Marquis of Granby in East Cambridgeshire

Great pub great atmosphere great hosts great beer.

Absolutely awesome night in there. Spent tonight, New year's eve 2022 in there. Great staff. Friendly customers.

Went here as part of a large group booking after a hike in the surrounding hills. Top class carvery, faultless. All veg was cooked perfectly, the roast potatoes were delicious and the carver (owner) was generous with the portions of succulent meat. Family run venue and the staff could not be more helpful and welcoming. Highly recommend and plan to return soon.

Nice pub in a lovely part of England 🇬🇧.Best pub in stetchworth in my book!.

Lovely Sunday roast with huge portions . Highly recommended . The carvery meats were cooked to perfection ! I will definitely be going back

Absolutely fantastic little pub the Sunday Carvery was spot on plenty of choice but most of all a warm welcome from the staff seeing as in a group of 5 that hadn't booked they were brilliant and on the plus side the bill for 5 with drinks 70.00 pounds.😊😊

Stumbled on this place and went in for the Sunday carvery. Cant describe the good quality of the food, the taste and the huge portion sizes. Seeing the cheesecake being served to another table , we ordered. A huge portion came to each one of us. Didn't think we could eat another mouthful we continued. It was heavenly. The warm welcome made our day. Thankyou thankyou thankyou.

A very nice friendly pub good choice of beers available

Huge portions and wonderful meat. Plenty of vegetables and gravy to go with it. Delicious puddings also.

Everything is first class great pint of London Pride.

Lovely BBQ in the garden. Gorgeous sunny day, delicious food and nice cold beer 🍻

Only ordered a cheese sandwich but was presented with a feast!! Nothing was too much trouble. Definitely worth a visit 😊😊

This is the first time I've left a pub without haven eaten due to it taking too long. We booked a table for 1.30 but the table wasn't ready till 2 (even though there were empty tables). We ordered promptly but starters didn't turn up till 2.40 and with no bread on the table we were now starving so ate these very quickly. As our main had still not arrived by 3.20 (nor our starter plates cleared) we then decided to cancel our food and left, leaving our empty starter plates on the table. No communication from staff about delays whatsoever. Utterly disappointed.

Completely shocked by what we just experienced?! Table booked for 1.30pm, not seated until 2pm (despite a completely empty restaurant area). The only reason we got our table was because we sat ourselves, otherwise we might still be waiting to be seated?! We ordered our food very promptly, but our Starters (2 bowls of Garlic Mushrooms & a bowl of Tomato Soup) didn't arrived until 2.40pm over an hour after our table was booked for. These Starters were finished by 2.50pm. Just before 3.30pm we walked out still leaving our Starter plates on the table which hadn't been cleared! No communication from the staff throughout our time at The Marquis; no apologies for any delays, checking we're ok, offer of more drinks, no bread on the table, especially with the delays? And tables not cleared?? Very poor and odd experience, and extremely disappointing! Originally handed dirty, gravy dripped menus, which was acknowledged by the staff, but still handed to us? Dirty menu included spelling mistakes. Staff also unaware what the Soup of the Day was or the Vegetarian option, despite these being the only choices not typed on the menu? Are these 2 choices hard to remember? The cutlery on the table was not even laid correctly. It was very clear they do not have Hospitality or Catering experience?! We are a large local family, with a long standing local business employing all local staff some living in Stetchworth. We have been going to The Marquis for our works Christmas Meal for years. Due to the change in staff, we visited today to enquire about Christmas. For us, our 'non' meal was very disappointing, but for The Marquis of Granby a lot of revenue has been lost by today's experience. Very, very disappointing!

Beer was good but if you are thinking of having food there plan for you to be there a while. We booked for lunch and arrived on time for 1:30pm It took 35mins to get us seated and that only happened because we got fed up of waiting and sat ourselves down. Finally we had our order taken but ended up waiting nearly 40mins for a bowl of soup and 2 portions of garlic mushrooms. At 3.25 with our starter plates still on our table we cancelled the meals and left. What a shame to see what this fantastic pub has turned into. Not only do we visit the pub for lunch but for the last several years we have had our company christmas meal for 15 of us there. The new staff need to pull their finger out before they loose the confidence of the locals. Not one person checked on us to see how our starters were. They were more concerned about looking after their friends on the table behind us. Well done for destroying the fantastic reputation the pub had when Kate ran it. If you dont know what your doing find out or give it up!

It's a good old school pub, decent beers on tap, and with legendary Sunday lunches.

Stopped here for Sunday lunch & I can honestly say it’s the best & biggest Sunday lunch I have ever had. Thank you Brian & Heidi best food ever.

Visited here on spec for lunch Family group , parents , Grandparents, Children. One person veggie , one coeliac . Neither of these was a problem Great choice of food , excellent quality , Masses of it . Brilliant value for money . Very welcoming and Chef was exceptionally friendly . Will definitely return

Great food! Bring your Tupperware!

Dropped in after a long walk and had a fabulous lunch good quality and plenty of food the most charming owners made us and the dogs feel very welcome a great find and we will return .

Amazing food and service! Portion sizes are large though. Very reasonable prices too

The Marquis of Granby provided 20 of us with a most approriate and delicious "morning tea"after a family member's funeral. It was all ready for us when we arrived, we were made most welcome, and everyone loved the food. There was no pressure on us to vacate the premises which was great as family were meeting up from far flung places such as Switzerland and Cornwall that day. Service and food first class. Lovely beef and parmesan sandwiches and salmon sandwiches, asparagus wraps to die for, cheese based wraps, delicious tiny scones, some with cream and jam, lovely light cake, serve yourself tea and coffee. Very friendly. Service couldn't be bettered.

Partner became very ill after eating beef Sunday roast (was his only meal that day) Emailed complaint but no decent reply. A shame as won't eat there again.

Excellent value for money and good food with generous portions.

Fantastic food and friendly atmosphere. Children and dogs always welcome. Good range of real ale. My most favourite sunday lunch ever!! Must try!!!

Superb value for money.... This is quite simply the best Sunday lunch in the area. Staff very friendly also.

Fab night for New Year everyone was made welcome locals and non locals. There was sausage and mash put on free for everyone. Not the first time I have visited the pub always made very welcome and the food is lovely. Would recommend to anyone old or young. Only downside is no evening food 😢

Great service, super friendly bar man who made us feel at ease. Dog friendly. Ordered lunch, delicious food just very large portions for small appetites!

Dropped in here for lunch at the end of a walk in the local area. First impressions were very good with pleasant staff, a range of 4 real ales on draught and a great menu at amazingly reasonable prices. The choice of sandwiches was good and priced at £5.50 which included chunky chips and a generous serving of salad. When it arrived the brown bread was stuffed with ham and salad; superb value and nicely presented. Looking around at other meals suggests the portions are large and you will certainly not go hungry. I will certainly be returning when walking in the area.

I called in for a pint and light lunch after a morning's country walking - luckily this had left me hungry. The welcome by staff was warm and friendly. The interior of the premises is clean, smart and tidy. Four different draught real ales were on offer in addition to all other usual beverages and the choice suited me well enough. The lunch food range was wider that offered by some other pubs with quite an attractive choice including many classic pub dishes. I chose a sausage, bacon, tomato and cheese baguette which was served with huge chunky chips (lovely) and a cool fresh dressed salad. The food was well presented and the baguette contents and chips were nice and hot. This was a substantial meal which I enjoyed enormously. I don't often walk in this area of Cambridgeshire / Suffolk but I am inclined to do so again, in which case another visit to the Marquis is a certainty. If only other pubs came up to this standard maybe they wouldn't go out of business. It was interesting to notice that some customers called in to collect take away meals.

Just a quick snack at lunchtime amazing burger

Went to play darts there with my pub team. Friendly landlord and punters. Fairly busy and decent prices for drinks. Would use again.

Very good food beer and company

As always a very warm welcome and I have just enjoyed a good lunch with village friends.

Called in for a drink and ordered a round for the group I was with. I questioned the bill as it seemed expensive. The bar manager as he told me his position was accused me of suggesting he was ripping me off. I politely asked him to itemise the bill and he responded with 'if you don't like it then f off to the next pub' I sincerely hope he wasn't the bar manager or landlord

Good selection of Ales on offer

If you dine here never order all the courses up front . As you need to have a large appetite

Very good food such big portions u can not eat it all . The food is of s high standard , u will not b disappointed. The pub is a bit dated but the food makes up for that .

Awesome food. Great service and lovely regulars

Lunch for 10: A good selection of roasts, if you want the. Chicken or Salmon you need to order 20 mins before the other choices. I went for the Pork Belly, which was as good as it gets, proper crackling and very tender! The Lamb also looked good. We really didn't need puddings, but we shared a couple anyway

Great Christmas Dinner for our end of year bash. Excellent food as usual and brilliant service. We took over the front of the pub as there was 27 of us but it was very comfortable.

Stopped here unexpectedly on a Sunday for lunch with friends. Wow. If you love big portions of traditional-style, properly cooked food, good service and good beer, then this is a place for you. Five of us (including some very picky ones) chose beef, lamb and salmon from the Sunday menu. Arrived promptly, piping hot. Not just the boring carvery type of food but lots of unexpected additional contents. No complaints. Not one. Conversation punctuated only with superlatives. Very good value and plentiful. Great Sunday. Thanks!

Amazing food! Decent drink prices. And tip top atmosphere

This has to go on your bucket list.

Large portions of quality food!

The food is unbelievable. The chef is very very talented and I've never been anywhere like this and that includes the yacht harbour restaurant in Portugal. Go there!

En verdad mejor. No hay nada que decir, pero wow, el personal es amable y eficiente, y la comida es de fuera de este mundo.

Visitamos y pre-reservado un almuerzo en un jueves de 22 senderistas. La comida era excepcional y las porciones muy generosas. - el queso plowmans especialmente con una generosa selección de 3 quesos, así como artículos para complementar. Kate, el chef, era genial y recibido críticas muy favorables de varios de nuestro grupo para la salchicha y puré!

Llamamos para el almuerzo. Tuve el bistec baguette y mi esposa tuvo el halloumi, huevo y hongos. La comida era excelente, muy por encima de la calidad de comida de pub normal. El bistec en mi baguette era tierna y sabrosa. Llegó vestido con una ensalada y patatas fritas caseras que eran muy agradables. El pub tenía tres cervezas, y te puedo decir que la calle Austell Tributo era muy agradable. Estoy seguro de que volveré.

Pub village realmente precioso, con una buena selección de cervezas y un bonito jardín. La comida es deliciosa y nunca he visto el tamaño de las porciones, así como una fantástica relación calidad-precio. Mucha variedad, y no hay problema en encontrar algo para vegetarianos. Muy amable, incluso trajo un puñado de delicias para nuestro perro, que era preciosa. No puedo recomendar lo suficiente.

Recientemente, se han mudado estábamos interesados en encontrar un lugar para llevar amigos y familiares para comer el domingo y tener pasado y visto un almuerzo de 3 platos anunciados por £18. 50 tuvimos que probarlo y realmente no nos decepcionó.

A couple of us had previously 'discovered' this fine little pub for lunch snacks; on the basis of how homely the atmosphere, good the food and a friendly, open reception we booked for a small family Christmas get-together with in-laws (grandparents -to- 3yr-old and a 3-week newborn !).The sort of 'local' pub where any of the regulars might take a turn to help-out when staff are under pressure; really nice. We were actually impressed how a local Terrier was allocated his own stool at the bar !Just have to say, "Fantastic", not only was the quality of food great, but soooo plentiful that 'dad' who as an outdoor farming type, is rarely satisfied, could not finish his plate (a notable 'first'). Junior was well taken care of. First course was the size of a main elsewhere and we simply couldn't manage a sweet.Extremely well done Kate (landlord & chef); we will be back (from Lowestoft) !

This was my first visit to The Marquis of Granby and I will certainly be back. The food was excellent and the portion size very generous. There were six adults, our 3 year old granddaughter and 6 week old granddaughter in our party. We were made to feel very welcome and for a village pub the food was exceptionally good.

We came here this afternoon for my husbands work do and the food was amazing! Platefuls of fabulous quality meat and veg,cooked and presented to perfection! I had the cheese and biscuits for dessert and it came complete with 5!different cheeses, selection of crackers and grapes. With a coffee to finish off it was great from start to finish. Highly recommend this for a meal but be aware the portions are huge!

We called in for some food on a very hot day after spending some time in Newmarket. What a great find!!! A full menu was offered along with a specials board. My partner opted for a sandwich with salad and chips, while I went for the cumberland sausages, mash, roasted peppers, bacon and onion gravy. The plates turned up in very good time, fully laden and piping hot. To say the food was delicious would be doing it a disservice, but two empty plates were evidence enough that we enjoyed what we had. The friendly welcome and cold drinks all helped with the pleasant experience, along with the surprisingly cheap bill at the end. When we are back in the area another visit will definitely be made, such was the first impression made.

Once again a wonderful meal at the Marquis of Granby with excellent presentation and welcome. Such extremely good food and look forward to the next visit. Sincerely thank you all very much indeed.

Have just been to the Marquis of Granby for lunch with two friends. We were very impressed with the reception we had from Michaela and the considerable menu available. Food was so well prepared by Kate, to whom I must express my many thanks. Comes with the strongest commendation to any potential visitors. Thank you again, very sincerely. Will certainly come again.

Have been here several times , the food is always exceptional , the menu is varied and well priced and the service is always warm and friendly , would definitely recommend

Visited here on Sunday to have something to eat for lunch as I had heard and read it was excellent.Arrived at noon to be told they were fully booked. I decided to gave a beer anyway as I was there. Me and 1 other person were the only ones in until 12.30 when a family came in. Two other families were turned away.It stayed like this until 1pm.I could of eaten and left. No one else was in until a party of about 30 arrived. I understand that they had a huge booking but I was sat on a small table and could of had my lunch before they arrived.Will try again because the staff and customers were very chatty

Went to the Marquis of Granby today for a family get together and a delicious Sunday lunch.Kate and her very accommodating team provided a sumptuous meal for the nine in our group. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed their food, which was plentiful, tasty and well presented and served.We've been here a few times now and are always impressed with the great selection of food and excellent service.Thanks to all the staff for a lovely lunch and we look forward to seeing you again soon!

Amazing lunch. Friendly staff. Food was outstanding. Great value for money. I will be recommending this place to everyone I know.

What a great find for our party (reviewed under Trip Advisor) for pre racing meal and drinks en route to Newmarket. It was exactly as described, basically furnished, pleasant staff, real ales and excellent home made burgers, which had come recommended and matched the build up. Served with fries and salad we really enjoyed them and agreed we must go back to try other items from the menu. A great start to the day out. We will return

We met with friends as this was a half way point between our homes- journey of 45 miles each. Well worth the journey! Food was superb and very good value; large portions with good friendly service. What a shame they are not closer. After taking a walk we went back for teas and coffees. Again superb value

Stopped for lunch whilst walking part of Stour Valley Path with our dog. Really good lunch and large size meal. The American style Burger was excellent. Unusual and different selection of draught beers makes this pub worthy of a visit for a drink alone. Our dog was also welcome. A really good find.

Fantastic value, starters alone are as big as mains in other more expensive restaurants. Not a huge menu (6/7 choices at each course) but every dish was interesting and beautifully cooked. Our Sunday lunches consisted of large portions of meat, lovely roast potatoes, gigantic Yorkshire puddings, appropriate accompaniments, extra vegetables and lots of delicious gravy. Can't comment on the sweets as we didn't have space for any! Would definitely recommend.

Had a lovely meal with family and friends. The staff are excellent and very friendly. Beef & Bacon Cobbler x3, Chicken Croquettes and Sausage & Mash. Amazing food as usual and top deserts. Would recommend this to anyone :-)

I've eaten in the Marquis of Granby many times and quite simple have never had less than a fantastic meal and great service.Don't expect a traditional country pub-restaurant since it's a small village pub and badly in need of refurbishment; something that's in the pipeline......But for good ale and terrific food, it's one of my favourites.

Called in for lunch here a couple of weeks ago. A beer shandy went down very well. Had a look at the menu and didn't want a main course so chose from the light bites, but checked first that they were larger than a 'starter' portion. I was assured they were. I ordered a Cheese Ploughman's. Well, what a Cheese Ploughman's! There was enough Stilton, Brie and Cheddar to feed the whole of Stetchworth! I'm not complaining in the least as it was a very good salad/ploughman's including a warm bread roll, celery and grapes. Excellent. The others had a Goat's Cheese dish and a Bacon and Banana on French Toast dish. Three very satisfied customers. Looking forward to visiting again after the upcoming reburishment. I hear the Sunday lunches are excellent.

I visit this pub most days. The service is exceptional and the price of drinks are very reasonable. I class this pub as my local as the staff look after me. I would have no hesitation in recommending anyone to go to this pub and sample the local food and drink

Wonderful Sunday lunch, glad we didn't have a starter as the meal was so filling and a complete joy, which we had to ask to bring the remainder home for the dog. Lovely service and great food. Will definateley be going back. Local people were so friendly, and pub dog friendly.

Went here yesterday for Sunday Lunch following recommendation from a friend (who joined us !) was not disappointed, the quality, amount and presentation of the food was absolutely lovely. Unfortunately the attitude of the front of house girl left a lot to be desired but on the whole a very pleasant afternoon and I will definitely be back.

We visited today for lunch, we had never been before but will defiantly be going again,excellent food at a very reasonable price, I would be cheating them if I gave anything less than 10/10, if you haven't tried it I highly recommend you do.

Great little village pub (my local!) Sunday lunches are phenomenal - great choice and plenty of it too (a little too much I'd say!). Family friendly & also has sweet little beer garden.

Stopped in for lunch after hearing great reviews from friends, they were right. I had a smoked salmon sandwich with cucumber relish and it was delicious! Came with lovely tasty (huge) side salad and chunky homemade chips. Excellent value for money lunch plus 2 drinks less than £10 and the service was excellent with everyone making me feel welcome, papers available and I was asked if everything was ok and if I needed anything which is a rarity in some restaurants. I was dining alone I did not feel at all self-conscious, so well fed I will not need supper tonight.

Had been told by friends that the new owners formally owned and created the success that was The Golden Boar Inn, in Freckenham. When they left in 2007, we were left in need of somewhere decent to eat. When we found out they were back in business we had to get over for one of their outstanding Sunday lunches!! The belly pork was a melt in your mouth wonder! We were left wanting more! Over generous portion sizes at an extremely reasonable price. Admittedly the surroundings aren't great yet, but if the Golden Boar and their new extension plans are anything to go by, this will be "must" visit location for food in the Suffolk area!!!! Can't wait to go back!!!!!

stopped off here for an impromptu lunch. the pub looks a little tatty and worn around the edges so our expectations where not that great for the food. How wrong we where. It was delicious. Amazing crab, prawn and bacon sandwich, with freshly cooked chunky chips, delicious! would highly recommend.

An old fashioned pub with a few friendly locals propping up he bar. The food was excellent but not sure why it took 40 minutes to come given there were only two tables occupied. But would certainly go again

We've eaten at the Granby as a family, two adults and two young children a number of times now and it has always been excellent food and service. Good luck to the landlord for their planned expansion. Wayne

I was somewhat reticent about dining here but what a wonderful surprise. The food was outstanding. The pub is about to undergo a total refurb.The menu is creative and the food is produced with flair and imagination. Sunday roast is particularly excellent (the bread sauce was divine).Service needs a little attention.

Had Christmas Dinner at the Marquis of Granby Sunday night and it was quite simply on of the best meals I've ever had in any eatery. The 'Granby' has had a chequered history over the years and has seen a number of landlords come and go, but the latest team are really making a go of it. Kate and her family seem to be in for the long haul and have plans to enlarge and separate the pub and restaurant areas and keep the Granby for the people of Stetchworth and surrounding towns and villages. Good luck to them!
