Marsh Harrier in Huntingdonshire

Fantastic service from Josh , zero issues. Enjoyed our night.

Amazing service from Bradley and Jordan, friendly and welcoming, the food was amazingly cooked by chefs Andy and Hannah, would definitely recommend

Very nice peroni and very friendly staff

Had a lovely night, Josh and Andy were very friendly and accommodating.

Good place t9 have dinner. Very helpful friendly staff, especially Chelsea who served us. Would def8nitely reccomend

We had a lovely meal at The Marsh Harrier. The food was delicious and the service was good. Both the waiter and the barman were friendly and polite.

Food was ok, soft drink prices are a bit pricey, ordered from the qr code, was easy enough

Good meal and service. Decor a little sad

The experience was just ok. The staff where friendly and actually quite funny. Plenty of beers on offer but 3 of them were unavailable. The food took forever to come out, 1 hour and 15 mins to be precise to which we had to ask where the food was and considering it was a Saturday evening the pub was not busy at all. The food was ok, some it was lovely and some of it was over cooked massively, especially the chicken wings and the popcorn chicken. The Hartford Mill being a similar pub venue is so much better, the food is a lot better cooked and tastier so we will not be returning to the Marsh Harrier any time soon- Sorry.

Fab good food as always Hayley has was lovely and smiley 😊

Really good night out with friends; excellent food came quickly and was enjoyed by all. Friendly and efficient staff.

Quick friendly service,food well cooked and tasty.

An excellent meal in a quiet well-lit corner. Nothing could have been improved.

Served by Bradley, obviously enjoys his job very enthusiastic and professional, very helpful 👍🏻👍🏻

Poor choice of beers, poor choice of vegan options, lack of staff impacted our visit. Won't be going back.

Really good, it was understaffed and busy, and the staff did very well

Great for lunch out of the office

Disgusting. If I could give zero stars I would. Just moved to the area. Had 30% off voucher in the post. Popped in with my wife and children. Wasn't expecting outstanding food, but this wasn't even edible. Played it safe with a burger. Served me up a burnt burger (cremated) with a handful of chips on a childrens plate. Sent it back. Replacement burger wasn't much better. We got out very sharpish, never to return again. Even my boys commented how terrible the food was.

The food was delicious, we ordered the vegetarian burger and the cowboy burger with a side of salad. We were really let down as we had to wait an hour for our food to be served. We love this pub/ restaurant and we would return again but there really needs to be more staff.

Amazing. We had a lovely service by Brad and all staff and food was delicious. Good price for 8 people. The scene was very relaxing.Nice and quiet. Would definitely come back again

Lovely pleasant and friendly service will come again.

40 minutes after ordering still no sign of food. Was assured it would be 10 minutes. Another 20 minutes and another promise it was on its way. Short staffed was the excuse. Cancelled order and had full refund without any problem.

Hayley was lovely and made us feel welcome. Service was great

Pleasant environment. Very slow bar service. No choice of beef as they were waiting for a delivery. Need to order more beer earlier so as not to run out.

Very very disappointed has we was in early and we ordered , we waited for a hour and still no food , no one came to tell us that it was running late , we was not the only one wanting , we got money back ,won’t be going back for the near future Needed more staff and learn to communicate with customers. Get staff that are experienced.

Have just taken the grandkids to lunch, however, having ordered we had to wait over an hour for our food to arrive at the table, then, one order was wrong, fish and chips was only warm, other two plates were acceptable. Having to amuse a five year old wanting his lunch, this wait was totally unacceptable. We may have ordered dessert, but just couldn't be bothered for another delay. Your loss.

Staff shortages were still impacting at 3pm after an influx of families for half term treat 12/2pm. Staff were super friendly and welcoming.despite a situation where customers had walked out. It would appear that whoever rotas Staff had taken no account of half term holidays & left very good staff in an impossible situation unable to empty dishwashers, fill up cutlery boxes or keep up with clearing tables. No one should have to deal with so many people with so few staff.

i ordered the SHARING nachos for £9.50 obviously expecting it to be big because it says it can serve 2 ADULTS, it came out and was tiny, barely filled 1 CHILD up let alone 2 adults, and when we questioned it they said that’s the right portion size, but i’ve ordered nachos elsewhere for 1 person and it’s had a bigger portion there, do not recommend and is a waste of money.

AVIOD Terrible food not hot , frozen bread with prawn cocktail. Mac n cheese is from a tin with bbq ketchup over the top awful

Lovely lunch, helpful friendly staff.

Lovely friendly staff, lovely food and large portions

Took the kids for a quick dinner. We were looked after by Hayley who couldn’t do enough to help us. The food was tasty and Hayley made sure my kids special requests were looked after. A lovely experience.

Friendly helpful staff. Food ok

Great service and food as always

Had an absolutely lovely meal today the chef josh understood people with selected eating disorder and caterd for them would 100% recommend to anyone all staff where amazing

Food was amazing josh the chef cooked everything to perfection service was great very friendly and helpful polite and respectful

Great food ,staff awesome and friendly 1st time come back after months and bad day turned better to awesome so thanks cooks and floor staff on Wednesday 12th February 15.00 . Rob Clark and Wayne texas who met Jersey man at bar .

Unfortunately on day we were there no pizzas, pannis or baked potatoes - otherwise food perfectly nice

A solid, well-decorated place for a quiet pint!

Overall our experience at the Marsh Harrier was terrible. As soon as we walked in our booked table was being used, so we had to be sat somewhere else. Drinks took 15 minutes after my wife chased for them and the Moretti was not nice. Food was below average. Clearly microwaved food, at a cost for fresh. My "roast" potatoes was what looked like boiled and oiled and missed the oven. I couldn't eat them. Atmosphere was dire, carpets wasn't hoovered (how hard is that?) We was there at midday and it wasn't busy, so hadn't got dirty, was just uncleaned. Had to dig through the cuttelry to find clean knives and forks. Second drinks had to be chased, and the beer I ordered wasn't avaliable, or my second choice, so ended up with another Moretti, which was cheaper than the beer I ordered but the difference wasn't refunded. I won't even talk about the staff because I don't want to be rude. There's much nicer places to eat that are actually cheaper. Avoid

Terrible experience, deserve no stars, would not recommend

As you walk into the pub, there is no signs or notices saying please wait here to be seater or anything. We waited 5 minutes and managed to call over one of the incredibly busy waiting staff, who told us sit anywhere. Looking around the pub, all the staff were extremely stretched and were at their capacity. We sit Down at a table, read the menus then after watching we see that you need to go up and order at the bar. The queue was to the main entrance. Two people serving. When standing in the queue, some guest when ordering were told at the bar it's a 30 minute wait for food, and others were not. We ordered at 6.25pm, lasagne, Hunters chicken and 8oz rump. Our food arrived at 7.10pm, we had to take back the 8pz rump at is was dry and extremely overcooked for a medium rare. A new serving was promptly brought out and this was cooked as requested. The food itself was OK, lovely chips, meet cooked fine, but we all found ourselves still feeling hungry, as portion sizes are on the smaller side. Some tables around us were still awaiting there food and they ordered over 1hour20 minutes. One table had a refund due to the time waiting and no food did arrive. Drinks were expensive. We decided not to have dessert as we didn't feel it was fair adding to the long list of orders and the waiting staff were extremely pushed and short staffed. We came to the restaurant purely due to getting a 30% off voucher though the post. Sadly due to the long service time I don't think we will be making another visit anytime soon!

Amazing restaurant food was lovely would definitely recommend will be returning staff were very welcoming into the restaurant

Just awful. We booked a table as know it can get busy on a Sunday. When we arrived we were shoved in the corner and the waiter didn’t even speak to us at all. He then came over to tell us there are no toasts, no pizzas and no jacket potatoes which left us with quiet limited options. We ordered via the app, drinks came quickly. 40 minutes later I went to the bar to check we they hadn’t forgotten our food and was greeted by a man who appeared to be the manager who just looked at me blankley when I repeated the question he said yea we will serve the table next to you then it’s you. The table next to us arrived 20 minutes after us, ate their food and left before we even got ours. They continued to serve other tables when the waiter came over and asked if we were ready for our food….. erm yea for the last 45 minutes!! 1 hour and 30 minutes from the order being placed the food arrived and what a state it was. We had to find our own cutlery and napkins and sauces. By this point we would of eaten anything but the steak was chewy and hard to eat, the burgers were dry and the chips undercooked. We were never asked how it was or an apology made dfor the wait times. Do not go here u til it changes hands it’s just awful and actually quite stressful. Other groups of people were complaining about wait times and poor food to and they seemed to just be making mistakes after mistake. Needs a serious rework or they will close down.

We booked a table for 12pm today and when we arrived our table already had a couple sitting down. So we had to be sat somewhere else! We sat down and ordered our drinks on the app. I went to the bar and mentioned its been 15 minutes since we ordered our drinks. They said they will be with us in a second, 5 minutes later we had our drinks. My husbands moretti didn't taste nice at all, he forced himself to drink it as it was £6. They didnt have no levelhead or peroni! The vodka & coke was absolutely fine. We ordered a roast dinner, a lasagna & our son had a chicken burger. The wait for the food was 30 minutes, so not ideal as it wasn't busy. The food it self wasn't great, especially my husbands roast. The potato's weren't roasted and the carrots still had skin on along with an off colour look. They didn't look fresh. The lasagna was okay but didn't taste great, definitely microwave food unfortunately. The garlic bread could have been cooked longer as there was no colour to it. My son's burger no complaints. I got up to get cutlery as we wasn't given any, some of the knives still had food on them. I asked for napkins, 15 minutes later still no napkins. I went to the bar and asked again, the man said "let me see if I can find them" No apologies were given, no one asked us how the food was. None of the staff smiled, they weren't professional at all!! The carpet was dirty and there was food on the floor as well as dirty tables. One staff member looked a bit scruffy and both shoes were untied. No proper uniform! We spent nearly £50 and none of it was worth it, we will not be returning.

A great improvement on before, the staff were great, the food was alot better, waiting times were fine.

Amazing experience me and my family came on Friday and the food was amazing staff were all very welcoming into the restaurant all and all amazing restaurant would recommend

What a way to end your Anniversary. Go out for a meal and wait 10 mins to be seated at a booked table. 10 mins for a drink, 20 mins for the starter. Chicken wings over cooked and crunchy smothered in BBQ sauce. Prawn cocktail with bread not buttered. To top that off ask a waiter how long the mains will be? As we had been waiting now for 40 mins He said he will find out and never came back to us even though he walked past our table 3 times. Then asked another waiter who then spoke to the manager that came over to our table and said it will be about 7 mins longer So I gave him 5 mins. During that time the manager came back offering a full refund as our mains hadn't even been started. UnHappy anniversary meal at the Marsh Harrier St Ives Never go there again.

What can I say terrible service not enough staff. cock the drinks up more than once took ages to get served and as the meal well it was crap 1 of us order rump steak & 2 Sirloin Steaks medium rare well, we needed a chain saw to cut it not sure which part of medium rare they did not under stand and as for the cowboy burger that was cook by the cowboy tough as hell & miss the peas off kid meal so we gave him some of ours. We were going to have desserts after waiting at the bar for 10min we did not bother it would have been quicker to go to MD across the road. When did complain was told staff training & new staff not good enough March Harrier had not been in there for 2 years & we will not be eating in your pub again marks out of 10 - 0

Pleasant enough. Friendly service, but drinks and food expensive. Took over 45 minutes for pizza to arrive, which seems excessive.

Went here for lunch, they have a great menu, I chose the steak that was cooked to my liking. Also had a dessert was amazing. Staff very friendly and helpful. Will definitely be back.

We were served by Hayley who was really lovely. Friendly and great service from her.

Really impressed with customer service. Walked in and we were helped straight away by a guy who was totally natural, super helpful and just really easy to deal with. His name was Billy and turned out he was part of the kitchen team-so even more impressed by his front of house skills

A very pleasant atmosphere with plenty of space between tables. Food quality was very good, hot and pleasing to the eye. The staff especially Hayley were very helpful and helped make the visit enjoyable, I would happily return.

Was served by Billy who gave the best experience; so natural, so helpful, so enjoyable! And actually he was part of the kitchen team, which surprised me even more (rightly or wrongly) that he was so good with front of house customer service

Staff very friendly and helpful especially Hayley. Atmosphere nice. Had a lovely lunch with plenty of choices

Staff were friendly and welcoming, it was busy but expected that it was a sunday lunchtime food was a little of a wait but again expected it. The only downside was no cask ales which was very disappointing can understand running out of one but all!

Hayley was excellent, friendly and very professional

Lovely meal served by Hayley who was friendly and helpful.

Hayley was fun, friendly and happy to serve us.

Josh and Jordan were fantastic. They provided an outstanding atmosphere and great service. If I had a single day left on earth, I would spend it at the Marsh Harrier. All jokes aside, the service was amazing. 10/10!

Jordan and Josh went above and beyond in their service. It was a delight to spend time at The Marsh Harrier.

Kids really like it here and good pub food for everyone. Friendly service

We eat here often. Always welcoming and friendly 😀. Good food at great prices with excellent service. Never had a bad experience in here and now there is a new menu too! What’s not to like ……

Hayley served us and was fantastic from start to finish. Very personable and friendly. What a great hostess. Would thoroughly recommend

Great friendly service from Hayley

Large car park. They are now doing their meal deal which is a different meal option on a different night ( Monday to Friday). This includes two meals plus drinks. Outside seating available. Disabled parking and toilets.

Staff are lovely and the service is amazing!

Lovely staff who are always so welcoming when we have our work team get togethers - they have no problem with us working here and using their Wi-Fi. Always great food!

Served by Evie, service was excellent

Trying to be kind re this review as the staff had worked their socks off but the food was pretty bad. Dry burger and even dryer Bun. The curry looked and tasted like a microwave meal.

Sunday 26th January. Had a nice birthday meal with family 🎉 lovely food, friendly staff and a free birthday drink and used 30% voucher, thank you for making it special ☺️🍸 Also visited the Sunday before with a friend as the roasts are so nice and also 30% off, thank you ☺️ The food, staff and service are always great. The atmosphere is always welcoming and relaxing, visiting often 💛Overall experience was really good as usual, good customer service and the food was amazing-last review. This times review my only complaint is I had a 30% voucher via email and the Manager wouldn't put it through and we visit regularly and he said 'I don't know why they have sent you that, the offer had finished on the 10th November' then you now have a post on Facebook with 30% off through November with exactly the same code I had on my email, thanks

We went for a Saturday lunchtime meal. We waited at least 45 minutes for our meals to be brought out. They were ok. This is an absolutely average plastic menu chain pub. There are better places to go nearby for similar prices.

He told me to say he was really handsome - who can argue with that lol. But seriously, service was great and staff are always very friendly.

Having not had great experiences in the distant past, we thought it was about time we gave this restaurant another chance as it’s local and we didn’t fancy cooking. Arrived at 1.30pm on Sunday lunchtime. Was immediately informed that they had run out of roasts (they advertise food until 9pm!!). It transpired that a number of other menu items were also unavailable so we ordered from the limited options. The only ale on offer was Marston’s Pedigree, which is usually a decent beer and in a Marston’s pub would expect it to be. It was undrinkable and tasted like it had been passed through a dirty dishcloth. Perhaps the pipes needed a good clean? After what appeared to be an eternity, the starters appeared which I can agree were edible and as described, but wholly uninspiring! A further eternity passed and the mains eventually arrived. Mine was perhaps the driest sirloin steak I’ve ever chewed through and the accompaniments best described as “sad.” The hunger from the wait perhaps the only reason we got through the meals. It would have been faster, less expensive and certainly tastier had we not turned into the car park, headed to Morrisons, bought the ingredients and cooked at home.

Service really slow - will not be back!

Very pleasant, good welcome, nice choice of menu, and well presented at the table.

Nice friendly staff , good service, good food ....unfortunately no real ale! No Marstons pedigree in a Marstons pub !

We always keep our eyes open looking for a place to eat, and often Google 'places to eat near me'. Inevitably, we nearly always end up at The Marsh Harrier, St Ives. A tried and trusted venue. Would definitely recommend to would-be diners.

Staff were friendly and helpful. Food was good.

Restaurant was a mess. Tables not cleared or cleaned. Used the app starter arrived burnt after 20mins. Had to ask for our drinks. Waited a tiaras of an hour for food even though restaurant was empty. When asked if there was a problem we were fed a pack of lies.

The steak and ale pie had hardly any meat in and when I pointed it out to the staff I was told it is the same with the chicken pie, not sure if that's what I wanted to hear. We have been there several times but won't be going back

Food very basic had a chicken sharer. Served in a metal pan with a sheet of paper small amount of sauce. No garnish just didn't look great. So left with out getting mains. Place its self felt cold looked empty with no brick or brack any where felt like a canteen. No ales on no pub feel really if I'm honest. For a marstons I'm surprised that the feeling of being in a pub just is not there. Staff look demoralised but I get that they might of had a hard Christmas. But still didn't have that welcoming touch when guests entered the so called pub. Such a shame will not be returning. And am now hesitant about the marstons chain.

An excellent alternative to using service stations! Not far off the A14, better food and facilities, with a much cheaper Morrisons petrol station and supermarket right next door. The gammon was beautifully cooked and delicious, the chairs were comfortable and all-in a much better alternative to service stations.

Service was on the slow side, website was very easy to use to order food/drinks. Children's area kept little one busy whilst waiting for food so was pleased with that. all staff looked well presented and pleasant when delivering the food and checking to make sure everything was ok. Food was well presented and worth the money. I would return.

The last time I came was about 5 years ago and was not impressed with it. i came on monday and it was great food lovely service was fab .will be coming back again

Had our works christmas meal there tonight and we had a great evening lovely food and great service shout out to Liam (AM) Josh (chef) and Dan (American bar man) all very welcoming and attentive 😊

Booked to have Christmas dinner with my elderly father as we live 100 miles away from him. There were 7 of us eating. We booked and paid a deposit for the festive menu. Unfortunately the restaurant was cold and most of us kept our coats on, the fairy lights weren’t switched on and we feel we weren’t really attended to. A gentleman asked if everything was ok but he wasn’t in a uniform (was actually dressed quite scruffily) but had a lanyard on and went behind the bar so guessed he was on duty. Food came out together and hot and tasty but the experience was underwhelming

Shared nachos with pulled pork starter. My friend had rump steak & I had chicken kebab. Good value, staff friendly & helpful

Went as a family of four for lunch on a Sunday, roast turkey. Came out with no cranberry sauce, the gravy was literally chicken flavoured water. The drinks were ordered with the food, had to chase them as meals came out 20mins after ordering. They ended up on the table next to us after we chased where they were after eating our meal. Pretty disappointing, won't be going again.

Really disappointed that I have emailed and Facebook messaged and still haven't had a response from anyone. We visited for lunch on Tuesday 10th December placing our order at 12.40 which included 2 main meals and a dessert. We waited an hour for our mains (we were not told there was a longer wait) we then waited 25 minutes for our dessert which never arrived. We went to the bar to say please could we cancel the dessert as we needed to leave, they said they would put in a box for us. We waited another 15 minutes at the bar, we then saw our dessert go to our table we had been sitting and go back into the kitchen. When asked about this there had been a mix up in the kitchen. We then had to leave and didn't get a refund or anything as we had to go to go and fetch our children from school. This is such a disappointment which completely ruined what was supposed to be a nice lunch out. Their were complaints coming from all tables. We regularly come here but will not be coming back any time soon.

Brilliantly staff friendly and helpful

Fab Christmas lunch here today! Great food and service 👍

Nice relaxed lunch, prices very reasonable & all staff were friendly and welcoming. Rebecca asked about any food allergies etc before we ordered, and Liam checked we were happy with everything & advised on dessert options. Will definitely visit again.

Another's visit and another great experience! Great to see it busy in this festive period!!

Amazing atmosphere and food .staff are very polite and welcoming and always on hand to help

Had a great meal, very clean and tidy place, good staff,nice and polite.

5 stars for Billy the chef, great food and great service

All staff were really lovely and welcoming. Billy went above and beyond for us!

What a lovely afternoon with friends ,food was lovely. Liam and his staff made us very welcome and nothing seemed to much bother . we will come back
