The Anchor Inn - Harrogate

The fish and chips here are as good as you will get ANYWHERE. The fish is a very good size and freshly cooked just as I like it. It retains its soft texture whilst still retaining its form (not at all easy to do and the batter is to die for. Service and the friendliness of staff is unparalleled. Unlike a great many well-known 'chippies ' the chips here are obviously freshly cooked and to perfection. If you order the large fish, you will need a very, very good appetite Plenty of tartar source supplied.. I 'll be back again very soon (with friends! . This review also applies to the last three times I have had fish and chips here in the last 3 months. 5 star

Having seen all the good reviews about the quality of fish and chips at The Anchor decided to try out the take away service. Have to say that these were really excellent and probably the best we have had locally. Ordered earlier in the day and they were freshly cooked for collection. Can highly recommend The take out service and will definitely be back for a future order.

Walked into this bar to find a child pouring a pint behind the bar.When the women who was also there had finished taking payment for the drink she then poured her self a drink and sat down in the bar.The little girl was left standing behind the bar alone and I was left standing at the bar with no one serving.It seemed the only thing to do was walk out.

Stopped in the village, wanted to revisit the pub after a few years absence. Great beer, pleasant beer garden and welcoming staff. Second night same, with the added bonus of superb 'fish shop ' fish n chips at a great price.

After 18 months of not being able to travel to the away games we were given a 630 mile round trip to Hartlepool to start. We again were looking for a pub to stop off at for our main break in the journey this was our first visit and what a great place The Anchor Inn in Boroughbridge just off the A1M at junction 48. Thank you to Lesley and her staff for the welcome and providing us with a extremely good buffet lunch we had already travelled 4 and a half hours and the food provided was just brilliant and plentiful just what we needed for our 44 supporters we stopped for 90 minutes before heading to the game. We will visit again in the future and any supporters groups travelling by coach just give them a ring and arrange a stop, they have a car park capable of taking a coach.
