We were a party of 7, including two children and a teenager, we dined at lunch time in half term. Considering that Bill's was quite full, the staff did a very good job of looking after us. I had reserved a table in advance. We were led to this on arrival. The food was good and much enjoyed. A special shout put should go to large the gluten free menu, as one of our party has a gluten intolerance. Bill's in Cambridge is a good meeting place and good value. We will be going again.

I’ve already recommended The Oak Bistro to several people. Excellent food, very accommodating when we showed up on a busy Thursday lunchtime 45 minutes early for our reservation, having caught an earlier train. Food was exceptional. And, with the option of a Prix fixe menu, there was a decent range of prices.

Had a great time at the Red lion for dinner today. Of course we had to have the roast dinner as it was a Sunday, and it did not disappoint. The roast chicken was excellent, cooked very well, and there was plenty of it. Roast potatoes and Yorkshire pudding was also excellent. Our server was very friendly and helpful.

    Outstanding ambience, and service, and quality of food, and the setting of the table (the napkins were gorgeous!). I felt very looked after, and and the whole experience was truly memorable, in a good way. The staff were especially considerate and helpful. As a result, I've already booked myself to have lunch there, on my own!

    Lovely Restaurant and Lounge Bar dining area, with working fireplace and rustic beams creating a good ambience, very popular too, so booking is recommended. A good menu covering all tastes plus seasonal "Specials" board. I had the "Fish n Chips", Battered Cod, Chunky Chips, Peas and Tartar Sauce, freshly cooked, piping hot, and absolutely Yummy! My wife had the Lasagne, very substantial, tasty, and "Homemade", all boxes ticked, followed by something from the Desserts menu, Sticky Toffee Pudding with Ice Cream being a favourite, all served very attentively by the friendly team, many thanks!!
