text: The restaurant was rated by Restaurant.com and Yelp by many people as having the \"best fish & chips in Las Vegas,\" which is in no way the truth.  I ordered the fish and chips, which came with baked beans and \"fresh\" peas, and my friend ordered a lamb stew with yorkshire pudding.  Sounds tasty, huh?  Keep reading...  \n\nWell, the fish was NOT seasoned at all.  Although the crust was crunchy, the cod fillet was drenched in grease.  Next, the baked beans were flavorless and obviously canned.  Finally,  my peas tasted like they were once frozen, but they had an old, dry and starchy taste.  They, too were not seasoned at all.  In the end, if you like fried fish, I would recommend FRESHLY prepared Long John SIlvers to this...OR even visiting the \"hole in the wall\" in Northtown called Marios Market (MLK/Lake Mead).  The catfish there is AMAZING and made with love.\n\nNow, my friend ordered the lamb stew prepared in a yorkshire pudding bowl.  Would you believe the stew was NOT lamb, but BEEF (my friend is a trained chef...he knows!)  ANYONE who eats lamb can recognise its distinctive, slightly gamey flavor).   And when it arrived at the table in the yorkshire pudding bowl, the stew was cool inside the bowl...as if the \"chef\" hadn't microwaved it long enough.  Really?!  How long had THAT been sitting around!  Even the yorkshire pudding was soggy and old, like it was made a few days ago.\n\nSo, when we informed the waitress that the stew contained beef instead of lamb, she trotted off, frustrated, and returned 15 minutes later and said...\"Yep...the chef says it's lamb.  YOU can SAY it's beef all day long...but I'M TELLING you it's lamb.\"  When I asked her if she had ever eaten lamb before, she responded \"No...I don't like stuff like that.  But the chef told me the stew was made with lamb.\"  Hmmm.\n\nThe waitress then grew rude and condescending, as if she was exasperated by our inquiries.  At least she replaced my friend's \"lamb\" stew with a dry, overcooked steak sandwich, which was again unseasoned.  Some \"chef\" they have at the Crown & Anchor, huh?!\n\nWhat's most disappointing about my experience at the Crown & Anchor British Pub was that I'd been wanting to visit this place for some time now.  I love fish and chips, and I've seen theirs touted as being so delicious.  Hogwash!  They must be paying people to post those comments.\n\nI would NEVER go there again...or recommend any friend to do so either.  It was a 2 on a scale of 1-10.  What a waste of time and money.
