Great food with an awesome beer menu. Friendly and attentive staff.
Great food. We thoroughly enjoyed everything. Service was great, very helpful and efficient. Can’t wait to come back and try more delicious dishes. Thank you
We were visiting from Sydney and found this place on the internet. The atomosphere was trendy and the menu varied. what made it the most was the live music. really enjoyed the guitarist. Would recommend a night out here .
The super friendly staff definately made the experience welcoming. The attention they took to care for our needs was thorough and unwavering. We had wonderful meals and a memorable evening.
Good food, good drinks and lovely atmosphere. Lovely night out.
The swallowed anchor was a great place for dinner, they had amazing food and great service. Definitely recommend to anyone who wishes to go for lunch or dinner.
Always have a lovely meal here. Staff are friendly. Great atmosphere
The amazing food continues, and the team are still as friendly as ever. We took friends this time round and they absolutely loved Swallowed Anchor. Thanks again
Amazing speciality cocktails, all the food was delicious and the waitress who waited our table was super lovely and friendly. Would recommend for the peaceful ambience and the arancini balls!
The food was really tasty with a nice range offered in tapas menu. The service was friendly and food well timed. We sat on the balcony which had a nice atmosphere
Went out with a girlfriend and son. Had an awesome night. The food was really good so much variety and the staff were super friendly.
The menu had a great selection of interesting tapas options. The food was great and the service was prompt and very friendly. We would definitely go back again.
Love love love the food especially the scallops I just wish I could have more :) and the staff is so friendly and helpful service is super fast too I love this place
Tapas are delicious! This was our second visit and we are looking forward to going again. The scallops on pumpkin purée were divine and good value. Wine list and beer choice is wide with unique labels. We sat on the terrace with our 12 year old and she said her pulled pork nachos were the best she had ever eaten.
Great to eat out on the balcony after a hot day. Good selection of tapas, all hot and tasty, and the staff are friendly and helpful.
Always fresh and tasty! Great atmosphere and friendly efficient staff.
Great food, service, and price. This was my third time at this restaurant and it remains consistently excellent. Fun decor and atmosphere and overall highly recommend.
Lovely tapas with a group of 10 people. The only down side was we did not get offered dessert and when we finally asked the kitchen was closing
As always we were greeted very warmly following our Quandoo online booking. The service and food were fantastic as always and the variety of beers on tap was exceptional! The wines by glass were amazing!
Food delicious and the tapas is a good variety to suit most palattes. Nice range of beers. Inside is nice when cold outside. Try it out
2nd time I have been to the Swallowed Anchor and it was amazing. GREAT food, great atmosphere and excellent service. Highly recommend going to this restaurant
The staff were wonderful and the food was sensational! Reasonable pricing for tapas style food. Will definitely attend again and next time bring a larger group :)
Had a great evening made at the Swallowed Anchor which was made all that more special by the quality and quantity of the incredible food and the fantastic service. We'll be back - Thank you.
Great ambience and lovely starters. Enjoyed the Maize Corn grill so much! Do try their Anchors Recipe. Note that the menu is a selection of Burgers
Swallowed Anchor had great food, and was pretty reasonably priced. The salt and pepper squid was fantastic paired with a delicious rose! Fairly busy atmosphere for a Thursday.
Friendly, casual, attentive but not over the top. Food....bloody fantastic, sorry! Food was terrific, great size portions for sharing and value for money. Definetly coming back. Yum
Great food but noisy environment. Needs dampeners. Tapas was good to share with group. Your review system should allow less words. Keep it simple people.
The food was extremely overpriced for what they were offering, several items we couldn't eat, the meatballs and sauce were dry and since they came out less than 5 minutes after ordering they were clearly premade and just sitting there, also 6 small prawns floating in a bowl of oil for $16 is not my ideas of tapas. Staff were friendly but the service was poor despite not being busy, the location and atmosphere were good but the food was disappointing.
Always a pleasure eating here. Fab food, atmosphere and service. Can't recommend it more highly (although also happy to keep it as our little secret and guilty pleasure, ha ha!)
Great Martini’s Above average food mostly Extremely loud when there’s numerous bookings for larger groups. Can’t hear what the person next to you is saying at times.
Love the atmosphere, love the choices available, while the menu is. not huge, but everyone should find something to their taste. Very generous proportions and all cooked and extremely delicious. HIGHLY recommend the Swallowed Anchor
AMAZING! Experience overall was the best I’ve ever had. Food was so good. I’ve never had so much flavour in food before. Service was lovely and quick. Highly highly recommend!
I would recommend The Swallowed Anchor. Super friendly and helpful staff that make you feel welcome, delicious food and lovely cocktails, can't fault it and looking forward to coming back :)
Friendly staff, delicious Tapas options and a pretty good drinks list, including a mean espresso martini. It was the perfect nights to sit on the balcony.
The staff are very helpful with recommendations the food is delicious the wine list extensive and the atmosphere great it’s definitely a place for groups but couples wouldn’t be out of place either, do as we did order bits of everything.
Brilliant tapas!! Very tasty and generous servings. Definitely go for the garlic prawns and the polenta chips. The IPA on tap was a perfect thing to wash it down. Perfect dinner and drinks spot! Also, great people watching view from the balcony
It's always a pleasure eating here. The food is consistently great, as is the service and atmosphere. I highly recommend both lunch and dinner here.
Delicious food. Great atmosphere. The staff are lovely, and super attentive. 6th time we have dined here this year.
The service was fantastic - everyone was so lovely. The food was absolutely amazing! Calamari melted in your mouth. I will most definitely be back!
Great food excellent service live music on Saturday nights creates a great atmosphere. Friendly staff guarantees a great night out highly recommend the Swallowed Anchor
Excellent food and service in a relaxed and roomy environment. Give it a shot. You’ll definitely return for more. Our group of 9 all agreed.
Highly recommend. Awesome night great service, staff were awesome, food was delicious and the entertainment was really good, definitely be back again thank you 😊
Food is great and well priced. Cocktails are delicious but not cheap! Very noisey making it hard to hear others.
A very good place, with warm, pleasing layout and design. Exceptional staff - friendly and engaging, but not obsequious. Interesting, varied, and delicious food and drinks.
We went on a Wednesday night.... it wasn’t very busy .... which was a bonus.... the food was exceptional.... the staff were friendly and efficient...,. I will most definitely be back
The staff and service was great. Vibe was great on Saturday night with live music. Awesome menu items and very tasty, solid beer selection also.
Everything was excellent. Amazing food, great staff and great ambiance. We are definitely coming back and we will bring our friends and family. Totally recommended
The food was outstanding, the only lost of marks here was that the staff decided that we were finished ordering before we were. It’s a tapas restaurant and we had told out waitress that we wanted to hold onto the menu, unfortunately it seems that we might have been forgotten because not only did they not return to ask if there was anything else we’d like to order, we did not get a chance to order more drinks or even offered a dessert menu. We did eventually give up waiting and perhaps we could have chased it up but it turned a pleasant experience a little sour. I would go again though because there is so much more we would like to try off the exciting menu.
Loved it here. They have live music on saturdays and the food was delicious. The price was reasonable for the quality of the food and the service.
Lovely food and service, with a nice atmosphere. Not many vegan options though which was disappointing to a couple of guests in our party. Look forward to visiting again.
