Sole & Duck in Cambridge

Really great place. To start we didn’t realise the restaurant wasn’t open for another 20 min and we were welcomed inside to take a seat. Very accommodating with young children, nice high hairs, toddler cutlery, paper & crayons. Nice menu and good quality food all cooked very well. Steak perfectly. Set menu for kids was actually very good value. Friendly service. Highly recommended.

The steaks and fish were very delicious, as were the appetizers. I will try black cod and wagyu next time, but you need to book in advance.

Great for and nice selection. Great vibe as well. A bit on the expensive side

Sunday roast, and the food was amazing. Great place for a nice family dinner, and I suspect have a great wine menu...

Delicioso asado dominical con variedad perfectamente cocinada de vegetales incluyendo puré de zanahoria (y una zanahoria asada) , col y tocino y brócoli de tallo tierno. La opción de asado vegano era una deliciosa berenjena rellena con su propia gama de lados y salsa. Fue encantador tener una opción vegana bien pensada y no solo la versión de carne con elementos eliminados.

We were a party of ten celebrating a couple of birthdays, the food was extremely good, and presented so beautifully. All the staff were so attentive and professional. We all had an amazing night and will be returning again without any hesitation. Thank you Gan & Katie for your attention to detail, a really great night.

What can I say, another fantastic meal. The garlic king prawns are huge and out of this world, you get 6 large prawns. We had Korean BBQ chicken which is amazing! Our mains were beautiful. The service is outstanding and the place is super clean. A must visit!

The place is very cozy and relaxing with excellent staff and quick service. They have very tender lamb. Its a shame to drive past and see the place empty as they really desire more customers.

This is it. The place to be. It's on the outskirts of Cambrdige, but really worth it. Decent pricing and really really good food. I never review anything, but this is the place to be!

We just had an amazing valentines evening at this restaurant. The food was amazing and of a very high standard. The service matched the food too. Refreshing to have such a nice experience in Cambridge. Thank you

Hermosa comida - una de las mejores comidas en cambridge y un menú atractivo y emocionante. Servicio perfecto y vino realmente hermoso. Todo era perfecto!

We had the two course lunch set menu which was delicious and great value for money. The restaurant is beautifully laid out and immaculate. Service was great too.

Food was banging, drinks were banging. But most importantly… Jack’s service, was banging <3

Éramos una gran fiesta, así que elegimos nuestros menús por delante, incluida la reorganización de los cursos para permitir que las personas intercambiaran entrantes por la red principal o variar los extras. Todas las solicitudes fueron atendidas y nos dieron una tarjeta de menú personalizada a la llegada para que pudiéramos comprobar los detalles. El aparcamiento era fácil, el ambiente interior se sentía cálido y acogedor con mesas agrupadas en varias zonas acogedoras y el personal era encantador. La comida era deliciosa - carne perfectamente preparada, pescado y pato con salsas sabrosas. Todo estaba bien chapado con cuidados toques decorativos. Este restaurante merece hacerlo bien. Tuvimos una gran velada y lo recomiendo.

Extremely helpful team - we held a birthday lunch here and they were very responsive, attentive and accommodating. Food was delicious and enjoyed by all. Thank you very much!

Outstanding food and wine. We had the tiger prawns and crispy duck as starters, absolutely fantastic. Then the mushroom tagliatelle and wild sea bass, it was perfectly accompanied by the (well chosen) wine of the month (Picpoul). Then a Japanese plum wine (the first time we have ever had this), it was stunning. Service was great, really it was a perfect dinner out - I totally recommend Sole and Duck - you will not be disappointed

Staff members were very polite and patient, however did not feel acknowledged by the manager.

La primera vez que visité, recibí una cálida bienvenida a la llegada, la comida era muy buena y el personal muy amable y servicial. Las costillas de cerdo eran muy sabrosas y el pescado con papas fritas muy buena porción Otros comensales disfrutaron de su comida, disfrutaron del Pato Aromástico Crujiente y Rump de Cordero Sin duda recomendaría

I had a wonderful lunch with my husband. The food was absolutely fantastic, and I particularly enjoyed the fish of the day—wild sea bass. The service was excellent as well. As a passionate amateur photographer, I love capturing moments through my lens. Noticing the lighting, one of the waiters thoughtfully brought over an atmospheric light to enhance my photos, which I truly appreciated

The best pub in Cambridge and the best steak I've had in a long time. A comfortable and welcoming environment with exceptional service from Jack. We will be returning.

One of the best restaurants in Cambridge. Excellent food, service and atmosphere. Plenty of free parking.

A Beautiful interior, clean tidy and set out perfectly. But... we arrived at 1:10 and didn't receive our drinks till 1:45. Staff well presented but floated around clueless. My partners Fish dish was fantastic, our friends beef wasn't even cooked. And my pork was quite fatty. Vegetables where lovely and our food was hot. Due to our disappointment the Host waiter did treat us to free desserts as we wernt happy with our main meals which was the right thing to do. Desserts were delightful. Didn't pay service charge as we personally felt the service was very poor. We won't be returning which is a shame.

Yo había pedido el menú. El pescado en mi plato principal estaba demasiado cocido, cuando dije esto se volvió difícil para ellos abordar. Me ofrecieron un nuevo trozo de pescado, pero a mitad de la comida, así que dije que no, ya que entonces solo comería pescado solo. Luego me ofrecieron un plato de comida completamente nuevo, que mis amigos tendrían que sentarse y verme comer! Finalmente me ofrecieron un 50% de descuento en ese curso. Al recibir la factura me habían cobrado por 3 platos individuales (no el precio con descuento) - cuando impugné esto su razón de ser era que la comida establecida ya estaba rebajada, así que no podía entonces descontar más debido al reembolso del plato de pescado. Como repetidamente desafié esto, el camarero finalmente me devolvió la cuenta y ‘gruñó’ ‘bien, hablaré con el gerente’. Finalmente cumplieron con el menú establecido con el reembolso, pero el camarero fue extremadamente grosero y no se disculpó por su manera. Mi amigo es libre de gluten, pero los únicos desiertos sin gluten eran helado o sorbete. No muy inspirador. Estoy muy decepcionado con esta experiencia.

Great food, great service, somewhat expensive (£60/ person). Dishes on the small side.

Nuevo menú excelente, realmente fabulosa comida asiática infundida y servicio ejemplar. El lenguado y el pato es sin duda nuestro restaurante favorito.

Came here for a Christmas lunch and enjoyed the vegetarian options. Highly recommend the sticky toffee, was not sickly sweet at all and was just right. Service from staff was great.

One of our favourite places for food in Cambridge. The food quality is superb and service exceptional! Highly recommended!

Great pub and delicious food. The waiter was incredible, very attentive and always checking on us.

Very tasty food here, get the duck! Cater to allergies and children. Food has got better if anything!

Absolutely fabulous lunch, superb service, delicious food. 5 stars is not enough!!!

First time at this restaurant for a Family Sunday Lunch Without doubt THE best Sunday launch we have ever had! The service, ambience and more intently the quality of food was outstanding. The problem now for us is that we will be using this experience as our benchmark against others and the competition will have to work very hard to meet these standards. A small detail but for us the vegetables are very important ..the broccoli and green beans were cooked to absolute perfection!

This is a true gem in the Cambridge food scene! We had a superb Friday lunch to mark my birthday. I had the Wagyu beef, which was cooked to perfection and is probably the best steak I have ever had. My husband had the black cod, which was sublime in terms of texture and delicate soy flavours. The food is a feast for the senses! And there is something special for the wine enthusiasts too - they use Coravin and serve fine wines by the glass. I had a glass of Chateau Laroque Saint-Emilion Grand Cru 2019, which was a great pairing with the wagyu beef. We will be back for more very soon.

Simply my favourite restaurant in Cambridge, good quality food, great service, never get disappointed no matter what you order.

Un restaurante favorito que siempre ofrece un excelente servicio con fantástica comida y vino. La experiencia de esta noche de Tomahawk steak fue increíble y una que se repetirá de nuevo. El

We’ve visited this restaurant on several occasions now and have never been disappointed. The food and service is amazing and has always been consistent, would always recommend a visit. Our number 1 for a Sunday roast

We had a great family dinner in here. They went above and beyond helping me to organise it and make it as smooth as possible. Food was freshly prepared, great choice. We really loved starters and mains, deserts were also nice, just felt too full to finish :)

Our favourite restaurant in Cambridge. Everything about Sole & Duck is just perfect. From the warm welcome from the owner (who genuinely cares about the restaurant and giving everyone a fantastic experience); to the friendly, warm, attentive (without being pushy) service; to the delicious food and drink; and the tasteful, clean, and comfortable decor; you just can’t fault this place. We’ve been quite a few times now and each time it’s been a great experience. We especially note that Jack is a superb waiter who really embodies everything that’s great about this place.

Unreal! Excellent service start to finish! The food was exquisite! Fab parking. It's my new go too

Food = 10/10 Excellent quality - I recommend Norfolk Pork Belly, Korean Fried Chicken, Duck Burger and the Sticky Toffee Pudding. I have now had both a Sunday roast and a 3 course dinner (£41) here and would recommend both. Service = Our server Jack was very approachable and gave us time to choose our dishes and helped delay our booking. We were also allowed to sit at our table to chat for several hours as there were not many evening bookings that day. Atmosphere = 10/10 Great ambience and felt well looked after. Location = Situated in Trumpington with easy access and parking that is free behind it. When taking into account an average expenditure of £25-40 per person - this restaurant is ideal for a special occasion.

Tuvimos una cena encantadora en la última noche de nuestras vacaciones. La comida era muy sabrosa y refinada. Encontramos un gran vino en su carta de vinos que ofrecía una buena opción y el servicio era amable y bueno! Una sorpresa maravillosa en una noche lluviosa.

I enjoyed Sunday lunch. Fine meals and atmosphere, be loved by the locals, I believe. Perhaps best for a semi-special or special occasion.

Uno de los lugares raros y de verdadera calidad para comer en Cambridge. ¡NO hay muchos! Hermoso ambiente, el servicio es cálido y acogedor y completamente profesional y la comida absolutamente exquisita... . ¡Y hay aparcamiento! Para un evento familiar maravilloso, velada romántica para 2 amigos, ¡perfecto!

Interesante y excelente comida. Excelente servicio. Silencio, para que puedas oír a la gente en tu mesa hablar. Una gama inusualmente amplia de vinos por copa, algunos caros. Una experiencia agradable.

Excellent Sunday roast. Very good wine list. A very welcoming and relaxing atmosphere.

We had a delicious Sunday lunch. The restaurant was beautifully cool despite it being 27 degrees outside. Only disappointment was that Tuna Tataki was not on the menu today. But, the Tiger Prawns and crab starters were a good substitute. The roast beef was cooked to perfection. Not too sure about the roast potatoes, but otherwise a very pleasant meal and we will definitely go back.

We regularly come here to eat. Easily the best Sunday roast in Cambridge but the whole menu never disappoints when we come during the week. The wine list is comprehensive. The staff are fantastic and the restaurant is very comfortable. There is a large garden outside so we can bring the dog who is welcome too

Had another fantastic meal here today. The menu had plenty of delicious options, great drinks menu. Such a calm and relaxing place to eat with family and friends, with beautiful dishes cooked to perfection and excellent service. Absolutely top class, with obvious care and attention paid to food and service. Can't recommend Sole and Duck enough!

Absolutely stunning food and amazing service thank you 🙏

Fantastic food and great service

No negatives. Service 10/10 in particular. And food is madly good. So is the desert.

Nestled in a charming corner of the city, the restaurant boasts a warm, inviting atmosphere that immediately makes you feel at home.

My first time here. The decor is very nice and relaxing. The staff are very pleasant and attentive. The food was really good well cooked and nicely presented. I will definitely be returning, great experience thank you to all of the staff.

Last weekend we had our friends surprise wedding anniversary dinner at the Sole & Duck. The staff were brilliant pre-planning the event for 12 people. On the day it went really well and we could not have asked for better food, service or weather! We were seated in the private dining room and it felt as though we had the whole restaurant to ourselves. We will definitely be back and they were very accommodation to our food needs if any changes were made to the pre ordered menu.

Personal amable y muy profesional. Muy bonita decoración. Caro para lo que se entrega. El menú se lee mejor que la calidad de la comida entregada. La carta de vinos es pretenciosa y cara. El pescado estaba demasiado cocido y las verduras poco cocidas

🧝‍♂️🌸: 🌍🍑💜, Robin Zavous is my chef when i was in Blu... 22yrs ago...😘 ..

Lovely local restaurant just down the road, I haven’t had many good experiences with roast dinners here in Cambridge, but the roast dinner here was delicious! Everything cooked well, lovely vegetables and an amazing sticky toffee pudding. Service was great and I will definitely come back again. :)

Not impressed at all everything was rushed and massively expensive for a person on there own dont mind paying for quality but this wasnt good at all

We celebrated a wonderful birthday at Sole and Duck. The food was wonderful and the service first class. 100% recommend.

We had a fantastic lunch at Sole & Duck. For starters, we enjoyed the Crispy Aromatic Duck, which came with hoisin, cucumber, spring onion, and pancakes—it was delicious and perfectly prepared. For our mains, we ordered the Fish of the Day and the Hereford Beef Ribeye Steak (9 oz). Both dishes were cooked to perfection and tasted amazing. The service was excellent, with attentive and friendly staff. The interior is really pretty, creating a lovely dining atmosphere. Additionally, we appreciated the good-quality hand sanitizer provided at each table, ensuring a clean and safe dining experience.

I really couldn’t fault this restaurant. From the booking right through to the bill it was faultless and I very rarely say that! The staff looked after us well and even waived the usual 24 hour notice to order a tomahawk steak. The menu was well thought through and all three courses were delicious. Well worth a visit if you want a very good meal a little out of the city centre. It even has good parking.

Really delicious food, great selection on the menu. I wanted to try all the starters! Food was cooked well. Service was fantastic and we felt very looked after. Our server Jack was very lovely :)

Visited for a birthday celebration. Great food and excellent service. You should go here.

Amazing food and very kind staff. We found this place by chance on our way to Cambridge and had a great lunch.

My family had the Sunday Set Menu and every dish from both starters and mains, were amazing. Especially, the Korean Chicken and Tuna Tadaki were our favourite. Will definitely visit again very soon.

Absolutely fantastic experience at a competitive price given the quality of service and food. I had the lamb as a main, tuna tartare as a starter and cheesecake for dessert. Honestly could not fault any of them, some of the best lamb I've had. Really relaxed quiet atmosphere at lunch service ideal for a small group of friends meeting for a nice lunch or dinner. Suited us perfectly.

Absolutely delighted by my brithday dinner experience here! everything was satisfying - food was absolutely delicious, excellent service and cozy atmosphere. Highly recommend for anyone looking to make their special day even more special!

Excellent food with a wide range of tasty flavours. We went for Sunday lunch. For starters my daughter had crispy duck with pancakes: excellent and large enough to almost be a main course. My wife had Korean fried chicken: very good, particulalrly if you like spicy food. I had tuna tataki: a delicious light starter with tuna that is amazingly tender. For mains, the roast beef and chicken my wife and daughter had were excellent, as was the roast cod that I had. Very good service. Sticky toffee pudding dessert was outstanding. A peaceful atmosphere where we could easily hear each other talk. An unusually large selection of wines by the glass. We will return.

2nd visit, 2 years apart. Both very impressed. Food is fantastic and the dining room feels very high end. I’d come more but I have a toddler and rarely get out!

Strongly recommend the Sole & Duck in Trumpington. Excellent food and great attentive service. Recommend the Sunday lunch

One of the nicest place you could have a meal whilst in Cambridge. The restaurant's pub exterior is deceiving as upon entering, it has an elegant and understated interior that gives you the impression you're going to be in for a treat. The food is a wonderful fusion of French and Asian. Once again, when it comes to presentation, the food was very simply and elegantly plated. I had the duck confit for the main and sticky toffee pudding for dessert, and two weeks later I'm still thinking about the dishes. The selection of wines were delish and also very reasonably priced. Service was attentive and very personable as one of the owners Gan was serving that evening. Overall, I had a great evening spent at Sole and Duck. The food was faultless, as was the service. We had three courses plus wine and a cocktail, and we were shocked at how reasonably priced it was! A fabulous way to finish my UK/Cambridge visit. Thank you Gan!

We had a lovely Sunday roast here. However it was a shame we were left un attended for the first 15mins without so much as the tap water or asked for drinks. They did however pick up the service and bring drinks nice and quick. The staff were very friendly shame the table next to us had 3 very loud men almost shouting at each other.

We went to the restaurant for my partners birthday tonight and all of the staff were absolutely lovely. There was a small error with the food and they were exceptionally gracious and helpful. We look forward to going back soon as the food is exceptional and every time we go we have a super time.

Starter octopus was very good, while the crispy duck was not crispy at all. The steak was outstanding, definitely the best among others. It was a hard decision but the fish was finally described as the second best. The sunday roasts were okay. I would not choose pandan creme burlee next time. A bit pricy for the food quality, but still a good choice.

Fantastic food, very attentive staff and a lovely atmosphere. We will definitely be back on our next special occasion!

Our son and daughter took us to the Sole and Duck today. The atmosphere was great, the service excellent and the food sublime. Restaurants in Cambridge, wake up. You should aspire to reach their standards.

Service was slow and unprofessional. We waited for our courses for a while and ask our server when the food is gonna be ready.No acknowledge from a server after, a while owner came over to reassure food is coming witch the guy was drunk and slurring his words.We could smell alcohol from a mile. Overall food was OK but overall experience was hectic.

Beautiful place, magnificent tasting food, the most friendliest stuff and magnificent service!!!

Considering the price, food on the plate looks fantastic but taste is average. Service is good but you are paying 10% service fees.

Great venue and food was amazing. Highchair, menu and cutlery provided for toddler which was a nice touch!

We would not have had a nicer celebration lunch for my Mum's 80th. The private room is great for such events and the food and service were great. Thank you!

The owner of this establishment is a very rude individual. Speaks down to paying customers, will not be returning ever again. Stay well clear.

The service was absolutely lovely. The food was also incredible. I can imagine that during the summer this place is absolutely beautiful. Overall wonderful experience

We love this restaurant. The food is always delicious (especially the tiger prawns starter!!) and the selection of wines is unusual and informed. The service is always excellent, the staff are knowledgeable, attentive and friendly. This is our 'local' and it is a treasure!

A bit overpriced but good food. Wines are good as well. Great service

Fantastic service and even better food. Never disappoints us.

Amazing! The food is wonderful, very kind people, the service is spectacular. I strongly appreciate it

Yet another fabulous meal at this elegant, friendly restaurant. My husband, our daughter and myself went last night and the food was (as always) delicious. We first had some lovely cocktails and a beer in the bar seating area, we were shown to our table. After looking at the quite short menu (always a sign of freshly cooked food) my husband chose the pan-fried tiger prawns in garlic butter with homemade sourdough and our daughter and I both had the crispy duck & pancakes for starters. Absolutely delicious! My husband then had the “best steak I’ve had for ages”, whilst our daughter and I enjoyed the wonderful pork belly with amazing crackling served with a gravy boat on the side. All the choices were served with freshly cooked vegetables and were beautifully served. I then tried the yoghurt panna cotta (yum) for dessert and our daughter loved her artisan honeycomb ice cream & wafer. My husband couldn’t eat any more and settled on a coffee (he is very hard to please with coffee) and always enjoys the coffees here. The accompanying wines, as usual, were excellent. This restaurant is bright, exceptionally clean and tastefully decorated. The food is fresh & tasty and beautifully prepared to order. The owner, Gan, makes you feel welcome as soon as you enter, as do the rest of his staff. What more could you want? Try it and see.

What a disappointment this time. We've been here a number of times and always enjoyed good quality food. The real disappointment was the Christmas dinner. The turkey was dry, potatoes rubbery and veg was raw. The rest of the dishes were ok to good, but having previously come here for sunday roasts and really enjoyed them, we were really disappointed. We visited on a Saturday lunch time and it was not very busy.

We had a fabulous Sunday lunch. The garlic prawns were amazing and my husband said best roast beef he’d ever had. Can’t wait to come again.

Consistently great food and service. Will be back again, again.

Background - usually love this place and a regular and previous 5 star ⭐️ review. However tonight disappointed and will explain why. Whilst food as always was high quality we were sat on the left as you go in on the elevated area. A group of 6 were sat next to us who were the loudest group I’ve ever had to sit next to in a restaurant and totally obnoxious with it. The ladies in the group were actually screaming across the table. So much so you couldn’t hear yourself at all. I asked the waiter if he could ask them please to be a little quieter and he said no. It ended up with 3 out of 4 couples next to them moving to sit in the bar (including us as we were shouting at each other and couldn’t hear at all). At the end I asked them why this was acceptable as had put a dampener on our long awaited evening. I was informed that the six of them had paid over £1000 for dinner with pre ordered wagyu steaks etc. And there it is. My £200 tonight as a regular customer (usually once a month) was not enough to be treated with respect and not have my evening ruined. He who pays more can treat all the other customers with a total lack of respect and scream across a dining room all night causing everyone around them to have to move without an issue as they pay more. The manger could and should have dealt with this better. Regardless of the money they were paying they should not have been allowed to ruin everyone else’s night by behaving in this manner but it appears cold had cash is all that matters to sole and duck. I certainly won’t be popping along every month moving forward as they’ve made it clear where their priorities lie.

Nice place, although my steak was overcooked.

Wonderful food, excellent wine and a great outstanding service. Lost a star on atmosphere only because we had a very loud group near us. Only downside was picking just one dish for each course from a great menu. I really appreciated the care with my allergy. Will be recommending to others!

Wonderful food. Excellent service. Fantastic atmosphere. Loved it.

Only giving 4 stars for service as the staff is quite young and learning (nothing wrong with that of course). Otherwise 5 stars! The food is very good. The owner is on the floor. I'm updating my review as they had just opened and now the young wait staff are all very professional and the quality of the food is unwavering and excellent.

Excellent gastro pub/restaurant. Slightly high bill (about £50 pp including alcohol) but it was worth it. Recommended

My wife and I had lunch at the Sole and Duck last Friday to celebrate her birthday. It's a hdden gem and one of the best restaurants in Cambridge. Warm welcome and excelent serivce without being overbearing. My wife started with smoked mackerel which was outstanding. I couldn't make up my mind which starter to have... so I had two! Somebodymust have heard me say 'happy birthday. At the end of the meaal the waiter arrrived with a candle in an ice cream with happy Birthday written in chocolate on the plate. If we could give six stars we would.

Highly recommended by my friend that lives in Cambridge, this restaurant appears seemingly rustic at the outside, but surprises you with an absolutely delicious meal. From the starters, main, wine, all the way to dessert, everything was beyond perfect. Went out of the usual duck plates (they are popular for this they said) but I ordered the tiger prawns to start, catch of the day and vanilla parfait. Very very delicious!!! I would eat here again (and again) not just for the food but for the great service too!

First time back to the restaurant since Covid, to try it out under its new management. What a transformation! Beautifully decorated and lovely welcome by the staff. Knowledgeable staff too who helped us decide how our steak should be cooked. I had the set menu which was very good value for money and a large glass of wine which was reasonably priced too. It was in the quiet side for a Thursday so am hopeful that it gets busier over weekends. I would throughly recommend this restaurant as a place to meet with friends or for a special occasion. I probably wouldn’t bring my children here, so I’d save it for “grown-up only” meals out.

Excellent setting, ambience and interiors; super friendly, professional and capable staff; great awareness of allergens and gluten free options. Took care of details such as accessibility without a fuss. 10/10
