Six Bells in South Cambridgeshire

We can’t thank Tony the landlord and his team of absolutely fantastic staff enough for letting us use the function room for our wedding reception on Friday. The communication on the night was fantastic and it all went very smooth. From the very first phone call, Tony was eager to assist in any way possible. Both Tony and his staff were on hand to help in any way possible on the days running up to and on the day. The room looked incredible. The food was perfect. All 22 of us could not fault anything with the quality, quantity or presentation of the food. The menu is spot on, just the way it should be for a cracking village pub. Tony, Caroline and I couldn’t be happier with how it went. So thank you once again to you and your fantastic team.

Had a lovely meal celebrating my birthday with my family . The food was good , we all really enjoyed what we had. My 7 year old grandson loved the children's chicken wings ( he said they were the best he'd ever had ) And he really enjoyed his banter with the landlord too !

First visit to the Six Bells dined in the resturant, nice enough suroundings clean and well presented. Orders taken by freindly staff efficiently and food served quickly. The main courses where enjoyable feel for the portion size it is overpriced. The desserts were piping hot the icecream tasted great shame the brownie was hard like a biscuit.

Me and a friend stopped by on our way to watch Charlton v Cambridge yesterday.. we did the same last season.. new ownership, a warmer welcome and even better food... 2 fish & chips that were divine! Shane, the chef, did a great job!.. we’d be regulars if we lived locally! A top lunch, for sure..

Second time I visited in a week first time sat in bar , manager VERY RUDE , felt like an inconvenience to be served , bitten around my ankle while in there , second visit ( not by choice was already arranged ) sat in garden to avoid being bitten , waitress was amazing and friendly plus helpful ( couldn't fault her ) . Chef brought our food out and again he was very rude to our whole group , food was very over priced for what we received. I ordered cabbage slaw which I thought would be a nice Coleslaw bit no just a pile of cabbage , very disappointing

My husband and I stopped here for a bite of lunch with our 3 yr old grandson and our (large) dog! First impressions were that it was a 'proper' pub with good beer and good food. We were all made very welcome and the guy who served us was so friendly and helpful. The sandwiches were lovely and the children's chicken nuggets and chips were not only enjoyed by grandson, but looked amazing - we had to try one and can confirm that they were made of 'proper' chicken breast NOT reconstituted chicken. Lunch was great and good value too. Shame that we were just passing through as this is a bit too far for us to pop in but would thoroughly recommend.

We enjoyed a lovely Mother’s Day lunch - a mixture of Sunday lunches, pies and children’s meals. The mums enjoyed a free glass of Prosecco each, as well as a lovely gift of a candle and flowers. The service was prompt and friendly, we’ll be back!

Meal wasn’t too bad, drinks expensive, service good. What really was annoying was a 10% service charge added to the bill! If I want to tip I will do it myself !

We had a festive meal so was looking forward to it. The roast dinner was terrible. It arrived with 3 dried out sprouts, frozen shrivelled peas (a teaspoon full!), roast potatoes and parsnip black reheated and hard (not edible!). My mum asked about yorkshire puddings they come extra, never heard anything like it. My husbands pie was bought in, my cod had no seasoning and was dry, and what it sat on well!. Dessert was no better. The whole meal was the worst we've ever had and spoilt our evening. They then had the nerve to add a 10% service charge. Basically all our meals were microwaved (could hear the pinging) nothing homemade, if it was the chef wants sacking. One big over priced atrocious meal. Heard from other people afterwards that it's all microwaved food.

Small Cosy friendly pub in town with a great atmosphere.Excellent food Well frequented by locals. Joined in the quiz night

Popped in for a quick pint and food, the ale was poor and food was disgraceful very disappointed Pie was poor quality and burnt with a spoon full of chips and egg cup full of gravy

Lovely meal and vastly improved from our last meal. Sarah, Neil and the team are certainly enthusiastic and are turning the pub around. A great asset to the village and we will be back!!

I took 12 of my family, 3 generations, here for an evening meal an a Saturday evening. Firstly, booking was easy and efficient, with a timely reminder on phone. The place itself combines a popular and cosy village pub with a nice restaurant that was just perfect for us. They made a long table for us and served drinks including some nice local ales. There was an excellent choice of quality food and drink with something for everyone. The service was first class and friendly. Quite how the chef can create 12 varied meals arriving on time and faultless is beyond me. We had a really lovely evening and will definitely be back. Thank you!

Have eaten here before and cannot argue with the food....good pub grub and the beer is good. However, sat down at just before 8pm and was told at 3 minutes past that the kitchen was closed. I guess their loss...the other pub in the village were happy to accommodate us and were happy to take our £100 for food and beer!!

Great food, friendly staff and customers. We were away on holiday and went for a drink returned next night for a meal. Best fish and chips and chicken burgers we have had in years. Desserts were enjoyed by all. Highly recommend you try it, you wont be disappointed. Thank you wish we lived nearer you would be regulars.

Lovely friendly pub and great staff. Good choice of eating areas,the snug, bar, restaurant and outdoors. Good pub food and I can highly recommend thier chicken and ham pie. The pub garden has lots of different seating areas and games for families to play. The pub is very dog friendly inside and out. Visited several times during our stay at a near by camping and caravan park,will be visiting again.

Went for a mid week meal, it is our local so often pop down for food or a drink. It has a lovely big beer garden and you can bring dogs which we love. However, there are three sides to the bar to order from. We were the first waiting, and instead another lady got served first. Then when moving on to the man behind her, he wanted to order for 10 people (food). We were then told (having been in the queue before these two people) that there would be a long wait for food and that these people should have ordered a table if there were 10 of them. This was disappointing as firstly we queued first, and secondly, they gave no option to put in 2 meals prior to this large order.

Staff didnt turn up for their shift and the fire alarm was being tested but .... the lady behind the bar was amazing - kept going - talking and smiling with customers - really impressed. Food was good choice and price - quick pleasant service and lovely food - good quality - nicely presented - would recommend - we sat outside

Great home cooked food, good portions and good value. Excellent service from Lyndsey who made us very welcome. Cosy environment.

We had a visitor so decided to eat out locally. It is an old pub with a great atmospheric and the waitress/ barmaid was friendly and attentive. I usually go for Hunters Chicken when eating out as you know what to expect and it is usually good but on this occasion, I decided to try something else. My fellow diners both chose the steak pie with veg and chips and I ordered the Lobster pasta with king prawns and garlic bread. The food came out reasonably quickly, I admit to immediately wishing I had stuck up to my original choice as what arrived looked more like a started! A handful of pasta with sauce and a generous amount of standard sized prawns in an iron skillet with two bits of garlic bread on the side. It was on a wooden board as the skillet was hot. The sauce was really lovely, rich and flavoursome but the proportions were all wrong as there wasn’t enough pasta. Double the amount of pasta twists, which are the cheapest ingredient, put it in a bowl and it would have been great! I could understand the skillet if it was a dish that had a crusty cheese topping but this didn’t. There was melted cheese but not a lot but it wasn’t bubbling! I did point out that I hadn’t found any lobster pieces in there and was informed that there aren’t any… it is in the sauce! So no lobster or ‘king’ prawns and a handful of pasta really isn’t worth the £14.50 price tag. I did have a dessert, handmade sticky toffee pudding and ice cream which was nice.

Me and my fiancé was in for the Mother’s Day meal and it was delicious the portions was big I could not finish it’s all and it was very good value for my money

Our second visit to the 6 bells and we will be back. After a friendly welcome we were offered the choice of eating in the pub or restaurant, we chose restaurant so that we could chat. The food is well cooked and tasty, with a...

Four of us had a thoroughly enjoyable visit on Saturday 11th March lunchtime. The food and service were both excellent. Very good to see dogs made welcome too.

The Six Bells has been our local for many years but with several changes in management over the past 4-5 years (one fantastic, some others leaving a lot to be desired) it's been quite a rocky journey to where we are today... COVID certainly didn't...

Visited The Bells with a group of 14 friends for a Christmas meal. Friendly and helpful service. Excellent meal considering they were going with 2 large groups in the restaurant and a party in the function room - food brought to the group in good...

We have been having our annual Christmas dinner at the Bell's for at least 7 years, and this years's was definitely the best food by far. Fantastic!

After previous posting a negative review since the change of management. I would like to say how nice it was to see both the landlord and landlady welcoming the locals . All drinks appeared to be available. A very enjoyable afternoon. A great atmosphere.

The bar staff were pleasant but the first 3 drinks we asked for where not available, no pinot Grigio wine, no Amstel lager and no Bud bottles, Is this a pub ? This pub has gone down hill big time, this pub was a thriving...

The six bells has been our local for over 11 years . We have enjoyed many a meal of good quality but unfortunately would no longer book as food is not always available and not of quality. Today was the icing on the cake ,...

Went to our local for a family meal. Pub was busy and initially no tables were available. When one did become free we grabbed it and ordered our food. After an hour’s wait our food had still not materialised. The manageress was going round apologising...

Went for a meal today at six bells fulbourn we waited an hour for our meal, when it arrived it was absolute rubbish pork was so fatty you couldn't eat it, only veg was a slice of carrot and maybe a teaspoon of cabbage and...

The pub was empty but we had to wait 45 minutes for our starters and one didn't come. We then waited another hour for our mains (after starters collected). The waitress agreed that "it's awful" (her words). The food was disgusting - a very poor...

Just a little lunch during the week and I was so pleasantly surprised to find the best fish and chips I have eaten for years sitting on my plate! It was a large piece of golden fish coated in the lightest crispy batter ever! I...

Our family of nine visited for lunch today. The pub has recently changed hands and we found the food disappointing. When we last visited in April 2022 we had loved the food. Today I had sausage and mash with peas and onion gravy. The sausages...

Stopped in for a quick lunch. Initially hard to find anyone to serve (bar seems unattended a lot)! but friendly chap did appear and maybe was working with limited help. Small menu - specials on the board all seemed to be unavailable? but think this...

Visited here last weekend for Sunday lunch with family and was most impressed, we had a mixture of the roast beef and pork between us as well as starters and even a shared dessert and all tasted amazing, presentation was spot on, honestly one of...

Lovely evening meal for 9 of us, including 4 children. One of our party is gluten and dairy intolerant and this was taken in the stride of the chef who magically produced a gluten and dairy free chocolate brownie with raspberry sorbet. We liked that...

Mum & Dad thoroughly enjoyed their Roast on Sunday. A good size portion, lots of veg and lovely gravy. Excellent value for money. The staff were very friendly.

We were staying in the area and popped in for our evening meal. Friendly village pub. Staff very welcoming and accommodating. The food was perfectly cooked and so much of it. Good choice on the menu for a good pub meal. We had scampi and...

Had lasagne for my main meal, which was absolutely lovely and really hot. It came with a finely chopped salad, which was sufficient and a garlic soda bread. This was not a ‘ping’ meal, it was freshly made with good ingredients.

The service was efficient and friendly in the lovely pub garden at the back. I have to say that the Sunday beef roast that I had, was one of the top 3 I have ever had. My wife said that her burger with the stilton...

On arrival we were greeted by a lovely young lady who offered us a couple of choices on where we would like to sit. We chose a quiet corner in the bar. Service was good, took our order for drinks while we looked at the...

We had had a lovely take away Sundy lunch during lockdown so thought it would be a good idea to have a joint Birthday and Fathers Day, we had the following problems: Not given the tables we were originally allocated. Chicken off the menu at...

This pub threw us a lifeline when my daughter got married last weekend, when most venues were still closed. We could not have asked for more. A sheltered, romantic outdoor setting within the gazebo, tasty food and great service. Nothing was too much effort from...

We booked to have a meal here as you can't just have drinks due to government laws. On arrival people where just having drinks (no food in site). Seated at our table separated by perspex only trouble was if the lady near us hadn't of...

My husband and I had a most enjoyable lunch here midweek. Cannot fault the food, bacon chops were really delicious, husband's scampi perfect and plentiful. Neither of us could finish all our meal! Will certainly return. Very clean and friendly service.

We went for a family Sunday lunch. We were a 1.30 table and it took over an hour to get our food. We were forgotten when wanting to order our food and then I think we were forgotten by the kitchen. It was a real...

Finally, we have a pub in the village that does decent food. Since the pub changed hands it is has improved one hundred fold. We've eaten at the pub a few times - the burgers are amazing the Sunday Roast fabulous and good value for...

We used to visit regularly until it closed for change of management and a refurb. It's now spotlessly clean but the food is so disappointing, typical "chain" pub food and very little really to recommend it. The pie was "off" so I chose Hunter's Chicken...

Went with a group of friends for the ‘eat out ‘ scheme Excellent provision of hand sanitisers , restaurant very clean , food excellent , price - excellent , company excellent All in all excellent

Not sure who is using the microwave in the back to cook literally every dish, but they need to learn how to use the timer better...

Belated birthday meal for my mum. Staff very friendly and helpful, food delicious and we will happily come back. A great pub.

We were made to feel most welcome by the new landlady during our annual crib match. We were provided with several different soups during the evening and they were all absolutely gorgeous. These were all her chefs own creations. Whilst I am not local, when...

Came to the 6 bells for a showing of the film nativity, for a family afternoon, very enjoyable, worth a visit, real family atmosphere looking forward to the next one, thank you for making us feel welcome, staff amazing, perfect family atmosphere

Group lunch, 10 of us, pre-booked, Wednesday in December. VERY slow service, but polite and friendly. Rather squashed into an end alcove making moving around and serving awkward. Basic pub menu, everything with chips, limited choice and not very imaginative. Ate bangers and mash which...

Restaurant almost empty which was a ctually good as we wanted a quiet meal to catch up. Food was fine and service OK. Pub has now changed hands and refurbished so we will visit again in the near future.

We’ve been to the six bells a few times for meals with friends over the last few years, but only once since it changed hands. The restaurant was empty apart from us. When my fish and chips came the fish was over cooked and the...

Passing through and stopped off for a quick bite. Very impressed with the menu and the quick scan on the back off the menu for allergen information. Service was quick and polite with good banter would recommend to anyone passing through for a good meal...

We first visited about 10 years ago when our daughter moved from Scotland to this area. We went in and were immediately spotted by the host "Yes sir, what can I get you?" with a welcoming smile. I was unfamiliar with the local ales, and was invited to try a selection free of charge. "Are you eating" he enquired. "Then have a seat, I'll bring your drinks over and get your order". And so it has continued for about 10 years. A place to really enjoy. In 2 weeks this will end. I just hope that when we next return, the new owner can continue this service. In the meantime, thank you!

Walked out of here just yesterday after reading the ‘reviews’ online and being totally deceived.... went here looking for ‘decent pub grub’ and was met by absolutely no service, an empty restaurant at 8pm on a Saturday... (that speaks for itself) and the food was...

Have been using " The Six Bells " for several months which includes a group in the " Function Room ",and regular use of the restaurant. Every month with a smaller group and the opinion of all has been first class.

I'm new to the area so will be back again to order somthing different. The chicken burger was just a fillet and bun with loads of mayo would have liked to seen it jazzed up a bit. My partner had the normal burger and paid...

We didn't eat here as too early when we visited but nice friendly staff and not expensive we had tea and coffee which came with lovely complementary biscuits would visit again if in the area

Best Sunday roast we have ever had. Good selection of meals available. This pub was run by my wife's great great grandfather in early 1800's. Friendly and helpful staff.

Visited recently & the food and drink was wonderful. The service was top notch & the whitebait was super! Most definitely fresh!

Great friendly atmosphere in a lovely old pub clearly popular with the locals. Pie of the day and scampi well up to standard and fresh fruit Pavlova was superb in quality and quantity.

Enjoyed lunch alfresco in my favourite pubs beautiful garden today.Usual friendly service from landlird Hugo and food arrived quickly by happy waitress.Prawn cocktail was perfectly proportion of prawns to mixed salad leaves. Lots of nice dressing garnish of tomato and cucumber.Served with fresh malted grain...
