The Blue Anchor - Torbay

Went for a fantastic Sunday lunch that was reasonably priced. The beer was good and staff were friendly and helpful (dark haired guy with a beard and an older man). There is a sign up saying no children but it’s targeted at children in pushchairs and high chairs which is understandable as there just isn’t room for them in this rustic pub (kids aren’t allowed in the bar area either but that’s pretty normal). As long as your child can be seated normally (my daughter is 4), you’ll be fine but if they misbehaved they contractually can be sold to pirates. We actually went back for the basket meals on another day.

We visited for Sunday lunch whilst staying in Brixham based solely on tripadvisor and reviews. It was quite possibly the best Sunday lunch we have had. Really generous portions, home made and expertly cooked. The prices are reasonable and the service was great too. Would 100% recommend to anyone and would love to come back for Sunday lunch in the future.

This pub is great for a pub lunch. Food was very nice Staff friendly. Also pub is dog friendly I had a burger and hubby had liver and onions both meals were hot. Will go back agin

Called in for lunch.Excellent food, and great service with a smile. The scallops and plaice were both tasty dishes cooked well. Thank you we will be back.

Managed to find two tables for lunch, which was lucky because its not a big pub once you are inside, just how a pub in a fishing harbour should be be. We ordered food and drink at the bar which was easy enough. The jail ale was a really good pint, so good i had two but the branding design on the glass was very scratched and looked a bit tatty, this doesn't effect the taste or quality but it's just something that niggles me when it happens. Food did take a while to come but we didn't mind, it just meant we could have another pint. When the food arrived it was well worth the wait, the fish and chips and the steak pie were obviously freshly cooked and the portion sizes were decent. Quality of food was very good and the steak in the pie just melted in your mouth.
