Wow, first time here highly highly recommend. We are JetSkiing and only new to it! We were greeted my a big smile and guided into parking our JetSki on the wharf. The service is 5 star, warm and friendly vibes. This place is catered to all, whether you have a boat, JetSki easy to dock on the wharf. Also catered to lots of motor bike riders and even if you’re just going for a Sunday cruise in your car. Family business were you feel welcomed Great spot so tranquil on the water highly recommend. Great for the family or even date ;) Don’t get service like this anymore. Definitely will be bringing family here regularly.

Stopped in here for lunch today. We didn’t have a booking but there was plenty of seating. The staff were so friendly and the food delicious. A perfect warm blue sky Winter’s day topped it off!

What a great spot, cant wait to try the menu. Today we had Oysters and a soft drink and we were gifted a complimentary coffee. Everything about this spot is beautiful, but the beautiful welcome and wonderful hospitality is what will keep us coming back. 10/10

The Anchor at Spencer is an absolute gem! The food is incredible, and the atmosphere is wonderfully welcoming and relaxed. What truly sets this place apart, though, is the fantastic owner, Trent. He makes every visit a great experience. Highly recommend stopping by!

We visited during a busy period and restaurant provided a great experience. We liked the uniqueness of having tables across the road of the cafe with the wharf connecting patrons. Whilst ordering food needs to be made at the counter, table service was there and the food tasted great; pricing on some menu items was quite high though. Thanks for a great time.

The Anchor, on Wisemans Feery Rd, Spencer, NSW always well worth a stop over, whether it's to the historical society, loaded with information and goodies to buy, then stop into the Anchor restaurant for those who prefer to dine inside with service, then there is also the outside sector with undercover seating and lots of open spaces tables for family gatherings. Waterfront views are spectacular, as are the menu choices and variety. Cuppacinno, teas, or cold drinks to go too. They even deliver your food across the road if your seated on the direct Waterfront. Not touristy packed so you're mostly guarenteed seating. Highly recommended and manager and owner Trent, also personally and professionally serving customers sets a fine example of the welcome to guests, regulars and newcomers alike. Loved.the octopus and fresh mud crab platters! #localbusiness #smallbusiness #supportlocal #supportsmallbusiness #shoplocal #local #supportlocalbusiness #shopsmall #business #smallbusinessowner #buylocal #familybusiness #entrepreneur #womeninbusiness #businessowner #community #BuyFromTheBush #trending

We always have a great experience when dining here. Beautiful outlook on the Hawkesbury River sitting on wharf with tablecloths for a touch of class but still relaxed and local vibes. Food is great with changing specials and a good beer/wine selection.

Had the pleasure of having lunch here with family for my birthday recently and it was awesome. Everything about this place makes you never want to leave and rush back. The hosts Trent and Bianca have absolutely nailed it. Do yourself a favour and give it a go. The oysters are the best I've ever had (and I've had stacks) and the prawn Luxer soup was yummo .
