What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
The Anchor Bleu is celebrated for its stunning waterside location and delicious, hearty pub food, especially the pies and fish & chips. Diners frequently praise the friendly service and the charming atmosphere. However, some visitors find the drinks to be on the pricey side, and a few have noted issues with rudeness or cold conditions during busy periods.
"We stopped here for lunch during Easter weekend. We were lucky to find a table and although it was really busy, the staff were amazing and we managed to get our orders really quickly. They were very friendly too and the food was super. Best fish and chips we've had in ages."
Annika Haataja
"The Anchor Bleu was very busy on the evening we visited Bosham. At first, we couldn't get a table as it was packed. Good sign, we thought. We decided to have a walk around the waters edge before returning.
When we went back, we were given a friendly welcome and a table at the back of the pub. Menues on the chalkboard, with plenty of choice. Service was efficient and came with a smile. Our food was great, especially my sea bass 🤩 Great location too"
Lesley Bristow
"Eating here on a Monday lunchtime and the place was nearly full. Glad we had made a reservation.
Lovely freshly prepared food
We ate up stairs with a great view of the Hoe."
