   The menu was brilliant with lovely things to pick for lunch as well as more substantial things for a big meal. The service was quick and very friendly.

   Great pub for lunch near Cambridge. We are in the bar which was quite noisy for a Sunday. Food was excellent as was the service. Do make sure to register your car number plate for parking when you enter the pub to avoid a £100 parking fee/ fine from Euro Car Parks.

   Definitely wouldn’t recommend and wouldn’t rush to go back. We possibly just had a bad experience, the food was good but we didn’t buy starters or desserts when we normally would as their were lots of strange mixes of foods, this is a personal preference and we looked at the menu beforehand but some of the dishes had changed on the day or were no longer available. Parking is a nightmare!! If you’re lucky to get a space they’re tiny. Staff were the real let down, not helpful, asked for another drink no can’t do that, waiter hard to find, asked for gluten free options there are none!!! Then got given a QR code to scan the menu online isn’t clear with these options its really not hard to print GF on a menu. Waiter asked if they could answer any questions, asked them to tell us the gluten free options, said they would ask the kitchen, back a minute later to say they’re too busy to answer the question. Not helpful, we left not wanting to spend anymore money their, definitely got too high brow for its boots and sadly not a pleasant birthday experience.

   Nice ambience and really friendly staff. Service a good speed. Food very disappointing- sinewy beef, hard to cut into and reheated roast potatoes which were slightly hard on the inside. Fish and chips on the other hand were very good. Desserts also good. Roast dinners let it down though overall.

   Booked a table for lunch but the lunch menu wasn't available. As we did not want big main meals we had to just have starters which was not very satisfying! Will think twice about booking here again.

   Very welcoming, this is our second visit and the staff on both occasions have been very friendly and the food is delicious with very generous portion sizes. Great atmosphere, will definitely be returning.

    Was disappointed that we went for lunch, table booked for 12.30 and was told that lunch menu wasn’t available. No explanation as to why. We had to have a main meal which was double the price of lunch and a bigger meal than we wanted for lunch.
