Beautifully situated great traditional English pub on the river Ouse. Good selection of beers and a surprisingly good restaurant on two floors

The Cutter hosted our 80 person sit-down wedding reception and we honestly couldn't find fault. We had exclusive use of the restaurant from the night before and to set up décor and table plan. We comfortably seated 80 and the staff were helpful during set up and made the tables look incredible. On the day, there was not a single hitch. Prosecco was available when people arrived, all questions were answered, everyone was seated seamlessly, and all our vendors said the Cutter were great to work with. The staff were attentive throughout the day, tables were served and cleared quickly, and they were fun and friendly throughout. Incredible service. The food was delicious (a choice of starters and roast dinner). I had garlic mushrooms and chicken, I could eat the mushrooms every day and not get bored. The kitchen catered to a variety of dietary restrictions and allergies and all the coeliacs had high praise for the roast. We ended the night with a disco and the room was quickly turned around into a dancefloor. Being in our 40s, and having started at midday, we only lasted til just gone 11 but it was a great craic. We were nervous a few months before as we maybe wanted a bit more hand holding, but it turns out they just knew exactly what they were doing! The weeks leading up to the wedding we spoke regularly to Kirsty and Chloe, they provided all the reassurance and advice we needed and made the process so seamless and easy. I don't plan on getting married again but if I was, I would do it here!

Great food, nice service. All a bit crammed in, just not at all cost like you'd imagine for a pub. Terrible, cold, draughty, cramped loos, not even enough space for normal cubicle doors. Why?

I’ve never used the restaurant side of the Cutter, but have been to the pub side a lot. I go mainly for the location, it’s lovely by the river. BUT I do wish they’d up their game a bit. Nothing ever feels or looks clean. Sticky, wobbly tables. Smelly, dirty toilets with broken toilet seats. Bar staff aren’t friendly…it misses the welcoming touch you’d want from a pub. The last thing I’d want is the cutter to be modernised, I love its old pub charm, but it needs a deep clean and some TLC!! Owners potentially getting complacent and over relying on the location to keep customers returning?

We visited on Saturday and was very dissapointed in the service. Asked for the table to be cleaned and it never happened so asked again. Food arrived with no utensils and waited 10 mins for someone to bring them whilst food was going cold. No serviettes felt like we were neglected whilst a private party was taking place.

Popped in here for a coffee after a nice walk with the dog. We didn't eat anything this time but we will next time we are here. Very friendly greeting by a lovely young lady. Ordered two cappuccinos and sat outside on the front looking at the river. Didn't have long to wait for the young lady to bring them out to us. The coffee was delicious and tasty. They do have a great reputation for food and drink 🍻. Well worth a visit any day.

Inconsistent sums this place up. We visited here a month ago and had a really good lunch (on a Saturday) We returned for Sunday lunch at the weekend and it was not good. My daughter had the burger and it was as tough as a hockey puck! So had to wait for a replacement not ideal especially being diabetic and had already had her insulin. The roast beef had a tang to it and my whole plate was covered in gravy think it was primarily school when I last had gravy put on for me, perhaps done to warm the lest than hot meal? Yes they knocked the burger off the bill and offered free desserts, which we declined! If you can’t get a burger right you have major issues!

Nice enough looking place by the water, reasonable drink selection. Unfortunately the food wasn't very good. Started off with having lipstick on my fork. I know lipstick is notorious for not coming off in a dishwasher, but surely should have been seen when laying the table. Starters - kids haloumi fries - they're bought in. Calamari, looked bought in frozen. Korean fried chicken, chicken dry as camel hoof, with a slimy, soggy covering of some kind of half-fried flour. Sauce on the side. Looked a mess, tasted worse. Mains - kids fish and chips, that was good. Kids beef burger, same. Steak and ale pie - standard, bought in pie. Drinks Aperol Spritz - thrown together, and not in the correct proportion. Not even stirred. Beer - choice of three ales. They were good. Service was friendly enough. Overall, nice venue - very budget food and not very budget prices. I'd go again for drinks, but wouldn't order food.

A group of 15 people. We pre ordered everything from a set Sunday menu. It took 1 hour 45 minutes to be served. Drinks took 30 mins from arrival. Set menu price was not on the bill, additional 30 minutes to get a manager to rectify. Overall food was ok, when it finally arrived, atmosphere was ok, was terrible!! Server claimed party of 30 upstairs causing delay but surely the pub knew they were coming and could have staffed appropriately.

Sometimes you should just stick to what you’re good at. £94 for 4 people was excruciating, the quality and service was awful. Two very uninterested staff served us up really poor vegetarian food. I sew pie and mash on other tables and that looked ok. If it’s vegetarian food your after don’t go here. Price/quality just isn’t there, everything came out of a packet and tin.

Wow. Just fabulous. We researched a lot of locations to eat out whilst on a short visit to Ely and kept coming back to this one. We were not disappointed. We were fortunate enough to be seated with a view out across the Great Ouse river and Ely Marina. Our waitress Alice was fabulous, from her warm and friendly welcome to her professional efficiency in ensuring we had a fantastic and memorable experience. The food was served promptly, there was plenty of it but more importantly it tasted fabulous. I can’t recommend visiting this restaurant highly enough.

8 of us booked . First had to ask for a menu as no one came around we order all different things from the menu but no one was pleased with what they got . The plates were so sparse ! Vegetarian burger and chips was just that ! A small burger and a few chips on the side . Gammon and chips the same etc etc very expensive for such small portions. Most of the staff wasn’t that friendly just not really an enjoyable night out . Have previously had a roast dinner in there and enjoyed the pie but the rest of the menu I / we would bother with again .

Change your chef! Was violently ill on Saturday after eating here. Chicken shawarma… tahini sauce had no tahini, garlic or lemon as per menu. Asked for more and told to bring my plate back in. Not served on mid Eastern bread but on a greasy Indian style nan. I suspect it was either the soft hardly pickled pickles or chicken that made me sick. Only ate half as chicken also too dry. Big shame, fantastic setting and most staff serving were on their game.

NOT GOOD... and nearly £7 for a Guinness. RIP OFF... our first time here and will be our last... wife was in tears... at nearly £78 for 3 dinners.... SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF YOURSELVES....

Beautiful location by the river side but unfortunately the food we ordered can only be described as poor. The triple cooked chips were basic oven style chips slightly undercooked and the curry sauce was watery and tasteless. The meze board was poor also .. a handful of olives with a toasted pita bread a spoonful of houmus and some cold mushrooms not in anyway pickled … such a shame we didn’t read the reviews before we went but fortunate not to have paid the expensive price of a main course . Please take note this food is very unwelming overpriced and poor to say the least . Have a drink and enjoy the scenery but then move on somewhere decent for food !

**TOURIST TRAP** Great location which has the potential to be a lovely spot. However this location is severely let down by its food and drink offerings. There is no wonder the staff do not come around and ensure everything is “ok” with your food. Drink prices I can accept for the location. However what cannot be accepted is the quality and cost of the food. £18 for a fish and chips with what looked to be an inner sole flash fried and some raw chips. I have sympathies to the young staff who are left to man this pub on what was a quiet Monday lunchtime, so not even a busy period can be blamed. I would steer well clear of this and find other offerings in the town. Resisting the need for a nice location. I hope this review spurs the management on to make improvements as opposed to cashing in on their location on the front. It has the potential to be a real draw for Ely.

Very disappointed with the food we had. The fish (part of the fish and chips plate) was dry, crunchy and what was left of the fish was chewy. There was very little fish and a lot of batter.

Trying to lose weight, so ordered the ham salad. What a disappointment, I expected a couple of slices of ham with a salad, what I got was a bowl of lettuce, a few cherry tomatoes, 3 olives, a couple of splash’s of avocado and you needed a magnifying glass to see the ham as it was chopped up so small. The price of £17.50 was vastly overpriced. I have been before on several occasions and the food has definitely gone down hill. I would seriously think about going back

We have been here years ago and came back because we had a good experience back then. Things have changed. Prices up food quality rock bottom. My wife order pie with mash which should have come with seasonable veg. The seasonable veg turned out to be cooked cabbage (in June). The pie was nothing to write home about and as good as those you buy in a supermarket. I ordered the Mexican buttermilk chicken burger which the menu said included avocado. I received 2 bits of battered deep fried chicken in a bun. Looking for the avocado I discovered a thin layer of guacamole which was so thin you couldn’t taste it and a few other small leaves of salad. There was absolutely nothing Mexican about this burger and quite frankly, a chicken burger from McDonalds would have tasted better. The fries were fried that had not gone off just yet but should have been replaced. I am normally not somebody to quickly leave bad reviews but this was so bad that I justified the effort. Very poor experience,

Parents had a mezze board and the falafel was hard too, but the staff were very apologetic and refunded us for the entire dish which was above and beyond. Everything else was delicious, including the Thai style prawns and ploughman's lunch.

My family and I returned to the great experience that is The Cutter Inn, yet again! We celebrated the graduation of one of our children, an event repeated last year and Kirsty and staff didn't disappoint with a lovely dinner for 15. Given the late evening request, not unlike last year, the Cutter Inn & staff executed a perfect evening! All of our meal selections were very delicious, excellently prepared, appropriately portioned, and abundant. We were seated in the large dining room near the river and that made for a wonderful view. Kirsty and her staff were very attentive, courteous, expeditious in serving and a delight. The Filet/Ribeye were perfectly prepared, the desserts such as the salted chocolate caramel brownie, apple crumble, and especially the sticky toffee pudding, were spot on. One of our guests is a culinary chef and she stated the meals were excellently prepared and superbly delicious. We had a wonderful evening, made memorable by Kirsty and staff, and I would definitely recommend them to others.

I’ve eaten at the bar, restaurant and come here for drinks all on different occasions. The pub is one of the easiest pubs to access from the south side of the city. It has off road parking with 20 spaces or so. On the the occasion that the parking is full, there is limited parking on the roads near by ( depending on the time of day ) The venue is adaptable in food options available to you either with a higher end restaurant or just good pub grub.

My mother, husband and I visited the Cutter Inn in Ely on Sunday for Sunday lunch. On arrival the staff were very friendly and we were advised that we had a table allocated upstairs. We have been seated upstairs before several times over the years and all had previously been fine. On this occasion, it felt like everyone seated upstairs was an after thought. The tables hadn't been set in the same way as they had been downstairs as we walked through. We were seated at our table and asked if we would like some water for the table. We replied, yes please but also asked for sparkling as well as tap water. That lady never came back to us, but another waitress arrived with the tap water. I asked about the sparkling water and she said she didn't know about it and would have to go and ask. We gave her the drinks orders for my mum and husband and off she went. She came back with a large bottle of sparkling water and so I asked her to change it for a small one. Off she went again down the stairs and came back with a small bottle. We asked for menus so off she went again downstairs to get the menus (you get the drift of this farce), it was as if they were just unprepared for us sitting upstairs, even though we had booked well in advance. They eventually came to take our food order. The food came. My husband and mother's food was fine as they had ordered other dishes from the a la carte menu whereas I had chosen the roast beef Sunday lunch. When it arrived the meal look insipid, no colour whatsoever on the roast potatoes or roast parsnips, they were both still hard, the roast beef had the most peculiar taste and the gravy was as weak as water. This is the worst Sunday lunch I have ever had to be honest and really not up to standard. The whole experience was shambolic to say the least. I will not be having Sunday lunch at the Cutter again, which is a shame, as we have been many times over many years and never had any problems. The service was just dreadful.

A great location by the river and nice ambience, however the service was slow and protracted. We were a party of six and for each course, the food for everyone didn’t come out together. We had to ask the waiter for things that should have come with the meal. The food itself was satisfactory and did not reflect the price . The restaurant need to significantly reduce their prices if they are going to serve pub food at restaurant prices.

Very friendly and helpful staff. Decor and ambience very nice particularly the restaurant. Toilets very clean, always important! Food very good. I had Gammon, Egg and Chunky Chips. My husband chose the steak and ale pie with mash and veg and gravy. Both meals were hot, tasty and perfect and service was prompt. Price wise is consistent to everywhere else so no quibbles. View across the river is lovely. Perfect spot to celebrate our anniversary. Thank you x

A fabulous meal, great service and a lovely setting, we’ll definitely be back. Big shout out to the steak and the ploughman’s starter is sensational (just make sure you’re hungry!!).

We came for Easter weekend and have eaten in the cutter for the last 3 days and have enjoyed the wonderful seafood platters and also all food we have had there has been lovely.staff are wonderful and friendly really can't fault them. We have a canal boat in Ely for the last 5 years and really would recommend people try this gastro pub.

Scrambled eggs on toast I expected nice food here, garden centre cafes tend to serve nice food, however the Eggs were cooked in the microwave, rubbery and tasteless, it’s not difficult so scramble an egg in a pan now is it.

We visited 3 Nov. Good Coffe & lovely service from 2 young ladies , but spoilt by rude & sarcastic service from a middle aged bleach blonde lady who thought my daughters allergies & concerns were irrelevant. My daughter had a reaction & queried the contents of the product with the lady who was rude & dismissed her concern & sarcastically asked if she wanted an ambulance! A simple query that was appallingly dealt with. Not good enough, do better.

Staff Layla and Lou are very nice and welcoming and smiley, overall atmosphere of the pub is extremely homely and makes you forget all your worries and relax.

Good location for Newmarket, poor service. The rooms are outside in the car park & are small but clean & modern. Lots of noise potential when busy. Service lacklustre. Expensive for what you get.
