Pear & Olive Scratch Kitchen in South Cambridgeshire

We absolutely love this restaurant. We organised a celebration for daughters 21st. !5 close family and friends. Josh and Jade really couldn’t do enough to make the evening go well. From helping us sort out a set menu to organising a big table for us, it was perfect. The atmosphere and surroundings were perfect, the food was perfect, the wine was perfect, the service was perfect. I cannot recommend Pear and Olive highly enough. If you are anywhere near, be sure to visit

Excellent evening, delicious food extremely tasty meal, both courses, wine and great service 10/10 - we will be returning with the family.

The food is outstanding, fresh produce. Great vegetarian options, fabulous decor and ambience, the staff were absolutely amazing, we had a family lunch, I would give ten stars if I could.

New owners Jade, front of house, and Chef Josh, have created a little gem. Every course was beautifully prepared - both the cooking and the visually. Every dish was a wonderful balance of great technique - both fish dishes were perfectly cooked - and just the right level of sauces and seasoning. We started with a home made chicken terrine with artichoke, superb, and river trout with pickled beets and sour cream. My monkfish on a bed of seasonal vegetables with a grapefruit reduction and tiny pieces of grapefruit was an inspiration. My wife’s cod was lovely. It is so rare, in and around Cambridge, to find a restaurant the does good, classic cuisine really well without trying to go over the top and imitate so called celebrity chefs. We can highly recommend the Pear & Olive and will be going back again.

There is a smart restaurant area, a more relaxed conservatory area and eating outside areas in a very attractive garden. They offer a small carpark but there is carparking space on the street. The owners are young and full of enthusiasm for you to have an enjoyable experience together with the staff who were helpful and friendly. The menu is small and more fine dining prices but the food was excellent.

Absolutely delicious three course meal with friendly and relaxed service to match. We loved everything we ate and it is obvious the chef takes great time and pride in perfecting each item on the menu. From the starters and mains, through to desserts, without doubt the best anniversary meal we have had in over twenty years and can't wait to return!

What a find! We’d passed this place a few times so thought we ought to give it a try one weekend lunchtime. What a lovely suprise to find such a gorgeous place. The sun was shining so we sat outside - a lovely outdoor area. We had a warm welcome and the whole atmosphere was very relaxed. We had no idea what food to expect but everything we had was delicious - more fine dining than pub food, really fresh and great flavours. We had a beautiful heritage tomato and burrata dish, followed by delicious cod and then a tart tatin. And a gorgeous glass of Sauvignon blanc to top it off. Really impressed, looking forward to coming back.

True hidden gem offering delightful dining experience. Everything was excellent from ambience to small talks with helpful staff and owners to service to delicious food. Make no mistake -it's not your usual countryside pub but rather a high end small dining venue offering delightful experience in a peaceful village near Cambridge. We will definitely be back!

I was tasked with organising a dinner for 25 people. The Pear and Olive just went that extra mile to accommodate us. Nothing was too much trouble and we planned it together. The evening surpassed all expectations. The food was absolutely sublime. I have never tasted anything so good as the lamb wellington. The standard of service was exemplary, the staff just lovely. I have run out of superlatives to describe the experience, so I urge you to go and try it yourself

We have been to this restaurant many times over the years but this was our first experience under the new management. We were not disappointed, the refurbished restaurant and bar area have been transformed into a comfortable and charming place to spend an evening. The food, and the standard of cooking, is outstanding. We had Stone Bass and a chicken supreme dish both excellent, beautifully cooked. We will be going again!

Had Sunday lunchtime meal out for a birthday. Excellent food, really good staff, friendly and helpful. Restaurant was full but not noisy, clean and well decorated. Food was served promptly and hot. Will certainly visit again soon.

This was our second Sunday lunch under the restaurant's new owner chef. It really is a "find" - great food, charming service and good wine. The raw cauliflower with curry flavours starter looked and tasted EXQUISITE, the english asparagus sauce gribiche was very good. The roast chicken - served with seasonal vegtables, roast potatoes and yorkshire was very good sunday fare, the pan roasted stone bass on a leek & spinach with mussel sauce was a really tasty alternative to the sunday roasts. For pudding we enjoyed a refreshing homemade blood orange sorbet. There was a good selection of wines by the glass and we enjoyed 2 different whites. The place has a good vibe and as word gets around, I imagine its conservatory bar and outdoor area will do equally well. We look forward to returning!

The Pear and Olive offers and rural and stylish setting. From the moment you arrive the atmosphere is relaxed and welcoming. As a starter, I was intrigued by the raw cauliflower, toasted almond and curry salad, but changed my mind. At the the last minute though, I changed back and went back to raw cauliflower and was very pleased I did. It was absolutely outstanding. The same goes for the sea bass followed by Tart Tatin. Both truly excellent. An evening meal can be spoilt by bad service, but not here. The service was every bit as good as the food. We're very pleased we live just 20 mins up the road.

Myself and my partner stayed for a weekend break and were met by Jade one of the owners and shown to annex which was beautiful and bed was extremely plush and comfortable. The kitchen area was complete with a fridge full of drinks and local milk. In the evening we dined in the restaurant and it went from being a lovely stay to an amazing one as the food was epic and I could do a separate review for on its own, suffice to say we can’t remember having a soup that was smoother and fish (Stone Bass) was incredible. There are a couple of walks within a couple of hundred metres that are really picturesque and a farm shop that is only 5-10 minute walk away that does brilliant coffee and has pop up food stalls on a Saturday so you can really have a relaxed time and not need to drive anywhere. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will definitely be returning and the new owners have done really well in such a short time.

OK, so second visit to the Pear & Olive under the new owners. Food was excellent, again. New couple really making this one of the best restaurants around, you need to give these guys a try and support locally. We will definetley be going back with friends.

The new owners are certainly getting this right. My husband and I had Sunday lunch here and thoroughly enjoyed it. A little more expensive than your average pub Sunday lunch but my, was it worth it. The quality of the ingredients and cooking was outstanding. Nice to feel you are in a small establishment and not just a number in a mass produced restaurant. New owners and staff were friendly, professional and attentive without being over bearing. Will definitely go back. They also have accommodation so why not make a weekend of it

This restaurant was great before it was taken over, but the cooking now is first rate. Beautifully prepared food - the goats curd, roast beetroot and radicchio starter was exquisite. Excellent cassoulet and sublime hispi cabbage. Washed down with wines from Thorne wines. Great service. Very, very easy to go back. Thank you.

Stunning food, drinks, location and building. Ticks the box for so many types, couples, families, business meals. High quality food from talented chef, extremely friendly service, Brewboard beers superior to standard offerings all in a gorgeous country village setting with a lovely garden.

The chefs genuine enthusiasm for food was apparent and infections. We enjoyed every courses wonderful flavours, textures and presentation. The atmosphere created by the friendly owner and staff was lovely. We enjoyed our cosy spot by the fire and can't wait to come back and share the experience with friends!

Cosy informal atmosphere, very friendly service. A fairly small menu and wine list but everything we had was beautiful - interesting, well cooked, a delight to eat. Prices pretty fair by today's standards. Will definitely be back, this time to try the 4 course tasting menu

I almost don’t want to tell you how good the roast is at Olive&Pear incase the secret gets out and they are too busy to get a table. We both had roast chicken and it was 10/10 - high recommend. Food, service and decor all perfect.

Food was exceptional and the hosts were very friendly. Can't wait to come back and try their tasting menu and Sunday roasts.

Would like to say went for lunch bank holiday Sunday the restaurant was clean and tidy very busy but Charlie the server dealt with us and was amazing could not have asked for a more lovely person to have served us food was amazing aswell will be going back

We had an amazing dinner last night- the Thursday night tasting menu. The 4 courses of carpaccio tuna, duck, halibut and pudding were all delicious and the chef host was excellent. We will definitely be going again soon: fine dining in a lovely relaxed village setting, perfect!

Amazing service and food as always. The Exec Chef/ owner always come out to say hello, which is a nice touch. The menu is always lovely and the food fresh and local where possible. Well worth a visit.

Superb evening. Gael was so friendly and cooked us the most delicious tasting menu, paired with wine. A hidden gem. Thank you. We will be back!

Lovely, friendly staff, amazing roast dinner! Definitely worth a visit we will be back! Thank you all!

I turned up on a Sunday morning for breakfast as I had read google opening times not the restaurant …. So they were closed but they couldn’t have been more accommodating and cooked me a sausage bap and late - both were delicious - thankyou

We have been coming here more regularly, would highly recommend - fresh seasonal food cooked by someone who is passionate about food- great menus consistently of a high standard which hasn’t failed to impress. Noticeably better than other local pubs and restaurants we have tried . Nice staff, great vibe .

We booked last minute for a birthday, and they quickly accommodated us. The food and drinks were great, and the staff lovely and very welcoming. Could not fault anything. We will definitely be back.

All I can say is that if you have a complaint about the food be aware you will receive the wrath of the owner!!! Very intimidating & sarcastic, I could even hear her slagging me off to her partner after I had spoken to her!!!so unprofessional!!This was in front of my mum & daughter, ruining what was supposed to be a little treat! I imagine there’ll be a reply to this but whatever reasons are given it doesn’t excuse rudeness & unprofessional behaviour!I must add that her partner did act in a professional way & kindly refunded my mum her money. Shame, as it’s nicely set out & coffee is good.

So poor! We had a table of 6 booked and were looking forward to spend a Sunday here with food and drink but when we got there it was so unorganised we didn’t have a table and when we Spoke to the owner he made us wait... and when we finally had our table we tried to get some food and they had sold out.... and they had sold out of lemonade and cider... How can a pub run out of the essentials... very disappointed do not waste your time!

This was the best place to enjoy the end of lockdown2 - the food is just amazing.I had heard from a number of friends in the area that it was well worth trying. But even though my expectations were high, I couldn't believe just how good this food was.The deer decorating almost every bit of wall space prompted me to start with the Venison - it was both tender and tasty.But my lamb rack mains (one of five choices on the menu) was just out this world - cooked to perfection and just dripping with flavour.We shared two puddings between 3 of us - I am normally a Creme Brulee supremo, but the rich chocolate slab was to die for.The staff here are very friendly, and it was lovely to swap notes with the lovely Chef at the end of the evening.With 22 covers, you'll have to fight hard to get a table in this lovely gastropub. Its well worth trying very, very hard.

We ordered a take away lunch during lockdown 2 and took it to eat in the country park. Lovely food, easy to order on line and all was ready and waiting for us. There was lovely seating area outside for when lockdown is over Would definitely recommend.

We stayed in the cottage attached to the Pear and Olive, great for two people, very comfortable and well equipped. We had lunch of goats cheese bruscetta and it was the best bread I've ever tasted! Tapas dinner on Thursday was also excellent as was the a la carte menu. Every thing was made on the premises all lovely fresh ingredients. Would go again

A great Sunday roast is hard to pull off, it takes organisation and flair to get all the component parts served perfectly and the pear and olive gets it right. We had the sirloin of beef, succulent, pink with a nicely charred edge, a generous portion. All the vegetables and roast potatoes were great. Very good homemade horseradish. A full plate of food, lots of lovely flavours. Will visit again after lockdown.

Had a lovely meal here at the weekend - we did have to come in 30 mins earlier than we had booked however this was to mean there was more social distancing etc which felt sensible. In terms of covid it felt safe, sanitiser and a one way system. The staff were really friendly and Chef Gael was also working front of house. He gave us a fab run through of the menu and made some recommendations for food and wine pairings too. The menu was small and everything sounded fantastic! Overall it felt a really special evening with delicious food. Loved the decor inside as well.

Met some of our social bubble here for dinner. Had adequate COVID related safety procedures, so felt safe. Menu was a bit cut back from their usual fare but had something for everyone. The service was a bit slow, but this was probably because of the extra precautions. The food was fabulous. Well cooked, well presented and delicious. The wine list is not great but we found something to like. A great evening was had by all

Over-priced , cold starters, very average food, poor service, no idea about wines. Sorry but very disappointing

Inventive and inspirational reopening. Using produce from their farm shop in the pub. Limited menu but great food. Nice people and good beer/wine. Nothing but to like.

This is a little gem of a place, with fantastic lunchtime paninis and lovely ambience. We especially enjoyed the dining table that is actually a fish pond!

Went here over the weekend to end a hen party. It was honestly such a lovely spot, the outdoor area was right up our street, and the staff were sooooo friendly and hospitable! A lady called Jasmine served us and she went above and beyond to serve us, despite being the only one due to staff sickness. She was running around making sure we had everything we needed and was so prompt with our food and drinks (which were amazing)! I had a posh panini and it was without a doubt the best I’ve ever had!! After speaking to Jasmine she went on to let us know that the chef has actually worked of some major Hollywood celebrities and it doesn’t surprise me as the food was epic! I don’t live in Cambridge but we all said that we want to come back just to go here! So impressed! We also LOVED Olive (the dog) who made a regular appearance. Would strongly recommend this place to anyone! Thank you soooo much Jasmine and chef Gael! Amazing experience, it was perfect!

We've been here quite a few times, but always to eat inside, where the food is fabulous. Outside, at lunchtime, post-Covid was at small tables and chairs in the gravelled courtyard / garden. There is now a little wooden hut for purchases of nice relishes etc and a limited menu for dining here. When we saw a small range of panini and some avocado on toast on the blackboard, our hearts sank a little but we should not have worried. This is nothing like the run-of-the-mill stuff you get in town. The brilliant French chef patron creates some stunning effects and we ended up wishing for more, if our stomachs had not been full. On a wet day, I can't imagine how they cope but we got sun and cloud and thoroughly enjoyed it. We are going back today !

Saw a little sign pop up on the Hildersham Road/A1307 crossroad so thought it was worth a look.Plenty of outside seating with a mini shop and food ordering area.The young girl who took the order and served was very friendly. Food came out quickly. My wife had a chicken and pesto toasted panini,which was delicious. I can see this becoming a regular!!

This restaurant is an absolute gem. The food quality is impeccable, whether you come for a tapas night, roast dinner or a different occasion. Visited this restaurant several times and the dishes were always outstanding, whether it had meat, fish or was vegetarian; whether it was a starter, main course or dessert. For me, the composition of flavours in various courses is really a work of art performed by the restaurant’s chef.Pear and Olive is unusual for a typical restaurant goer as it is a ‘scratch kitchen’. It means the restaurant does not have a set menu and each day offers something different, depending on availability of ingredients and the chef’s inspiration. Rather than coming with something particular in mind, come in and let something tasty be put forward for you. It’s worth it – your meal will be composed of the freshest and best quality ingredients, supported by skill and knowledge of the owners.The restaurant has a relaxed atmosphere. Enjoy a great selection of wines while waiting for your meal – remember that culinary art of top class requires time. It's a perfect place to celebrate any significant occasions with your family friends or partner.In terms of prices, they are higher than when you go to a pub or an ordinary restaurant around the area, but considering the quality of food, they are not too high and well worth it!

I went with three friends and whilst the food was pretty good the service was terrible. It’s clear there are just not enough serving in the restaurant. The waiter was rushed off his feet, having to serve drinks and food all on his own. This is certainly not a review for his obvious hard work, clear to see. An impossible task! For a restaurant of this calibre it is quite astounding to have to wait long periods and the wrong drinks were served. It is an extremely busy place and could do well, also expensive so why oh why have you not yet sorted the service out. This tainted the evening and it is safe to say we will not be returning.

Today we order a Christmas Dinner takeout for 5 people. It was absolutely divine and will be putting in my Christmas order for 2020 . Many thank Gael & Team

Attended With Family On A Sunday Lunchtime Made Very Welcome. Premises were serving lunch which booking is recommended. Owners very pro children in this cosy establishment . Varied menu to suit all tastes. Excellent customer service will definitely call again.

This place has been recommended to us as a place, where you can have "the best Sunday roast". So we booked and went to experience it. Sadly, what we experienced was far from the best experience we anticipated. The place is rather small/cosy, but has a lot of character brought by interior design. So plenty of good vibes.However the service really let it down. Issues:1. Despite the rather imposing wine menu on the table (no food menu available today) and beautiful glasses, the waiter did not think was important to take the drinks order (wine), until we called another waitress and requested a single glass of wine.2. The other waitress, attempted to bring us orange juice that we did not order and was a bit confused if we have ordered or not already our food.2. The choice of roast was great - 4 types. However, would you be happy if the meal comes incomplete and on several occasions you need to remind the staff that they forgotten to bring the complete meal out? No excuses, that was busy, as we were only the second table to be served. However, the attention to detail was really lacking.The Yorkshire puddings (that have been promised by the verbal menu the waiter originally delivered) were forgotten, then towards the end of the meal, you realized that the staff have also forgotten another element - to bring the cauliflower cheese.Very disappointing and feels that the front of the house and the chef today (not the main chef), who was bringing the meals out of the kitchen, have really let the place down today. According to what was delivered to us today, I am afraid the place did not meet the expectations and will not be returning nor recommending it to others.

We called last minute looking for somewhere for lunch. I think it was the owner we spoke to on the phone, who is delightful and bent over backwards to fit us in and make us feel comfortable.The food was absolutely exquisite. My sister commented that it was the best Sunday roast she has ever had and I have to agree.What a gem of a place; we will be back.Thank-you so much. Comfortable, relaxed, beautiful, unpretentious and stunning, stunning food.

Great dinner. Open kitchen, nice welcome, interesting menu, locally sourced, beautifully cooked. Well worth the short drive from Cambridge; loved it.

This quaint place is a hidden gem! Chef Gaels culinary skills are exceptional! The ambience is amazing!

This newly opened eatery is small but perfectly formed. We booked a group in of 20 which was no problem at all. We started of in the garden with Prosecco and nibbles and then sat down for a tasting menu. The food was superb, the service was brilliant and the wines were well matched. I will return very soon for another meal here without a doubt. If there was a highlight, it was the perfectly cooked venison

Having walked across the fields from Linton we arrived at the Pear and Olive to see a board outside saying ‘Tapas. Garden open’. We went towards the garden and looked in at the open door where another sign showed the opening hours from 11am on a Friday. We asked if we could have some coffee. The reply, shouted from inside was ‘I’ve only just arrived and we don’t open until 12’. It was 11.20am. We left. As we walked past the front door an individual came out and said ‘we open at 11.30’. We pointed out the sign at the back which clearly said 11am and also the blackboard which said that the garden was open. He was completely uninterested and verging on surly. What shortsightedness on his part. We might have come back for dinner in the evening. How difficult is it to say’give me 5 minutes and I’ll make you some coffee’. He needs to get another job. In fact, if he were working for me I would insist that he do just that. I shan’t be returning.

I have never before been to a restaurant that did not publish the menu in the restaurant. Perhaps it was there but we weren’t made aware of it. There was also no wine list. The wine was topped up and we were not sure what we were drinking or how much it cost. It turned out to be a tasting menu with fish. The portions were delicious but tiny. We had no idea how much they cost. The bill was high. We went home still hungry and had cheese and biscuits. It is a shame because it’s all a bit pretentious but the service, decor and ambience are very pleasant. We may go back but only after checking what is on the menu and what the charges are, will avoid ‘tasting ‘ menu as this seems a code word for skimpy food, no carbs to speak of and no vegetables either.

From the moment we arrived we had the most pleasant of a summer evening dinning experience. The service was impeccable, friendly and advisory without being too much, and the food, all cooked fresh and to order from the chef was perfect. All accompanied by a red wine called The Guv’nor which was divine. Looking forward to returning soon.

Had booked a table for Friday evening, arrived 15 minutes early and told we didn’t have booking. On showing restaurant manager the confirmation email were just told there was nothing that can be done and rudely shown the door. There is no excuse for poor customer service like this . On reading over review I can now see they have had previous problems with customer service. Probably ok when thing run smoothly but can’t deal with the issues that can arise whilst running a small business.

Exceptional small restaurant atmosphere. Prompt and personalised attention. Outstanding French cuisine. Fresh ingredients made to order. Lots of thought and prep gone into each dish. Already booked again.

Had the tasting menu for a family celebration. Wonderful, fresh ingredients prepared in interesting ways that bring out the deliciousness, never just fancied up for the sake of fanciness. Accompanying wines and other drinks went perfectly with the dishes. Walking in is slightly daunting as there's not much info outside, but it's a small friendly place that quickly makes you feel welcome and at home. Not cheap but good value for what you get. Will definitely going back soon for the regular menu, tapas, or just a drink.

Formerly the Pear a Tree village pub, in a high street some miles outside Cambridge, this is now. French restaurant near Haverhill. Quite small, not many tables, and the food is superb. Not cheap but by no means Michelin priced and good value for what they do. Short menu but good choices, wine list not great and some wines not available. Thoroughly enjoyed it.

This place has an excellent reputation so we visited for an early evening drink and checked that they would be open for lunch the next day that they confirmed. I even spoke with the chef as my wife is lactose intolerant to be sure that he could adapt his cuisine. We duly turned up the next day for lunch to find the place closed. Our guest, a local resident, phoned them up to be told that "he" was out getting some parts as they were very busy in the evening and might open later! I am sure that their food is good BUT their customer service is non existant.

We have visited The Pear and Olive a few times now, always lovely food and knowledgeable, friendly and helpful staff. The only downside is when they are really busy or are short staffed you can be in there for three hours before you finish! May I politely suggest that whilst having the waiting time explained to us, it would be really nice to have maybe homemade nibbles or olives, nuts, bread etc to fill in while we are waiting as it is such a long time to go without eating anything alongside our alcohol! It makes diners very restless just sitting with drinks and waiting such a long time for their food to arrive.

Lovely food and setting. Chef came round to chat to everyone at the end of the night. Would recommend highly

Visited now for the fourth time and it is very nice to see a changing menu every time we have been here in the last 8 weeks.

Absolutely superb, we stayed at the gorgeous cottage which is just next to the restaurant.

We had dinner on a Friday night. Benefited from a table of five having ordered five of the six mains on the menu, all of which looked excellent. To start tuna carpaccio (soft and delicate) and scallops (pleased that the coral was on and in an excellent broth). For mains perfectly cooked sea bass and pheasant, the latter with an excellent selection of heritage vegetables. Don’t normally have desserts, but we shared a chocolate torte - rich but not too sweet. Very well paced meal, with excellent and friendly service, the chef also took the time to speak to all the diners. Will come again.

We celebrated my birthday with family. Food is amazing. Staff is friendly and look after customers. We will back again definitely.

Truly wonderful food (only 7 miles from Cambs), the chef is brilliant: his food amazing. Service was personal and excellent throughout. I came across Pear & Olive by accident (02/02/19): booked on a whim for that night: it was a very lucky find. We predominantly chose from the specials, there were loads!, but that’s surely the point of a ‘scratch’ concept. Bored Cambridge people looking for something better and new: this is the place! Only minor fault is that the kitchen isn’t McDonald’s speed, but we weren’t there for fast-food, we went for great food and Pear & Olive certainly delivered that.

Having read previous reviews we were really looking forward to having dinner there this weekend. We were very disappointed with our meal ,having been seated we had to wait nearly 2 hours for our meal to be served and when it did eventually arrive it was not as described on the menu. We ordered the home made tagliatelle this was slopped together with seafood and thrown on top some mussels which I do not eat and were not mentioned on the menu. Don’t think we will be going back.

My family and I stumbled across this place when we had an unexpected extra night in the UK. The food was fantastic, the atmosphere great, and the rooms were lovely to stay in.

First time visited premises with family after re opening. Made to feel very welcome by Michael. Menus are being updated so only had a drink. Good selection of wines and beers. Nicely refurbished and will certainly call again.

We spent a delightful evening at The Pear & Olive. It is comfortable & inviting for pre dinner drinks, the friendly staff didn't rush us to decide & we moved to dining table when meal was prepared. Food is excellent, menu changes frequently according to availability of produce - some options were 'off' by the time we chose at 20.15hrs, but a good selection remained. It is expensive but food is beautifully presented.
