The Bridge in South Cambridgeshire

There were 5 adults, we were shown to our table and Charlotte served us. A friendly welcome and took our order, she also checked on whether we had everything, the mesl was exceptionally tasty and well presented. Was patient when paying the bill as I was fortunate to have a discount code and helped me with finding it for me using my phone. Would certainly recommend this eatery.

Great food, really lovely pub with both great indoors and outdoor seating

Lots of tables outside, lots of tables inside. Can’t serve you food on these or those. Computer says no. 2h wait. Goodbye. Asked another person, yes please sit down. :D Displeasing experience.

Food was great. charlotte, Tavis, chole, scarlett. Was extremely helpful all round great experience.

Came for a birthday meal for my dad's 60th birthday and scarlett,charlotte, Tavis and chloe have been amazing and very accommodating towards our request. Will deffo come again and suggest to friends 🧡

Came here yesterday for a meal, greeted at the door which was great and even asked about allergies (we love), but sadly the service was incredibly slow. Staff were not the most friendly either, quite blunt I would say.

Roast was cold when brought out, very little meat in the Trio of meat, roast potatoes where very dry on the inside and tasted a bit stale, almost inedible, would have liked more vegetables and had to ask for more gravy. Very disappointed with the food this time. ☹️

The poorest and mostly pathetic service I have ever received from a so called restaurant

Nice pub with good views of the river, service bit slow and food was a bit disappointing.

Great drink, atmosphere and friendly owner (Seyf)

Seyf is absolutely brilliant, amazing food, best summer pub to go to by the river

Service and food was perfect, thank you

Excellent, good and service very good.

Beautiful location. Went for a walk by the river first. Very nice inside the pub. Really good food, decent service and a nice atmosphere. Well priced too.

Lovely, reasonably priced food. A notch up from the usual pub grub. Attentive, polite but not intrusive young waiting staff. Perfect halfway meeting point for my folks (from the Midlands) and me (from the east coast).

Food was amazing, great service and Seyf look after our table so well very attentive on our needs. Pricing is reasonable, great ambiance and highly recommended.

Great riverside pub with good food and drinks and friendly staff. Dog friendly in the garden at the back.

Perfect place to meet up with friends. Lovely location and good reasonably priced food.

Good food, and service. We were meeting friends for a catch up, and staff were very kind in not hassling us to leave as soon as we'd finished our meal allowing us to stay and chat.

5* All round, the food was amazing, and imparticular there was 2 waitresses who were very helpful, Abi & saskia Definitely reccomend

Best place I've visited in ages service bestvive had food glorious atmosphere wonderful thoroughly recommend it

Really nice service and environment for a relaxing Sunday dinner.

Good food and service, sadly spolit by another tables guests constant foul language.

Lovely pub , but drinks are over priced ( pint of cider and a J20 ) was £9.95! Not sure if it was a mistake and we were overcharged or not . Why don't pubs display prices of drinks??

Had really nice lunches there recently, great menu with lots of options, definitely more than just "standard pub food", lots of starters and specials and 2/3 course offers, very tasty too. Really helpful & friendly staff who make you feel welcome. Nice location/cosy place! Can't wait to sit outside next to the river this summer!

Has a delicious lamb shank cottage pie, pricey but worth it. Service extremely good, staff friendly.

Lovely location by the river! Very homely inside! Nice friendly staff especially Seyf who looked after us all and was efficient funny and knowledgeable about the menu! We enjoyed our experience that much that we booked again for Mother’s Day! Thank you to the bridge for finishing off my wife’s Birthday in a special way! The only annoying thing we found was us, we forgot to take pictures of all the lovely food we had!🙄

Precioso pub de aspecto desde el exterior y acogedor en el interior también. Asientos bien espaciados. Personal amable. Preciosa comida sabrosa, gran selección de menú.

Nice atmosphere. Nice ambiance. Food slightly undercooked, spoke to manager, very helpful and was rectified. Would be back again. Very polite staff!

¡Gracias desde el fondo de mi corazón por hacer que el asado dominical de hoy sea especial para mí, mi hija, mi esposo y mi nervioso Rescue JRT! La carne asada, Divina, Los Asados, Yorkies y Vegetales tan perfecto. Tu cerveza de barril, tan rara, delectable. Su amable y servicial personal atento realmente se pasó en el cuidado de nosotros! En palabras de Arnie, , , , , , , , ¡Volveré! ¡Atraídos por la posibilidad de otro asado dominical Dining Heaven!

Thank You for making my Sunday Roast, with my Daughter & Husband & my elderly Rescue JRT SO Very Memorable! The Roast Beef Sublime, Yorkies & Roasties Perfect. The Real Ale Classic!!! Very Best Sunday for Absolutely Ages!! Defo Will Return, Soonest! Thank You All So Much!!!!

Arrived unannounced, and food wasn't going to be able to be served until 1800 so not able to comment on food and service. Nice location though.

Excellent food, served promptly. This pub has a lovely atmosphere, staff were very friendly, especially our waitress Abi who was attentive and helpful. We have previously been for a roast which was delicious so came back for a week night to try other dishes. The burgers are very tasty. Would definitely recommend.

Food & service was great last weekend. Dog friendly. And the Duck burger is a game changer.

Cálido dentro del edificio, y un amable miembro del personal de bienvenida. Ambos elegimos del menú de la noche de quemaduras (28 € por 4 platos) Los 4 platos estaban muy bien presentados y deliciosos. El personal estuvo atento durante todo el día. Una velada muy agradable y agradable.

La excusa para venir a almorzar fue traer 116 tarrinas de plástico para la iniciativa Tubs 2 pubs, pero la comida fue la principal atracción. Estábamos sentados en una mesa cómoda y dar menús y desde allí el servicio fue impecable. La comida era excelente, en particular mi pastel de caña de cordero.

I go to The bridge every other week and it is lovely. I love the food and the atmosphere. There are always special offers and a huge variety on the main and special menu to pick from every time I go. My last dining experience was wonderful. I had the fish and chips and my friend had the steak and ale pie, both meals were exceptional.

we han't booked and the restaurant was full but the manager sorted us with a coffee in the bar area until a table was available which only took 20 minutes. the service was prompt and with a smile and accommodated all of our chages to the menu for our tastes. Always amazing food.

Good well cooked food. very good service.and friendly service in a lovely atmosphere.the beer was good as well.many thanks

Our server Joseph was very attentive, efficient, and friendly. It all made for a very pleasant evening.

Great food, comfortable environment, staff were fabulous

We received a warm welcome as soon as we arrived. Service was excellent, friendly staff, Sunday lunch meal portions were generous and tasty. Thank you Joseph and JP.

Food wos very nice an service very good an the stuff wos good to

We always get a great meal here. Took mum for lunch yesterday, was not too busy food good and service as usual spot on .

Lovely place to stop off for a drink or something to eat! We were served by Seyf, who is always friendly, chatty, and happy to serve us! Also, the rest of the staff are always friendly

Visited The Bridge with my family for a Sunday roast. Food was incredible, as was the service. Would definitely recommend

Just loved all about our visit Staff fantastic as well as service brilliant ,ambience and deco with the wood fire going was brilliant , Let’s not forget the food Sunday Roast one of the best I’ve had for a longtime (disappointing that cauliflower cheese has to be paid for separate and only comes in a ramekin but know for next time ) Would highly recommend you won’t be disappointed 👍👍

We had a lovely meal there Saturday night .we always enjoy the bridge .lovely staff

This is a real hidden gem in the Cambridgeshire area Waterbeach! The place is right on the river. Food was fantastic! Service outstanding and great festive atmosphere!

As soon as we walked through the door we were made to feel welcome. The waiter took a birthday cake to be brought out later without a fuss. Ordering was easy and came in good time. A good balance was struck between meeting our needs without being intrusive. The food was lovely.

Generally an enjoyable experience. We were met with a very friendly and warm welcome. Food was very good, choice of drinks suited our party well and waiting staff were friendly and polite. The only negative was that the time between ordering and receiving our main courses was quite a long period (20mins approx,) but that didn't spoil the evening in any way. Certainly will consider returning

A nice venue poor food. I was very disappointed with my lunch. I I chose a Christmas special set menu the starter was ok, the actual meal itself was poor, potatoes were not roasted properly and the veg was soggy from sitting around for too long. As it was a birthday treat it was spoilt. Would not recommend.

I often dine at The Bridge with my partner and we bring our dog along too. Generous portions of tasty food mean we are always satisfied after a meal. Seyf is a lovely and attentive waiter, which really adds to the experience.

Good service and food as usual, staff are all welcoming and helpful, especially the lovely Seyf! They’ve made a lovely Christmas atmosphere as well, the fire really sets it off and makes it cosy

Seyf was our host and he looked after us all splendidly! The food and drink were all absolutely delightful, would highly recommend!

Food was very nice. The atmosphere was lovely and the waiter Sefe was adorable! He made our experience special with his dry sense of humor and the fact he couldn't do enough for us.

I took my son for breakfast with Santa, the price was reasonable for what we received and the staff were so friendly! Santa was patient and took his time with my little boy, and the breakfast came quickly and was delicious!

Great place for a meal, great service nothing was to much for them drinks were a little dear

Seyf was very welcoming and a great host for the evening.

This was our first time to try this pub. Husband and I came in for burgers as we were around the area to donate at a nearby charity shop. We were received with a slightly awkward welcome. Asked if we have booked a table and I said "no sorry we didn't, we just took our chance as we were around the area". Husband by reflex asked in a nice way if they were fully booked as we've noticed the tables were set up like they were booked. Person awkwardly tried to explain himself why he asked if we were booked etc.... it was a little long and awkward but that's ok. We understand that some people may have trouble with social communication and can misinterpret things. Not good if you're tasked to welcome customers though. Ok, food service was good. 2 young ladies on the floor were great, polite and attentive. As we were about to leave, we didn't want to bother the servers to come and bring the bill so we just went to the bar and I asked if we could pay there. At this point the woman at the bar was just chatting with another server and not busy at all. She proceeded to take the payment coldly (again not a big deal!) while I was paying, she just left and proceeded to chat with the person. Didn't ask me if I needed receipt or even acknowledge me, she just left so I wasn't sure if the payment went through. It was very strange and frankly, rude behaviour. I worked in a hospitality industry when I was young and I wouldn't treat costumers like that. I would suggest you train your staff and not be rude because we were thinking of recommending this place to friends but not anymore. Hospitality and good dining experience is as important as serving good food!

Very disappointed this time round. Had to send my main back as the sprouts were like bullets. It was replaced with dryish cabbage. The fish wrapped in bacon was very dry. Not an enjoyable meal. First time I have had an issue with food here.

Very friendly staff, excellent service, and delicious food at very reasonable prices!

Excellent service and food for our evening meal

A Chef & Brewer hidden gem of a restaurant pub on the banks of the river Cam. Excellent quality food served hot, with great service.

Ruff food shame really nice pub area as a local is a shame but the food is cheap old pub grub ruff really 🤢

Avoid the Fireplace Recently I am writing reviews of different Cambridge pubs. Rating might be adjusted after the journey. The first bite was the pie, the second bite was the mashed potato. The pie was very salty. That made the mashed potato side taste bland. The dish lost its balance. The burger and fries were okay, at least both were hot. The restaurant started the fireplace while we were half way of the dessert. The environment became so smoky that the surrounding new customers requested for other tables. The smoke made my nose and eyes uncomfortable. Especially my eyes, had to return home early to wash my eyes. I have no idea why and when the restaurant would start the fireplace. All I can suggest is, avoid sitting near the fireplace before it's too late for you to change your table like we did. Who knows, maybe it's tactics that make everyone leave before busy dinner hours? The restaurant was not cheap compared to the ones in the town centre.

I came into the pub with my friends I had the gammon it was delicious. Charlotte looked after us well and we can’t wait to come back

Lovely meal as always at the Bridge. Very welcoming, relaxed atmosphere and attentive staff. Food is delicious. Alex our waiter was fantastic. Highly recommended visiting The Bridge!

Lovely evening meal served by polite attentive staff in a great relaxed atmosphere. The bridge location on the riverside is perfect and the open fire was a great welcome on a cold evening. Alex our waiter was very attentive.

Good, food, well priced with a super efficient and friendly staff, “perfect”

Went into the pub for tea and had a lovely time with friends and family had Charlotte as our waitress and made it feel comfortable and got everything correct would definitely go again

great food and service lovely attentive waitress Zella with a sense of humour enjoyable experience !

We ordered the soup and felt it was a long wait but were surprised after waiting 40 minutes that they arrived with our mains! We gave up on the soup but didn't really receive an explanation or apology 😒 Revisited today and much improved efficiency tasty mushroom starter and very nice sea bass dish

Amazing Sunday roast! Would highly recommend 🙂

A very friendly, welcoming pub. We have been several times for a meal and are always greeted warmly. We were served by Seyf who was very attentive and couldn’t do enough for us, he clearly takes pride in his job! The food and drink choices are really varied, we were very pleased with all our meals, delicious !

Reduced menu on a Sunday but still a good selection. The steak was excellent and - even though I'm not a big chip fan - they were great too. Portion size was good, not too much and very well presented. Attentive service as well and I was very happy to leave a tip at the end.

Lovely roast dinner,food was very quickly brought out

The worst fish pie possible. Warmed up in the microwave lacking in fish. Mostly sauce and potatoes and a very small portion for almost £20. Fish and chips for me. Fish was okay but frozen chips were only just warm. Would not go back

2 roast meals were ordered, and a fish and chips . The fish I'm told was really good. My roast was cold, and when brought to the attention of the server, I was told we can heat it up. So it was nuked in the microwave. Which is not the best solution. The other roast, the beef, was luke warm, and he didn't want it warmed in the microwave, so he didn't mention this. I would return, but I wouldn't have the roast . Had it been hot, it would have been a lovely meal at a good price.

I highly recommend The Bridge, probably one of the nicest pubs I've ever been to, the staff are very friendly and accommodating, food is varied and great, it's never too busy and the overall feel of the place is very welcoming and relaxing. It's also in a lovely location so many walks and things to see

Went for a roast had a lovely time. Joseph was a great waiter and very polite boy.

Lovely food as usual and really friendly staff - served by Izzie who was very helpful and friendly. Went for a roast which was really nice.

Birthday Meal with family.excellent food and service by a mother and daughter team . so refreshing to come into a establishment that is on the ball from start to finish. highly recommend The Bridge

Wonderful pub with amazing food! The staff was knowledgeable and friendly.

Beautiful place. Food was absolutely amazing. I'd recommend the lamb shank Shepard's pie. Staff was so kind helpful and respectful

We had a delicious lunch, we were warmly welcomed, Seyf , Scarlett and Lily were very friendly, professional and looked after us well, thank you, Jacqueline and Katie

It saddens me to have to write this because we love the bridge however our recent experience has been playing on my mind all week. As always food was great however the lady who was “incharge “ and I hope not for long really put a damper on the meal. Moody , unwelcoming and needless to say not management material. A sour welcome should never be what a paying customer should experience. We were glad not to be served by her further but instead a lovely young girl with a huge smile on her face. We will be back because we love the bridge however we would not be served by the lady after this experience

A massive thanks to your staff (Seyf, Scarlett and Saskia) tonight….. they were super busy yet provided an excellent service with a smile and conversation….. Much appreciated. The food was a match for the staff excellent quality and plenty of it. I’m local (recently) and looking forward to making it my local. Keep up the good work.

Amazing time at the Bridge with excellent customer service from Seyf, Scarlett and Saskia ! Thank you so much. Our second time here and we will be back;)

Beautiful location beside the river Cam, unfortunately the food left a lot to be desired! Just not the best quality, for the price asked!

Great location, pleasing to look at both inside and out! LACKS good service! LACKS welcoming staff. Needs people who actually care working there!

If you wish to be abused by staff, this is defo the place to go. We arrived with our boat to meet up with our family for a nice lunch. We were 30m late as we got held up at the river lock. When arrived and after apologizing for the delay, the hostess made it very clear we are not going to have enough time. We said we'll be quick, but apparently, the system booked the table for 4 instead of 5 and although the pub was not even half full, she sent us away. She made it clear she was not going to even try to help us by finding a bigger table or even adding a chair. We were with 2 children, elderly woman and a dog and felt so very unwanted there. Only thing she had to say is the pub's policy basically doesn't permit helping customers. Afternoin was ruined, very poor experience.

Awful experience disgusting food staff were beyond rude. One staff member assuming a manager as not in a uniform looked like she had lost the will to live, grumpy rude, and sorry to say looked dirty and unkept really didn't help with the whole experience. Sort it out before unloose more trade. First time customer now a last time customer

Had to immediately post a review, to hopefully save other people from wasting their money here and save people heartache. Just visited The Bridge pub for Sunday lunch, had quite a few good previous visits here and really thought it would be good today just the same. Well never again will I visit here. I had prebooked a table, you would think that would count and allow a decent amount of time to relax and enjoy your meal and take your time at least a bit - No, that was obviously asking way too much!! From the moment the female staff member came to seat me, she said “I need the table back by 1:30pm” (an hour from my arrival) and really needs some training or a nicer personality because she was cold, unwelcoming and treated me like I was dirt under her shoe. Ordinarily I probably wouldn’t take much more than an hour to have a meal, factoring in the food preparation/serving times, plus eating without choking yourself, but when pressure is immediately put on you and you are made to feel rushed that you must be finished by a certain time, no leeway, well I’m sorry but that completely spoiled what should have been a lovely experience and put me on edge the whole time. She/they should never have given me a time limit in the first place, or anyone full stop. I truly hope they don’t treat anyone else like this. Even worse, everyone else who was there for lunch at the same time/groups of 2, 3 or 4 people, weren’t told that “we need your table by such and such a time”, oh no they must have thought they could treat me like that because I was on my own and they could effectively bully me. Then at 1:20pm I was “reminded” about they needed the table by 1:30pm, so I couldn’t really even order a dessert because there wouldn’t have been enough time and it would have felt even more rushed and why should I pay good money to be treated like that? So I decided no, I’m not going to waste any more money on them when they clearly don’t give a toss about anyone, only about making money. Which was also clear from the moment the woman was going to take me to the table, as her comment after she asked me “is it just you/one person” and I said yes, she then said “that’s absolutely okay” - what the heck does that mean?! There was no reason to say that’s absolutely okay that it was just me on my own, the only reason I can see why she said such a pointless comment is she was hoping there’d be more people so they can make more money. Absolutely disgusted. The food was generally good, apart from most of the meat was fatty so couldn’t eat that and the greens/veg was so dry and tasteless. But on the whole food is good. Two young waitresses were lovely and helped make the experience a bit nicer but for the most part it left me cold and spoilt the time there. I will never return I’m sad to say, it’s a nice place and by the river but standards have definitely crashed to rock bottom. It’s their loss, as I have been and would have been a very good customer and would have gone back many times very happily, but never again.

Awesome little place. Hosts very friendly and the food is amazing!!! A great view of the river out in the garden too.

Always lovely service and food. Shoutout to scarlett for her service

Came in for Dinner on Monday night. I had the new curry which was delicious.

Food good, tasty and hot. Service very good. Sorted out payments easily between different vouchers for a party of 9.

This is a nice pub next to the river with amazing views but the management is horrible... Not all of them. We went with my friend for dinner and we booked a table. Upon arriving, we asked if we could have drinks outside while we were waiting for our food order and the manager at that time agreed to so and said that he will call us when food was ready. We were allocated a table inside and as told we ordered the food and drinks and went outside to enjoy the garden waiting to be called. After 45 min we realized that nobody came to look after us and we saw that our food was left on the table and obviously cold. This is very unprofessional, by our fortune the next manager covering that shift was lovely and removed the food from the bill apologizing. The previous shift manager will need to learn how to do customer service since what he did is intolerable.

The food and waitress service was good, but the welcome by the owner was grim and extremely unwelcoming. He looked aggravated as though we were a nuisance and problem. Not the 1st place I’d think of going back to in a hurry
