    Booked this event as a 90th birthday treat for my mum. Confirmed with the hotel this morning that everything was right and confirmed this was a birthday treat. Had to wait an hour for food. When I spoke to the manager of the restaurant he said there had been a miscommunication between them and the kitchen. The food has obviously been rushed and didn’t look great. Mum was upset by it all and it ruined what should have been a memorable birthday treat. Very unhappy about the whole experience as we cannot repeat such a special occasion

    Our lunch was absolutely delightful! From the moment we arrived and were seated, everything was perfect. The menu was beautifully presented and offered some of the best options I’ve seen in Cambridge. The food was not only delicious but also served in perfectly sized portions, with lovely presentation to match. Compliments to the entire team—I couldn’t stop telling my friends how flawless the experience was. Bravo!

    Food menu is okay, it is just overly priced. If you are someone that travel alot or do alot of eat outs in other cities like London, Peterborough, Manchester, Birmingham, Luton just to mention a few. You will quickly find out Cambridge Restaurants are overly Priced for a bare-minimum food options.

    The afternoon tea was actually good the place is really cold and the service is unfortunately really bad. You can obviously feel that the waiter lacked of experience. It was awkward at some point. She made me pay the full price of a glass of prosecco at £8 something but on the menu, it was an extra £5 for this exact glass. When I told her she just panicked and I don't wanted to be more bothered because I knew the situation would be complicated to held by this young girl. We just left. for good.

    We had a wonderful time there thanks to the staff! We brought two children, 4 and 7 years old, and the staff were so sweet and kind to us! We all enjoyed being there. The food was excellent, and I loved the cake and drinks from buffet. We will definitely visit there again!
