And when trying to make a complaint about the food we were told that nothing could be done! BAD FOOD, TERRIBLE SERVICE!! do not go there. ]]> Mon, 27 Jun 2011 06:14:46 +0100 67-842 http://www.essexrestaurants.com/danbury-venues/danbury-restaurants/the-anchor-runsell-green-essex.html Stopped off for a Saturday lunch on a lovely spring day with the family.Food was very good overall. Cromer Crab meal was heavenly and the home-made Steak Pie was generous and very tasty. Couldn't fault food. Generally good value for money lunches. Toilets do need some more TLC. Service was polite but hospitality could be marketed a bit more. Have lunched here a couple of times over the last year and will continue to do so. ]]> Fri, 07 May 2010 19:24:03 +0100 67-796 http://www.essexrestaurants.com/danbury-venues/danbury-restaurants/the-anchor-runsell-green-essex.html DREADFUL PUB! Arrogant and rude landlord AND landlady. I was even reprimanded for ringing ahead and apologising that 1 of the guests was ill so we were a table of 3 not 5 now?! Can't tell you how disappointed I was when we got there then as took my elderly parents there for lunch yesterday (Sunday) and waited over an hour before we even got served! The food then arrived about a further hour afterwards. Chips were so overcooked I sent them back. Next plate arrived undercooked. I left them. Service terrible and will NEVER return. Lady at bar was complaining about the service too when I went to pay (I'd given up waiting for a waiter to bring me the bill). When I told the landlord how disappointed I was, he implied I was lying about the wait I'd had as he showed me the time on the receipt when we ordered our food! I CORRECTED HIM AND TOLD HIM THAT WAS WHEN WE ARRIVED AND ORDERED OUR FIRST DRINKS!! How dare he!! No apology. I hope you lose your license and you are closed down !!! ]]> Mon, 29 Mar 2010 13:04:17 +0100 67-772 http://www.essexrestaurants.com/danbury-venues/danbury-restaurants/the-anchor-runsell-green-essex.html I found the proprietor offensive they offer a childrens menu but his attitude was far from child friendly I have never been treated so badly at an eatery ever when I complained instead of wanting to resolve the situation he became aggressive. I was completely shocked and appalled by his behaviour and will never again eat at this pub. Not only was his behaviour atrotious but the food was barely average and overpriced for what we received. ]]> Mon, 01 Mar 2010 21:52:38 +0000 67-644 http://www.essexrestaurants.com/danbury-venues/danbury-restaurants/the-anchor-runsell-green-essex.html Took parents here for anniversary meal as was recommended by many friends. Was fantastic, the food portions a very good size, price for what you get is really good value for money and the taste and quality of the food was the best I have had in a while.
We all went for fish as our main dish, the skate my dad has he said was one of the best he has had and the rest of us were very happy with our meals. Can not fault the place and going back for sure.
I am very fussy and not afraid to say, but cant fault the place! ]]> Tue, 03 Nov 2009 13:40:25 +0000 67-642 http://www.essexrestaurants.com/danbury-venues/danbury-restaurants/the-anchor-runsell-green-essex.html if your looking for tasty food then do not visit this establishment we visited on a quiet sunday for two courses first course was delivered cold the waitresses very young and not doing alot more than sitting down and chatting dreadful service from start to finish food was unappealing and finally when we had our starters which was cold and not worth £4.95 one of the many different girls asked us if we were ready to order a desert!! we said we havent had our mains yet?? the second course came different to the order we had given the waitress said well she is new so?...my partner had what was given no body asked us if the meal was ok so when we finally asked for the bill twenty minutes we waited until another staff member came an took my card to pay unhappily we asked politely to see the manager he came up and we were just explaining to him about how unhappy we were and he said "im not taking this conversation any further thank you we said but but..you havent heard our complaint yet he said im not going to do anything so who do you think u can tell???? we left very surprized that he didnt want to help or resolve out problem so i am writng this review too inform other visitors to this public house BE WARNED IF YOU EAT THERE DONT MOAN or complain as they just dont want to know . ]]> Sun, 01 Nov 2009 22:43:28 +0000
