"I came into the place up for having a coffee but first I wanted to change my baby as it was raining outside and she had been in hysterics for a fair time. Other places didn’t seem to have a baby change or their toilet was flooded so I thought I could change her in there. On arrival I was pounced on and told I couldn’t change my baby unless I ordered something I couldn’t believe it really and said I really need to change her and then I would probably order a coffee afterwards. The baby change room and desk was smelly and presto disgusting but she needed changing so I changed her on her own mat intop of this. When leaving I didn’t want to be pressured to have something from the shop as I was really stressed out and just wanted to go home as my little girl wasn’t feeling at all well. That’s when a member of staff followed me out saying all his customers thought I was wrong for going and changing my baby but not buying anything. I make it clear I would never go there again because I was upset and he just said it was common sense to order something. Couldn’t see my day getting any worse or stressful yet it did! I felt abused in the middle of the street when followed out infront of lots of people when all I wanted was a happy child and to have the opportunity to get her clean to do that. I won’t ever go to this place again after receiving that sort of treatment and the embarrassment after just trying to change my baby."

"I have left a review at Google already but I really want to spread the words as I honestly think this place should be known by more people who love good food and a nice cozy atmosphere in Cambridge. We came here for a meal and we were not disappointed. In fact, this is probably the only restaurant in Cambridge that I would return to! We really wanted to have pork knuckles, we found this restaurant which does that and had really good reviews so we thought we would give it a go. We pre ordered the pork knuckle (need to preorder at least 24hrs in advance . We arrived at the place and the first impression was it is a very cosy and homey place. Nice and simple decoration, very comfortable atmosphere. We were greeted and seated immediately. They already know that we pre ordered the knuckle, we also ordered the salmon and spinach dumplings as we heard they were good. When the pork knuckle arrived, we were pleasantly surprised the portion was very generous and looked very tasty! Part of the knuckle skin was crispy (so crispy like what you can expect from a roasted suckling pig! and part of them was soft which is full of flavour and collagen! The meat inside was juicy and hot. It came with one side which we ordered the chips and we also have pickled cabbage which was home made, not overly sour and paired well with the knuckle! The sauces that came with it were mustard and horse radish. I don't usually like these sauces as they are normally too strong and all you can taste is sour, but these which looked home made were not overpowering so you can actually taste the freshness of the original raw ingredients, again they paired well with the pork knuckle. We also tried the salmon and spinach dumping and the texture was great and had a nice balance of ingredients within it. Nice balance of flavour. We wanted to try the desserts too but were too full! We saw the other table ordering them and they looked tasty and the portion was generous. We will give it a go next time : What we really like is that everything came piping hot, well cooked and nothing fancy pure good food. The staff were friendly, genuine and left you sufficient room to chat. Nice atmosphere for conversations. A jar of water was provided to us so we didn't have to constantly ask for it. Nothing to complain about really! Everyone should know about this place! We will return!"

"Our family of four, plus two friends, went for lunch there on Saturday. We were kept waiting for almost 10 minutes while they found a table. It was another 15 minutes before they took the food order and they then realised that they had not asked about drinks. Our children 's starter arrived after about 10 minutes, but then no one got their main course for another 45 minutes, and only then after we complained. Other customers who arrived after us had already completed their meal. There was no real apology only a comment that they had a large group in. They had arrived after us and left before us, and only appeared to be about a dozen in number. Several other tables were empty so it could not be said to be busy. The children 's chicken wraps arrived full of some sauce that was not indicated on the menu so had to be sent back. The burgers were overcooked, dry, and tough. The burger bun was so odd that a knife could scarcely cut through it. The coleslaw was gloopy and not at all fresh, and there was a pot of some unidentifiable pink sauce. We certainly didn 't hang around for dessert. It is far from being a cheap menu and was certainly overpriced and poor value for money. Quality control seems to be non existent and staff need to be trained better in customer service. There was an overwhelming sense of 'We know that you won 't come back and we don 't really care, as other people will still come in for one meal '. Needless to say we will never be returning and I strongly suggest that noone else risks it."
