The Bridge House in Huntingdonshire

From the moment we walked in we were warmly welcomed. Drinks were ordered and brought straight away. The menu is great with lots of variety and there were lots of things I could have chosen. The food tasted great and the service was excellent. We had several servers. None too intrusive and all very friendly. We left and both said we will come back. It was a lovely dining experience and one I will revisit soon for definite. Good value too.

There were 4 of us for a lunchtime meal. Three starters, four main meals and three desserts. Plus drinks and coffees. We all really enjoyed our meals very good. The service was excellent and the restaurant itself has a lovely atmosphere. Would definitely recommend.

Delicious food! I really like this place!

Didn’t eat and only popped in for one pint with a few mates. We were told we were being loud by an older waitress (we really weren’t) who then harassed us by standing next to us and refusing to move. When we told her she didn’t have to do this she became incredibly rude and swore at us (ironically, she was loud). Complained to the manager who was also rude. The new set up is dreadful and I won’t be going back in there. Such a shame as this is the reason pubs close.

1 Maria, a server, was extremely rude to us telling us to ‘f—- off and leave’ after accusing us of being loud within the pub. Couples next to us didn’t even know of our presence. When we asked to speak to the manager about Maria’s customer service, he was extremely dismissive of our customer and showed zero care for our experience. I wouldn’t wish Maria’s “customer service” on any custom and I’d avoid the ‘restaurant’ pub

We visited The Bridge House for lunch and were greeted and seated by friendly staff. Our drinks were quickly brought to our table as were our meals after ordering. All four meals were excellent. The servers were all friendly and helpful and were attentive without being intrusive. It has been seven or eight years since I last visited The Bridge House and it barely merited one star then, hence the reason I never returned. Fast forward to this visit and it is most worthy of five stars now it has changed hands. It is now very well managed and it was a pleasure to eat here. Our two guests from Scandinavia also enjoyed it very much. We will be back.

Only drank but envious of food being served up to others! You can’t get closer to the Great Ouse river than this pub, smack in the lovely old town of St Neots!

We were a party of 10 adults and a child, guests with severe allergies and disabilities. We booked for Sunday Lunchtime. The menu choices were able to cater for everyone’s needs, they were willing to adapt our choices, checked all the allergens and advised accordingly. The restaurant was very busy, we found that the staff were professional, welcoming and friendly. We chose a variety of dishes and all were well presented and very tasty. Portion sizes were generous. Definitely recommend the Sunday Roasts.

Pleasant place for a quick pint!

Great seating by the river, nice atmosphere. Tasty filling food. Efficient staff

We are regulars here and have never once found anything disappointing. The owner always greets us warmly; our order is taken efficiently; the food is well prepared and presented. Moderate prices. Everything as we would wish it to be.

Driver is extremely friendly Food was great glad i give them a second chance Well be ordering again Thank you guys

A friend and I popped in here today as where we had planned to go was closed for a private function, we were looking for a light lunch and a drink and boy did it exceed our expectations. Very friendly staff, beautiful river location, yummy food and very reasonably priced. Sadly I am not a local to the Bridge House but should I ever be in the area again, I would defo head here.

I used to love this place but now there are too many staff looking after each table so you have 3 different people asking the same question. The food is amazing though

it was a great service and a nice delivery man was polite id order again

The bolognese was mint 👌🏽 but the chicken and mushroom cream sauce pasta was not it. We have had it at the restaurant and it was great but for delivery it just wasn’t the same. The pizza was nice though. Food was still warm when it was delivered so that’s a plus .

Sat outside, overlooking the river on a sunny Saturday afternoon. Only had a drink. Service and atmosphere were both good.

We had a large table with friends and family. The food was absolutely spectacular, the menu was huge which does make me worry sometimes but everything ordered was delicious. Pubs looking great inside and out and the staff were fantastic.

Chef is off his Game Sautéed potato swing in oil and water from the vegetable Sole not season properly . Think its time i give this restaurant a break , its so sad when you pay the same money as you would in a restaurant just to get your food just a

Food was completely on point , I had the brocoli spaghetti and it was delicious , partner had the burger and said it was equally delicious.

Nice pub right on the river, you can eat (didn't have food here), drink and watch the world go by. Was nice chatting to the locals who were a friendly bunch. It's also at the start of the high street shops, so a great location.

Popped in for lunch and glad we did, the food was excellent and the staff could not have been better. We will be going again and have recommended to friends.

Really good food, and friendly staff. Will be back!

Walked along from St Neots campsite and found this gem. Sat out on riverside terrace having drinks and food. Great atmosphere and reasonably priced pub food.

The first time I ate here under the new management, it was fairly quiet, and everything went well. Today, however, I had a very poor experience. The terrace was packed. The drinks were served promptly, and they took note of our food order quickly. We asked a server if we could move to the table behind (40), and she helped us move. About 30 min later, they brought our entrees to our original table (35), and we explained to this waitress what was going on. She said she would make a note in the kitchen. About an hour after they had taken note, our mains hadn't arrived and we asked another waiter, who explained that the chef had our food ready, but they didn't know where table 35 was. Mind you, they hadn't brought any food to any of the tables 35 or 40. He went to the kitchen, which we assumed was to get our food, only to see him go to another table to serve their food. We talked to the manager and explained the situation, to which he only replied "I am sorry, I am so sorry". Our food was nowhere to be found. We decided to leave. When paying, they brought up the whole bill! We of course said that we would only pay for what we had, and he corrected it. All in all, we went in with high expectations after our first experience, and left disappointed and hungry.

The food was lovely, not too expensive . Nice sitting by the river on a nice warm day.

Extremely disappointed Order fried scallops and king prawn The scallops was so black and brunt Cant believe they send this out.. When will justeat make can put up photos

Good food served by very friendly staff

We had a family meal here and everyone was very happy. The food was absolutely amazing, especially the Sunday roast. The staff serving us were fantastic and the pub looks great and very busy!!!

Sole beautiful as along ways But calamari was rubber 😕

Excellent food and good service, very efficient. Very pleasant atmosphere with beautiful views of the river, 100% recommended!! 😉

Nice restaurant!! It exceeded my expectations... Good atmosphere, excellent food and drinks, the service was very attentive at all times, very efficient. To complete the visit it must be said that it has incredible views of the river, I think they are the best... Totally recommended!!😉

Visited this pub 3 times in a week. Firstly Sunday evening closed. Thursday morning for coffee closed Friday evening for dinner no walk ins as only two chefs. Complete waste of time.

Eight of us ate there today food was excellent but it was clearly noticeable that the governor was not there. Service was appalling we were stuck up in the corner of the restaurant and after the main course nobody came near to offer us desserts or coffee. We gave up in the end; their loss!!

When the new owners took over, as a vegetarian who like pub food to be just that, I was unsure. Having tried a few times I am impressed with the food and the staff are all lovely. I would still like to see more pub food for vegetarians for example halloumi fish and chips would be a great addition and also a veggie roast! The river terrace is one of the best in the area and if you want a decent meal better than you average pub (particularly if you like seafood i have been told) then give them a try. Good value these day too!

Great service clean room decent breakfast what more could you want

Enjoyed a nice couple glasses of wine on the riverside patio with my wife.

Great location, lovely areas to sit inside and outside

Lovely Friday night dinner.very busy but service still excellent extensive menu and food was very good,over and above service for someone's birthday in our party. definitely recommend as food drink and service are all excellent.

Hats off to the Chefs Fish cook perfectly..only negative comment is that the mash potato is extremely salt But other than that everything was great thanks guys

Fantastic meal...however my Dover Sole was over cooked it which was really a pitty . But the flavors are all there

Lovely pub. Lovely location, by the Great Ouse river.

Food was lovely, we had 2 pasta dishes both were delicious. Staff were friendly and helpful.

I haven't visited for years but I am glad I did. Service was excellent and so was the food. Good choice of drinks.

Update: July 2024, still good. Quick service, tasty food, nice people and beer. Update: March 2024 Nice welcome and the dining area is pleasant. The prompt service asking for our drinks order was good, but overall, service was just a bit too quick - I understand that they want to move covers through, but if you're dining out for pleasure, it's nice to have thinking time and not dash through the process. The menu is extensive, but includes a lot of dishes that work well from frozen. Plenty of fish choices and a pub grub/Italian vibe so plenty of yummy things to choose from. The cheese burgers are good, not chewy, well seasoned and nice garnish. The lamb shank was generous and tasted great. The cod was somewhat over-cooked, but still tasty. The beer selection here is now great if you like a session bitter - Greene King IPA and Timothy Taylor makes a hard decision, but a nice problem to have. Sensible prices make it easy to return, no need to wait for a special occasion. Will definitely return sometime soon. Previously: Nice, good value food with a decent selection of beers. The fish pie and cottage pie are always very good.

Great place for the family to eat - nice seating areas along by the river.

Very nice outdoor area near river. Food very nice. Staff helpful and friendly.

Quite busy weekday early evening very efficient service

Rude waitress - Party of 9 greeted by a nice lad at the bar who prepared our large table. An older woman working there seemed to be too big for her boots and was rude to us 3 separate times (before we even ordered). Didn’t order food because of this and we walked out. She needs some customer service training urgently.

Fast and good quality food. Delicious

I had the Sunday roast dinner. Disappointed for £20. Half a dozen very small, possibly new, roast potatoes. Two florets of broccoli, five thin fingers of carrot and about five runner beans. A couple of thinly sliced pieces of roast beef hidden under a large Yorkshire pudding. The meal was served so quickly I wondered if it was already plated for quick service. Pudding was the saving grace. On the way out I noticed that lots of people were having other meals from the menu. So therefore assume that the roast dinner is not their strong point!

We went as a family group of seven for a birthday celebration booked for a lunchtime meal. This was our first visit since it had been taken over and we were very impressed with the friendly welcome we received, the staff couldn’t have been more helpful. We didn’t have to wait too long for meals to arrive and we were all very happy with our choices. We will definitely be returning to the Bridge House where customer service is first class, they made our celebration special.

Nice pint of Hobgoblin in a very nice glass.

A lovely night out overlooking the river. The restaurant was clean and the staff were pleasant and friendly. There was a good range of food to choose from, there is a leaning towards fish on many of the items. The restaurant badly need to look at the details in the menu however. A meal containing cheese (camembert) is not vegan and if a meal comes with cheese that needs to be mentioned on the menu. I did mention this at the time and the member of staff I spoke to said that the issue had been mentioned before by other diners?

Nice location on the river, we wouldn't recommend if you have an allergy as they don't seem to follow guidelines or understand the difference between vegetarian and vegan, which isn't great if you have a milk/egg allergy or are lactose intolerant. The other guests did enjoy their meals. Sub par experience with several staff members as well when talking through some of the issues, though the owner was great. We likely won't be returning due to allergy risk and poor handling.

Love the pub and atmosphere and views, however, comfort food was basic, and the lamb shank was a bit on the expensive side, dry and tasteless. And a teaspoon of vegetables are not exceptable.

Really good fish & chips. Will visit again.

Very Large Menu Food was OK But nothing special

Excellent food. Lovely few days in the garden next to the river.

Nice location on the river. But spoilt by miserable staff, showed absolutely no gratitude or courtesy, pints are always short measured!!

Miserable staff, showed absolutely no gratitude or courtesy.

Unfortunately the food was mediocre, the service......never have I complained of too many staff, but here there were! Standing by our table chatting, making it difficult for us to talk to one another, different staff asking numerous times if we needed to order, when order had already been taken. I advised the staff member about the issues with the food, to which I received no acknowledgement. Food - very very disappointing. Location - stunning, on the river.

We visited here for lunch today, a first for us. Recently we have toured our area, pubs, restaurant, garden centre cafes, but have been so disappointed We had about given up on finding a really good eating place where we can just pop out for lunch, and take friends, and family. At last.We have found not only a wonderful comfortable, lovely atmostphere, exceptionally good service, a full menu, that gives wonderful choices, And the food is very tasty and fresh,with tasty sauces. The Apple pie and custard, was to die for, which we shared, as we were pretty full. Yes I would give Bridge House, 10/10, I will be going again very soon. Pam Howey.

Fantastic service and good homemade style food.

Nice pub with great views of the river

No soup left in the container only the vegetables. Soup was in the bottom of the bag and also in the pasta dish I ordered.

Great Food, lovely staff the mussels were delicious plus scrumptious desserts. Will definitely do again.

Well what can I say! Awful new owners

Great fresh food, lovely on the river and nice family run pub

Only called in for a drink. Beautifully situated on the river. Very enjoyable.

Just read some of the more negative Reviews - must be in a different universe. Went on Friday with a group. Service could not have been more friendly and helpful from start to finish. The Food 10/10, wide choice, everything cooked perfectly even to the standards of the most fussy within the group. Highly recommended, cannot wait to go back,

Came here with my son. Both had fish and chips. Food was good, fish could have had more batter though, but chips and sauces were very good. Children’s portion had lots of fries and fish but a small amount of peas. Service was excellent though, really polite and attentive.

Lovely warm ambience on entering. Table ok but draughty so a little cold. All the staff we encountered were lovely and polite although they were ready to clear our table before we were ready to leave! Good menu choice however the meal was only cool to warm, never ideal. I like piping hot food so as nice as it was this was very disappointing. Reasonable value for money but HOT FOOD IS A MUST.

Great place to eat and drink by the river

Won’t be going back! Ordered a pint of landlord and took it to the table, had a sip of it and it was disgusting. It tasted like pure chemical with a horrible after taste. I took it to the bar and the manager said there’s nothing wrong with it, it must be your taste buds 🤣. I drink that beer a lot and it’s definitely not my taste buds. I asked for a different pint and he refused. Apparently they serve 5 kegs a week of landlord and it’s fine ( very hard to believe ) he then refused to serve me a drink to go with my dinner I hadn’t even ordered. Customer service was just crap ! Moving on to Sunday lunch. Nothing is made fresh. The beef was very clearly boil in the bag and not that great, the veg is all boil on a bag too and as for the roast potato’s I think they could see the oven from a distance.

We had about 5 different servers which were too many. My glass was picked up and nearly removed when I hadn't even finished it. Then we asked 1 server for the bill, they disappeared then it took another 2 servers to eventually bring us the bill. Then he couldn't split it into half so he then disappeared to get help to split the bill. I didn't feel relaxed. Also I had the roast beef dinner and the meat was overcooked not pink at all.

Beautiful place with a very varied and tasty menu. 💕 The view from the river is beautiful, we had a lovely time with friends. The food was delicious. I ordered the prawn/mango salad and I loved it; my husband had the risotto, and the others had some pizzas (excellent bake and quality). The appetizers were really tasty as well, melon and Spanish ham and the squid, just perfect!! I will definitely be back. Highly recommended!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Pet friendly as well 💕🐶 ⭐️🎉

Lovely views by they river.more of food place they didn't seem to like drinkers not very welcoming

Lovely place, next to the river. A tad expensive since new landlords took over. For this particular reason only going there occasionally. Recommended if you fancy a nice spot in the sun 🌞 Thanks

We have been to the bridge many times and always have great food and great service. The staff are all very friendly. There is a nice space outside looking over the river.

Great food with generous portions and friendly staff Good value, would recommend and will happily return 😊

Lovely relaxed, atmosphere. Great service. Varied and interesting menu. Reasonable prices. What more could you want? Will definitely be back.

Very good food. Portions are on the large size. You say you won't eat all of it but it's so good you do! Staff were attentive and friendly. Only one thought for improvement, we were seated near the toilet, the vanilla airfreshner was quite strong and we could smell it where were sitting. Might be worth turning down the intensity of it.

Lovely pub on the river/lake. Had a very nice roast beef Sunday lunch & glass of wine. Will definitely return when we are next in the area

This was a catch up birthday lunch with a friend. We were left to enjoy our meal at our leisure whilst chatting. The food was well cooked and seasoned and delicious. The cost was average for pub food. It is a very extensive menu and I wonder how they'd cope if the restaurant was full and lots of different meals were ordered but ours were both excellent today. The place is nicely decorated and I had a beautiful glass for my brandy. I couldn't fault today after they transferred our food on to warm plates. Why oh why do places serve food on stone cold plates? 🥺 It is beyond me.

Delicious food with friendly staff! Was happy with my visit!

Early afternoon drinks with friends very quiet so short of atmosphere but bound to be busy later. Superb riverside location but weather not conducive to outdoor siiting on the terrace.

Handsome building, lovely location. Beautiful food (I had the Salmon Tagliatelle, it was fantastic and staff very happy to accommodate my dislike of asparagus, swapping it out for some perfectly cooked broccoli), superbly well kept pint of Landlord suggesting beer and beer line care is absolutely spot on. Attentive staff, can't fault the service. Absolutely will be back when I'm in town again!

Very good. The restaurant has been revamped and looks smart. The menu on offer has a lot of choice and is well prepared. Can't fault the service given by the staff. They were very attentive. Prices are as reasonable.

The food was excellent today, Mothers Day.

Food is good and good value . Service is excellent with lots of attention

Lovely place, we have been a few times now and the food & service have always been great, never a bad meal. Good selection of meals.

Excellent service, well run establishment. The ribeye steak was amazing and cooked to perfection (medium). Reasonably priced. Definitely go back again

Having spent several evenings in this restaurant over the last few weeks I have been very impressed with the quality of the food and the standard of service. The variety of food is excellent and is very nicely cooked. The waiters are pleasant and polite and friendly. At the end of the night, the bill is a pleasure too - way less than usual and fantastic value for money. Highly recommended to everyone.

This is by far the best place for a meal in town. Sensible menu choices (including halibut, yum yum); sensible and not extravagant wine list; very pleasant owners and attentive and capable staff. Everything here is perfection.

Blonde manager was completely rude and complained we were loud in a pub. Group spent £50+ on drinks just to be essentially removed for laughing and having a good time

Brilliant Their fish and chips best ever . Also their customer services are brilliant.

The food and service was excellent

Just had birthday treat excellent food. Excellent service. And well priced. Looking at a group of 16 for aget together. Meal and drinks

Visited for lunch and hadn't eaten here before. The menu was quite diverse and large which is of concern for me normally however the food was very good and much better than I was anticipating. Will be visiting again and would recommend. Staff were very friendly and attentive.
