Histon Smokehouse in Cambridge

The breakfast was a little slow coming from the kitchen but was very good when it arrived. Good quality breakfast food, nicely presented. The waiters were friendly and welcoming. A reasonable price too. Parts of the building are under renovation so entrance is from the back and there is limited parking on site at present.

This restaurant doesn’t look all that interesting from the outside but this is more than made up for in the food and service inside. We had made a reservation and were welcomed and seated quickly. Both of us chose the ‘brick chicken’, one with the Korean sauce and the other with gravy. The chicken was succulent and very tasty and the sauces excellent. Served with two sides of our choice and a mini pot of coleslaw. All excellent. Attentive service by friendly and knowledgeable young man (didn’t get his name but he was excellent and able to answer all our questions about the menu). Desserts very good too. The decor is rustic with wooden tables which gave a casual feel. Variety of diners, including families with children and couples. My only negative observation is that some of the upholstered chairs need a thoroughly good clean as there were obvious grubby marks from previous spillages. It didn’t put me off eating there but perhaps it might bother some diners. We will definitely be back one day.

Used to be Phoenix Chinese which was good and very posh , the make over is very rustic and have external area now out back . Went on sat 2.00 as a mothers day treat Staff were very friendly sevice was promp the we had burgers 1 chicken 2 signature burgers . The chicken was very hot , bit too much for mother , did not give cooking option on burger and what came was not juicy in my opinion way over cooked but I find most burger places over cook these days h&s I’m told . But eating leather is not good if we go again will try steaks and give burgers a huge wide berth . Sad that you have to cook your own to get a decent burger these days .

OMG. Fantastic food, brilliant staff {Rebecca). Everything just perfect. Prices were okay, portions great. Haven’t enjoyed a place that much for years! Can’t wait to go back.
