Old Bridge Hotel Restaurant in Huntingdonshire

I had a problem leaving this review. I wanted to leave 2 reviews, one for the hotel and one for the restaurant. But cos I left a review of my booking experience less than 3 months ago, I cannot leave a review of the hotel until the 3 months is up. So I hope management read this review, as a joint one for the hotel and the restaurant.Where can I start? Following our excellent booking experience, we arrived on Saturday afternoon at the hotel for 2 nights DB&B. Check in was seamless. We were told about our booked meals, the included scones and tea, assistance was given with our luggage, and we were escorted to room 1. Wow! It was brilliant and exceeded our expectations. It was huge, and although it looks over the road, the glazing meant it was extremely quiet. Even an ambulance going in front on blues and twos could barely be heard.After settling in, we went to the bar, and had our included tea and scones. Fabulous scones! I asked more than once during our stay for the recipe, but it was kept secret.That evening we went to the bar, had a glass (or 2) of fizz and perused the menu for dinner. What a fabulous choice. As we were on the DB&B booking, we had £40 pp allowance towards dinner food. But the increase in the room rate was only £30 pp. Excellent value. Neither of us could fault a single mouthful of our food, or the wonderful selection of wines by the glass. Such a choice matters a lot when there are only 2 on a table, and one diner requires white and the other red.The next morning we both chose the smoked salmon for breakfast, and what a treat it was. We then had a late Sunday lunch, instead of dinner, as part of our package. At lunch the maître d’ took our order, and immediately asked Mrs T if she had enjoyed the scallops she had the night before as a special starter This was incredible as the maître d’ had not served us the night before! Mrs T said they were brilliant, and could she be cheeky and order the roast pork ………………and before she could finish the sentence he said “with a Yorkshire pudding. Of course.” We had the most fabulous quality Sunday Lunch with huge portions of chicken and pork brought to our table.I could go on and on, but just let us say that the rest of our stay was equally fabulous. Mr T is on the Clinically Extremely Vulnerable Register. We really needed a break having been incarcerated at home for so long. But we were naturally very wary of staying away, mingling, being in a restaurant etc. We need not have worried. We felt so safe at the Old Bridge. The staff were very careful to ensure that everything was safe.There are 3 things that matter about such a stay since the pandemic started. In a very particular order1. Feeling safe. This was evident from the get go. Every member of staff was fantastic. From check in to check out we knew our safety mattered 100%. Special mention to the lovely lady on breakfast table service on Monday morning, the Maitre D’ Sunday lunch, but not to diminish every other member of staff we encountered.2. Food. Wow! Could not fault a thing. Our only problem was that there were so many things on the menus we would have loved to have, we could not fit them all in. Next time?!3. The room. Which was fabulous. But we would happily stay in a smaller room if it meant we could have the wonderful attentive staff, and the exceptional food.Thank you so much for our first stay away for nearly 2 years. We will be rebooking very, very soon.

We visited today for the first time and enjoyed a lovely lunch to celebrate our anniversary.We had booked in advance and were shown promptly to a table in the middle of the restaurant which was air conditioned (very welcome given the weather). The offer of complimentary sparkling as well as still water was much appreciated. The main menu looked very tasty, albeit it was slightly confusing in terms of the mains, starters and snacks, we were uncertain how big the snacks vs starters would be (I'm sure this was just us though and in fairness we could have asked). I'd seen the lounge menu online and was much more taken with that (purely personal taste and what was appealing to me, no criticism at all). My partner ordered the fish and chips and I chose to have 3 snack/starter dishes instead. I ordered the houmous, the chorizo and the belly pork. We also ordered a bottle of picpoul (£27 which felt entirely fair) to share. Service was timely. The wine was excellent. When our food arrived I took pictures (dreadful habit I know, but purely for the memory, not for Instagram or similar- and useful for reviews) and our waitress kindly offered to take a photo of the two of use which was appreciated. The fish and chips were perfect! The chips were skin on and crispy but fluffy, the fish was flaky and fresh and the batter light but crispy. The pickled quails eggs were only very lightly picked which was a delight and the mushy peas were minted and very tasty. The belly pork with the sweet yet salty dipping sauce was fantastic, the pork was crispy on the fatty parts and soft beneath and the portion generous, my partner had 3 pieces and I still had plenty. The houmous was ironically the part I'd been looking forward to the most and whilst perfectly tasty, didn't wow me, I think it was probably just overshadowed by the other dishes. That said it was a generous serving (lots of chargrilled bread for dipping) and the pomegranate on top was delightfully fresh. The chorizo with garlic aioli was phenomenal! It packed a smokey punch and every bit was a flavour explosion, the garlic aioli was delicious (not at all overpowering) and was very light (almost foam-like) to eat which was a pleasure. I think it was my favourite of everything we had!! We finished with pudding, the banana pudding for my partner and the fresh strawberries for me. Both dishes were very tasty, my only criticism being that the tops were left on my strawberries making them slightly messy to eat (I'm not the most delicate), but we both thoroughly enjoyed. The bill came to approximately £77 which we both felt was very reasonable given the quality of the food and how full we both were. Overall a lovely lunch and we're looking forward to visiting again!

Have eaten here a few times now so thought it time to update things since I wrote about my first experience here 18 months ago.The main thing is that the food is just as excellent each time I've eaten but the service has definitely improved to the point that it has been faultless each time.Bread from the Allotment Bakery is amongst the very best you could get. The smoked salmon is lovely here and you get a generous amount - one of the loveliest things about this place is the generosity they exhibit in so many ways - not charging for bread or sparkling water, decent sized plates of food, fantastic wine at very fair prices.The sea trout has been perfect each time, well almost perfect, as I do love a crispy skin. One of the other best things about this place is the setting - the inside is done very well and the terrace is lovely and heaters are available if it cools.An added bonus is the wine shop, have bought quite a few bottles there now and have loved every one. Would definitely recommend every aspect of this lovely place.

Our hotel doesn’t cater for our dietary needs so we booked our lunch here! It was amazing! I’m vegan and my Mum is a GF (coeliac) vegetarian and the food was fantastic! They were so helpful, they even said at point of booking that they have a flexible kitchen so if nothing on the menu that appealed to my Mum, if we gave them notice they’d make something special for her!The dining rooms are beautiful as are the grounds!We’re definitely going to book to stay here on our next trip away!

We try to avoid service stations and tried this hotel for breakfast on our journey. We booked which was relatively easy. On arrival the team were lovely and food was good. Lovely environment for a relaxed stopover if you are not in a rush.

We could only have a bar meal as the restaurant was fully booked.The bar menu was excellent, we opted for Fish & Chips - cooked to perfection! Attentive waitress and bar staff. Excellent wine list as you would expect from the Master of Wine owner.Highly recommended!

Visited for dinner with family the day after indoor dining was reopened in May 2021.From the time we arrived it was a very welcoming experience. We had a table booked and intended to have pre dinner drinks in the bar. We were met and taken to the bar and everything felt covid safe. Friendly staff, lovely cocktails and drinks before going through to the dining room. Noted that staff were giving a friendly reminder to wear a mask when moving around and going to the toilets, which I thought was excellent and effective.Shown to the dining room and received excellent service from the waiters all the way through the meal. Wide selection of food which was delicious.I highly recommend the Old Bridge and when we visit family in Huntington next, we will most definitely be paying another visit.Well done all the team! You worked so well serving whilst following the the constraints of Covid guidelines.

Those of you booked in for Christmas Day at the Old Bridge are in for a treat. We have just had their turkey Sunday roast and it was delicious. They were kind enough to add a Yorkshire pudding for us too! Smoked mackerel pate and passion fruit tart was also amazing. Staff were so welcoming and were in great spirits. It was a lovely atmosphere in there today. Thanks Old Bridge - we’ll see you again next year.

Dinner out for the first time since the last lockdown ended, and at the end of another long week at work. Lovely welcoming, friendly and COVID secure. Delicious food, piping hot and good portions (without being too much). We had bread and olives to nibble on, both lovely. Then starters were the "Grilled whole king prawns (in the shell) with samphire and garlic butter" (though I opted for no shell just to save the mess I'd normally make!) and "Braised beef cheek with Swiss chard and celeriac & horseradish remoulade ". We followed this with the "Fillet of sea trout, lightly cooked, with caramelised salsify, samphire, new potatoes, brown shrimps, capers, cream and white wine and "Rack of Lamb, rosemary potato cake, leek & spinach purée, oyster mushroom, broccoli and mint salsa". Now just need to work out how soon I can persuade my husband that we need to return!

Wife and I took the opportunity to get out for a meal between lockdowns and choose the Bridge for the occasion. We've been there a few times over the years and the last time we were there (a few years ago) I recall it being a bit white and clinical. Now however it was more rustic and welcoming. The food was excellent. I had ox cheeks to start and then lamb rack. Both really flavoursome and cooked to perfection (lamb is served pink unless you ask otherwise - and why would you!).Wife went the full seafood and had four massive prawns with samphire followed by sea trout. Again both hit the spot.Service was also spot on and COVID-19 measures were very evident.There's cheaper places to eat out in Huntingdon and area but the Bridge always feels a bit special and is well worth the slight premium over pub grub.

Three of us returned to the 'Bridge' today for lunch, the welcome you receive never fails to makes you feel a special and valued guest.Excellent table, as always, crisp white linen and the usual friendly service from the staff.The grilled prawns with samphire were delicious as was the smoked salmon, the other starter selected. Mains were roast turkey and roast beef....both excellent choices....the only slight criticism of what was a most enjoyable meal was a rather large amount of gravy on each plate which may have been better served in individual gravy pots.Coffee as always was exceptional.

What a delightful oasis The Old Bridge Hotel proved as it took us out of today's troubled world and into a time when things were relaxed yet professional and service came with a smile - even if from behind a face covering.Jemma could not have been more helpful as we celebrated a wedding anniversary, right down to noting the reason we were sitting down to lunch and surprising us at the end of our two-hour meal with a plate piped in chocolate with 'congratulations'.Those two hours were spent in measured but leisurely fashion exploring all three courses of The Old Bridge's interesting menu, modern enough to please an on-trend diner but with enough trad touches to satisfy the more mature among us. The fish and chips were terrific!So too were the rabbit pithivier and smoked salmon starters, the second main of sea bream and a couple of puds - a delightfully gooey chocolate delice and passion fruit tart. The hotel has perhaps the finest wine shop you'll have ever visited and our glasses of prosecco (Ca' di Alte) followed by an NZ sauvignon blanc (2009 Tinpot Hut) and an interesting riesling (2018 Villa Wolf) did not disappoint.Neither did the bill; more modest than we might have expected for this sort of happy experience. We won't wait for another anniversary to return.

Just enjoyed an amazing Sunday lunch at the Old Bridge with family. Food was incredible and, whilst they are clearly following the guidelines forced upon us all, this did not detract from the usual buzzing but relaxed atmosphere. There are currently some lovely seasonal cocktails and meals on the menu. Staff were all friendly and efficient. This is by far our favourite restaurant in this area and it’s nice to see that so many others seem to agree!

First time back after reopening. Quality, charming staff throughout. The COVID experience of booking in and being taken to table was actually pleasant ( a first). We had a settee and two comfy armchairs and sat in front of a fire in what was the dining room. Didn’t realise this was available and an excellent idea to change the dining room and a is a great environment. The lunch time bar menu is much improved from our last visit and covers an extensive range. A quality perfectly cooked steak roll and “real “ skinny chips accompanied by a couple of good quality pints of Nene Valley Manhattan Project spent with friends was a super way to spend a couple of hours. Revisit planned asap!

I write this review with a great deal of sadness. This is our local restaurant and I have eaten here regularly for several years.This was our first visit since the Covid pandemic. From 4th July I have been visiting hotels and restaurants throughout the country and found that nearly all restaurants have responded brilliantly to the situation and I have felt safe throughout my visit. I admit I am lazy and I haven't written reviews of these restaurants, maybe taking their good practice for granted.This evening I went back to the Old Bridge for the first time since March. The dining room was noisy, the tables were too close and the place seemed to be full of drunken people. The menu was dull and I had difficulty choosing anything.Maybe I've just outgrown the place but I think there needs to be a space for grown ups to have a quiet pleasant meal with well spaced tables.There is plenty of space at the hotel and maybe they should consider setting aside one of the rooms for people who would like a quiet pleasant meal rather than a party.

Have stayed here recently, but this trip was for a family meal.The decor is tasteful, and the layout mindful of current restrictions.From the moment we arrived we felt confident that we would be well cared for and that the management and staff would be diligent. We were not to be disappointed - and all done in a most professional and courteous manner.The food is excellent (I love the steak sandwich) and reasonably priced.Do pay a visit to the well-stocked and reasonably priced wine shop.We will certainly be back.

Another great dinner at the Old Bridge with family. Despite the Covid requirements it all felt as friendly and familiar in as before. Thoroughly recommend the Haunch of Venison.

We had dinner and breakfast here and both meals were fantastic. Well presented, lots of really good choices, great wines -superb. Service was brilliant too.

Afternoon tea £18.50 each. For that you get tea or coffee. I asked for Earl Grey and got a tea bag my wife went for Darjeeling and got leaf tea.Finger sandwiches, we left half of them. Those we did eat were bland.Scones were pre prepared with jam then cream on top. Scones were dry and I would have liked the choice on how to prepared and eat them. Mini cakes were just about acceptable but nothing special. In my opinion this was not worth the money. I don’t mind paying for quality but I’ve had better at department stores.Due to Covid-19 the experience was soulless and I noticed that we weren’t exactly 2 meters away from people on neighbouring tables which was a bit concerning as masks weren’t being worn.

We visited today on the spur of the moment, it wasn't our first visit to the Old Bridge but our first meal out since March! We had a selection of 6 plates from the menu, they were all amazing! The service was perfect and the setting outside was relaxing and felt safe. All the facilities were spotless and plenty of hand sanitiser available in the nicest bottles! Thank you, we will be back again soon!

Lekkere lunch gegeten met klanten. Zeer attente bediening en de gerechten waren keurig verzorgd en smaakvol.

Such a great experience every time we visit.We keep saying we’ll experiment with our menu choices (it all sounds “mega tasty”, to use the correct term) but Dad always goes for fish and chips, Mum goes for scallops with some of Dad’s chips, and I go for steak and give some of my chips to Mum. “Go for what you know makes you happy,” Dad always says. Lesson for life there. Can’t say enough about the steak. It’s like Hawksmoor but without paying extra for chips (oh god the chips... tongue sticking- out-of-smiling face emoji), a spot-on Caesar salad and a cracking sauce (I could drink the sauce, and have done).The people who look after us there: lovely. Atmosphere: lovely. Food: yum. Great way to start a Saturday. X

First impressions were excellent > as you walk in the whole place feels lovely. We were then taken to our room No 7 which we'd paid extra for because it was my birthday; it was awful. The room was dark and dingy and in desperate need of a make over > I was told I'd have a nice view, my view was traffic crossing a bridge! The bed was rock hard and it was the worst sleep I'd ever had. The bathroom was just strange, it was huge but an incy wincy shower squashed in the corner which you couldn't move in. Wallpaper peeling off the wall added to the experience as well as the room being freezing cold! The ironic thing was that there were 2 fireplaces next to each other (yes 2) but both were just there with no purpose! Really really disappointed, I was hoping to go Wow but instead I screamed, it was like a dungeon! Any, downstairs in the restaurant the food was lovely and all the staff were great. Breakfast was really good too. I did explain to the receptionist how unhappy I was and she gave me £40 off the room but considering the dungeon still cost over £200 for the night I would advise anyone not to waste their money! Just go and have a nice meal there instead.

Went here for family birthday celebrations. Wine tasting in the wine shop was very interesting, and staff were very knowledgeable. Dinner was very good, great customer service, and good quality food, all well presented.

Went for a family birthday celebration. Lovely venue, where food was OK rather than fabulous. Staff were very pleasant and eager to please. You can do better for the money.

Un service ainsi qu’une cuisine gastronomique exceptionnel de plus la propreté du lieu n’est pas négligeable.

Relaxed place for an overnight stay with a difference. Wine shop attached which was a nice addition to an evening with dinner. Stayed in Rm7. Which was large , separate bathroom & big bath, lovely complimentary products. Menu was extensive and everything we ordered was delicious and exceeded our expectations. Breakfast was good too.

Have eaten here on a couple of occasions and it is always buzzing and busy, but you can usually get a table and the service is speedy with lovely staff waiting tables. Only had a sandwich this visit, which was adequate if a little disappointing, sadly. The chicken was very cold which affected the taste - it tasted of nothing really - and the tarragon sauce was negligible, so that didn't perk the chicken up. Such a shame because the food is usually very good. Only other gripe is the price - £10.95 for a sandwich is quite high.

First time we’ve been and it certainly won’t be the last, very friendly and knowledgable waiter by the name of Kristian was very good and the food was superb rack of lamb and pork belly were our mains but couldn’t fault any of the dishes, very nice atmosphere busier than we were expecting we will be back in the summer as the grounds look very nice and now the A14 is closed there won’t be the constant rumble of passing lorries

Visited today for family lunch, opted for the January sales menu which was fantastic value, in fact so good that we have booked again for next week. Perhaps more occasions when a fixed menu could be offered would bring increased return customers?

I hired the private dining room for a meal for 26 closed friend and family. The service was amazing. The food was excellent. All very high standard and great attention to detail. The staff were very attentive when discussing my requirements for the event.

Had dinner here last week and was surprised at how good it was. First of all the setting is lovely - it's a great looking dining room and doesn't feel like a hotel restaurant or a pub restaurant either. The room is very well designed and has an excellent atmosphere.

Returning to the Old Bridge for a festive lunch was simply great: atmosphere, food and service topnotch. Jasmin looked after us very well, and all staff were professional and well-organised: indeed, on one of the busiest days of the year, they demonstrated how fabulous they are. 10/10! A very special place.

We recently held a private birthday party here for 40 guests. We had a really outstanding experience, everything was expertly organised, the service impeccable and the food absolutely delicious. The private wood - panelled dining room is a beautiful space and ideal for a party of this size. I really couldn't fault anything and I would highly recommend the Old Bridge to anybody planning a function or just coming to enjoy a meal in congenial surroundings.

Although knew of the Old Bridge, had never visited before. Found ourselves in Huntington on our 16th Wedding Anniversary and popped in on the off chance for a late lunch.

Time for a birthday celebration lunch. Restaurant only one third full but service rather slow - they apologised & blamed it on a mountain of sandwiches they had to make for a party..

The on-line reviews of the Bridge Hotel restaurant were very encouraging and so it was chosen as a venue at a midway point for lunch with some long-distance friends.

We’ve eaten at The old Bridge Hotel many times over the years and stayed a few times, always had great meals, wine and service.

It was a weekend 2 course steak night that four of us had. Two of us had to send our steaks back(medium) as they were not the best cuts and were very tough. All credit to the hotel they quickly took them away and bought two new ones with no fuss made whatsoever. The two replaced steaks were very good.

We were in town to shop, popped in for a drink. Very nice ambience, bar staff suggested we try an Adnams stout which is very similar to Guinness and this was excellent. Mulled Wine will be available next week, so I look forward to that. Quite a mix of people, staff were able to provide a high chair for a young family nearby. Filling up as we left.

Taken by family friends for an early birthday dinner. Service and staff were excellent and three young children were accommodated without fuss (and that all this entails). Wide drinks offering and good cooking, my mussels outstanding. could not be faulted. We arrived to an empty dining room and left two hours later with it full and people waiting. This is a popular venue so be sure to book.

We recently called into The Old Bridge for the first time to check out its hospitality and surroundings; we were considering booking for a special family meal over the festive period. Luckily Victoria was on duty at the desk, welcomed us like VIPs and guided us through the booking process. What a star she was and what an asset to the hotel she is. The atmosphere of the historic hotel was just lovely, and we didn't hesitate to book there and then. With friendly bar staff (when I settled up for our coffees) and the anticipation of great food (I have read the reviews), we are very much looking forward to returning on Boxing Day. Let's hope for another great review!

We visited the Old Bridge for lunch on a Tuesday with no reservation (although I had exchanged emails in advance with Jade via the hotel website in advance to check wheelchair accessibility and the need to book for Tuesday lunch). We arrived just before 2.00pm, with the main menu cut-off at 2.15, but there was no problem ordering from the main menu and the food was delicious. We had the pork belly, liver and bacon and ham and egg (with some chips on the side). Our waiter was friendly and helpful. Ice creams and coffee afterwards were also spot on.

Visited for Sunday Evening Steak night and took advantage of the special menu......choice of 2 starters, a main and choice of 2 deserts. All were perfect and the staff were very attentive and helpful, along with 'service with a smile'. Would definitely recommend it highly and will be going back. You could could also order from the main menu if anyone didn't want steak, but there was more than enough choice and every mouthful was good.

We've eaten here many times before, however mainly in the bar / lounge area. First time we have eaten in the restaurant for a couple of years and it didn't disappoint. We went on the "Sunday Steak night"; of our party of 7, 6 had steaks, all of which were superb and reasonably priced. Service was excellent, in particular Charlie who was courteous, helpful, and recommended a superb wine as well. Huntingdon are really lucky to have a place of this quality, both in terms of food and drink, but also service and valuing their customers.

Fantastic staff, lovely restaurant and great food, very pleased we chose here for my mother in laws birthday lunch. We all had the beef, it was delicious. Will definitely be visiting again. Thank you

Posh place nice food been a few times also for afternoon tea . Also a shop in there so can buy some wines . Little bit expensive but worth it

The atmosphere is good here. The staff are friendly and polite. The service excellent, the food really nice, Well priced. I liked the wine displays and extras really well thought out. Decor really nice too.

Three friends and I wanted a nice venue for coffee and cake where we could sit and chat without feeling rushed - the old bridge was perfect. Lovely service with excellent tea, coffee and cakes.

Enjoyed a wonderful dinner here a couple of weeks ago with family. The restaurant and bar were very busy but the staff looked after us all (10 of us) really well - they were polite, efficient and went out of their way to ensure we had a really good evening. The food was of good quality and quantity - the garlic prawns for a starter were a big hit with several of us! We stayed overnight at the hotel and enjoyed a hearty Full-English in the morning before we all set off to different parts of the country. 250 mile round trip for dinner but it was worth it. Happy to recommend.

Service is slipping. Lots of new staff and a lack of customer centricity. Shame! May give the Bridge a swerve for a while

We sampled the delights of The Old Bridge restaurant three times over the course of our one night stay at the hotel.

after 3 months of looking forward to our visit we were left very disappointed , sandwiches were damp , cakes were dry and the scone was a mini version of the ones on display in the coffee shop.

Hotelowa restauracja znajduje się w bardzo klimatycznym miejscu,nad rzeką,oraz niedaleko od centrum miasta.Miła obsługa,ciekawy wystrój,dobre jedzenie.Polecam.

We visited today for a Sunday lunch to celebrate a 70th birthday in the family. I love the Old Bridge, but I have to say my experience today was not the usual excellent service and food I have always had here.

14 of us had dinner at The Bridge last night for my Mother’s 70th Birthday Surprise meal. We left with very mixed feelings and definitely wouldn’t trust this restaurant again with such an important event or a large group.

Seems to have deteriorated since last visit.Not sufficient staff around.

Visiting from the US and met friends for dinner and wine. Food was fantastic, service was top notch, prices were good for the quality and atmosphere, great wine and dessert (chocolate marquise!) What a great night overall!

Met friends for morning coffee and chat. The courtyard is a charming area with lovely plants and well kept outdoor furniture. Staff very friendly and professional.

The whole team at the Old Bridge is always charming and friendly whatever the reason for going - from the wine shop to stopping off for ( excellent) ice cream on the way home from a walk. (Thank you for always putting water out for dogs) . This time we were here for a meal. The young team was very patient when we took time deciding and did not hurry us at all. They could probably benefit from more training around the wine list but they are all young so time to grow. The menu is good and the food as described. The lamb melted and very well cooked. Bread and water is complementary. The tapas menu looks worth exploring for a future occasion. . The atmosphere is good and tables are not too close together. The outside area is pleasant on a summer's evening. Great to have this within walking distance.

Service: possibly the poorest encountered for years. Prior to meal waited twenty minutes for two lattes, finally having to chase. Watery mint sauce dropped into drink, over table and shoes. Bill arriving while we were still eating our sweets. Barman said would send over waitress to take orders for coffee after the meal: no one came - had to chase again. Not one apology for numerous errors (item not ordered and also included on the premature bill) - etc.

Popped over to the Old Bridge last night and had a meal out on the patio...fabulous!

The old bridge has is pros and cons during my stay I was delighted with its warm welcome but soon as I got the room there was funny smell coming from bathroom and very fishy went down to report it front desk was a little rude and the proplem was still there the food was okay found a long black hair in my club sandwich and chips were cold

I love this place. It’s so relaxing and very well run. All of the staff go above and beyond and along with the delightful setting it is the staff who give this venue that extra special thing.

Booked a table for my friend's Birthday which was a pleasant experience from start to finish even though we changed numbers a couple of times. The Old Bridge is on the river and a nice setting. We picked here as it was half way between us all. Bar and restaurant both have a nice atmosphere and we were given a table I had requested which was a bit more private. Cocktails I felt were quite expensive but they were spot on. The food was excellent quality and reasonably priced. The venison was cooked perfectly and the root vegetable pie that came with it was so tasty. The only thing that was a bit disappointing was the chairs were more like rattan garden chairs and quite uncomfortable, could do with cushions on them. All staff were friendly and helpful. Will hopefully be back and if lived nearer I would be coming here regularly. Thank you for a lovely evening.

We visited last Sunday for our anniversary..

We visited The Old Bridge last night and ate in their restaurant for my wife’s Birthday. The service was brilliant from start to finish. We started with a drink in the bar and were offered menus to look at while we enjoyed our drink. The bar staff were great, and changed a cocktail to my wife’s taste.

Had another great lunchtime drink and food can’t fault old bridge food and service this has become our local great in the summer outside seating area staff very friendly can’t do enough for you looking forward to our wine tasting day I’m sure we will manage to eat

We arrived a few minutes before 17.30 for the afternoon tea. When we were finally attended to, is was a few minutes after 17.30, by which time they no longer serve it. Trying to reason with the waiter was useless, and she showed not to have great people skills. I don't think I'll ever go back there.

Always great service, always clean, well-presented rooms, the breakfast is great and nothing is too much trouble for the staff - five stars every day!

The atmosphere in the dining room is very warm and welcoming. The menu has a good variation and the welcome from the staff warm and efficient. The food I chose was really well presented and absolutely delicious. We enjoyed efficient but not too intrusive service, and everyone wore a smile, indicating that they enjoy their work. Thank you for a lovely dining experience everyone (front of house and in the kitchen) and I will not hesitate to recommend you to others.

Excellent service. A beautiful tender steak with all the trimmings ! Really enjoyed the sweet, a pear tart. A lovely atmosphere and furnishings.

Went last night food was brilliant all the food was cooked perfectly and delicious! cocktails are very nice and staff were lovely. Cant wait to go back!

This hotel has transformed itself to become probably one of the best in the county. Ten years ago it was a fusty hotel and a dining room from the 1950's.

Had breakfast and lunch here. Both were well prepared, but not very interesting. If one is looking for a more traditional type of food, this is a solid place; if one is looking for something more inspiring, go to London. The service was very friendly and efficient.

A fab place for Saturday lunch with a friend. menu options excellent, tasted good. Nice service. Good all rounder. Pleasant environment and atmosphere. Definitely will be taking a trip back.

Saturday night @19.00 and the place was buzzing.

My partner and I are looking to move to the area and think we’ve found our new local! We had an amazing lunch and the setting in the sunshine was just perfect! My partner had the slow cooked lamb and I had the hake, both were incredible! We will definitely be back even if we don’t move to the area! ❤️

Have not been here for a number of years and trying to find somewhere different to take a visiting friend I booked for lunch with a window table in the conservatory

We used to visit the Old Bridge a couple of times a year (we live 100 miles away) to meet friends who live 100 miles in the opposite direction, but have not been for several years due to various health issues.

My family and I had a birthday lunch for my wife! It was also Mother’s Day. The lunch, service were excellent. The special menu at £39.95 was great value for money with a very good choice of a 3 course meal. Highly recommend this for any special occasion.

Wow they were busy but service was exceptional and very friendly. The food as always was fantastic and mum thoroughly enjoyed it, many thanks.

Our family got together for lunch in the restaurant which was lovely apart from the fact that some of us wanted a cold sandwich and were told we could not have cold sandwiches but could have hot sandwiches or anything else on the menu.

We visited the Old Bridge during a wedding celebration and completed a wine tasting in their wine shop. We had a fairly large group and I really enjoyed the experience the team that run the tasting appeared very knowledgeable and were helpful and interesting. I would definitely recommend it. I didn’t eat here but the bar was busy and comfortable with a lovely fire and squishy settees. It’s a lovely place

This is a beautiful place and the staff are very friendly and helpful. I was here for a leaving party and the drinks were beautiful and so was the food. Lovely setting and considering its on a ring road it was very quiet.

Bar food available all day and there is an excellent choice. The restaurant serves till 3 oclock, The menu is really good and uses local produce. The steaks and duck are delicious and there is some interesting veg dishes.The service is friendly and efficient.

We visited The Old Bridge on a rare sunny Saturday in March, and were happy to sit outside on the patio. The space was welcoming and the menu extensive. We had a hard time choosing with so many delicious sounding options! We started with the Singapore chicken wings, wow yum! I had the homemade chicken sausages as my main and what a great choice that was. Delicious. Hubs had the steak sandwich with chips, and he devoured it. We loved the casual feel, the friendly service, and our food. We will certainly add The Old Bridge into our favorite restaurant rotation. Can’t wait to go back!

The restaurant, now boasting a much more youthful edge in atmosphere following the much-needed redecoration, was at least half full (certainly busy for a Wednesday evening) which made for a convivial setting. The lighting is just on the right side of dim - not that pitch blackness one often encounters in those try-hard restaurants, striving for that ‘we’re going places’ vibe. No, not here. You can easily distinguish the food on the plate before you and find your way in and out without a torch. In short, it was romantically dim, if there is such a thing...

My wife brought me to The Old Bridge for a Wine tasting session and a meal.

Warm welcome Nice bar area with good chairs Great selection of beers and guns at the bar Intelligent and engaged waiting staff Good, varied menu Excellent food Good choice of wines Relaxed and in-rushes service! No wonder the place was packed...!! Very good indeed.

Yesterday, I thoroughly enjoyed my 50th birthday Afternoon Tea at The Old Bridge in Huntingdon.

Visited for evening dinner. Relaxed bar area with sofas, tables and fire so great range of seating and socialising options. Restaurant staff very polite and efficient. Tilted mirrored panels on walls add to ambience and inclusive feel and lovely views outside to up-lit trees and patio. Good food and wine menu choices. Recommend the prawns and pork belly dishes.

We have met friends here a few times now and never been disappointed. Warm welcome every time. Lovely setting by the river, great ambience. Excellent food. Especially love the roast beef. Lovely wine glasses and carafes and always fun to visit the wine shop. Will definitely be back.

Great historic atmosphere and so wonderfully British. I had the fish and chips. The fish was underwhelming but the chips were fantastic. Decent whisky selection. The Sticky Toffee Pudding was the best dessert I've ever had in 46 years. Worth the trip to the UK for this alone!!! Wonderful evening with a terrific group of coworkers. Something I'll never forget.

We have just stayed at The Old Bridge for our anniversary and the entire experience was first class.

Myself and 3 colleagues had dinner here just before Christmas. The food was excellent and although the restaurant was very full we received first class service throughout our meal. I will definitely be returning soon.

Visited last night for our anniversary meal. We travelled up by boat, the pub has good moorings next to the car park.

I’ve visited the Bridge several times and each time come away happy. The location is great with good free parking. The venue is superb. Great atmosphere in a well maintained and decorated building. There’s even a good wine shop inside. Service is first class - attentive and professional whilst friendly. Food is excellent with a terrific selection across all courses. Good value for money. Highly recommended.

Catch up with friends over a lovely Sunday lunch. Food was great as was the service. The only reason I’m not leaving 5 starts is that it was very expensive for what it was.

We went here for dinner with our friends. Some may describe the restaurant as old fashioned whilst others may describe it as traditional. The service was good and the food fine. There did seem to be a little mix up with one of our main courses which caused it to arrive a few minutes later than the others, but nothing too significant. Wine list is extensive.
