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.

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

Totally delicious and super service at Sole & Duck. I had never heard of this restaurant but was taken by my daughter and son in law for lunch. It looks like a very old pub that’s now a restaurant. Food was a mixture of different Asian classics fused with pub classics. So instead of a beef burger I ordered a Crispy Hoisin Duck Burger that was fantastic. Came with slaw and chips like a classic pub burger but way more interesting as a generous amount slab of Chinese duck and crispy duck skin plus a thick Smokey bacon that went so well with it. I had a tuna tataki to start that was pretty and delicate with a crunchy pepper crust served with micro greens and a dipping bowl with a light fragrant soy rice wine mix. The others tried Korean chicken starter with a sticky glorious sauce and the pork belly or lamb mains which didn’t have Asian twists but were full flavoured and good (not overwhelming) portions. Choice of wines by the glass by the way are great but at the higher end of the spectrum - I was the only one drinking wine which was probably a good thing. Good amount of parking at the back of the restaurant.

I attempted to have dinner last night. Steak really expensive, at 39 and still have to pay extra if want vegetables. Steak sauce only one on offer is peppercorn, which is great if not allergic to cracked pepper. WaIter was asked, if any other type sauces, but only option offered was, we just leave it off, expensive dish to miss one element without having alternative in its place. The gentleman who showed me to my seat, did not want to acknowledge me after that at all. The next young waiter offered me the allergy menu (has more ingedients highlighted - great idea). After that I felt totally ignored. Even the manager kept walking past like I was invisible. So as having just tap water, I put my coat back on, which didnt attract attention, surprisingly, as it got caught on the back of my chair, I was flapping around, not elegant by any means. I got up, still unchallenged and left. Must say they did have other customers of two or more turning up. Table for one, would not earn them much, maybe why I was ignored. Very expensive, limited choices or wiggle room. Left very disappointed. Tip : when someone eats alone, they still need to feel special and seen ! One positive; Parking nearby, diasbled entrance, great addition.

Visited here for the first time with a friend will NEVER go again was greeted by the manager who showed us to our table and told us Max would be looking after us for the evening. I ordered prawns In garlic butter when they arrived they were swimming in a very dark brown sauce that was pretty off putting with a piece of sour dough bread. I had duck breast which was served with some sort of orange puree and cavolo nero. I sent it back as it was stone cold the manager apologised and said would cook fresh one, he returned less than 5 mins later, I took one look at it and said to my friend I can't cut this, it is like rubber!! after sawing away at it I finally managed to cut it in half and it was RAW all the way through I felt physically SICK.I did not want to have anything else. The only good thing about this place was the waiter Max who was really friendly. The manager needs to have serious words with the chefs luckily I didn't eat any of the RAW duck otherwise I would have definately had serious food poisoning tomorrow. All I can say is I won't EVER be going back there again

It was an absolutely superb meal, in a lovely restaurant with great ambience & impeccable service by lovely staff, who were attentive but not intrusive. I couldn’t fault anything about it. When booking online, you can state if it’s a special occasion & when my dessert arrived it was on a long plate with Happy Birthday written beautifully in chocolate next to the dessert - the perfect little personal touch. The melt in your mouth fillet steak & very tasty duck burger were perfect. The comfortable seating (important for me as I have arthritis) & large parking area at the back are a great bonus. A little on the higher price side but absolutely worth every penny & will definitely be going again.

Prawns in garlic with sour bread in olive oil, delicious, main beef pink inside and outer done well. Beautifully presented with thin Yorkshire pudding and vegs. Wife had pork belly again very good. She commented that thin strips had equal balance of meat and fat and would have preferred more meat. Sweets again excellent. Two courses and drinks with gratuity came to £98.This will be my go-to-place when entertaining or taking my wife for treat.

Eating at this superb, elegant fine dining restaurant is a joy. The food is taken to another level - and the whole experience is delightful. The menu is fairly limited - because all the dishes are cooked fresh to order - but they are very carefully chosen, to use seasonal ingredients. Even so, there is plenty to choose from. The fish dishes are really delicious, as well as other choices of steak, lamb, pork, chicken, pasta and vegetarian. All finished off with indulgent freshly made desserts. Love it.

First time visiting Sole & Duck, and it definitely wouldn't be the last time. Service was absolutely fantastic. Unfortunately I didn't get the name of the man who looked after us, but he was fantastic. The food was simply perfect, the size of the portions was very generous also. I feel it is very very very rare to find a place that has no flaws, but the Sole & Duck has hit the nail on the head. A real gem if a restaurant, keep it up!

Best place for dinner around Cambridge. You don't need to jam into the busy city centre and still get fantastic food and service. Very friendly staffs and cozy atmosphere. We went as a big group of 10 and everyone enjoy it very much.

Sole & Duck is one of my favourite places to eat in Cambridge. The food has always been beautifully constructed, with friendly service and a really comfortable atmosphere. An annoying issue is that, on several occasions, the vegetarian option has been delicious but with barely any sources of protein, so they end up really unsatisfying. In the worst case, the vegan roast simply replaced very large meat portions with "more cabbage", and for the same high price. The menu changes often so this might not always be the case, but I'd love to see the same care applied to the nutrition as the rest of the experience. Will definitely go back but not without carefully scrutinising the menu for good options first!

Not the best restaurant considering the price however it does have good interior and vibe. Soup, garlic prawn and Korean chicken were good choices for appetisers. Although seafood boil and duck were disappointing. The seafood boil was special menu of the day but it was full of muscles as you can see instead of scallops or other ingredients so was not happy with the quality. Duck was bit undercooked but sauce was good, sweet potato mash was very nice too however not sure about the deep fried duck ball. Black cod was the only thing that impressed bc and worth do preorder as the texture is very soft yet tender and well glazed. Service was not too bad but one of the staffs are very young and quite inexperienced. Literally don’t know how to open the wine bottle and never refill the glass for us. Hope the quality of the food will be improved for the price.

Wonderful Sunday roast here today with my partner - can’t fault it. Charming, friendly staff and great food - will be back to try the evening menu next time we’re in Cambridge!

Fantastic food, excellent service and elegant atmosphere. I went for a late Sunday lunch and had a wonderful experience. No detail was too much for the staff. The server, Ray was very personable, welcoming, always smiling and provided excellent recommendations. The set menu was complete with wine pairings for each dish and there was also an extensive drinks menu to go with it. Food is sourced locally and a wonderful taste of the best of what Britain has to offer. Dessert is top notch and portions are wonderfully generous. Can’t wait to go back! Thank you!

As an old member I was taken aback to find that so much of the building has been turned over to a restaurant. With the main building closed for a private event (with no warning on their website), there was nowhere for members to go outside of the restaurant. Very disappointing.

I popped in for what was supposed to be a quick coffee The staff were so welcoming, it was such a cozy place I had a flat white, the sausage roll and cake Followed by one last cappuccino The staff and food are fantastic, I was so impressed to learn all the food/cake is made in house Will definitely visit again and highly recommend as it’s bigger inside than it first appears

Cambridge's premier pizza pub! Definitely better than your average pub pizza at food prices.

We were looking for an overnight near Cambridge and came across the Blackhorse in Swaffham. We also had diner that was fresh fish and well cooked.
