The ChestnutTree in Cambridge

This place has recently changed hands, the new menu is constantly changing, which is great, but disappointing when something disappears before I've tried it! Generous portions and fantastic flavours, everything made in house; the confit duck with mash, bacon, beans and kale is amazing, the fish and chips on a par with the best I've had. Great selection of drinks and real ales too.

Delicious venison ragu, was recommended by someone who had it earlier. Wife had Duck confit and was raving about it. Love this pub, great beers, wonderful friendly service and friendly locals.

Chestnut tree has recently changed hands (Jan 2024). The new chef is AMAZING. So far we’ve had Streak and chips, fish and chips and Sunday toast. Faultless. Friendly. Reasonably priced. Food simply amazing. We will be back regularly.

Fantastic lunchtime meal. New owners are doing a great job. Highly recommend the burger and steak fries. But all the meals coming out when we were there looked fab. Lovely helpful service too. And good value.

Had a fantastic Sunday lunch there on the 24/09/10 every thing was perfect well cooked and hot with the added bonus of a jug full of extra gravy which was yummy!

A well run welcoming pub. Casual relaxing atmosphere with well cooked food and a small but decent wine list . Friendly hosts, the freshly cooked food was served promptly and was exceptionally good value. It is also family friendly and children are catered for. Recommended.

Lovely family run pub. Lovely staff, great service, excellent home cooked food and excellent value for money 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Will definitely be back.

Large, clean well set out dinning area with a small bar to one side. Friendly reception with a table set out ready for us. Pre meal drinks were served quickly and menus provided. The service was quick and polite. There were three in our party and each ordered a different meal. The starters and main courses were very good and the server checked with us to see that all was well. A good pub' which has a nice atmosphere, good food, easy parking and very good value. I shall most certainly return.

Amazing Sunday Roast yet again…. Food is consistently high quality in a lovely village location. Sat in the garden for drinks when we first arrived and really enjoy the outside seating area. A fantastic day with friends made more enjoyable by the staff at the Chesnut Tree who always make you feel welcome.

Nice venue, pretty good selection of drinks and good landlord. Off the beaten track unless you are a local villager. Looked after us well on our visit.

Fantastic pub. We’ve been here a few times now and it’s always been excellent. Food is delicious, beautifully cooked and great value. Lovely service. Highly recommend to all.

Ate here as a family of 4 before Christmas as a treat. We were not disappointed. The food is delicious , the chicken pies are very tasty, with lots of chicken content.Equally the chicken burger was lovely. . We all made room for desserts which were equally yummy! The syrup sponge is a huge portion. We left full and very pleased with what we had. Would definitely re visit and recommend to anyone looking for a traditional pub with good pub food!

We stopped off at this pub for lunch on the way to visit family. The landlady is lovely and friendly, and the pub has some great choices for beer. We had a really good lunch, the food was excellent in particular the soup and chicken burgers. Well worth our detour!

Amazing Sunday Lunch! Moved into area at the end of May this year. This was one of many visits. The food is consistently great! Highly recommend the pork. Friendly staff, great selection of drinks and fantastic value for money.

I live local so have been many times over the years. The dining area and the bar are separated, which is a plus. The food is quite average, not outstanding nor bad, and the menu is quite large with lots of options and sides. Puddings are yummy as they should. The service isn't great, and it does leave you waiting. The pub has a nice vibe going on and is nicely furnished. The Garden is lovely and has a lot of space to be spread out from other people. The overall price of the food and drink is okay, and not overly priced.

Looks lovely from outside, with a really nice garden, sitting on a corner of several lanes on the edge of the village. Inside is is scrubbed tables, quite cosy and a homely "pubby" British menu. The choices are well varied, should suit most people. Friendly, homely service, nice, easy atmosphere

Delicious Sunday Roast, lovely pub, very welcoming, good atmosphere, big garden, we’ll definitely return.

Amazing take away pizza. Totally yummy. Interesting toppings. Fresh. Exceptional. Good value. Thank you.

Excellent choice of drinks, good choices on the tasty menu, most friendly & efficient service at a reasonable price. What is there not to like?

Visited 'The Chestnut Tree' for the first time today for Sunday Lunch on the recommendation of friend. The roast dinners were delicious (as were our Desserts), and all at very reasonable prices. Three 'Real Ales' and a Cider were available on hand-pump. Service was friendly and efficient. Also, a variety of different coffee styles were available, which is something rarely seen in Pubs. All in all an excellent experience, we will certainly visit again!

So went up on Sunday the 6th October 2019 after being a regular local for some 6-8 years spending in excess of £100-£150.00 per week in the pub. Tried to engage in general conversation with the bar maid on duty at the time. Nothing out of ordinary nothing controversial. Bar Maid more content in cleaning cutlery than engaging with only customer in the pub at the time (me) and decided to call the land lady down. After personal insults from the land lady about my conduct over the past few months which were completely unfounded and with out prove she decided to ban me until until her her tenancy expires which may be 2+ years. It is with great regrets than I post such a poor review. However to be banned from a establishment because the landlady has personal issues which are without foundation I find not only insulting but also a mar on the establishment it,s self. I welcome any feed back from the land lord to whom I have the greatest respect.

We do not live locally, but our daughter does. Whilst on baby-sitting duties, we look for somewhere to eat and this pub has proved as good as any. It is not exactly "fine dining", but it is good food at reasonable prices and cheerfully served. In most respects, it is a very ordinary village pub but is well worth a visit if you want a good honest lunch (and, probably, dinner) at a good honest price.

We were looking for somewhere hild friendly in the area and found the Chestnut Tree. The food was very good indeed and we all enjoyed it. The price was unbelievably good. The service was excellent, including being able to share a dessert between the three of us, because the main courses had been so generous.The service was a little slow, but we had lots to talk about, so no real problem.

Once again great pub grub and friendly service. Plenty of quality food and a really good pint.Thank you we will call again.

What a great Roast dinner the Chestnut serve. Everything was just right. No pinky Beef, roast potatoes crispy on the outside fluffy on the inside. Good variety of vegetables, and well cooked, no crunchy veg here. Yorkshire pudding was very nice and the gravy perfect. All this served with a smile, which is a rarity at times. Certainly good value for money. If ever an overpriced restaurant owner wanted to know how to cook and serve the perfect Sunday lunch , they should book a table and head over to the Chestnut. Now we have found it we certainly wont forget it. A great experience.

Came hear on Sunday 9th with my wife son and his partner.friendly welcome we had the pork and beef both excellent quality and tender good selection of vegetables but the highlight was the Yorkshire pudding home made no Aunt Bessie's.good selection of real ale's wish I lived closer as I would come every week.

Very friendly pub, nice choice on menu,freshly cooked and very tasty. We went both nights on our weekend away as it was very good and a short walk from Bakery Cottage, which we were staying in.

Booked a table whilst visiting from South Wales. Amazing value for money and the food was beautiful. Friendly, accommodating staff. Will definitely be back on our next visit.

We stopped here speculatively for Sunday lunch, the team re-arranged furniture to get our party of 6 in and were happy to help.

This is a typical village pub. Do not expect haute cuisine, but do expect tasty well-cooked food in a pleasant atmosphere. My wife's requirements for gluten and dairy-free food were fully understood and met. The prices were particularly good when set against many pubs. I wouldn't travel 100 miles, but, if in the vicinity again, I would certainly eat here again.

Great welcome ,food and beers.This is an above average pub grub experience.Agreat village pub.we will call again.

Called in after walk, other walkers were queuing up at 12 to get in. Quite right to queue, as the beer alone is worth it. We will be back to eat because it looks brilliant. Last time I tried to book they were full.

We found this pub very welcoming. The menu is extensive, the food good and the portions large. The lounge bar is filled with a range of interesting china and the ambience is pleasant. I would definitely go again.

Excellent steak and chips. Have eaten here numerous times but it seems to have recently gone up a level. Renewed menu and superb food. Couldn’t fault the steak and chips or chocolate brownie dessert. Steak cooked to perfection and excellent value too. Gin menu and good selection of beers.

Been wanting to try Sunday lunch for some time and finally made it having to book three weeks in advance!

If you like a pint of real ale look no further, a constant turn of expertly kept and faultless beers means you will always have something new and exciting on tap ready to try. If food is your target, have no concerns that the chef will produce a meal that you will remember for its quality and sensible pricing. The Sunday roast is fantastic but make sure you book in advance. Yes I am a big fan of what has to be one of the best pubs in this or any other village for miles and miles. I strongly recommend a visit.

Very quaint traditional pub, lovely service, food was hearty and sensibly priced. Well worth a visit 👍

No matter when I have booked the standard is still thew same high level. Generous servings for Sunday lunch, piping hot and delicious. The Salmon is excellent with a large portion and intriguing accompaniments .

The pub offers a great range of real ales and serves a gorgeous rhubarb cider. One of the best well kept beer gardens I’ve ever sat in. The staff are really friendly and helpful, and the food is excellent value for money. We’ll be back again very soon.

We had Sunday lunch with the family and it was one of the best roasts that we have had recently. The beer was fabulous and service was excellent as always. Can’t recommend it highly enough

Been past the pub a lot of times, but never been in, phoned up and booked on the spur of the moment was not disappointed.

We have visited a few times for a drink but on this occasion we met friends for a meal. We had a nice table near the fireplace and I had a couple of nice pints of ale. The starters were lovely, I enjoyed the pâté. For the main course I had ham eggs and chips, which was great and the others had very tasty pies. Service was good and not rushed at all. Recommended.

The Chestnut Tree is a traditional 1950's pub restaurant creating a good atmosphere. Now a Free House. The food was traditional pub food, a good range and well prepared. Good quality foood and real ales. The service was quick and efficient and food was cooked to order.

Lovely light lunch amid quite a gaggle of all sorts of people munching huge plates of good-looking food! Good traditional pub, attractive beams and lots of 'snug' corners. We had soup and a sandwich and staggered out very well fed. We aren't local but wish we were - a very nice place to visit.

My partner and I have eaten here around 5 times in the last month for Sunday lunch, weekday lunches and dinner. We haven't been disappointed once and have always been impressed with the value for money and the quality of the food. For instance, £9.50 gets you a superb Sunday lunch with all the trimmings. Everything was cooked really well ( Which is not the case in many other pubs I've been in for Sunday lunch and paid a lot more ) We will certainly be returning for Sunday lunch.

popped in with friend when we were coming back home. typical pub with lovely atmosphere and fair prices. however I wouldnt stop there if I would know we would need to wait 37minutes for 2chicken burgers.

La castaña nunca nos decepcionó con cervezas (diferentes cervezas cada semana) y la calidad de un bar. Además de los viejos favoritos como los cazadores de pollo y pescado y patatas fritas, prueba la gran nueva tartas y patatas fritas. No se olvide de la cervezas que realmente diferencian a este pub de otros en la zona. También tiene un jardín cuidado de calidad por Pete y Rachel.

Had Sunday lunch here with my son and wife.pork and beef tender with a good selection of veg.nice garden outside and on my next visit will eat in the garden weather permitting.staff very attentive even forgot to put the drinks on the bill.as I honest person I had to own up.

3 of us visited this restaurant for the first time for a girly meal out. Despite one of us being a vegetarian (and the menu was a bit limited for veggies) they managed to put together a lovely veggie plate of chips and salad. My...

Primero encontré este pub, cuando estaban organizando una fiesta de la cerveza, que entiendo son relativamente regulares. El pub sirve una gran variedad de cervezas, cervezas y sidras. Después volvimos y probamos su menú, y tengo que decir que bot realmente impresionados. Tuve steak &...

Hace cinco años estaba en peligro Wratting Oeste de perder su última pub. A la gran buena fortuna del pueblo, Rachel y Peter se enamoró del Castaño y el pueblo. Se transforman en una fábrica por propiedad en un negocio familiar de pub acogedor invirtiendo tiempo y esfuerzo en hacer que uno de los puntos focales de la aldea. Saludo alegre frente de Rachel's house hace sentir a todos bienvenidos. Peter trabaja maravillas de la pequeña cocina. Uno de los bares está dedicado a un restaurante informal. El menú, que ofrece una variedad de opciones, desde un snack ligero a una comida completa, está bien diseñado pero sin agobiar. Cuando se sirve, la comida es preparada a la perfección y parece atractivo en el plato. Las porciones son generosas y los precios muy razonables. El Castaño es un premio galardonado casa gratis sirve camra una interesante y cambiante variedad de cervezas locales. Si están en las inmediaciones, es un pueblo bien vale la pena visitar.

Nos hicieron sentir muy bienvenidos siempre, personal de todo el mundo. La comida es deliciosa y excelente relación calidad-precio. Sin duda merece la pena una visita.

Every village needs a 'local' and West Wratting is lucky to have the Chestnut Tree. Excellent beer that is well kept - the key to any good pub.It is not a gastropub but the food includes a good selection of pub classics and more..... all delivered to a high standard. Indeed, the fact that it is not a destination dinner venue preserves its local character and makes it worth a visit.

Had lovely family lunch. Good choice of menu. Food was delicious, well presented, served quickly & hot. Great dessert menu too. Excellent quality & value. Staff so friendly & welcoming. Pub lovely inside with separate dining room & also nice back garden to sit out if weather permits. Definitely recommend to friends & family.

Our walking group of 21 had pre-ordered at 9.45 and we were served very efficiently on our return from a lovely walk at 12.30. There was an excellent choice from the menu ranging from soup, baguettes, etc. to a variety of cooked meals, also available in smaller portion sizes if required. I had salmon fillet with new potatoes and vegetables, with pea puree and hollandaise sauce, followed by a good cup of coffee. The meal was very tasty and well presented. The sausage and mash dish looked good, as did the ham, eggs and chips. We were seated in the dining room of the pub. I can recommend this pub for a good meal and our thanks to the team, Rachel, Peter and Lisa for accommodating our group. There is also a nice garden area outside and parking.

This pub restaurant is off the tourist track and , as such, is much quieter and peaceful than a lot of locations. The food was excellent quality and quantity. The beer was well kept and tasty,. There was a very good choice of ciders on a separate menu displayed on the bar. There are both public and saloon bars which accommodate different styles of customers. The staff were friendly and polite. When i was in the restarant there were several customers waiting for food which caused the staff to struggle with the demand and my sirloin steak dish took about fifteen minutes to arrive. but this was acceptable to my friends and myself.

Been here now 4 to 5 times to eat.Great value for money.Good selection of beer.Friendly service.If in the area worth a visit

Winter day, lunch, lovely log fire, excellent food and good selection of beers, helpful and friendly service. And the meat pies - had on another occasion - are sensational (one might be enough for two).

Excellent fresh pub food. Best pork ribs I've ever had, meat just fell off the bone and great sauce too. Streak and chips superb too... and scampi and chips. Run by husband and wife team and you can feel that, they care about the food and want you to enjoy it. I've eaten here a number of times since moving to the area and it has never failed. Fresh tasty food. What more can you want from a pub? Great selection of local beers too.
