The Acre in Fenland - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Great pub off the main road it’s a green king pub but has a nice atmosphere welcoming people visitors and families- great pizza and drinks of all kinds good decor and furnishings makes for a good place to eat drink or pass through

Amazing pub, fantastic service and tasty food at a reasonable price ! We were a party of 6 and we were all very happy with our meals and drinks !! Will definitely go again

Disappointed to have walked to this venue after hearing of its refit to find it closed at 1pm on a bank holiday. Advertised as open on google, tried to call they also Didn’t answer. Other customers also waiting a bit bemused

Visually, the pub is a striking departure from its previous incarnation, with a decor that is as bold and unique as the menu. The pub is dog-friendly, and the atmosphere is cozy and welcoming, making it an ideal spot for a casual night out or a relaxed gathering with friends. There’s a great selection of (handcrafted) cocktails, wines, and beers, catering to all tastes. Highly recommend the honey drizzled pizza and wishing the team every success in their endeavours. See you soon!

Amazing food and service! Nice atmosphere and good vibe.

Lovely pizza and great vibe. Service was very good too.

If I could give more stars I would. Lovely staff who are super attentive. Amazing food and overall a lovely atmosphere. We’ve come here 3 times since reopening and everytime it’s been pretty busy considering it’s a weekday. Children friendly which is great for families and the pizzas are unreal!

Friendly and prompt service. Well cooked food and reasonably priced.

Used to frequent the Acre years ago and it has of course changed over time. The current pub is more food orientated and they do it well.A good selection of food properly cooked.Had a few evening meals and sunday lunch over the last week or two and cannot fault anything.Give it a try.I did and was pleasantly surprised.Large outside seating garden popular with dog owners may be of interest to some.

Lovely pub. This was my 1st visit. Very small range of ciders so forced to drink what I don't like.

Please wow that is Fanta stick pkefd and tommorow tommorow the table and yesterday was really good drink enjoyed time her

No food. Run out of crisps. Bartender a bit not caring

Lovely place for a drink and staff are welcoming and friendly

What a great atmosphere here, the decor is very welcoming, and there is a great feel to it. More important, the food, fantastic. I had the steak and ale pie and it was delicious. I’ve come away thinking when I can go again!! It was a pleasure to go and the food was superb. Would definitely recommend again.

Just home from Sunday lunch lovely atmosphere and excellent lunch and very good value Will definitely recommend to friends and neighbours and when our family next visit we will be back

Comfy family and dog friendly pub in central March. The vegan veggie burger I had was delicious & after having that with chunky chips + a nice side salad, plus a nice pint of Guinness, couldn't have had a desert tbh. Quiet when I was on for a Friday, but none the worse for it. Be lovely on a sunnier day to have a bite to eat al fresco.

Best cooked roast & very good value 👌..there was another yorkie on the platter!! Absolutely delish 😋

We had a very nice lunch. We had excellent food with extremely good service. Very clean and friendly atmosphere. Overall a very pleasant visit. We were all very pleased.

Had the pleasure of a home cooked meal and the price was no more expensive than going in the cafe. Going to be a regular visitor

Good food and service and comfortable surroundings. Close to town centre.

Had a first date here, good food and drink in lovely surroundings.

Have eaten here lots of times, breakfast, lunch and dinner! Food is fantastic as is the service! Staff are so friendly and welcoming! Highly recommend

Another excellent meal, great service and staff very pleasant and helpful.

Great improvement with the new ownership. Food is home made, portions are huge and well priced. The veggie burger in particular has a lot to flavour. And best of all… real ale is back!

The food is absolutely outstanding! The home made stake and ale pie is to die for. The fireplace is lovely. We loved our visits and definitely will return. Thank you for the Team for their hard work ❤️

Only popped in for a soft drink

Refused service as the kitchen had just closed by minutes! It would help if their phone number was correct on the web - I had tried to call and spoke to a very nice old lady,who was definitely not The Acres. I ordered 2 drinks, and asked the server if the phone number was correct. She didn't know the number! Upon checking, we were a digit out but the number was the one from the web. I then asked if they were still a Greene King - a woman emerged and had heard my question - 'we're part of Greene King but I'm the proprietor'. Had I checked the website - FB - obvious eh?! Altogether her attitude stank - if she were an employee I could semi-understand as it's not uncommon to get the 'I don't give a stuff' attitude, but as proprietor I was somewhat shocked. At one point she was talking to her 2 servers. turned to me and to told me 'I'm in the kitchen', and turned away. In other words bugger off!. I wasn't even being pushy - merely a customer wanting a bit of service with a coupe of questions. This place has changed hand several times, been closed and has now re-opened. For us it WAS a nice place to end our dog walk. If she wishes to build a business I strongly recommend some customer service training. SHAME - the Griffen and Seven Stars will get our business. We only had a drink - she missed out on a lunch order due to her inflexibility. Build a business? - good luck! We won't be part of your customer base.

We found this place by accident….away from the busy town road beside the river , but still very close to town centre. So clean and modern with lots of outdoor seating in lovely enclosed garden. Inside was modern and welcoming with lots of comfortable seating and the food was lovely. My fish goujons came with salad and chips and my husband had pate with red onion chutney and bread. We didn’t have a dessert because we were full! Best of all dogs are welcome inside and out so we will be definitely going back especially if they start doing Sunday lunch ….loved it.

Went in there about 2:20 on Friday 8. There was a woman in front of me and asked if she could take a menu to which she was told yes. Anyway I got some drinks and also took a menu. Around 10 minutes later I went to the bar to order some food. While waiting the woman who was in front of me earlier also came up to order. When the barmaid came up and I asked to order some food. I was told They had stopped doing food. Why couldn’t they have said something when we took the menu? Just to add to it a few minutes later a member of staff came out with some food for themselves.

Decent pub in lovely surroundings. Good and staff on point. Great selection of beers wines and spirits.

Great to see some vegan options on the menu 😀

Came in today heard it has new management. Was busy and vibrant. Bank Holiday Sunday. Lovely and clean. Wine and ipa good. Very nice . This use to be my local in the 1980s so good to be back x

Such a gorgeous new refurb. Clean, fresh, warm and welcoming. Great food and friendly service. We all loved our meals and enjoyed sitting outdoors in the beer garden. We’ll be back!

Clasical pub in touwn centre. Bay just beer.

Visited for a meal. Slow service after ordering. Bangers & mash was disappointing. I doubt the mash had seen a potato... Cadbury Smash more like.

Terrible. Waiting around an hour for dinner for 3 people when pub was nearly empty and the rest customers there were not eating. Staff do not know why they are there and what to do - I wanted a small Peroni, she gave a gluten free, no idea why, starter came with main, inside was full of flies... just unbelievable. Wouldn't go again. My meal was not too bad though, however the rest cannot say the same.

Very nice pub, quick service. Would recommend for a quiet night with a few drinks

Great atmosphere, service & tasty cocktails

Great friendly service and lovely food

Great food (interesting burger bun), decent price and a relaxed atmosphere

We had excellent food and service good value all very pleased would definitely recommend. We will be back

First time here will definitely be back food was amazing , waitress staff very friendly in fact all the staff very friendly couldn't have done more very surprised to see how quiet it was on a Friday night. This is definitely one of those little hidden gems at the back of the main street brilliant food not one issue good prices as well. £135.50 for 5 of us 5 mains 3 desserts and 3 rounds of drinks couldn't have asked for more.

Chloe and Kirby's engagement party. Loved the friendly barmaids hair!

Ordered two meals. Short ribs with risotto and the 'chef's signature dish'....Hungarian Goulash. The short ribs were stone cold and were sent back to be warmed up. The signature dish was a bland, watery vegetable soup with a few bits of meat included. Not impressed.

Went in at lunchtime today, had a cheese burger and it was the best burger I’ve had in a long time! Huge burger, chips, onion rings, coleslaw & salad. Tasted great, amazing value, nice pub and friendly bar staff. Keep up the good work!

Lovely food great staff , went here on a Friday night no booking required

Looking for something different on our visit to March, quick look at Tripavisor and read some very useful reviews. Decided to give The Acre ago, tucked away behind the main drag next to the river. A warm welcome met use as with entered. Sat outside with our menus and found many interesting and varied choices. Two vegetarian meals and a lamb curry later very contented. Staff were great, atmosphere welcoming and very light and clean. Our first of many visits to come. Give it a try, it'll be worth it.

Lovely pub by the river friendly staff lovely outdoor seating area better than it was before a few years ago the current owners have done a lot of renovation work to make the pub a more appealing place to visit when in the town. Good central location near the town centre.

Nice place, recently renovated garden area

Beer was fine ..restaurant was closed

Good atmosphere and a top Baby Guiness

Quick drink at one of the new tables outside ! Very nice

Very pleasant visit and would recommend and call again. I do not visit March very often but later in the year I will head to the Acre restaurant.

Nice quiet location, plenty of outside courtyard and inside dining with tasty food having plenty of varied choices catering for all. Recommend

Lovely clean pub. Excellent outdoor areas

Nice atmosphere very friendly staff

Had a lovely meal here today to celebrate my friends birthday wonderful food great service friendly staff

Disappointed there were no starters or small plates

Wonderfull good staff will definately come again thankyou.

Lovely food, great service and beautiful sunshine in the garden. We will be back, thank you Laura x

Meals were good. Nice set up now. First time visited in a long time and much improved. Will happily return.

Great food! Big portions. Friendly staff !!

My husband and I walked into town on a sunny Friday, had a lovely spot in the window overlooking the river and people watching. The Staff were friendly and attentive. I had the pizza and there was a little wait which was explained to us as the chefwas making fresh dough, it wasn’t a long wait at all. My husband had the Italian job burger. Both of us throroughly enjoyed our meals, couldn’t fault anything. Would definitely recommend *****

When we go there the atmosphere was incredible and the staff were welcoming. We ordered our food and arrived quickly and well presented. Every mouthful was filled with flavour, and the plates were filled with everything you could ask for. The food was filling and so delicious. The best food I've ever had. Don't get me started on the desserts, all of them are homemade and incredible. The brownie melted in my mouth with the creamy ice-cream. I couldn't as fir better food and service.

I went to see a local band ... So It was very busy ... Lovely people and staff. The Acre is situated in a lovely spot by the river

We visited the acre on Sunday for the launch of their Sunday dinner! We both had roast beef and gammon and we was not disappointed😊 and the roast potatoes was just 😍 the service from the girls was super friendly and helpful 😊we will definitely be returning again soon! Would 100% recommend for a chilled Sunday with lovely food, lovely cocktails and beers on tap :)

Needs to get consistency with delivery. Ordered tempura prawns, unavailable, as was the lobster Thermidor. Have to say the team redeemed themselves with the risotto and Goulash, but disappointed me before with a starter of three small chipolatas and micro slices of apples chargrilled for £6.95 pricing like that’ll kill you as a business. Put some salad on the plate and more chipolatas. The service staff were helpful, a bit inexperienced, but attentive. Great location next to the canal, cut off from the high street, access through from the canal path, or a very narrow alley, so kerb side appeal is only notice from the canal side, we visited mid winter, but would see a great time being had from canal boats mooring up at night in summer. Back to food, the puds menu frankly, is boring, that said, the ice cream is stunning. We tested their ability to do calypso and Irish coffees, their lack of knowledge in their ability to make them was more than made up for in their desire to say yes and try to make it happen. It’s amazing what a smile can do. The outcome can be improved. Other Observations are: the acoustics need fixing, get hangings from the ceilings. Have a serious look at the menu please. It’s too short, mundane and a tad confused, or stay as a cocktail bar and stop serving food.

We visited the acre on Friday evening and ordered a meal for 4 one of the dishes they had run out of which we didn’t mind so ordered something else the food was delicious and after we had finished our meal they gave us all a free dessert for not having the dish we had ordered now that is what you call customer service well done the acre and we will definitely be going back.

Cant fault a singe thing at the Acre excellent food excellent service great value amazing looking venue👍will be back very soon.

A modern place for food and drink but personally it wasn't a proper pub.

Visited the acre tonight,6th November 2021,had not booked but was given a table,food order taken and served without to much wait,staff very helpful food excellent,well done, will definitely return.

Finom italokat szolgálnak fel. Tiszta a környezet, kutyabarát. Jól éreztük magunkat!

Wont bother again, been closed for months, then no food for even more months and now open, simple request to swap bread for for a few chips and the answer no but you can buy some extra, given i can’t eat the bread that sounds like great value. Anyway back to ye olde griffin that are friendly and flexible and better value! I will wait for the new owners before coming back.

Nice pub not much chiose in real ale Nice in the garden

A welcome surprise on Sunday, as there was a live musical duet. Popular classics and anthems performed as one played the guitar and the other sang.

Great place to meet up in the centre of town but quiet

I have now eaten here twice, and have to say it’s great to have food back at The Acre. I had the steak on both occasions and both times it was cooked perfectly. The chips were lovely and the sauce that was included in the meal, and not chargee seperately, complimented it really well . There is a really nice atmosphere in the pub with friendly staff. Would highly recommend it.

Really good atmosphere, live music and reasonably priced drink

Nice little pub, friendly staff and service usually good. A fair range of food available, the usual burgers etc, but has a specials board. 2 or 3 outside areas. Low ceilings and tiled floor can make this place a little noisy inside, but drinks good and inexpensive

Visited this pub today for lunch and we chose a selection of sides and starters to share and it was absolutely delicious.The Acre was lovely and clean and the staff were so friendly. Would definitely recommend 😀

Good food, friendly service, but waited a long time to order and to get our food.

Had the most lovely lunch at the Acre today. The staff were so lovely and the food was absolutely delicious 😋 Will definitely be coming back. Easily accessible for a wheelchair user.

my experience is terrible the meal tasted like raw beef the the atmosphere is eery and weird i dont recommend this place

Lovely friendly pub and nicest one in March. Very accomodating and covid secure and felt safe the whole time we were there. Lovely garden areas and a great ordering system at the table. Well worth a visit and we are going back on bank holiday weekend!

We had a lovely Covid secure meal this evening. Food freshly prepared as always and we were well looked after by attentive staff. The pub has sorted out it's processes for managing customers in this strange time but we couldn't fault it. Fajitas were excellent and the cannelloni was polished off without complaint.

Had a really good roast dinner yesterday and the service was excellent. Plenty of food and the gravy was unlimited. :)

Nice clean premises in a good location .

Lovely beer garden , average roast dinner on a sunday and plain menu but great staff

Good food, good value, good service. What more could you ask for?

Great service from Molly! Great selection of food. Had fajitas and chilli and both were superb. Great ambience,! Could have stayed there all day! Will definitely be back soon !

Easily the loveliest looking pub in March & the food was great, but the staff were extremely unwelcoming and covid precautions severely lacking. We had booked a table outside for lunch. As there was no-one at the door to welcome us or ask if we’d booked, we had to queue at the bar to find out where our table was. The queue ran all the way through the restaurant, within inches of other people eating. When we finally got shown to our table, the waitress said she’d be back shortly to take our order. 10 minutes later she re-appeared to say that she was sorry, but as we were sitting outside we’d need to line up at bar again to order. Why on earth the staff weren’t able to walk the extra metre to take the order of a table outside, which would’ve been safer for everyone, is not clear.Anyway, the food arrived 45 minutes later (by which time half of us were back in the queue for the third time waiting for another round of drinks) and it was delicious, but I thought the recommendation was to minimise the amount of time spent at the bar / in close proximity to other people rather than encourage it.They were also very reluctant to swap the watered-down beer they’d poured us instead of a shandy for an actual shandy, despite agreeing that it ‘didn’t look right’. Again, yet more unnecessary queuing! Hopefully we just caught them on a bad day.

Lunch today for 3, food was fantastic across the board and well organised Covid wise too,very clean and tables well spaced.

One of the treasures of March, lovely atmosphere and wonderful cooking

Have been to the Acre several times. Food is always quite good, especially the Sunday carvery. Steaks are also good.

Absolutely lovely Sunday lunch, choice of 4 different meats, beef, pork, turkey and gammon, of the 3 that myself and wife had all were perfectly cooked, the choices of the fresh vegetables were in abundance, very professional service, within minutes of starting the meal the waitress was at the table checking everything was OK.Friendly atmosphere professional staff, and reasonable prices. Will be back.

Went for a meal on a Saturday night, was told there was a 25 minute wait for food which was ok with us but it was 40 minutes before any food was brought out. They brought one meal out and we waited a good 10 minutes for a everyone else's meal, when they did arrive, the lasagne was cold so we went it back to be reheated, unfortunately they also reheated the salad on the plate too! so when it came back everything was very hot including the plate and salad! It was not a pleasant meal.

The Acre is a wonderful Restaurant/Public House located next to The River nene in March, an idyllic location, but it gets better. The decor is lovely with a log burner fire that makes it warm & cosy, the style is fit for all tastes & varied. The menu is superb plus daily specials, the quality of the food is marvellous, generous portions, everything from lite snacks to full 3 course meals fit for a King. The icing on the cake is the family staff, who are so welcomining, friendly & greet you like dear friends, giving the whole experience a wonderful relaxing atmosphere to meet with friends, a pop in for a drink, coffee, snacks or the choice of a very full menu. The food looks & tastes marvelous & the service is second to none. If you have never visited The Acre, please do so, it fits all tastes, all age groups, a truly wonderful experience. Wish we had visited sooner, but we are now regular. Danny & Jean

Went in For lunch this Friday just gone.Lovely roaring fire was very welcome as it was coldI had the stacking burger which was huge..what looked like a hand made hamburger with salad leaves and tomatoHuge thick whole mushroom double bacon and a fried egg on top..plus beer battered onion rings and chipsWas wonderful, thoroughly enjoyed it Husband had, his favourite stake and ale pie chips and peas I finished off with a huge square of sticky roofs sponge and custard Sooo good, always love the food here, staff are always attentive and fab Never disappointed

A suitable British pub with high standard of food, and popular with local people. Wide choice for good luncheon menu

Excellent lunch which suited all of us ; steak eaters, vegan, fish lovers etc Great surroundings and the staff are so friendly
