Golden Bridge in Cambridge

Grubby plastic marque. Drinks took ages to come out, cocktails were underwhelming, small menu (which is fine, but they didn't have everything on it). Starters came out but olives and nuts we ordered didn't come - eventually (when everyone had finished their starters), a grubby bowl of olives came out but they had no nuts! Wine was expensive for what it was. Mains dribbled out, rather than all coming together, rare steak wasn't rare, food wasn't particularly hot. Tiny risotto. We had pudding and a couple of us ordered what we were told was homemade Bailey's ice cream with a chocolate fondant - it turned out to be bay leaf ice cream, which didn't go particularly well! Had some more underwhelming and overpriced cocktails in the bar. Woke up this morning feeling hard done by and then read a text from one of our party asking if I thought we should complain. Really disappointing and certainly not what you'd expect from an upmarket central Cambridge hotel. Won't be heading back.

Lost in the wilds of Cambridgeshire new science buildings is an excellent restaurant. We came for the second time with an inexpected group of 16 from the department of material sciences Tashi and her colleagues were run off their feet but never stopped smiling The food as requested arrived quickly. Hot asian and tasty at 50% of london prices. Good reasonable wine list. A find!

Ordered pizza via Deliveroo - was promised it in 40 mins. Turned up over 3 hrs late when we had gone to bed. No refund through the restaurant or Deliveroo. Both saying the other are responsible. Stay clear of both!

In Germany this would not pass for a Döner. Just a bunch of meat on a simple piece of cold flatbread with some sauce on it. The meats quality was alright and it was a decent amount, but for 7 pound not all that impressive.

I ordered the chipotle pork tenderloin and wow ! I didn’t leave anything on the plate, so delicious. The service was a little slow but I think that’s because it was close to closing. My mom also ordered the crab cakes and said it was the best she’s ever had! Wonderful dinner experience. The buffet is also good and filled with staples. I wish there were less flies around but after that it’s wonderful.
