Little Rose in Cambridge

Such a great restaurant and lovely staff

I like this restaurant. Nice restaurant with friendly staff. Good variety of delicious food.

The little rose is a lovely place to eat just outside of city centre. The food was delicious, great atmosphere and the staff were all incredible. Our waitress Esme had the best service possible, would definitely come again.

Amazing service, friendly atmosphere ready for the festive season. The prawn and monkfish curry and cherry crumble is a delight and 100% worth the visit. Frankie was an amazing addition to the team so lovely and attentive through out our meal. Thanks again little rose Cambridge. We will be back!

Amazing food pleasant staff and lively atmosphere, can't fault this place and will continue to go as often as possible 😂

Last night I went here for my partners works night out with a few colleagues. Omg! the food was absolutely amazing. We chose the festive menu and it was lush and wow cooked to perfection with devine succulent turkey with fantastic beautifully cooked vegetables and a light flavoursome sauce/gravy. This is truely the best food I've ever tasted at any restaurant. The atmosphere was lovely and the service was excellent. The food was served within a timely manner. The deserts are to die for and I'd highly recommend trying the cherry crumble or the sticky toffee pudding as they were Absolutely beautiful. I'll definitely be coming back here to dine again in the future without a doubt. It's first class and as they say you get what you pay for and this is so worth every penny. Compliments to the chief. 10/10.

Loved everything, 2nd time coming here was better than the first, 3 years ago :) Deniz was nice to me. Will come back!

Visited in January and got horrific food poisoning from the oysters. Myself and my partner both had 1 oyster each and were violently ill for a good couple of weeks. It actually took months for my stomach to rebalance itself. Suspect it was vibrio. I can see a similar review was left in January on the same day as our visit so I presume the whole batch of oysters that day were riddled with something. I filled out the ‘contact us’ form on the website to report this but no one ever got back to me. Terrible treatment. Will never eat an oyster again and will certainly never return here. I would advise you to do the same.

Came in tye freshly opened Little Rose. The experience was amazing. From the moment we entered the pub the staff were helpful, friendly and professional! Me and my friends sat in the restaurant section and we were taken care from Pedro and Deniz. They were absolutely helpful with recommendations and excellent service! The waitresses Georgia and Tamzin were also really good in their service, checking always if we needed anything extra and making sure everything arrived on time! We had 3 roast beefs. Everything in excellent quality, warm and tasty! Sticky toffee pudding was recommended which I most certainly enjoyed! I highly recommend this place!

Great food and the service we received was excellent, however the restaurant is looking tired and therefore needs redecorating and the toilets could do with a serious makeover and clean

Didn't have a reservation but they still made a plan! Manager was an exceptionally character, food was unbelievable, what more do you need

Our party of eight ate at Little Rose last night. Both the food and service were excellent. We would throughly recommend it.

Great for lunch if visiting Fitzwilliam Museum

A disappointing visit. Food was not as hot as it should have been - 1 meal was sent back and 1 was unavailable without being told. Took a long time to take order although not busy Menus had to be asked for despite booking a week before.

The Little Rose is a fantastic pub in Cambridge. We were a large party of 12 that had a reservation fall through at a different venue. We called the Little Rose and they accommodated us straight away. They placed us in a great area and were really attentive. The food was great and the service fantastic. Great pub, great staff and great food.

Loved my visit here, lovely food! I would highly recommend.

Lovely pub, food looked great, and was very popular. Will be back

Lovely pub, with friendly staff and a nice atmosphere. We visited on a Sunday, and I had roast chicken, which was well presented and very tasty.

Lovely place, great food, and a lovely couple that manage it... I wish them well.

The atmosphere and the design inside the restaurant is very pleasant. It is clean and cosy. The food unfortunately was not at the level we expected after reading a couple of the reviews. The starters were nice and quite delicious. For the main course, We had a seabass which tasted nice, however, the sausages that were apparently fried not only once spoiled the dish. The tempura soft crust scallop burger was not tasteful and the crust was difficult to chew. The raspberry tiramisu was for some reason salty instead of sweet and had nothing in common with a tiramisu. We would come back for the atmosphere and some drinks and starters.

Lovely little small courtyard to sit outside and enjoy the English weather and get away from the hussle and bussle of the busy streets. Food looked nice although we didn't have any. We sat outside for some drinks and the staff were very pleasant, we would certainly pop in again. Inside was very nice and toilets well looked after

I love the way it looked from the outside. We sat outside in the tavern garden? (I am not entirely sure what you call it). It looks beautiful, the waiting staff is quick and polite and the food had a good price for the quality you get. The inside was very cosy and it was busy, but not too crowded. I would definitely recommend going here.

I had a really bad experience with my lunch. The chicken liver profiteroles were rotten, grey-colored, and smelled bad. I only took a small bite, fortunately, because it looked spoiled, and it was decorated with fried chicken skin (what?!) which was extremely unappetizing. The cured salmon, avocado, and mango tartare was also terrible. The smoked (it should be mentioned on the menu, but it was not) salmon was randomly cut, not in cubes at all and smashed avocado seemed like it was prepared a couple of days ago. Soup was okay, I'll give you that one. Overall, it looked like the kitchen staff was off that day and was replaced by random people passing by.

Always able to get seated in here without booking. Although best to book at busy times. Good fresh fish menu along side other dishes. Staff very attentive and friendly every time we visit. Outside seating available in a side area of the building for food or just drinks. Good menu choice.

Popped our heads into this restaurant trying to find somewhere to eat earlish on a Sunday evening, and was pleasantly surprised that it was still relatively busy with a good atmosphere but still a few tables free. Food was decent and what you would expect at this price point, with a good range on menu covering family members that wanted a Sunday roast and those after more gastro pub grub. Kids choice good as well. The service was very warm and attentive and makes such a difference when eating out, especially in what you might have as expected in a touristy city. Quality German beer on tap as well!

Little Rose is a very beautiful place with the calmness of its garden and the attention of its staff. You should definitely try seafood. Believe me, you will like it very much!

The atmosphere and staff were delightful, and the food was excellent. A big thank you to Deniz for making our visit not only a memorable experience for us but also an unforgettable one for our puppy!

The Little Rose in Cambridge is a true gem! The staff are super friendly and the manager is awesome. They really know how to make you feel welcome. Great vibes, exceptional food, and top-class service. Definitely recommend checking it out!

Really warm welcome, which was the thing that made us come in and sit What a great place Lovely staff, great atmosphere, really relaxing Can't say how much I enjoyed spending some time there today on a hot afternoon A few excellent cold beers Fantastic

In no particular order, Deniz, Tima and Tom are an absolute delight. The food is delicious. My favourite table is just that. I have no higher praise...

Disappointed. Mediocre food. Steak was cooked well however not left to rest. There was blood all over the plate. Atmosphere was stuffy and quiet.

Beautiful inside and out, delicious cocktails and warm and wonderful service

Visited The Little Rose after a tiring excursion around Cambridge and it was the perfect spot to unwind. The cozy atmosphere and friendly staff made us feel right at home. We tried the Pimm's, which was refreshing and delicious. It's a charming spot, ideal for a relaxed evening out. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a welcoming pub in Cambridge!

My husband has chosen this restaurant to celebrate my birthday. We ordered 2 starters and 3 different fish dishes. They were tasty and after dinner my daughter asked me to give a excellent rating to Little Rose.

Very nice and kind staff, good drinks. I highly recommend this place.

Nailed the Fish and Chips, definetly reccomend

We were just casually finding a place to have some food and when we arrived at the restaurant the waitress Deniz or something there had a very unpleasant attitude and was soo rude to us by asking us to take a seat outside but we wished to sit inside..anyway after sitting down outside she was asking the other waiters to make us force our orders fast.. And also they didn't even gave us a proper food menu at the first place. And after all of this we just wanted to get out from there as soon as possible. And we did aswell.This was our first time here planning to have a great time but they dissapointed.. We'll not be returning.

Visited here at lunchtime, as first venue for a girlie celebration weekend in Cambridge! Very nice indoor table and loved the vibe/décor. Most of my friends ordered from the lunch menu and added a side of fries but I opted for the plant powered cheeseburger which I absolutely demolished as was very tasty. Unfortunately we were too full for desserts.

Ended up at the Little Rose pub when my other reservation was cancelled on me. Amazing service from the manager down to the waitresses.!

We came to celebrate with a a family after our daughter's HC. Perfect location from the church at OLEM! All guests were very pleased with the food and great service given by Deniz. Thank you so much for looking after us on that special day🙏

Really nice fish & chips with curry sauce, which tasted unexpectedly delicious!

After a walk in Botanical Gardens, we fancied a Sunday lunch, and this place looked nice with people enjoying their meal. In we went and ordered our food. I had roast pork with crackling, with roast potatoes, carrots, peas, and Yorkshire puddings. My partner had roast beef with the same trimmings. Both were delicious. The staff are friendly but a little inattentive as they forgot the cutlery and the drinks. The atmosphere was good and toilets are clean. I would recommend this place for a nice meal.

Literally the best burger sauce in the world and a special thanks to the staff who put up with my slightly mad request for take away burger sauce a few days after eating there

A lovely little find, we popped in for a drink after a museum visit and ended up staying for lunch and cocktails as the courtyard area was so welcoming. The food was delicious and served efficiently, quietly and with a smile. Very pleasant and enjoyable all round.

Super friendly service, great food! Highly recommending 🫶🏻

I was looking back through my open table bookings and it seems I have been here four times (although it’s more because sometimes others have booked!) so it’s about time for a review. It’s really nice to have a place that is pretty easily accessible, with friendly service and good food. The only one star off is that it can be a little inconsistent in how good it is. The occasional incredible fish special makes it truly good restaurant territory, but the majority of the menu is more just like a decent pub menu, and also a little too often they don’t have everything on the menu, even at lunchtime. Will keep returning though because there is generally something for everyone and the quality is good.

Very cute and comfortable gastro pub! Good food, polite and friendly staff, beautiful decor.

Delicious dishes. A cozy atmosphere. Impeccable service. Dedicated people. I wholeheartedly recommend The Little Rose.

Deniz was awesome served for us! I love the atmosphere and food! Thank you

Totally awesome. Deniz was great, helpful, understanding of dietary requirements.

I came for the fish and chips and it was one of the best I’ve ever had

We had a family meal at Little Rose, the food was delicious great choice, really good service just how it use to be attentive, gave us space and genuine. Would throughly recommend.

Lovely staff and exceptional fish and chips. Not too oily and perfectly cooked. Absolutely delicious! Loved it. Highly recommended!

Beautiful pub friendly and accomodating staff a lovely visit

Lovely restaurant with great customer experience. The waitress Ha and also the manager were very friendly and they exceed our expectations. The food was delicious. We brought our dog and they treat her as a Queen.

Highly recommend, we came Easter Monday evening so not very busy. Staff were all nice and friendly and the food was really good and well presented. Very much enjoyed our meal this evening thank you.

Omg! You should definetly try the Roasted Halibu! It was amazing...

Perfect place for lunch. It's just opposite the Fitzwilliam museum, making the location really convenient.

Avoid. Food was terrible. Service was out of the Fawlty Towers school of hospitality. They kept saying they were full for lunch but there were always tables free, even up to 2.30pm when we left. The barman was loud and seemed to enjoy throwing empty bottles into the bin from a distance. But mostly the experience stays with you as I can still smell the deep fat fryer results on my clothes. Bring back Loch Fyne.

Gone down hill since my last review, no Osters for the second time ive visited fish choice has been the same the hake was Discussting ,fish was ok but the sauce was rotten, The staff remain brilliant, sign says outside says best seafood restaurant in Cambridge, I totally Disagree,

Süper delicious food best fish and chips in Cambridge

Received serious case of food poisoning which they tried to cover up. DO NOT eat here. Disgrace of a restaurant which couldn't care less about their customers. Wouldn't feed their food to my dog.

A delightful dining experience awaits at The Little Rose . The food is exquisite, the atmosphere charming, and a special thanks to Tom for his exceptional service

The food was okay but the service was good.

Booked the night before and mentioned we had a dog which they were very happy to accommodate. Staff are very friendly. Service was very efficient. Seating is comfortable. I only had main, hake with braised leeks, mussels and onion soubise. It was excellent. Desserts were tempting. In all a very satisfying lunch.

Excellent lunch! Food was delicious and inventive. Seafood is their specialty but even the burger and fries were excellent. Staff very helpful and friendly.

Lovely evening out, great and friendly staff (Deniz). We ordered hake, risotto and venison, all delicious. Thank you!

Great food Deniz was very helpful

Great staff especially manager super helpful. Sunday lunch was the worst I have ever experienced tough grisly beef, flat diabolical Yorkshire and awful roast potatoes very poor quality food.

Wonderful as always, a great team and awesome service. Our go to Cambridge lunch spot.

Very helpful and accommodating staff, delicious food and great drink selection, had a good time definitely coming back 👌

Cosy restaurant serving delicious food.

Every one of us who went to the dinner got FOOD POISONED. The symptoms were identical. Apparently the food we consumed that night had some issue. We suspect the oyster or the fish had hygiene issue. Guys alert!!!! Need to be cautious!!!

Fish dishes are lovely, but others not so great. Roast okay but not the best value for the price, average quality. Go for fish! They really cook that well, whether starter or main.

Hervorragendes Essen in wunderschönem Ambiente.

Glad the mains were 50% off(only if you were registered on the website) otherwise would’ve been very disappointed about the quality of the foods. Starters were okay, although scallops were only seared one side and almost burnt as you can see in the picture and inside was not cooked evenly or thoroughly, which shows the level of the restaurant. Cuttlefish pasta was overcooked badly that the spaghetti was too soft and chopped off easily and almost had no taste, very bland dish with only chillies in it. Same for risotto, flavour of mushrooms was good but the rice was way beyond ‘al dente’, certainly not how it should be. Hake was alright but the portion was too small and didn’t go very well with the sauce as it was quite sweet. Whole Grilled sole was the best perhaps it was cooked well and finally something worth the price. Service was bit slow, but I understand as the restaurant was busy and only had 3 waitresses. Atmosphere is not bad, just feels like classic pub but the tables were bit uncomfortable and dangerous too as it was bit damaged. Wouldn’t be so excited to return again anytime soon unless there’s a promotion like this.

What can I say, but what an excellent meal, service and atmosphere. We went straight into mains and had the halibut. It was just simple, greatly cooked food. We didn't talk to each other whilst we ate it; just enjoyed the food. My wife is dairy free and they cooked the fish with different potatoes and sauce so she could have the dish. Too many restaurants just tell you what on the menu is dairy free. Here the chef was prepared to cook something different and equally good. Followed by dairy free chocolate mouse (far better than the ubiquitous sorbet!) and cheese and biscuits. A must visit restaurant. Well done to the team.

Delicious food and absolutely brilliant service. Knowledgeable, attentive and friendly!

H'mm. Difficult, basically felt ripped off. 50% off - well that's a joke, unless you have your solicitor read the T&Cs. Tiger Prawns in smoked garlic 3 x £11.00 delicious but ridiculously expensive(£33 +£5.50 for a handful of French fries). Halibut, spinach mash & a smudged hollandaise sauce - all dried out under the pass 😞. A third of a glass of a no name champagne £10.50. And lets just top it off with a 12•5% service charge. Sad, but just cannot recommend 😕

Excellent staff. We went in as a group and in the end just had a drink as very limited choice for veggie options

Great service Great food Great atmosphere much better than than what was Locke fine atmosphere, Dennise was particularly pleasant with a great welcome back to us she would make a great permanent maneger,absolutely charming lady,all other staff very pleasant to.all in all a very pleasant experience.

Honestly a tremendous restaurant. The staff were very attentive but not overbearing at all. The drinks were really great. We had a selection of drinkers and non drinkers and each person was happy. As for the food... it was 10/10. Great portions, nicely flavour and elegantly presented. Served with a smile. Honestly I wonder where the bad reviews come from. It's opposite one of the most iconic buildings in Cambridge and way from the annoying hustle and bustle. Pop to the eagle for a drink before hand and stroll down to this restaurant for a true Cambridge experience. Thank you little Rose! Little Rose - Big Success. Keep it up. We'll be back. P.s. The oysters were so fresh. Must try (if you like oysters)

We were craving for oysters and this is the nearest restaurant in town which would provide a good seafood platter. We tried and honestly delicious! Other cooked dishes were nicely done as well. Highly recommend to people who wish to have an easy night-out while visiting Cambridge.

Had a lovely time very professional and friendly atmosphere will definitely be going back .

For £89 for a Christmas lunch I was a little disappointed, rock hard sausage meat, watery parsnip puree, 3 tiny sprouts, and no Yorkshire pudding, the menus makes it sound like fine dining when actually it’s just bog standard pub food and not even hot - also was a bit fed up there was no offer of a condiment, cranberry sauce or mustard and not even any salt and pepper on the table and I’m sorry but the whole place stinks of rotting fish! Should have asked for a refund…..

Lovely for office Christmas Dinner. Very comfortable, great service and lovely food. Definitely recommend.

Although the food and service were very good for Sunday lunch it was let down for us by the fact that our table was on a thoroughfare and I was constantly being knocked into. You even start to brace yourself when someone is coming through which I have to say ruined for us. When the table next to us left we moved our table closer to it so as to negate the knocking. Why put a table on a thoroughfare?

Went there for work christmas lunch. The food was excellent.

Food was great but the service isn’t attentive and they forgot some of our food

We visited on 7 December for our company Christmas meal. We all agreed that the food was delicious and the staff worked so hard to make sure we all had a great time. Highly recommend!

I visited Cambridge for the day and had a lovely lunch here with my son, our dog and two of my sisters . All the team were so very welcoming and warm that I would visit Cambridge again just to eat at Little Rose again! My dog Finn also received lovely treatment with some tasty morsels of venison! The pub itself is very cosy and had a particularly festive feel to it. I wish I'd asked the name of the wonderful team member who served us as she deserves a special mention for looking after Mel's lunch kooking so well on Monday 11 Dec. Thank you once again and Merry Christmas to the Little Rose family!

Very good food very good service

lovely place, good service and beer, but very mediocre food at far from bargain prices. My tesco burger just now was leagues better, the veal looked very disappointing and the curry interesting but tiny and served with expensive prawns that were not advertised as unshelled. shame as there is lots of potential

We had butter chilli squids and pumpkin soup for starter baked Hake and beef 😋, love the plating, and food was amazing 😋 Thank you for the wonderful service, Denise 😘

Lovely lunch was looked after by Stefanie. Will definitely be back for the next celebration.

After visiting for a nice relaxed lunch with friends, we got welcomed from the amazing Pedro who made our afternoon amazing. Highly recommended the cuttlefish pasta which was delicious! Highly recommended 👌

Not a good meal here. Maybe because of communication/expectation issues? For example, I was greatly looking forward to coconut rice, which ended up being plain rice with coconut flakes. My dining companion ordered the halibut special, which was a small flat piece of fish, tough potatoes with a poor texture, and a slight drizzle of hollandaise sauce. When she mentioned to the server it was not enough (after she was asked how the meal could improve), the server told us we should have asked for more hollandaise — how could we when we never saw her? She very kindly discounted our bill and encouraged us to try again. We left hungry and ended up at Brown’s down the street, where we had a much better experience. A fine evening with a kind server and nice atmosphere, but doesn’t seem to be a place to go for your entree.

On our day trip to Cambridge we found this cosy and charming restaurant . My husband ordered veal and I had scallop . Both meal were delicious 😀 Ms Deniz who served us was very friendly and kind . Service was so professional . I highly recomend this restaurant to everyone who lives or visit Cambridge . Many Thanks to everyone in Little Rose .

Thank you Deniz!! Lovely hospitality and oysters!!

The food is just ok- we had a fair mix of starters and mains, none of which was remarkable, all of which were overpriced. They have no cask ales on tap and an odd selection of other beers. All of that could have been ok and we still could've had a nice Sunday afternoon experience, but the service was abysmal. It took ages to order our food and drinks, three separate servers to actually bring the water we asked for on the first order, and at least an extra 15 minutes to get the bill when it was time to leave. I'd return to any of the other pubs in Cambridge before going back here.
