The Dolphin in South Cambridgeshire

Great service and quick bite. I was in a rush and phoned up to ask for a table and to place order. The person I spoke to was really friendly and put the order through so my mum and I could eat quickly and make it to an appointment. Staff are all friendly, and it’s a good local for a drink and cheap eat.

Always polite friendly staff, food has always been lovely, Good atmosphere, just what a village pub should be. 10/10

Nachos aren't as good as they used to be. Chicken tacos are too spicy.

Love this pub . Fairly local to me . My sister in law and I always used to come here for lunch on a Friday . Not been for a while , but popped in last week . Had my favourite lasagne . Piping hot , generous portion and gorgeous chips . Staff are great , chatty and really look after us . Paula and Danielle were lovely Thank you all Have a great Christmas xx

It was the half way point for a family Christmas meal and we didn’t know what to expect. The food was lovely and the staff were very friendly. Both the meat eaters and veggie’s enjoyed their meals. Great atmosphere.

Absolutely amazing service, staff were all friendly and checked everything was okay with the meals. The food with had came out quickly and tasted delicious, such a lovely atmosphere and decorated beautifully.

We went in a group of 15 friends for the Christmas festive meal. We all enjoyed our lunch. The staff were very attentive. The table was very attractively laid with crackers and poppers. A good way to start the festive season.

Please please do not waste your time and money!!! This place is a joke the staff are rude the food is microwaved I complained and it seemed like it was my fault 🤦‍♂️?? The landlady and another lady with curly haired were rude and disrespectful!!!! I’ve been in a lot of Greene king pubs and this one is the most discussing the toilets stank the bench seats are ripped the bar was so sticky my top stuck to it people were swearing 🤬!!!!! To be honest the pub was that dead it was like a morgue. If I was Greene king I would cut their losses and knock it down and build houses like the Star did!!!!! Many thanks Dave T

The dolphin do lots of events and I attended the Karaoke on Friday night and it was brilliant! Pub was busy, lots of amazing singers and good selection of drinks. Had fun with friends. Can’t wait for the next one.

We waited 50 minutes for the food which was poor. My husband returned his burger and the sweetcorn was reheated and soggy.

Good food and great service. Large car park with 3 EVCP

Great food and service. Two sports screens on at the time. Families were welcome.

The pub was in a quiet village with a good sized car park. We received a good welcome from the friendly landlord before trying a new to me beer which was excellent. When our friends arrived we ordered food. Pies for us and steak and chips and lasagne for them. All very good as was the wine.All in all a very enjoyable visit and we shall return.

Ordered pensioners special. Soup to start, then fish and chips. Waitress brought out the cutlery - spoon and fork, and knife and fork. With the comment that I probably wouldn't want both meals together. Soup and bread were fine, but butter was almost frozen, so couldn't spread on the bread. Fish and chips followed - fish was hot, but chips and mushy peas were only just warm. So they obviously intended to serve both courses together and then kept the fish and chips under the lamps. So I was disappointed.!!

Always going to the Dolphin pub, great friendly people, Dean and Donna are a team super. Fabulous food and smiles behind the bar ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

It's the second time I've been here with my Grandson for lunch. Good food at reasonable prices. Friendly staff and good atmosphere.

Great place to eat team were very helpful and very attentive. Would definitely return and recommend The Dolphin. Thank you for such a great evening with my family

We attended the Paint a Pot evening at The Dolphin, we booked in with our son who has adhd and social anxiety. The staff were absolutely amazing at the pub, they showed him round to his table to check he was ok where he had been booked to sit, they came over and checked on him during the evening, they even contacted the company Glazed Creations for a particular piece of pottery for him. Which was a hit. Nothing was too much trouble. He obviously felt comfortable in his environment as he completed 2 pieces of pottery. We also ate at the pub, which as usual was lovely. He already wants to book in for the next event. Massive thank you to The dolphin team, and too the lovely ladies from glazed creations.

Went for a lovely event of pottery painting with Glazed Creations. Staff were wonderful. Have had food here before as well and it's good value grub

Visited on saturday early evening with my husband and kids We ordered off the main menu and had 2 meals for £14.49 My husband had the fish and I had salt and pepper chicken Both came out beautifully presented, hot, fresh and smelt amazing The bar was very busy but we didn’t wait too long considering there was 5/6 other tables eating and ordering too High praise to Vic in the kitchen, my husband said his fish was better than the Fish and Chip shop!

Had a great time at Doggie Cafe.

Called in Dolphin recently as I was passing through Melbourn, and just fancied something to eat. The service good and friendly, and the food was good too, and served pretty quickly, will definitely be going back.

This pub is great. It is the only one in the village that serves food all day every day and the standard of food is amazing. We visit a few times a week and are always greeted warmly by the lovely staff. Unfortunately there are one or two regulars that spoil our experience. They don't seem to have any control of their children. I've overheard them many times running the place down. I wonder why they keep coming in if they think it's that bad! This doesn't put us off coming here though as the other customers and the staff more than make up for this.

Great food - prompt service We had burgers, pies, steaks, lasagne and gammons - all perfectly cooked and served promptly. Proper suet jam roly poly was lovely as was lava cookies

First time eating food with the new so called chief,the chicken was raw and totally had not probed, service is very slow,bar staff very unwell coming and never behind the bar.

The pub is run down and the food took over an hour to come out and was poor quality. Would not recommend.

I came in on Friday and there was a funeral, we had a drink and all seemed ok till I went to the toilet and could clearly hear someone in the toilet tapping away the snorting something. Clearly what I thought bas the state of her the rest of the day and she didn’t do it just once. We then came in Sunday evening and a man clearly wanted a fight he tried to pick on some young boy, table and glasses broken as the boys father stepped into help his son, the young girl behind the bar was on her own which is awful when they clearly have a landlady that don’t care much and her son is the assistant manager.they are clearly cut from the same cloth . Lazy and dirty looking. I will be emailing green king about this to as it’s not the first time I’ve witnessed things and she is no where to be seen, disgusting behaviour for a landlady to leave a young girl to deal with this and she lives above the pub. The glasses getting broken and table knocked over could be heard inside so she would have heard it upstairs’,she needs to hang up her hat and give the job to someone that would bring the pub up a bit , emailing green king now

Great pub and venue. With a large garden. There is also good space for parking

Nice Place very relaxing and friendly

Lovely friendly pub. We had lasagne. It was home cooked by Alfie and delicious . Donna who served us was attentive and friendly. Would highly recommend.

What a lovely pub. Very friendly staff and locals. Manager was happy for me to park my motorhome in the carpark to stay overnight. I had drinks and food and watched the England - Netherlands semi final UAFA match along with the very busy pub. Manager is going to add the pub to Park4nite app for those of us in campers or motorhomes who like a pub stop over. There is a large beer garden, children’s play area and the pub is dog friendly. I highly recommend The Dolphin.

Popped in yesterday for lunch with friends We had booked a table the day before and we were told of a big table in at lunch and we came in before them to get served quicker. Our food came out hot and tasty, and we were so happy with the service. The big table turned up afterwards and the two ladies on had their hands full, but they worked so hard to make sure we were all kept happy and attended too. The staff were friendly and made us feel well looked after We will definitely come back again Thanks Paula and Danielle

Came in yesterday with my work colleagues We had pre-ordered due to our large table. When we arrived there was a few tables in the restaurant/bar area having or waiting for food. Everything looked so good! We were served on the bar by the two ladies, who were friendly and recommended good drinks. Once seated our food wasn’t long, and everything was spot on! Hot, tasty, and fresh. Good value for money, and a nice clean place to eat. We will definitely be back, maybe on a Friday evening for a social and some more drinks (when we don’t have work lol) Thanks for having us, and filling our bellies Sorry we didn’t catch the bar staff’s names but they were great and very accommodating

Visited the Dolphin at around 1:30pm on a Thursday lunchtime for lunch and a catchup with a friend after recovering from a major operation the following week. We ordered 2 diet cokes which at an extortionate £3.85 each, for what was basically a pint of ice. We settled at our table and perused the menus which had been kindly placed on each. However, we went to order a simple scampi and chips each and were told that they were too busy to do walk-ins and that we should go elsewhere for our food. The pub was virtually empty and only 6 people were sitting in the restaurant area. Ironically one, if not all, of the bar staff were wearing tops that advertised beer and a burger. It begs the question really, why weren’t we advised when we purchased our overly expensive ice that food was not available. And also why were the menus left on each table so that we could reasonably expect food to be served? If we had been told we would have had an hour’s wait then we could have managed that but nothing was offered, apart from maybe a half-hearted apology. Very poor experience and I certainly won’t be visiting the Dolphin any time soon. Despite it being only a 10-15 minute walk from home I will use the Green Man or British Queen in future as I will be allowed to drive again very soon.

We popped here for a drink and some snacks but I was so disappointed I ordered a portion of chips and a sharing portion of nachos, the nachos came with no cheese at all maybe a little bit burnt on the bottom, and the chips had about 8 chips in the bowl that’s all. It cost me nearly £12 and we had to go McDonald’s on the way home to get the children some food, so disappointing.

Staff and patrons always welcoming. A good local.

Went for breakfast, lovely staff and a fill you up meal.

Really friendly staff. Nice atmosphere

Staff was polite and the food was nice but we could tell it was cheap ingredients and the chicken was dry but overall not to bad

On Friday 21st Jun between 1.15pm to 3.45pm, my friends and family randomly picked this lovely local pub called The Dolphin, Melbourn after attending quad biking in the area. The hospitality and service provided by Paula and Millie was wonderful and fun. Thanks for making our birthdays and day memorable and we all had a great time. The food and desserts were tasty too. Thanks again nards x

We had a great time good food, friendly staff and good value. Thanks for everything

Great pub in Melbourn Royston in Cambridgeshire. Green king pub so if you have the app great way to order to your table great beer garden plenty of space with climbing frame slides etc for the children plus football on the the TVs

Wonderful and friendly place. Paula and Danielle were great. It’s a super place for the villagers or Melbourn We will definitely be back soon

5/5 for seb and dean who were working a busy saturday on their own; they were kind, polite and professional and more than happy to help and give myself and my group good advice! 10/10 for this lovely team, thank you!

Staff freindly and fooxd very good reasonably priced

Fantastic performance. Shame about the result. Made us feel very welcome. Game of two halves. Erm UP THE ZEBS AAAAhhh 🦓🦓

Lovely pub with small kids climbing frame and large sand pit

Food was good. Make sure you eat in the restaurant area as patrons at the bar can be a bit noisy, and the language was colourful.

Nice pub with good value food - I had a voucher so that was really good value - and good service. We had a problem with 1 drink but it was corrected quickly. The monthly special burgers were very tasty.

We were in the area with friends and decided to book to eat at the Dolphin and glad we did. Great local pub where we given a warm welcome by staff as well as locals . We were shown to our table which was away from the bar area and ordered our food which when it arrived was freshly cooked and very tasty. We were looked after by staff during our meal who were lovely, making sure everything was ok and we didn't need anything. If you are in the area call into the Dolphin, you wont be disappointed, thank you Donna and Dean , we will certainly visit you again !!

Brilliant meal. Very tasty. Jacqui was a fab host and really made us feel welcome. Would definitely go again.

Staff were very friendly and helpful. The menu choice was good and the food is freshly made. It was delicious and the whole party agreed it was a good meal. The only downside is the price of drinks, but that is an issue for the brewery.

Excellent food hot good quality great price friendly service .Keep up the good work of all the staff for a village pub try really hard to keep it a great place to visit

stopped on.the way home. what a lovely welcome we had from Jacqui and Paula. The food was amazing, all came out piping hot. would highly recommend, especially for great value

What a lovely friendly pub, the landlady Jacqui was so welcoming as was Paula. The meals we had were first class as was the service. I will definitely go back if I'm in the area again. Very well worth a visit.

I Went with my family for Mother's day, the food was really good, the staff were friendly, and what was lovely at the end of the meal I was given flowers from them. Will definitely be going again

Dolphin Pub Melbourne, good clean and tidy pub Melbourne. Food was roast dinner, healthy portions. Atmosphere was good. Service a little. Slow but it gave us time to. Digest out meal.

we both had roast dinner, and it was horrible, meat was fatty, the potatoes dripping in oil, the stuffing ball was very overcooked, veg was raw and hard, gravy was very think. the only that was ok was Yorkshire pudding. will not go back on a suday

Nice food, reasonably priced. Staff all very friendly

Very pleasant meal, good food for the money and very friendly service

Excellent pub, very friendly and welcoming. Dean and Donna were great. Food was lovely and ale was fresh. Definitely visit again

Went to the dolphin for dinner and had a steak medium rare best steak I have had in ages. Compliments to the chef. Land lady makes you welcome and the bar staff are amazing.

Great place for pub grub, good atmosphere and the staff members Donna and Dean were friendly and attentive :) Will be back!

Considering it was a wake. I was made too feel very at ease. Staff were wonderful on a very sad occasion. Would recommend too anyone

Staff are so lovely and welcoming, the land lady Jackie is so nice. I wouldn’t recommend a better pub! Food is amazing too!

Such a friendly, comfortable pub. It was my first time here, with my partner, and we received a warm welcome as we walked in. The Guinness was spot on and we had two really lovely burgers. The music schedule looks really exciting. I’ll definitely be back.

Atmosphere was good, service was excellent and really friendly staff. Food was what you would expect for this type of venue, room for improvement, about the same standard as a weather spoons.

Disappointing experience, staff member had been very rude to myself and party due the duration of our meal. Insulting, being judgemental and making rude remarks to the party and myself.

Had a fantastic dinner with the family- lovely food and great service. Friendly place. Will go back again.

Lovely everything, from the welcoming atmosphere,the staff in full Xmas mode,the service, basically everything from the start, thank you so much for everyone at the Dolphin

Absolutely dreadful food, couldn’t be worse! service abysmal and put down his own team members. Definitely definitely won’t be returning.

Wonderful food fantastic staff it had real atmosphere loved the Christmas decks 😄

Cracking pub in the heart of the village. All staff and regulars are friendly and accommodating Tommy additional needs. Jacqui the manager is very approachable and always up for a laugh. I've made some right good friends here.

Fantastic local pub, with an amazing atmosphere, always a welcoming atmosphere from staff and regular customers. Great food always cooked with care and attention and a good selection of drinks available.

Been coming here for a while and the service has always been great. The food and atmosphere has always been brilliant and would recommend this pub

The Dolphin is quite easily the best pub in Melbourn and it's surrounding villages. Excellent food is available from the restaurant as well. The dolphin has a great selection of drinks, with even greater staff! All the bar staff are so friendly, and the lovely...

Real nice pub never have a bad time here Staff are great people and always make you feel welcome Come here often with my mates and definitely the nicest pub in the village and surrounding areas

Fabulous Christmas Lunch food yummy decorations lovely (really good crackers) excellent service on both bar and restaurant

Nice setting with a good atmosphere, the food was cold and tasteless at best. The miserable retirement dodging manager was extremely rude. She clearly shouldn’t be anywhere near the service industry.

Great time here at The Dolphin Great food, great time with the family. Food piping hot. Service was fab. The staff were very engaging. We shall be back Thank you

Had a very good meal and service excellent all meals came out hot the staff where great and we didn't have any problems

Best hunters chicken i have ever had.

We had a really amazing roast last Sunday at the Dolphin - plentiful portions and lots of variety on the plate. The beef was apparently cooked well and my veggie option was tasty. Lovely hot, thick gravy really finished it off nicely! Service is always very friendly there and we had a lovely time. Thank you Jacqui and the team, we’ll be back soon :)

The Dolphin is a really friendly family pub The food is amazing. Especially the steaks, cooked to order and perfect. The atmosphere is great. A good mix of regulars and first timers. The bar staff are really knowledgeable and approachable. Great value for money in my opinion

Often eat here and have to say that tonight Jackie cooked an absolutely superb mixed grill,has to be the best meal I have eaten at this pub,everything was cooked perfectly!All staff are lovely and friendly and eager to help in any way.

Lovely pub. Nice atmosphere. Staff where excellent. Food was nice and very well priced.

Great atmosphere and friendly staff Alice and Donna especially helpful and cheerful. Good selection of beers and ales and a great food menu.

Went for lunch with a good friend. Lovely atmosphere and warm welcome from the staff that was working at the time. Alice and Jackie amazing as always. Short wait time for food even with the lunch rush.

This was amazing I loved the warm and welcoming service thank you for Donna b, she was a sweetheart

A nice warm welcoming pub, the regulars are salt of the earth and willing to engage in conversation. I always have a laugh when in the pub. The food has always been on par. I'm proud to call this pub my local. A classic addition for the village.

We booked a table at The Dolphin at the weekend for dinner as we had never visited before. We won't bother again. I walked in, looking to see where my husband had sat down when a big man, who must have been a regular of...

Mixed grill? My nutsack has been nearer a grill than this chicken!

Amazing little pub love the gammon here and attending the buskers corner

Friendly efficient staff. Good food. What more can you ask for

One of the best pubs I've ever been in. The landlady I think her name is jacky is a wonderful lady with such a heart of gold. She clearly cares about all her customers and there is not one person in the pub she didn't check on. She was very friendly with all the customers and I found her easy to approach. Food is brilliant and the bar staff took my chilli allergy very seriously. Lots of community events advertised here too. A really well run pub and the barmaid is very knowledgeable of their stock.

Jacqui is great! Friendly funny atmosphere

Cool place, friendly staff, does good events

I often pop into The Dolphin for a drink and treat my boy to his favourite chicken wings and chips! The manager and staff are so friendly and helpful. I like the community/family atmosphere in there, they like to have music evenings/bank holiday weekend specials and other events to bring the community together! Looking forward to my next visit! Well done to Jackie and the team

Could have sent it back, but if the kitchen feel it’s acceptable to send this out, I fear what other corners are being cut.

Friendly staff, good food, good beer, good atmosphere. Child-friendly. Outside dining with canopy and heater, in addition to indoor dining room.
