The Anvil Inn - Carte

Very warm atmosphere, There is also an active fireplace. Amazing food for the money. Drinks are quite pricey.

Fairly good. Butternut Soup with the bread was wonderful and enjoyed by all who tried. Service is slow but didn't have many working it seemed so they were always rushing. Burger was the usual type, steak was enjoyed by the others. All in all not bad for stopping while driving.

We stayed for 3 nights and were so pleased with our choice. Rooms are clean and airy. Staff were so lovely including the cleaners. Breakfast was delicious and plentiful and we were joined by 4 friends for an evening meal on Sunday. We all enjoyed our food immensely. Would definitely stay here again when visiting this area. Lovely hosts Voir le carte

I stayed at this lovely country inn for 2 nights and thoroughly enjoyed my experience. The room was quiet, clean, and comfortable, and the food served at the restaurant was excellent. The breakfast, in particular, was outstanding. The staff were attentive throughout my stay, and I must give a special mention to Anna, the bar manager, for making us feel so welcome.

This is the second time we have stayed at the hotel as our daughter lives in pimperne and we travel down from Derbyshire once a year. The hotel is absolutely beautiful and so cosy. The rooms are stylist and clean and very comfortable. The food is beautiful we had Sunday lunch there were 7 of us. Breakfasts beautifully presented. Very traditional old pub with some quirky features. We can’t wait to come back Voir le carte

Stopped in for a Sunday roast as we were passing through, a risky move as we have very high standards for roast dinners, but the Anvil did not disappoint! The best roast dinner we have had out in a long time. We both had the roast beef, which was pink in the middle and lovely and tender, came with a large Yorkshire pudding, roasted carrot and parsnip, al dente broccoli (no one wants mushy broccoli), super cheesy cauliflower cheese, perfectly crispy and fluffy roast potatoes and ample gravy. Good sized portions, prompt service and staff were all very accommodating and friendly.

We went to the Anvil in August 2023 to sample their new outdoor pizza area. We spoke to two different members of staff on the phone, said we were coming specifically for pizza and booked a table for a Wednesday. One did say pizza wasn’t available on Mondays or Tuesdays. When we arrived we were told pizzas were not available on Wednesdays. Very disappointing. Hungry, we opted for the burgers which were okay. Echoing comments from others, reduced menu and a bit pricey. I emailed the Anvil noting the lack of staff knowledge when pizzas were actually available and suggesting their website note when they are available. No reply – like many other recent comments on TripAdvisor. When you have a bad...

On a Saturday night, this restaurant seems to be popular among locals. I was somewhat disappointed by the limited menu options and the lack of mention of any specials by our waitress. Despite this, the flatbread we shared and the burgers we ordered were surprisingly delicious, much better than their descriptions on the menu. The flatbread was undercooked, but we ate it anyway after waiting 45 minutes for our food. Unfortunately, we were seated right next to the constantly open door, making us quite cold. The staff repeatedly ignored the open door even as I got up to close it myself. It took two requests to finally receive our bill. I wouldn't recommend this place for a romantic date, but for...
