"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!"

"Don't judge a book by its cover.... beautiful building however this establishment is not customer friendly nor focused!! Woah, what an absolute crying shame, what was once a lovely old English pub filled with atmosphere and happy customers has become an incredible let down of an experiance. Visited yesterday (Saturday 12th August) with my incredibly patient partner to enjoy a few drinks and bite to eat. He went to the bar and purchased our drinks, thought it was odd when he eventually returned baring no real ale for himself which he was looking forward to sup on? He mentioned that all the pumps were not working, no alcoholic beverages in bottles and all that was available was soft drinks.... hmmm, I could see the pain upon his face yet being the person of positivity we opted to remain and tempt fate by ordering food. Off to the chaotic bar he went and placed our food order.... nearing an hour later half the order appeared. We waited for the rest of it to appear, to no avail.... we had noted that other diners were receiving other diners orders and confusion provided by staff was prevalent. My partner went to the bar to inquire as to where the rest of the order was only to be greeted with the demand of his receipt to prove payment by the very same member of staff who took the initial food order! Hmmm not impressed!! I went to the bar to seek remedy....more.uhmming and ahhing by the same member of staff who took the food order... full refund provided by a different staff member, no apology. Ironically there were many other diners leaving the pub dissatisfied with service and lack of available beverages and food quality if/when it appeared. There are evidently training issues which need to be addressed Absolutely zero level of customer service and customers comparing complaints quite openly...... Will not be going back unless I learn of new staff and management team... I can confirm, they cannot arrange a p@@s up in a brewery due to lack of alcohol and competence!!"
