The Anvil Inn

“3rd time we have eaten here (just can't find all the photos) 1st time we had Nachos (single portion) between us and the sizzling chili chicken. Nachos were good with the sizzling chicken being amazing. It was one of the chefs specials on the day and it was that: special. Chicken was almost melt in the mouth with what would be roast veg served on a sizzling platter. Quite spicy, but not too bad that we couldn't finish the meal. 2nd time we had crispy battered mushrooms to start and nachos. We shared our starters together. The nachos were good again but the mushrooms were phenomenal. They are served with garlic butter and a small salad of cucumber, tomato amd lettuce. Bursting with flavour. We both had the Anvil burgers with everything on it. Wow. Full of taste. Wasn't greasy or full of fat so felt like homemade burgers. Could be wrong but didn't feel like your standard mass produced ones. Absolutely full afterwards. Recently when we went in we both had the crispy battered mushrooms and weren't disappointed at all in their taste again. We both had the battered fish and chips. Fish was delicious and so were the chips. We drank pints of Tennents as they didn't do ale on tap at the time. About £3.70 a pint from memory. Main meals aren't too expensive and I like the fact it is a smaller menu too. Definitely worth checking out. It's not been too busy when we've been in. Would advise checking to see when the kitchen is open as it's only one chef. You won't be disappointed with the food. Recent visit :Feb 2026 Barmaid very friendly when we went in. Ordered drinks at the bar. 2 pints of Tennents are £8. Asked if we wanted to go have a seat anywhere in the bar and we can pay for the drinks with food. Decided to pay before we ordered food. Ordered the Crispy Garlic mushrooms and Bbq chicken wings to start (photo this time) and 2 Anvil burgers with everything on it. (Bacon, cheese, onion rings). Absolutely stuffed. The food has never been a disappointment when we have been in. My partner loved the side salad that came with the mushrooms and the burgers. Not too busy when we were there so you can hold a conversation without any worries.”
