Quinno _ left this review about The Anglers Retreat

Large pub that specializes in seafood, which is usually very, very good. The interior is quite large and splits in the middle to allow for a restaurant half. There’s lots of fishtanks to keep yourself amused in a dull moment. The front of the pub catches the sun almost all day, which makes it a useful summer hangout and there’s a real fire for the winter months. Live music is advertised. Beer is usually a couple of Brakspear brews. However it’s the service that lets the place down - the ales have been deteriorating a bit (down to one Brakspears the other day and that wasn't great) and the waiting staff can be pretty ropey, making schoolboy errors (double-charging, not bringing over cutlery etc). If you catch it on a good day, this is quite a decent place.
