Out on my bike today and needed a coffee. I was on some quiet roads andso was very happy to come across this bar, cafe, restaurant. It looks very nice inside. Today was only for a coffee but also had a homemade sausage roll which turned out to be beautiful. The guys warmed it up for me too!. I was disappointed that they didn’t have skimmed milk but as I was on a long ride it was all good. The coffee was, however, very nice, they made it extra hot for me and made it in a larger cup which was more cappuccino style. Price for the 2 was £7.25. The place was popular with people having meals out in the sun and other cyclists. Plenty of parking. I’d love to return. Our third visit. Food is top notch for pub food. Their fish dishes always excellent and their roasts legendary. The food is hot and plentiful and I mean that. It's cooked and presented beautifully and everyone in our party loved what they had. There are tables inside but not crammed together. We ate outside at the back by the pizza oven because it was nice weather and our dogs were hot after their walk, but dogs were welcome inside too. There are also tables out front in the tiny hamlet "square" with the war memorial. The staff were polite and warm and are a credit to the team. They didn't rush us and were attentive enough to come and ask us if we needed anything. Visited here on 27th August 2025 with group of freinds 5 in total, the setting is beautiful and the atmosphere warm and welcoming. Food top quality a little pricey but well worth it, service excellent, freindly, and helpful would highly recommend if you want your taste buds tingling for more. Lovely place, gorgeous setting and exceptional food that arrived quickly. Inspiring and imaginative menu. Food was beautifully cooked. Service was fine - a young person who needs more training and experience but they're learning on the job and it's great to see the pub giving them the opportunity 😊 Met a friend half way between our two homes, each 2 hours' drive from the pub. We always meet somewhere different but now we're just going to come back to this place! Had a delicious Roast Beef lunch here today. Couldn’t fault it! Reasonably priced. Fresh. Cooked to perfection and extremely tasty. Enjoyed every mouthful. The best I have had in a very long time. Will def return! Unlike many reviews here, mine is based upon over 10 visits made in the last year. I am local to the area and regularly visit pubs and other places to eat. Of the many places to eat in and around the Blandford area, this pub continually offers very good food, friendly staff and a lovely ambiance. Of choice, I would either eat here or the White Horse at Stourpaine. Both pubs accept dogs. The Anchor, rightly, has earned a good reputation. Fantastic food and beer in a lovely pub. Posh fish n chips from the specials board was amazing. Service was attentive without being intrusive. A little pricey but I did close the most expensive thing on the menu. That's quite a few birthdays we have celebrated here. My wife and I enjoyed the pork and and octopus dishes today, these were both well prepared and presented by the chef. The staff were helpful and friendly. We were surprised at the limited milk options for the coffee but apart from that a pleasurable meal and will go again.
