Had a mixture of High Tea and Afternoon Tea between 6 of us and food quality was excellent. Nice ambience and efficient service. We couldn't manage all the food so took the leftovers home. Quite expensive but worth it.

Wow what a wonderful afternoon tea, so much food and so beautifully presented, the carriage Louis was just so lovely and very comfortable. We had two boxes to bring the food home that we couldn't eat. What a fantastic birthday gift, I would highly recommend Carriages of Cambridge thank you.

Lovely experience, once you get over the fact your train isn't going anywhere! Beautiful little "station", Louis carriage was gorgeous, good service. Loads of food (too many carbs, but that's a hazard of afternoon tea everywhere), and good value. An excellent Christmas treat for our small family. Look forward to returning in summertime.

Lovely place, booked a private pullman, only downside to that is that you can't get anyone's attention if you require something; for example they refreshed our tea but didn't bring more milk so the pot went to waste. Food was lovely

We had a scrumptious high tea in a beautifully decorated period rail carriage. You enter through the ticket office and waiting room and down the platform to the carriages. All the food is prepared in a kitchen carriage. The staff were very friendly and polite and saw to our every need. The grounds are very attractive with vintage vehicles outside the ticket office. The High had a good mixture of savouries and sweet desserts and was delicious. There is ample free parking. I would highly recommend Carriages of Cambridge.

There are follies and there are follies but Bannold Station is a monument like no other: exquisitely prepared food, gardens of wonder and a grandiloquent railway that goes nowhere and offers everything. Impossible to pin down it's tribute to imagination and care and, given that its relative is a highly successful building supplies company, more extraordinary than even Alice could have seen in Wonderland. Take the day off and go. Our servers Megan and Emma were truly enjoying their work; maybe the full Lyons Corner House hose would be the cherry on top of the cake.

Early birthday treat for my daughter and what a lovely time we had in this unique setting . The afternoon tea was beautiful and plenty of it , cocktails very nice and the staff were wonderful . All young waiters , very knowledgeable , happy to explain what all the sandwiches and cakes were , they returned frequently to ask if all was OK and did we require anything else . We've been to many afternoon teas and this is on par with the best , it's an hours drive from us so not local but we look forward to visiting again .

I was really excited at being taken out for tea on my birthday to such an unusual venue, but sadly the venue, the food, the service and lack of disabled facilities were disappointing. I was contacted in advance about dietary requirements and stated that I was Pescatarian. I had anticipated at least one smoked salmon sandwich, but instead got 2 x tuna/onion. The other sandwich was Coronation chick pea (very mushy) and finally a couple of slices of egg with a strip of watercress . I was not offered a choice of teas nor a refill. As there was no hot water, I just drank cold tea. However, the scones were light, fresh and delicious. And generous portions of jam and cream. Good selection of pastries, if rather on the small size. I got the feeling of the place being understaffed. In summary, I felt that the price was way too high for the food and service. I believe that the owners were charging for the uniqueness of the venue, whilst cutting back on the quality of the food and good service.

Having people over from the USA we thought it would be a nice place to go. The setting is great and the experience also, but the £25 per head for the few cakes and dainty sandwiches were a bit disappointing. Again the money I think is in, 'The going and doing something different.' All six of us agreed we would make this a one off and not go again. Everything has a worth and we were not sure this gave that to us. I also think we had the low cost menu .

Nice few hours out. This is the second time I have visited and I have to say the first time round seemed better.. staff seemed less “stressed” but that isn’t surprising given how busy it was. Seems to be hard work to book in or get through to book and there is limited space with their opening hours and sitting times. The grounds are beautiful & a lot of work has gone into it. Food was lovely, I will be returning.

3rd time lucky and worth the wait! Had to cancel twice due to illness. Most accommodating. You do need to book well in advance, which confirms its popular, great and worth it. Great food, beautifully served. Not majorly expensive for the wonderful food. Said price as when I booked last October and had in April. Menu priced the same on the day, so wasn't a 'held' price Everything was top notch, even down the vibration and clickety clack sounds, even though you went nowhere. We bought a couple of bits home because we couldn't manage them. Very nice next day. Everything was home grown or produced as much as possible and it was exquisite. The sandwiches were really fresh and delicious. Wonderful mocktails, an extra. Unlimited tea. What's not to like? Thank you

I'm wary of ordering mussels in restaurants - but as this was the first night of opening after lockdown restrictions were lifted I figured they would be fresh and gave them a chance. So glad I did! The finest I have ever had! That was my starter. My wife had the mackerel pate starter, which she said was delicious. I had the 10oz rib eye steak for my main course, which was beautifully cooked - rare and full of flavour and so tender. It came with a generous portion of chips - the menu called them fries, but to me that means the thin overcooked hollow flavourless things served by the big burger chains. These were nothing like that. Big, crisp on the outside, fluffy potato on the inside. Top marks. They do themselves an injustice, calling them fries. My wife had seafood risotto, which she loved. Great big prawns, large slices of fish in a huge tasty rice dish.By the end of that, we were too stuffed to manage any dessert, which I regret, given the quality of the dishes we had. Highly recommended.

We’ve visited Provenance a few times in the summer and it is normally a treat. We popped in for lunch this week and it was really disappointing though. Firstly the restaurant was cold. I didn’t take off my coat and gloves the whole time we were there. For starter I had a pork croquette. It was a lump. The size and shape of a Gregg’s sausage roll and a really peculiar texture. I only ate half of it. For main course my husband had a lamb burger. It was left on the side for ages and almost cold. The amount of cumin in the mayo made it very peculiar. Our fries were also almost cold. My main course, pork loin, was underdone in places and over in others. It came with a gravy that wasn’t mentioned on the menu. I wouldn’t have ordered it had I known. Overall, we won’t be rushing back. Staff apologised and took the cost of the fries off our meal (£4). The experience still cost us £67. Very unimpressed.
