About The Rope & Anchor
The Rope & Anchor is a pub on Manchester Rd in Warrington, where the landlord and landlady come over to chat with customers and darts are there to play.

Customer Review Summary
Sunday lunch is the draw reviewers return to most, with several calling it excellent and one saying it is among the best they have had, including an adult turkey dinner with gravy left off the child's plate. Close behind is the welcome: the landlord got a son playing darts, the landlady came over to chat, and staff are described as friendly and attentive. Others praise a steak cooked as requested with perfect chips, a first pint of Manchester pale ale, and ice cream a daughter loved. Food is called hot, served in about fifteen minutes, and well priced. Reviewers also describe a relaxed, warm atmosphere with lots of room between tables, and one local says the pub has turned around from unpleasant to welcoming. One reviewer notes that a table for Sunday lunch can be hard to get. No complaints about the food or service appear, and kitchen staff coming out to ask whether everything was all right with the meal is a moment one diner singles out.

“Only called in for drinks on this occasion. This is our local, and has been turned around from a very unpleasant pub to a very warm, welcoming place to visit. Highly recommend the Sunday lunch. You won’t be dissapointed. A credit to Kath, Chris, Sarah and team!”

“I stopped by The Rope and Anchor in Warrington for a glass of wine while getting some work done on my laptop while waiting for my partner, and Chris made the visit fantastic. He was friendly, welcoming, and attentive, making sure I had everything I needed to feel comfortable. The atmosphere was relaxed and perfect to enjoy a drink. I’ll definitely be coming back!”

“Probably one of the best Sunday lunches I’ve had. Banging guys. Well done. 9.5/10. Never give a 10… always room to improve on anything. The landlady was lovely and came over to chat with us. Nice touch as we have not been here for years.”
