Rope & Anchor

The Rope and Anchor provided a truly delightful dining experience that left us with fond memories. The food was delicious, with a special mention to their Sunday lunch that was both visually appealing and satisfying to the taste buds (please do book and have one as the Sunday Lunches are so good). The wonderful variety of beers came as a pleasant discovery, with each one presenting its own distinct flavors while keeping a clear and crisp profile, for those who appreciate a good ale, your expectations will certainly be met. The warm and inviting attitude of the staff, along with their attentive service, contributed to the overall appeal of the establishment. They adeptly attended to our needs, creating an atmosphere where we felt like cherished patrons. The evenings held their own enchantment, as the entertainment seamlessly matched the cozy ambiance that characterizes a traditional pub setting, and when the entertainment elevated its tempo, it brought an additional layer of joy to the experience, resonating delightfully with everyone in the pub. We want to express our gratitude for the lovely experience during our holiday. The Rope and Anchor's inviting ambiance, coupled with the great variety of food, beers, and spirits, made it a memorable stop. Thank you to the entire team for making our visit special. Kind regards Steve, Gina, Lydia & Hollie (the two quiet colouring in littleones).

We used to visit regularly on holiday when run by the old owners . So were pleased we booked a Sunday lunch in advance for our holiday again this year now that it has changed hands . The new owners and staff are really friendly, running it really well and serving up excellent food and drink. Warm and friendly welcome on arrival from the staff. Nice and clean and pleasant atmosphere. Well spaced out tables. Ladies toilets (upstairs) really clean and even have complimentary sanitary products if needed. Our Roast beef and yorkshire pudding sunday lunch was really tasty and so enjoyable. We like our meat well done, and they obliged by cooking it to our liking. Veg and roast potatoes were perfectly to our taste , a big pot of gravy to go with the big hearty meal. My massive portion of apple crumble was full of big chunks of apple and didn't skimp on the jugful of custard. Just perfect! Excellent and attentitve service throughout. We rebooked for the wednesday night and yet again a really warm welcome from the male member of staff who served us on Sunday and good service again from Courtney . Hubby's ham, cheese & pickles ploughmans and my fish, chips & minted mushy peas meals were yet again very tasty. Rounded off with vanilla cheesecake & a really fruity compote. Rebooked for our final night on the friday , and both had the fish & chips followed by the big apple crumble & custard for me. Again absolutely scrumptious! This is our favourite pub in Poole and will definitely dine there again most nights when next on holiday , as we have confidence in the quality of the food , as well as enjoying the friendly atmosphere, cleanliness and service.
