Haywain in Huntingdonshire

Great pub with good food and friendly service

Good place for a drink, especially while watching football on the multiple screens. The food is good value too.

Amazing local with fantastic engaged staff in a proper community area

Parking was easy. Polite friendly staff. The best tasting fish and chips we have had for a long time. Meal was served in a reasonable time. Excellent quality and quantity.

Amazing local community pub friendliest staff and great food and drinks

Great staff, very affordable prices. We just moved into the area. Its good to call this pub our local now :D

Brilliant pub, friendly staff. Great atmosphere. Looked after us very well. Thank you Steve and the Team

Visited on a Sunday afternoon. Plenty of parking in the car park. Plenty of tables available. Good service and food was great. Recommend.

We love going to "sizzling pubs " as we find them to have a good selection of food at the right price. This is the first time visiting this pub, it was OK, not brilliant but satisfactory. The food was great and very tasty. The only criticism I have is that it could do with a decorate and update throughout, as its looking a little shabby. Toilets leaking, no locking doors on cubicles, stains on doors just to list a few. Cannot complain about food , just the overall feeling of the place.

Steve, Sue and the team are always very welcoming and make the time to say hello and engage with you. Service always incredibly quick. Very friendly atmosphere. We didn't eat on this visit but have done frequently before and again, great value for money and extremely quick. If you like sport it does not matter where you sit, you will see whats on! We love going here.

Nice atmosphere. Good menu choices. Food arrived quite quickly. Excellent quality and quantity. Very good value. Polite staff. Definitely recommended.

It's a very friendly place . With a lot of good people. Who like to laugh . While taking the mick out of each other !!

We came for dinner with our two little dogs. The food was excellent. Everyone was extremely friendly and welcoming. The dogs had a lovely time being made a fuss of. Would 100% recommend. We'll be back. Thank you for a lovely evening.

Really enjoyed the food - I had the grilled chicken skillet and my partner the fajitas. Also had the calamari to start. We were gifted a groupon voucher but would definitely go back for the food. The landlord introduced himself and took our order. The staff who served us were all friendly and really helpful.

Food and Ale was great, will visit again for a value for money late lunch/early tea!

What's not to like. Wonderful welcome, knowledgeable staff in terms of beer, perfect. Food sensibly priced and delicious.

Daughter chose this place so 6 of us could join up from the north and south of the country for a family Christmas chat and meal. We had a nice secluded corner had good service and meals. Wife's fudge cake was enormous only problem was husband has never had hot cheesecake before. Wonders if that was an error.

Nice local. Good selection of beers and simple food. Good place to watch sports as there’s a tv everywhere you look but some of the screens can do with being updated as picture quality is poor

Another lovely meal. Fast, friendly service. Food fresh and great value for money. Recommended to all 👍

Great atmosphere and incredibly friendly staff. Been here a few times now and always get service with a smile. TV screens dotted around for the sports fans and lots of seating for customers. Quality of food is also incredibly good with a variety of different choices at very reasonable prices. Steve and the gang have done a fabulous job!

It's a place I only go in to drink beer, the atmosphere is great; The employees are friendly. I chose the local beer upon recommendation, but the taste was not to my taste. I liked this place and will come again.

There was nothing great. Customer service, we were not greeted or asked if the food was Ok, plates were taken from table without asking if they were finished, mayonaise provided at table was empty, ask for another and that was empty as well. Portion sizes and quality of food was poor compared to other Sizzlers visited.

Your made to feel welcome abd all staff are very helpful and will ho out there way to meet all your tables needs

Really welcoming and friendly bar staff, good choice of drinks, will be visiting more often .. nice local pub feel that's hard to find nowadays

The Landlord, landlady and team are always welcoming and friendly, which I believe makes the pub atmosphere friendly too. The pub is always clean, and the foods good.

Visited to watch football. Great selection of real ales. No food this time but have enjoyed their sizzlers on previous visits.

Clukin burger with chips and onion rings consisting of a double chicken burger that was absolutely lovely while my daughter had the chicken Cajun wrap with chips,very friendly staff and very clean pub,I will be looking forward to trying other meals on the menu in the near future….

The staff are extremely welcoming and friendly nothing is to much for them. Very nice clean warm environment

We shared a quick snack, good price and good food

Went when Graham Buxton was singing. Great atmosphere.

Lovely service, good, hearty food. A lovely pub, now our local!

Great pub with a friendly atmosphere

superb food .. courteous service .. has twice set aside a tv to permit me to watch the formula one motor racing.

It was absolutely amazing very cheap food but great quality I recommend that anyone who wants to dine out to go there

Good food and children friendly

Absolutely banging pub, amazing food and great service all round 😊

Been here for food twice with my grandad and I love how varied the menu is. I had the brownie which was a bit too rich for me but I like 3 sugars in my coffee so take from that what you will. It looked amazing and I would have finished it if I had a bit more ice cream but that is just personal preference. I much prefer it here than the other 'cheap and cheerful' options close by. They all have the same boring menu and haywain doesn't. They even have hotdogs here!

Went here for a surprise birthday party and had a brilliant night. The pub was clean, and the glasses were cleared away quickly. The toilets were more than adequate and clean. The buffet provided by the pub was varied, fresh, and lovely. All in all a fantastic night

The Haywain does the best sizzling steak ever, and the service is faultless. Difficult to find fault with anything, but a fresh coat of paint on the gents toilet door would be nice.

Brilliant pub, friendly staff, lovely regulars. Awesome for watching sport or listening to the great live music on offer. Also serve good food.

1.99 for four tiny pieces of garlic bread No utensils given on delivery when asked

Great food, friendly atmosphere and family friendly.

Speedy service, friendly staff!!!

The price of the food is average, the taste is good, the service is good, the atmosphere is like a bar restaurant, the restaurant takes a long time, but the price is really affordable

Basic pub grub at a decent price. Live music so can be very noisy.

Friendly and helpful staff. The food was delivered to my table quick and I love it. Will be back again for sure

Shame they don't do Vegan options Otherwise would recommend

Beer quality and choice was excellent, sadly the prices even with a generous CAMRA discount remain one of the highest in the area.

The menu, service, staff and place are excellent!! The decor and a re-pAint refresh is needed at Haywain. Plus a little more varied background music and things on screen!

Always friendly staff. Good for sport.

Had a lovely Saturday drink watching the football.. great banter and amazing service as always. Steve and the team are brilliant.

Great pub. Great food . Great service. Good choice of ales and friendly staff. The food is excellent value for money

Lovely food, friendly made to feel really welcome

Always very friendly, landlord and team always go out of their way to look after you, when eaten there food very good and very reasonable prices.

Not a great experience. Big man ‘I’m the landlord’ behind the bar thought I was ‘trying it on’ with his barmaid. Shouted at me and walked off. I’m new to the area and was making small talk. I’m also married with children. I was in absolute shock. Avoid like the plague! Well done Steve. Hard man!

Went in for a sizzling steak, it was amazing. So we'll cooked, served well.

It's a great pub but the only reason a pub can be bad is because its atmosphere hasn't had the food here so not sure how it is but everything else is great.

Rather loud and excitable dart match in progress.some not very nice language emmited by the players, especially with young children playing and eating In the same room.

Amazing food, amazing service, warming atmosphere. You will always be welcome here and get to know the bar staff well.

Ha lunch here Thursday very good value 2 meals for £10 very friendly staff good atmosphere .

Recently came into the haywain after years of living in the local area. The landlord, Steve, is fantastic. A good selection of lagers and ales and fantastic vibe with friendly locals and all the games shown on sky and BT. If you want a nice and friendly boozer with good locals and friendly people, I cannot recommend it enough!

Great food and a brilliant atmosphere, especially Fridays with the live music.

Fanatics atmosphere lovely food all dietary needs were met, staff are amazing couldn’t do more for me and my family. Can’t wait for our next visit we will be weekly. Steve the landlord was brilliant.. great pub 😁😁

Visited with 3 friends for lunch on their recommendation. Their gamon and chips and fish and chips were decent, but my lasagne was unrecognisable. One tiny piece of pasta, no ragu or white sauce to be seen. Was more like mince stew with cheese on top. But the main reason I'm leaving this feedback is for my shocking experience with my drink. I returned my first beer as it was rancid. The couple serving showing no surprise and offering no apology. I was then poured different beer that as it over flowed - the lady poured the overflow from the slop tray into my beer to top it up!!!!! If I hadn't been with friends I would have walked out there and then.

Love this place, the landlord & his staff, he's so welcoming.

Nice food ,price you get what you pay for ,steak was fatty but wife's was all good ,good selection menu,food was very 🔥 hot

Out of 4 meals ordered 1 was not as described. A bed of vegetables turned out to be lots of onions and a few slices of red pepper chicken so dry unable to eat , 3 times I brought this the server each time he walked off and left this unedable meal in front of me .. other meals very nice we left with out desert and further drinks

Excellent place good beer and good food

The service was fine and the staff were very nice however this is definitely the worst sizzler I’ve visited. The whole place is like working man’s drinking club club not a restaurant . Too many tvs playing football and rowdy drunk locals .The place is full of dirty and dated fixtures and fittings . Is in desperate need of a clean and refurb . The food was awful. This is the first time I’ve ever ordered a sizzling steak when the plate wasn’t too hot to touch , the food was all dried up , lukewarm and shrivelled clearly cooked some time ago. Wet onions and shrivel mushrooms. Fish chopped in half to adjust the portion size. Beer that tasted like fouled pipes and flat coke. Sorry to leave such a bad review but when you visit a chain you usually know what to expect , like food quality, environment etc, however this really soured the opinion of the chain. Just look at the overflowing piss rivers in the toilets. Needless to say by the time we travelled the 25 minutes to get home our belly’s were hurting.

Great, family friendly pub with a buzzing atmosphere

Simple food but fresh and cheap and good portion sizes.

I went there with my daughter and we had a drink and a dessert while we were listening to live music. The dessert was delicious. The music very nice and the atmosphere great. Got my recommendations.

Good pub, good food. Landlord and staff are really welcoming.

Good local showing the football, nice and cheap the beer is always decent

Friendly atmosphere pub, good prices, live music on Fridays, good food. Poker on Thursday nights, darts on a Wednesday and quiz on Mondays.

The most important thing in a pub is the welcome. We always feel very welcome due to a brilliant landlord and his top quality staff. The food was perfectly prepared, of good quality & served promptly. In our opinion, the food & drink is of much better quality than the nearest Wetherspoon and better value. The Monday quiz is excellent and with Steve's presentation, hugely entertaining.

Great meal, real value for money. Friendly staff. Sport on multiple tv's and dog friendly. Highly recommended

Went for dinner one day over the weekend the pub was very busy yet we got our food within 25 minutes I had the ribs and the wife had the jerk skewers both were absolutely amazing one of the kids is also very fussy and the staff got him exactly what he wanted. we was also greeted by very welcoming staff and had a lovely time as ever thank you

Went for lunch on Sunday had the club Sandwich and it was absolutely gorgeous I think adding coleslaw is a brilliant touch compliments to the satff and the chef

Had a lovely meal and really friendly staff

I ordered a cheese & red onion loaded toastie (supposedly) but it was awful it were brown toast but both sides were burnt and the filling had lots of coleslaw in it, no sight of cheese at all, I will not visit again.

Could do with a refurb. Lots of flies. Plenty of choice of beer and reasonably priced food and drink.

Nice and tidy place, nearby free parking. Fairly quick service. Outdoor seating which doubles as a smoking area, partially covered, with a TV. It has a couple of water dishes for dogs so I guess it must be dog friendly in the outdoor space at least. Food was OK but no specials just the regular Sizzling Pubs menu. The app was a bit of a struggle on recent visit as the layout doesn't seem to be the best for a reasonable sized phone? Quite a number of items were marked as unavailable but it quite quiet and service was quick. Update 4/22 very quiet for Sunday lunchtime and yet service was slow, mega mixed grill arrived with only one egg and not two, mushrooms were completely absent losing one star from previous review.

Am sure this has changed hands, service was appalling, had to wait half an hour despite being quiet. Meal delivered to table was not as stated. My roast beef was smothered in pepper and should have been sliced, husband mixed grill didn't have extra egg. Was put in a corner, that was ok until the sound was put on TV above our head, thus needed a quick getaway, which staff didn't acknowledge even though there was many staff, serious staff but polite. Shame as the experience here on other occasions has been so good.

The Haywain is a great pub to eat at. Food is reasonably priced and well cooked pub grub. The menu has recently been updated and is brilliant. They have plenty of screen to watch the sports plus they do a regular quiz and poker tournament. The landlord is awesome and is supported by a great friendly team.

Lovely nice place to enjoy and relax

Very helpful and friendly and great service

Most welcoming local pub with the friendliest of landlords and bar staff. Food is lovely and the breakfast is to die for !

Good range of beers and they do a superb breakfast. It would appear breakfasts served at weekends

Only one word to describe the evening meal I had at the Haywain - dreadful!

Very nice pub. Good options for drinks and we can't wait to come back and join the quiz!

Spacecious sitting area at the pub. Both patrons and owner respect individual space. Great pub for drinking out 👍

We have just been in haywayne st ives for family lunch service was quick didnt feel very welcome by staff and food was dreadfull will not be going back or recommend it to anybody

Good food, exceptional prices, great staff and beers on point. Took the family for the first time about a month ago and will do again. Also, the punters are a great bunch of people.

Lovely and festive, little disappointed in the sharing platter mushrooms a bit over fried but okay apart from that. It's seems a regulars pop in so friendly for that aspect.

Great staff very friendly. Cracking food and nice family atmosphere.

Turned up late notice 5 people and a highchair had no issue seating us, food was very nice, was very reasonable price and staff and service was excellent will definitely be back here for another meal soon, the roast chicken was one of the better ones we have had locally aswell couldn't have asked for a better Sunday meal thank you.

Excellent food at vary reasonable prices. Staff are very friendly and efficient. Wide variety of beers all at reasonable prices. We'll worth a visit.

A community pub at its finest with a publican who understands customer service. Saturday morning breakfasts and Monday evening quizzes are treats which don't come around quickly enough.

Fantastic food great service took my dad for lunch and he absolutely loved it
