The Anglesea Arms

I live a few minutes from The Anglesea .Working within the industry I was always impressed by the imaginative/ rustic seasonal food served but, I have noticed this slowly slipping . It now feels as if the components on a dish are for a faster service/higher turnaround which is a shame.In regards to the service - Unfortunately, I think they thrive on being above themselves as they know that another Chelsea wannabe suffocating the area will walk thru the doorBut, I'll still keep on going !

I was so pleased when I was first taken here... Big comfy old leather sofas and a roaring fire, not to mention interesting and yummy food. However, in the last year it's really gone downhill, when I went recently I was disappointed to see the fire unlit, on a very chilly day, and the soafa area has gone so more tables could be squeezed in and, perhaps most importantly, the food was very forgetable, all except the meat platter which consisting of a mean amount of 3 different types of salami really stuck in the throat...What a waste of potential!

While the food isn't bad, the Angelsea has lost its cutting edge and othergastropubs in the area such as the Carpenter's Arms have caught up and surpassed it. The worst feature we recently found was charmless service. It takes little to say 'thank you' and ask how the food was. It didn't happen. I think the Angelsea needs a bit of a kick.
