Golden Pheasant in Peterborough

Booked a table for 2 ppl at 13.15hrs on a Sunday as it was our wedding anniversary and wanted something a little different. Boy did we get it! Took nearly 50 mins to get the starter (which was just bread and oil) with main course being delivered 15 mins later. Most main course choices where 'shared' so if you didn't agree on what you wanted - tough. The lamb was still baaaaaaing when it came out (guess that's what gourmet food is like 🥴) and half way through the meal water started pouring through the ceiling meaning we had to relocate (no assistance given by the staff) to a table further away from the leak. By the time we'd moved the rest of the food had gone cold. All but one other cover had left and we seemed to have got forgotten. Had to go and find someone to ask about getting the bill. Had one round of drinks knocked off for the 'inconvenience' of the leak although nothing was said by the staff. Won't be rushing back.

Everything was on point. Staff attentive, welcoming and friendly. The food was delicious, good sized portions

We had a lovely evening dining outside. The staff was super friendly, we both had delicious bavette paired with a very good Malbec. Just 15 minutes from the A1, so really recommended to stop by!! Dogs are welcome and they have a playground for the childeren. You can also park with your camper.

Had the rib roast for sharing (2) and it was beautiful! Servers/Chef considerate enough to cook to medium for the outer parts and mid-rare for me in the middle to suit both our preferences. Will definitely be going back to check out other menu items and/or sit outside this stunning old pub with a crisp vino! 👌🏻

***UNDER NEW MANAGEMENT*** It was an absolute pleasure to spend the evening in the pub after it has been re opened!! the staff are very welcoming, very well kept beer and a great atmosphere, but the star of the evening was the food, wholesome homemade meals that showcase the chefs talents i cant wait to be back as there are so many things i need to try!

Our first Sunday lunch under the new owners (who have recently taken over in July 24) and it was great! Thoroughly recommended and the Pheasant will now become our preferred local venue.

We had been for drinks on opening night and decided to come back for food.We certainly weren't disappointed ! We both had a rib eye steak , which was cooked to perfection. The homemade chips were very tasty and the tender stem broccoli was also cooked perfectly. Service was brought with a smile and the staff were all very welcoming . A good selection of drinks to choose from and the deserts were amazing. We will definitely be back to try more of the menu.

Only the first full day for Max & Suzanne & wow! Lovely atmosphere & amazing food - the freshest fish ever & batter that’s delicious & perfect texture. Chef also made homemade chicken nuggets for my 3 year old grandson as they weren’t on the menu - very thoughtful & they were delicious. Unbelievably Max is cooking solo at the moment & producing this standard of food - amazing! Can’t wait to visit again soon . 👌❤️

Golden wedding anniversary with family absolutely superb service food surroundings many thanks to John and the team making our day

First time we've visited. Felt like we'd been going for years. Just the nicest atmosphere, with the friendliest hosts, and clientele. Add in dining by a real fire with cracking food and wines, what's not to love!

A fantastic pub on the outskirts of Peterborough that's absolutely worth a visit. Great food with friendly, chatty hosts. Highly recommend, and we'll be back with our family for sure!

Got in last minute for Sunday dinner. Lots of good quality food with great friendly service. Excellent value for money.

We tried the restaurant for the first time last night and really enjoyed it. The food was fantastic, and everyone was so friendly.

Sunday lunch was great, generous portions and delicious. We were in the back room which was very echo -y and could hear every word of the conversations on the other tables so definitely not for a romantic, intimate meal Didn't like that as well as our table reservation there was the same reservation plaque for the booking after us. It made us feel like we were on a timer which was a real shame as it took the shine off a lovely lunch and we were gone well before the next people anyway. A bit more of a subtle approach would have made all the difference.

Great food. Great service. Lovely venue definitely be back

Impromptu visit with a friend. Lovely summers evening, sat outside with our G&Ts. Good atmosphere & great staff.

A lovely big beer garden and a nice country pub

I and a lot of family members went to an engagement party on Saturday evening, what a lovely place. We had it in the marquee outside. If you live local and need a party venue, then look no further. The staff were fantastic 👏, the food was delicious and plentiful, the drinks were all reasonably priced, we had a fantastic time and when we visit family we will definitely be returning for food. Five stars all the way, and thank you, The Golden Pheasant for a fantastic experience 👏 😀

First ever visit, and it's safe to say we will definitely be going back. Greeted on arrival and shown to our (reserved) outdoor table. Kids then vanished off to the play area whilst the food was prepared. Portions were a decent size, and the food was lovely. Host and staff were available throughout, and were both hospitable, friendly and professional. All in all a 5* visit and looking forward to our next visit.

Nice small country pub... friendly welcome... Sunday Lunch was very nice... service not so good... the waitress seemed more interested in talking to her family than dealing with paying customers... we ordered lamb but got beef... the chef even came out to reassure us that it was lamb but it was a very beefy tasting and looking lamb...? Go figure...? I wasn't going to argue and the meal was very nice... however upon leaving sarcastic remarks were made by the waitresses family... something about chicken tasting like duck... comments that were not called for... good and bad comments... but a result im sorry to say I won't be going going there again...

What a lovely evening in the garden, birds singing, sun shining and gorgeous food to top it all off. Highly recommended

Popped in for an early dinner Johno is a wonderful convivial host nothing was too much trouble, lovely atmosphere and the food was excellent we will be going back, lots more to try on the menu the pizzas look delightful....! Thanks very much Johno.

Staff were warm and welcoming, food was just absolutely lovely and we all left feeling very satisfied. Can't recommend this place enough 😊

Lovely country pub tucked away in nice surroundings. Friendly and helpful staff. Great food and drinks. Thanks Paul.

Good food excellent staff. Would highly recommend

I can't rate this place highly enough. We booked to have Sunday lunch as a group of 20 people after a christening, and they were so well-organised and accommodating. We've visited this place numerous times. The food is so good and there's always great vegan options available. They also take allergies seriously. If you're visiting, know that their pies are proper pies! Their Pizzas are to die for, and their Sunday lunch is better than your mum makes... Sorry mum. I know I'll be visiting again very soon!

Staff brought me food from the party I was hiding from

Had dinner there 8/4/23 - excellent food and service from Stuart. Would thoroughly recommend

Always great food and a warm welcome

A friendly welcome with great home cooked food which was delicious.

Portions are not amazing, cearel bowl of veg between 3 roast dinners, watery gravy and the meat was thinly shaved better than kebab meat!! Was disappointed! Great for drinks and out door area, but need more food for the prices

Everything is freshly cooked and you can tell. Plus friendly people. Well worth going out of your way for.

Really good Sunday lunch in a lovely pub. We will definitely be returning.

Great home made food, which was delicious. Lovely landlord, jovial and accommodating. Good location.

We had our Christmas party (18 covers) here and couldn't ask for more, nothing was too much trouble, the food was fantastic and we got excellent service, would highly recommend.

Delicious Sunday lunch at the Golden Pheasant. Recommended

Such a warm and friendly welcome, and the best steak & ale pie, ever!

We had our wedding anniversary on Saturday and the food and service made it a perfect evening which was supported by us going back in time and enjoying a dance with friends. The staff couldn’t do enough and the best part of the Golden Pheasant, the food was cooked to order and was definitely worth the wait,

Very friendly, good food and a warm welcome. Great place for a large rib eye steak or my favourite the mixed grill. Chef took the time to visit each table and ask how the food was. Will definitely be going back. We were a party of seven, having starters, main course and deserts, the service was very good.

Just been for Sunday lunch at the golden pheasant, food delicious, staff all friendly, definitely be returning very soon. Thankyou all

Country pub with nice atmosphere and excellent food. A little bit out the way but worth the effort to find. Throughly enjoyed our time there. Very affable host and staff.

Very very nice and good food fantastic

Lovely host and fantastic steak

Top place village pub great food live music

We had 3 most enjoyable evenings and fabulous meals over the last 3 evenings. Definitely be back next year when we visit Burghley Horse Trials.

Never answer the phone to try and book in leave a message and never get back to you very poor customer service. Have been before and very good food and hospitality such a shame

Absolutely great food. Had the steak and ale pie with the best gravy ever. Very attentive staff, kept our glasses topped up. Great atmosphere, so welcoming. Will certainly come again.

Amazing food and brilliant service went today and me and the wife can't wait to return

Lovely place to sit outside for a lovely lunch. Had the sea bass with samphire, potatoes and tarragon sauce… lovely! Recommend that you book as it can be busy - popular place!

Fab meal last night at The Golden Pheasant with my other 'luscious lady' ! :) The pie was superb and the cheesecake was gorgeous. Excellent service. Very friendly and attentive. Can thoroughly recommend and am looking forward to our next visit. Thank you.

A lovely old building and a decent menu. Our steak pies were delicious

Very nice place. Friendly staff and dog friendly. Nice food.

It's OK as pubs that do grub go. Food was good for the prices. Beer was good and the staff friendly

Great food attentive & friendly landlord would definitely go back-probably when the mini golf is open

Fantastic place to eat, would highly recommend it there. Took a party of 13 people and all the food came out at the same time, hot and all cooked perfectly. The desserts were freshly made and tasted amazing. The service was impeccable and really can't fault them.

Good place out in the sticks for a drink or a meal

Just dropped in for quick drink mid walk very pleasant

Been twice..was there Sunday 20th march..Sunday roast was to die for..probably the best I've had lashing of gravey..my only gripe was needed more roast potatoes as they are soooo good 3 wasn't enough...and strawberry cheese cake for dessert wow..the owners really know how to cook and so friendly and welcoming I go to Peterborough 3-4 times a year I will visit for a roast every time..so if your in area its a must.

Great atmosphere very welcoming we booked in for food 11 of us ate and all loved it and stayed on for the vinyl night will definitely be back

Good honest food. Wooden tables. Not cosy. Apparently attempting the wine bar look. Probably falls between 2 stools. Is it a pub or restaurant?

Great service and Christmas lunch was more than worth it. Thanks very much.

An excellent Sunday roast. Friendly service. Would recommend

Fabulous setting. Lovely food and great, friendly service. Would recommend to anyone. Thank you for a lovely evening.

Lovely food, location and staff. Definitely coming back!

Lovely location and great service. We came here for Sunday lunch recently and it was a real treat. Thoroughly recommend.

Perfect lovelyness place xx can't wait for another vist

Great beer and service and freshly prepared food.

Great landlords and superb location for a meal a party or wedding celebration definitely recommended. Also good selection of beverages alcoholic and none alcoholic.

What a wonderful place. I attended a wedding here on Saturday 18th September & it was a great night. Both landlord& landlady really welcoming, friendly & good fun. Will definetly visit again they deserve 5 stars

Amazing foods and great atmosphere

Good and friendly place food very good staff efficient and a venue for party's and weddings ect

Lovely food and service with a smile. Highly recommend.

Food is brilliant go the once a week religiously Kirsty does a amazing job of the pies absolutely amazing and the beer is brilliant from Johno!! Very welcoming pub!

A very friendly place to go and eat . The food is all cooked fresh and seems like it's all homemade . There is a decent little play area outside and even a mini golf course which my kids loved . Had a really relaxing time . Top marks to all at the pub .

Had a wonderful meal for 4 last night at The Golden Pheasant. We ate in the bar as there was a function on but this was fine as we got to see the owner in action with is hosting skills and banter. Food cooked by his wife/chef was wonderful and all homemade. Definately will visit more often.

Great service, pleasant surroundings, prices not too horrendous. Will go again.

Brilliant place helpful landlord, Jono

Came over to visit my dad for an early fathers day. And came here for food and drinks. Can't fault it was completely amazing. Food was brilliant.

Very nice place spacious to witch is good. foods lovely and great staff friendly people ideal for kids aswell they have play area and parking brilliant aswell definitely worth a trip to golden pheasant for food and drinks

Good food pleasant staff well set out owing to the situation

Booked for dinner and arrived at the 6.30 booked time - was promptly offered drinks. Had to ask for a food menu, after ~30 mins had to hunt for someone to take the order. The menu isn't large and we were informed that Pizza's were unavailable as they had run out of ingredients. Ordered Fish and Chips and Burger - food was ok. No one came to offer desert or coffee. Had to hunt for someone to get the bill, had to repeat since no one actually came the first time.

Nice terrace and atmosphere. Service a bit slow that day, probably short of staff. And dishes pretty basic but ok

Lovely village pub, great service and friendly place.

Birthday meal was booked for the restaurant several weeks ago, but disappointed when allocated a table in the bar when we arrived. It was noisy and attention to detail by staff was poor. We had to request cutlery on both occasions when served with starter and main course. The atmosphere in the bar was not conducive for a family meal. We were very disappointed with the meal..it seemed the staff was pandering to local friends rather that the paying customers. ,

Great location-overlooks lovely fields, great drinks-good selection of lager and ales and great food-good quality pub grub, perfect country pub, looking forward to our next visit!

We had a impromptu meal here on Saturday early evening. A table was free for and hour and a half. They had a small outside menu until they return back inside. I chose the salad with dates strawberries balsamic vinegar. Yes it sounds a bit weird but the vegan block cheese was heaven. So much so so ive gone and bought some. The salad was divine.... The wine a little too pricey at £7.15 for a large.. id probably have a cider when we next go back. Great food 😋

Stopped in for an outdoor Sunday lunch during Covid-19 restrictions (meaning indoors wasn't open). Friendly service and tasty pizzas (we had the Meat Feast which was fantastic and the BBQ chicken which was also good). I had a half pint of bitter with my lunch and you can tell they know what they are doing cellar wise - was absolutely perfect. Don't know if they are CAMRA rated as didn't look around inside but I wouldn't be surprised if they were.

Nice friendly atmosphere good service.

Visited in April 2021 just after pubs reopened. Had a lovely time sat in the garden with a nice pint. Didn't try the food but looked on with envy at other tables as it looked fantastic. Only thing I didn't love was the music playing out during the afternoon on a Sunday which was a bit too much of a party vibe for a quiet Sunday but I suppose the kids like it :)

Very welcoming place the staff were fantastic, they have massive beer garden aswell

Great food and service. Busy. Good atmosphere.

Visited after part Covid restrictions lifted. Facilities and dining/garden well signed and managed. Wouldn't go at night as too cold, but they do offer to borrow a blanket for £5.00 or you could buy one for £10.00! hmmm!!

Went for a drink, tables well set out and plenty of space. Very busy (Sunday afternoon) but service OK. Food looked lovely.

Brilliant time at the Pheasant. Staff and owner really good. Thanks.

Nice &friendly place,good pub grub

Went for afternoon tea. Absolutely gorgeous. Homemade savouries and scones. The littke dish of Christmas pudding was just divine. Great couple who run it. Thank you.

Beautiful places, matched with beautiful presentation of the meals... just the price felt too ala carte for what you had

Waited 40 minutes for food which was dry and overcooked. No explanation why it took so long and poor service /attentivty given it was table service.

Lovely food,lovely atmosphere and lovely owners. Couldn't ask for any more.

Amazing food and brilliant friendly staff made it a lovely evening for us last night. We will definitely be back soon. Highly recommend! Thank you
