We have been here a few times when visiting family. It is fantastic for those with a gluten intolerance/coeliac disease as they truly understand about what is required. The portions are extremely generous and the food is delicious. There are good beers available and the service is efficient and friendly. Would highly recommend.

We went here under the recommendation of some friends who live close to this pub . ^ of us had Sunday lunch, the ladies all had the smaller portion option whilst us chaps the larger option . The food was great , real vegetables ( not frozen ) , i had cauli , carrots , broccolli and parsnips and roast beef . Another had chicken and another roast lamb. The food was great and very good value , washed down with some adnams . Plenty of parking but the place was so full we parked on the road outside , but perfectly safe. I would book if you go as the pub gets very busy

I have been a spasmodic regular here for over 30 years! David and Co have consistently offered extremely good value for money! The fact that they offer small portions for most dishes tells you how large the normal portions are! Today 6th March l decided to have the Liver & Bacon option! As it has always been one of my favourite dishes l feel able to comment/ criticise! I have to say that the only word to satisfactorily explain the dish is “ exceptional”! I have yet to speak to anyone who has had a bad experience at A.Wells! There were 5 of us in the party having varying dishes! All were very pleased! Staff were polite and very helpful! All in all a very pleasing experience we intend to repeat quite soon! 😃👍

Excellent Sunday dinner, several meat choices plus vegetarian option, very reasonable price and the smaller portion option is an excellent idea. Good service

This is one of the few eateries in Peterborough that provides a proper home-cooked Sunday roast for a reasonable price. There were 5 choices of roast dinner, including a vegetarian choice. My roast shredded pork was tasty and fulsome, with a plate of al dente veg. Unfortunately the cracking was so hard I couldn't bite it, the soft roast potatoes could have done with another half-an-hour in the oven instead. A fab, fab place to eat Sunday dinner.

We generally rave about this pub but our experience on the 29/10 was poor. We ordered our food at 12.45 from a delightful lady at the bar and sat at table 2. We seemed to be waiting for quite a long time having also not been given cutlery and around 1.25pm, my wife caught the chef wandering past our table and asked genially, if we had been forgotten. The chef was a tad direct and said they were busy and we were in the system? A few minutes later cutlery arrived and about 10 minutes later, roughly about an hour after we sat down, the lunch came. Ironically, the people that sat at the table behind 15 minutes before us, received their lunch about 5 minutes after us, a total of 20 minutes from order to table as did some other tables. This I could tolerate but my wife and my lamb was tepid, the fat cold on the top and not to the usual high standard of this pub. We did not mention it, as frankly we needed to be gone as we drive a distance to eat here and had another prior engagement later in the afternoon, plus felt a little uncomfortable to raise it, bearing in mind prior response. I know this is a busy business and you generally do a great job but it is easy to slip a degree, where customers simply don't come back which is a shame.

Great food and pleasant atmosphere. One of the best dishes that I have enjoyed during my stay in the UK. Our friends raved on their dishes. We were very full at the end. Excellent service. Our table was ready when we arrived and food served shortly after we ordered. We'll be back

We rocked-up on a busy Sunday lunch time, the place was packed wall to wall, so service was slow. But the food here is well worth waiting for, even during bust times. My steak and ale pie was massive, succulent and cooked to perfection. Others on the table reported their meat and vegetarian roasts equally tasty. The gravy boats just need to be a lot deeper. We were just too full for puddings. Full marks AW for continuing to serve the local community in this brilliant fashion.

Visited as we were staying in the area. Could not fault the food it was delicious. However, the welcome and service were terrible. We arrived, and the girl behind the bar told us our table number and said she would be over in a second to take our drinks order. This never happened, and it was a good 15 minutes before someone came to the table. There was a man behind the bar who we assumed was the manager. He didn't acknowledge or welcome us. The waiting staff looked scruffy and lacked any customer skills. The restaurant had zero atmosphere. Would not recommend. If the manager sees this review, you need to invest in staff training and maybe have a dress code for the staff.

Booked to have Sunday lunch here. We had lamb and beef, both came with a selection of vegetables and Yorkshire pudding. We opted for the regular size which was more than enough. Desserts crumble and custard, Meringue with toffee ice cream. You can also choose off the main menu. lovely traditional pub food and excellent service. Definitely pre book!

My husband and I agree wholeheartedly with 363hilaryd comments as we were with them on this occasion. I won't go over the points already made but would add that some staff training is clearly needed across the board, from the man in chef whites who 'greeted' us so rudely to the young waitress who was very abrupt. It is worth mentioning that the more mature waitress was very pleasant. Maybe she could lead the staff training?

On arriving in the car park, we were immediately asked, in an abrupt manner, to move our car. Having checked that the pub was dog friendly, we were then told we couldn't use the nearest door with our dog but to go round the front. No sign telling us which door to use. After ordering drinks we asked for a menu - twice. Eventually we were given menus and ordered our meals. The food was good. On finishing our main courses the waitress collected our plates and asked us if we would like desserts. We decided what we would like and went to the bar to order. We were then informed that we could not have desserts or coffee as the kitchen was closed!! Having been offered desserts we were disappointed to be told this was not possible. The outside sign states 'A friendly pub'. On today's experience we cannot agree with this.

First visit inside a Pub since last summer ... and what a treat!Service was warm and welcoming. The place was full but there were enough servers on to cope. They offered a full menu and a selection of Sunday roasts. Most of our table went for the roasts but I want steak & ale pie, an old favour here. I wasn't disappointed ... a plate full of thick meat filled pie accompanied by perfect chips and crunchy veg. Delicious!Prices are very reasonable and service was attentive. THANK YOU for a great return to public dinning. I know you've done a lot for the committee during lockdown so best of luck getting your business back into gear, you thoroughly deserve it.

I went there last week with my partner and our friend for the Sunday roast and it was lovely! I really enjoyed the rump steak, my partner ordered the nut roast and she loved it - while our friend got the stuffed chicken breast which went down easy. Large portions, leaving anyone stuffed afterwards! We chose to order through the Round app, and that was easy to navigate and use. We will be back hopefully sometime soon, I highly recommend a visit if you're interested!

We had a wonderful meal, beautifully cooked and large portions. The service was excellent and all the COVID rules were followed.

We visited this pub as we hadn’t been there in quite a few years. Service was excellent and very quick with both the drinks and food. We just had a mains and pudding and found the mains to be average, but the puddings were excellent. The downside we experienced was that the burger that was ordered was a bit greasy and within a cheap bun. The place is clean and the serving staff were very polite at all times.

Firstly I was told when I called to book that we would be seated outside but undercover which was good as I don't like sitting in the sun. When we arrived we were sat outside and told the tables undercover were already reserved. When a waitress finally reappeared to take our drinks order we had a 40 minute wait to receive our drinks. Had to chase up twice. After another long wait our food arrived and it was really good. Took ages for waitress to come to clear table but when she did I asked if deserts were going to take as long as everything else did. She advised no and said she'd be right back to take our order. After another 25 minute wait we gave up and had to go into the bar to pay our bill as no one came back. The owner was behind the bar and was very rude when we said that things weren't up to scratch. We got no apology whatsoever. The restaurant wasn't even at half capacity. I understand they may be short staffed but when customers around us were getting served quicker when they had arrived after us just simply isn't on. Those people weren't ordering on the app either, just had a different waitress.

The food was ok, nothing special but the service we received was awful. The poor waitresses are running around trying to wait on all the tables inside and out but the two men behind the bar were doing nothing and quite rude. The phone was constantly ringing and neither of them could be bothered to answer it and we had to ask twice to pay the bill as they ignored our first request. I had garlic mushrooms to start which were not nice. The cream was more like water and the mushrooms were whole which made them difficult to eat with just a spoon and tasteless. Would definitely not rush back

We were coming past in the car after a bike ride in the area and were very wary about stopping as we have been shielding but we often stop here when passing..I asked if we had to book a table to have a drink and the young waitress (masked) said she would ask. She returned and pointed us to a table on the patio safely away from the next table. Our order was taken again by a masked young lady. The drinks were delivered on a tray and we were asked to take our own drinks. All very safe.There is signage up everywhere, a routed system in (though we didn't go inside) and hand sanitiser available. We only had a drink so we couldn't say anything about the food etc.I have only been in 1 shop so far but felt safer sitting here to have a drink!Well done, you are to be commended for following the guidelines properly.

11 of us from our group visited for our monthly Sunday lunch, which was in the conservatory area. We ordered a variety of different dishes for main course and for our desserts, everything was served to perfection, highly recommended.

Visited on many occasions, while I find the food exceptional they need to change the menu. It’s become monotonous.

Last Sunday we decided to go back to Charles wells pub for Sunday lunch having booked a table to make sure of a place. We sat near the fireplace as it was a chilly day. We pick the shredded pork and veg with crackling and gravy, and apple sauce.Trevor had an non alchol larger and I had a pot of tea. The food was delicious and plenty of veg and extra gravy.We travelled back via A1 and to Royston and called in at Morrisons for some shopping.It was an enjoyable day out. the toilets are nice and clean down a passageway might be a little small for wheelchair users.

12 of us met up here for a meal to celebrate a 60th birthday.The service was excellent with friendly staff (slight mishap with both beer & gravy being spilled over our friend !) The meals were very good both in quality ,quantity and price and we would definitely return here again.

I was part of a group of 12 cyclists who dropped in here with no notice one lunchtime. We were made very welcome. The open fire made the bar lovely and warm on a chilly day. A wide variety of food was produced very quickly and was enjoyed by all. Good value for money.

Have been here many times, the food is basic but very nice and you can have smaller portions which is excellent. But last night the service was awful, we were shown to our table ( which was not the best, in the conservatory, this time of year is not the warmest ) given menus and asked for drinks which took ages to arrive, had starters then main courses the tall guy with the dark hair took our plates then asked if we wanted dessert menu , yes please, could we order more drinks , he said he would come back. That was the last we saw of him or anybody else , l went up to pay the bill and found we were overcharged for what we had.I spoke to the lady behind the bar about the problems and she said she would speak to the person in charge , they lost out on a round of drinks , dessert and coffee. I just hope the owners or managers get to hear of the staff problems.

We booked this pub because it was close to the village where we were to attend a funeral. Although it was a Monday the car park was already filling up at 12 noon. This is clearly a popular pub with local people.

After passing the pub several months ago,we managed to book a table and eat there today. We picked the roast Pork with roast potatoes, new potatoes,carrots, cauliflour,and brocolli with gravy and crackling,and apple sauce(plenty of gravy just ask for more) we had a latte for Trevor and a hot chocolate with whipped cream. after a short wait our lunch arrived What a plate full, the taste of the pork was excellent, the yorkshire pud huge but delicious what a tasty meal. the pub is improving its access for disabled users there are two disabled places in the carpark and the are putting a ramp towards the toilets it is difficult in such a old listed pub . we will be back again soon.

Pleasant staff. Excellent food. Nice surroundings. Some of the portions are large so I asked for the burger without the bun. Best chips I have ever had.

Popped in for an evening meal with relatives as it is their local. Was recommended the Steak and Ale Pie and was not disappointed. The pie (£12:50) was chock full of tender, succulent steak and the chips were excellent.

Our first visit to this pub today and what a little treasure. We were taken by friends who eat here regularly and I can see why.

Good food, short crust pastry on the pie (and it's a real pie - not just a top that's been added after the meat has been blasted in the microwave), and the chips are worth going there for.
