    Excellent, and plentiful Sunday roast, Choice of 3 meats, we chose the pork and beef, both well cooked, and presented with 7 types of veg, and a rich gravy, all for 16.50 pp. Dessert from the specials board weren't cheap at 7.25 each but were sizeable and very tasty. Altogether a great Sunday lunch, highly recommended.

    Another gem of blue anchor. I loved how the entrance was a hidden door down some stairs. Had my first sip of Somerset cider on my holiday when we popped in. The garden was nice, I imagine now we're in spring it will flourish nicely.

    Sunday roast was fantastic, beef was so tender and vegetables piping hot.Staff were very welcoming and polite. Pub is very quirky and clean. Plenty of parking ,situated a stones throw from the beach, ideal for walking off a large lunch. Highly recommend
