, we were able to find options to fulfill our dining needs during our stay.

Staying locally so booked here for Dinner. Right on the river, which is lovely. Inside its nothing to right home about, I even started to question why my husband had booked this. We waited a while to be served, in fact, others came in after us and were served before us, this is something I don't like. Tried to order steak but was told they didn't have any, so got 2 x burgers, 1 x fish chips and 1 x steak/kidney pie. The food came and the portions were huge and the food was gorgeous. Devoured and enjoyed by all, we were too full for desert but the kids had some and again, supersized portions but very good food and reasonably priced. One point to note was that we were with 2 kids (12 9) and the room they sat us in also had a large group of young drinkers, which were loud and swearing, nothing wrong with this in a pub, but its a bit different when eating with kids. If we were in the area we would definitely visit again.

Just had the best Sunday dinner yet from the anchor hotel and I have had a few . Good quality and massive portions, I couldn’t eat it all , My waitresses today Elise and Maddison were absolutely fantastic, they were very professional . The dinning room was very clean and tidy ... and most of all the anchor is still giving us fantastic value for money. Well done anchor hotel
