Hole in the Wall in South Cambridgeshire

Great choice of food and the home made cheese cake was amazing! Waiters didn’t rush you and the building is gorgeous. Would go again.

1. Hot water in neither men’s or women’s toilets work and were not very clean. 2. Served pigs in blankets and stuffing with roast beef and Yorkshire pancakes. Really ?? I’m mean there’s a first for everything and no, it was not good. 3. I could deliver a lot more detail. Hope this helps. Will not eat there again.

Although we live fairly locally, had never been toTHITW. What a treat, will definitely be going back. The food was wonderful and, although very attentive, the staff were never obtrusive, allowing you to relax, enjoy good food in the company of good friends. Will definitely be going back. Thank you!

Cosy yet quite stylish, friendly and welcoming service throughout Great choice on the menu, cooked to perfection. Wish this venue was near my home

We had a 3 night stay and enjoyed the peaceful location excellent food and a great welcome by Sid and the team.The food was delicious freshly prepared and a good menu choice.We enjoyed it so much one day we sat in the garden and relaxed looking forward to our evening meal.Preferring that to the hustle and bustle of Cambridge.The hole in the wall is a gem of a typically English country pub reasonably priced for the attention you get a real treat

We went for Sunday lunch and the place was buzzing, which was a testament to the high quality of food and good service. The food was absolutely amazing. Two of us had the roast dinner with trio of meats and every single mouthful of all of the meats was delicious: thinly carved, juicy and succulent. A great selection of sides with the meat, plenty of rich tasty gravy and when my husband tasted the roast potato he said "I feel like an angel is massaging my tongue". The third member of our party had the scampi and chips and this was reported to be very good as well. We also had desserts which were extremely tasty. The service was good and surprisingly quick given how busy the restaurant was. Some of the staff were very friendly, others more brisk and business-like, but nobody was ineffective. Overall the cost was £100 for three people (drinks, mains and desserts) which given the quality of the food felt very reasonable. The only minor downside was that the car park was very full and busy, hard to get in and out of. If you're there at a busy time and travelling by car, it might be better to park a little further away and walk back (not directly on the junction opposite though as some patrons had evidently done).

Chose this Pub as no 1 for Sunday lunch in the Cambs area and it did not disappoint. Really loved the food which was very tasty and the beef was actually rare and hot, the gravy was superb, plus some nice seasoning on the potatoes. All the staff were friendly. Will definitely recommend this pub to friends. and family, hope to visit again soon.

Stayed nearby for a few night's and wanted to find an alternative to our hotel restaurant. Initially this didn't come up on TA but so glad we found it. Quirky historic building pleasant interiors and either restaurant or snug to eat in. Good menu choice supplemented by specials and themed evenings, we were there on steak night and the fillet was excellent cooked just right. Quality of all the food was excellent, well presented and high quality. Good choice of wines and cocktails which were reasonably priced. Good service and attentive staff made it a very pleasant evening.

Another great dinner at THITW. Sid is everything that you would want a gastropub Maitre D' to be: friendly, courteous and welcoming. And his kitchen colleagues are producing some wonderful meals. All of this in a charmingly picturesque building. Thank you.

we have just had a amazing meal at the hole in the wall cooked by the amazing chefs it was a selection of different starters & currys from different parts of India beautifully cooked 10 out of 10

Nice restaurant, with ample parking space, in an attractive building. Friendly welcome, excellent food for a very reasonable price.

Its great for couples actually any ways we went with a kid and every staff was friendly. Ambience, food, the location everything seemed cool here.

We went out of our way to visit this place. Couldn't have been a worse start to a weekend away. Quirky old building, traditional pub furniture, traditional menu, traditional punb service, traditional careless housekeeping, poor quality food. First thing noticed was that when we tried to lift our glasses we found they were stuck to the table! As was everything else....but it did make us question what the rest of the experience would be like. We were happy to be going away for a long weekend and didn't want to start off with a complaint so let it go by just being careful not to touch the table top! Starter was a plate of loaded nachos - not much can go wrong there we thought: shop bought nachos were ok but miserly toppings and a laughably tiny portion of shop bought creamed avocado, and even more laughable was the tomato salsa a.k.a. ketchup!! We though things surely couldn't get worse. They did. My order of 'Golden Tail Scampi' turned out to be a cylinder of some kind of white pap coated in breadcrumbs. No taste and I would be amazed if it had even seen a scampi in its vicinity...I couldn't eat them so left them - I didn't intend to eat any potatoes (we had a Michelin star restaurant tasting menu booked for the evening so didn't want to spoil it) but as I was a bit peckish I ate a couple - best bit of the meal. My husband thought he couldn't go wrong with a burger so ordered bacon & cheese burger. Massively disappointing terribly processed and overcooked (as meat processed to that extent needs to be) bacon flabby left most of it. Very good sweet potato fries. Chef did come out to find out what was wrong - I broke open one of the scampi to show him the pap: he said he must have a word with his fishmonger! We didn't even bother to mention about the burger. They knocked the scampi off the bill. We cannot recommend you visit this place, but we can recommend that you don't.

After a day at Newmarket races, we had booked rooms for the night at Hole in the Wall. On arrival we had a little wait at the empty bar for any service but were met by the lovely manager Sid, who showed us to our rooms. We had booked two rooms one above the bar and one outside. The one above the bar was used by my son and his wife. My son is over 6ft but even so the door of the room was so small he really had to crouch to get in and his head almost touching the ceiling of the room and had absolutely no chance of being able to use the shower. They told us the following morning they'd had no sleep due to noise from the bar and what sounded like the thud of darts hitting the board. Our room on the other hand was decent to stay in, however the noise of people going in and out the bar and restaurant was awful and as people.left in cars, the road passed directly by the room and woke us several times. So as far as accommodation goes, not somewhere we would go to again. Onto the food and absolutely no complaints in terms of the quality. Its a gastropub and prices were a bit more than you'd pay in a normal pub and portion sizes not so big but they were beautifully cooked, presented superbly and tasted fantastic. Again the manager was attentive and the young girl in the bar was lovely but the two servers in the restaurant, despite being professional in serving food. made the night a little awkward with their command of English, we found ourselves having to explain what we wanted when ordering drinks and dessert, and then having to repeat it again when another of the two had to come back and try to figure out what we wanted even though it was only 2 simple desserts and a glass of Baileys. Finally when leaving the following morning there was no service to hand in keys even though we knocked on the door of the kitchen where people were working and clearly others had had the same issue as other keys were just left lying around at the bar. If you are after good food then, yes, give it a try, if you want a peaceful nights sleep, i'd consider somewhere else. Its the simple things that make places like this appealing to stay and we all felt that the lack of a decent night's sleep and comfort let it down

We found this little diamond on the off chance when visiting Cambridge. The friendliness of the staff was second to none, so polite and helpful. We had both a main and a dessert and they were both absolutely amazing! A fabulous place to sit either inside the cozy snug or outside on one of the many tables. I can’t recommend this pub/restaurant enough.

Dined twice, on a Monday and on Tuesday! We were looking for somewhere to have an evening meal and found this lovely place! we chose a variety of dishes between the four of us and found the quality and service was excellent, we enjoyed the...

We decided to have lunch here after visiting Angelsey Abbey as my two friends haven’t eaten here before. Although I’m not vegan I had the vegan risotto because I was curious to taste their version of kale which I grow. It complimented the mouthwatering and...

Decided to stay here after a day at Audley End. Very happy with the room, you have to be aware its a very old building so its a bit crooked upstairs. We were greeted by a very friendly guy at the bar and he ensured...

Great friendly country pub that dates back to the 14th century. good and varied menu, that was well presented and well priced. Helpful and well trained staff.

Stayed for two nights. Beautiful room.. fabulous breakfast, great dinner.. wonderful, friendly service! Even a surprise celebratory desert for our anniversary!

Great service from the manager. Lovely country pub with nice food, but the quantities in our family group of 4, who chose different options, varied from quite small to a bit too large.

This is a lovely setting, but I'm not sure if there was a problem this evening. The food was nice, but very pricey for what in essence was pasta, scampi, burger, fish and chips etc. Service wasn't brilliant either and hour waiting for main course....

An Excellent 14th century country pub and restaurant, the food is superbly presented and well priced, the staff are attentive and friendly. So I highly recommend it.

We attended a wedding reception at the pub and had a wonderful experience. The pub is in a small village location and has lots of original features, ideal for a wedding reception. We were made very welcome, the service was very attentive and the menu...

Having had a lunch here in June and being so blown away by the amazing food , service and ambience, we booked lunch for our family - 10 adults, a child and a baby. It is always a risk being a large group but we...

This place is absolutely beautiful the rooms are comfortable and extremely clean and well equipped. The food in the pub is high quality and extremely well presented. The breakfast was absolutely delicious. Highly recommend.

We stayed here for 1 night after a day at the races. We were very impressed by everything to be honest, the room we had was spotlessly clean, well appointed and had a very comfortable mattress. Spot on. We also enjoyed a three course meal...

Cannot rave about this place enough. Room was huge, spotlessly clean and just perfect for a peaceful getaway. Dinner was faultless and breakfast certainly set us up for the day. The staff cannot do enough for you but Sid is just exceptional, he is such...

Excellent food, friendly polite service and reasonably priced in a quiet country setting. We will go again and would certainly recommend to others

This really is a hidden gem. We stayed overnight for my husband's birthday. The room is beautiful, the staff are so attentive and can't do enough for you. A lovely pub, and a fantastic breakfast all at a very reasonable price. Would most definitely stay...

Fantastic Dinner, very helpful with our choices and dietary requirements. Will be going again on Wednesday for Caribbean night. Would recommend anyone to go, great service and food.

Excellent food and good menu choice. Efficient and friendly staff - nothing too much trouble for them. Choice of covered outdoor seating

This is a friendly, welcoming restaurant in a wonderfully remote location but close to Cambridge. The building does ooze history and charm and this is complemented by the attentive staff and amazing foo. We went as a family on their first Caribbean night and the...

It's all a bit of a shame......Restaurant/Pub is a very nice building in a nice village setting and the staff are all very pleasant and trying very hard, it's just that the food is very ordinary. We went for a Father's Day lunch and we...

Lovely pub with really nice food and great staff who can’t do enough for you. We visited tonight (17th June) and were very happy. Great value for money and a great little place. Wish we had eaten there last night. If your nearby check this...

I recently stayed here for 6 nights split over 2 weeks. The company I just started to work for booked me in here and I must say it was a wonderful experience. The room was wonderful with a very comfy bed and decorated and furnished...

Two words - Chicken. Skewers. Honestly worth the travel to go to this place. Loved the food and will definitely go back. Staff were attentive but not imposing. Price was very reasonable.

After reading the excellent reviews about the Hole in the Wall, decided to give it a try. Went for a mid-week lunch. Lovely ambience, excellent friendly service and delicious well presented food. Will return. Highly recommend.

We would highly recommend the Hole in the Wall for a cosy dinner or a family occasion. The food was excellent, good choice of wines and beers, and they made us feel very much at home. Great little place in a lovely village.

Excellent staff and services and food. Would highly recommend. Lovely setting fast service. Lovely place for special occasions

Great drinks and friendly atmosphere. Fine dinning and delicious desserts. Cosy decoration and super clean.

We had a brilliant nights stay. We will be back, the room was decorated great, clean and had everything we needed. Nice little patio area, where we sat in the evening and had drinks on a warm summers evening. We had a lovely walk around...

Great food, nice varied service and brilliant service. We’ve been a few times in the last year and it’s one of our favourite places. Also very child friendly. Can’t fault it.

We went to this pub having not visited it for a few years, but will certainly be back! We had such a super evening made more special by the lovely attentive staff. Millie especially is a real star member of the team and so engaging....

Wedding anniversary lunch on 1st May, with our 9-year old son too. It couldn't have been better: considerate service and superb food. This is a hidden gem in the Cambridgeshire countryside.

Zowel de overnachtingen als het eten waren fantastisch. Een eigen studio met privé ingang direct naast de pub. Chef Tryfun...

We stayed for one night after visiting Cambridge. Our suite was grand and beautifully eccentric. The dinner and breakfast were superb. The staff and the manager/chef Tryfun were all attentive and helpful.

This has been one of the worst dining experiences we have had in Cambridgeshire in nearly 10 years. This used to be a very reasonable restaurant, however now it seems the owners are running it down. A great shame, as this has previously been a...

After a walk on Little Wilbraham Fen, we repaired to the Hole in the Wall for a sandwich lunch. We were made very welcome and were served a well-presented, delicious lunch. This establishment deserves to be more well-known.

First visit to this gastro pub for some years and under new owners. We were pleasantly surprised to find that it has not lost any of its traditional charm. We were greeted warmly and efficiently by lovely staff who looked after us well throughout the...

One of the coldest nights of this winter and the radiator by our table was barely warm, possibly off. It was off in the gents. I didn't check the ladies. We were dressed to be comfortable on a cold night assuming some heating would be...

Genuinely one of the best meals I've ever had. I had one of the daily specials of duck with a pea and spinach risotto so if that ever goes into regular rotation I would 100% recommend it. Also very helpful with allergens etc as my...

The Hole In The Wall, Little Wilbraham, is a friendly, welcoming restaurant in a wonderfully remote location. The building oozes history and charm. It is clean and well maintained and there is a smile to greet you on entry. We chose it because it had...

My fiance and I enjoyed a very special evening at The Hole in The Wall. It was a valentine Night. We ordered Camembert, scallops and steak. The food was Classic and the flavours were perfectly spot on. It amazes me to see beautiful plating done...

We had lunch in the restaurant today, this was our first visit, we all 3 enjoyed every aspect of our meal and will certainly visit again soon. Thank you too all the staff there who served us well with excellent food.

What is the “Hole in the Wall” wanting to be? A cosy pub? A cosy pub serving pub food? A restaurant also providing locals with a pub? As far as I’m concerned it is none of these.

Superb quality food and great service. Lovely choice on menu. Good desserts also. A gem of a find in rural area. Highly recommend.

Hubby and I went to Anglesey Abbey to see the winter garden and decided to stay over at this quaint country pub. We had lunch and drinks before checking in to our huge suite. I enjoyed a soak in the massive bath. We had the...

The staff were great location was also great, unfortunately the food was terrible value for money, a fillet steak at £29.95 with chips and coleslaw The coleslaw was genuinely between a tea spoon full and desert spoon, and the fillet steak although cooked well was...

We stayed here in November as a stop off when traveling to a further destination. The food was outstanding, so tasty .and superbly presented. I would definitely recommend this restaurant. Staff friendly. The room was cosy and clean.

Wow, what a hidden gem. The accommodation was cute and quirky. The owners were so friendly and the breakfast was amazing. Will be definitely returning.

We called in by chance without booking after visiting nearby Anglesey Abbey. What a lucky find. The food was superb. I have never had a flat iron steak before and found it tasty and tender. Service was brilliant with an extensive drinks menu as well...

Lovely staff, good steaks & very nice deserts. However, cod was dry, overcooked & lukewarm. Since when does a lamb shank cost £29.

This was a great find for our work Christmas Lunch - the set Christmas Menu was varied, excellent value for money and catered for the special diretary requirements we requested. The staff were excellent and nothing was too much trouble. There was a lovely atmosphere...

My partner suggested this place having had previous knowledge of the chef. It’s a lovely beamed building and the car park is accessed via - you’ve guessed it, a hole in the wall. They have two restaurant areas. One of reasonable size, just right for...

Mushy roast potatoes, small amount of vegetables, lack of cheese on the side order of cauliflower cheese. Apple crumble served in a ramekin with what looked like crushed biscuits spread on top, accompanied by an extremely small jug of custard.

Short stay with dinner to celebrate our wedding anniversary. Really relaxing stay due to the friendly and attentive nature of the staff. Food was excellent and our room was so cosy we didn’t want to leave. Had a great evening with some very friendly locals...

Reviews were great. I was looking for proper home cooked food. Crispy roasties baked in the oven an assortment of fresh veg, good meat. However I felt disappointed. 7 of us. The restaurant was comfy 2 of us had whitebait- sadly it was breaded frozen...

Dined here because of the excellent Tripadvisor reviews and we weren't disappointed. On a wet gloomy night we were greeted by our very friendly host who escorted us through to the cosy public bar which had a log fire blazing in the hearth. This very...

Absolutely fab Sunday lunch. Lovely atmosphere and nice staff ……as usual !! Table only booked this morning , last minute gig

This was our first visit. Both the food and service were excellent. We will certainly return. Thank you.

Delicious food from a varied menu that was reasonably priced. Good service and the small dining room was full which made for a good atmosphere on a Wednesday lunchtime. Prawn and chorizo starter was excellent and very nicely presented and the lamb curry was a...

Great service from Sid from start to finish. Stayed here for business as a short stop over and would definitely recommend! A nice cold beer at the bar whilst and a very nice barman who informed me about the history of the building. Very clean...

Perfect place to escape from the city rush, amazing interiors and extraordinary service. The restaurant offers wide range of wines. The Sunday roast is the best we ever had before, with the gravy to be one of kind, compliments to the head chef and kitchen...

We have visited this lovely pub many times during the past two years and always found the food exquisite and great quality. Neil the head-chef is amazing and the waiters very friendly. We would recommend it without hesitation.

From arrival at The Hole in the Wall until our departure, we couldn’t have been looked after any better by the Hosts. Our luggage was taken up to our quirky, spacious room with more than ample facilities, a special feature being the modern, freestanding bath....

Buena comida, buen servicio, pero apple crumble…. Una delicia. Solo por probarlo merece la pena la visita. Volveremos 👍

Came here for a mid week dinner for the first time since the change of ownership after reading excellent reviews. We were not disappointed as the food was excellent. We had the cod and a steak plus dessert and were very happy with everything. Service...

Small village pub / restaurant. Food really is great. In the last few months every visit it improves. Today our food was simply excellent!

Arrived to be greeted by the manager, carried my bags to the room which is a separate cottage type place attached to pub Clean and cosy with everything you need Booked a table for dinner and was recommended the lamb curry, I don’t normally go...

This attractive pub has become our weekly lunch venue so good are the meals and service. There is a varied choice of food geared to suit all tastes. Although I am not vegan my favourite meal is Grilled Portobello Mushrooms, Thai Aubergine & Potato Curry,...

The aubergine and Thai potato curry is the best vegetarian meal I have ever had. So full of flavour and beautifully presented. I'm gluten free too so not that easy to cater for. The bratwurst with sweet potato fries was excellent. Service was great too....

It's been a long time since we last visited and I think it's hanged hands. Fancied a nice traditional Sunday lunch and chose here. Very friendly, bustling atmosphere, staff were attentive and the food was very good. We'll visit again.
