The Elm Tree Inn in Fenland

Had a lovely meal but the service was very slow, had to wait 20 minutes for desert, we noticed other people got theirs within about 5 minutes.

A lovely Sunday lunch with family. Meat and potatoes were delicious. As general feedback though I would say for the price though we would have liked some more vegetables on our plates. Also found it a little cheeky we were charged when we asked for some crackling with the roast pork... thought it was something they could have done as a favour. Generally though it was a lovely meal out

Wonderful Sunday lunch ! Wisbech was half way for our friends so we randomly picked this gem of a pub! From the lovely smiley young ladies behind the bar , to lovely decor & delicious food it was awesome! Defo recommended. 4 of us all thoroughly enjoyed our roast dinners & puddings !

Could not fault the meal! You will wait for a bit after your order is taken but its well worth the wait. Staff are attentive and friendly. We will definitely return.

It.s been a few years since I last visited The Elm Tree, as the service has never been the best, although the food has always been good. I have to say, it was a very pleasant surprise to find everything has improved - it,s been refurbed to a high spec, and the service is much improved. Only a couple off suggestions for improvements - it would be nice to be to,d by our server their name, so I can name them and praise them, and staff should know what the soup of the day is before shift, and ensure everything on the menu is available, without having to check with the kitchen, the food was great - something for everyone, with a good choice of old favourites, and some different dishes to try. We will be back. Thank you for a fantastic visit.

Booked for the Christmas menu for five of us and thoroughly enjoyed the food and the venue. Good atmosphere, friendly service, plenty of space around the tables and the food was excellent. Thank you

Attended last night for the Xmas set meal with a party of 20 people. The restaurant had another large party in attendance on the same evening. The prawn and smoked salmon starter was amazing and the roast beef perfect. Considering how many people were dining, the service was fantastic. Everyone enjoyed their meals and the presentation superb. Highly recommended and we will certainly be visiting again!

The food was lovely, disappointed the restaurant was not busy, and the bar closed at 10?. When you look at reviews I thought it would be booked up, but recommend if you wanted an early meal.

Fantastic find. We went as a party of 11 for Sunday lunch & couldn't fault the food or service. The staff were lovely and the whole thing was an excellent experience. You should definitely book because It got very busy, so the word has obviously got out what a gem of a place this is.

Nice quiet restaurant for a meal with friends. Nice atmosphere. Greeted with a friendly smile. Table for four well presented. Wide choice on menu that met all our needs. Quality of food excellent. Freshly prepared and beautifully presented. Generous portions . Attentive service checking regularly. Delicious deserts

Food and service was great!!! Really enjoyed 🤩🤩🤩 chef Manisha prepare amazing steak 😋 Thank Sophi and Olivia dor this amazing service. We definitely coming back.

We had a nice meal tonight and both meals were tasty. Would recommend and would take other family members there even the ones from london ( they expect a lot from restaurants). Can't see kids menu so this would prevent whole family going.

Lovely restaurant. Attentive staff. Beautiful food. Couldn't improve on the experience. A perfect lunch.

Another fantastic meal in a place that is attentive without being intrusive, food that is cooked and served perfectly and without fussiness. Amazing flavours, cooked exactly as requested, and served excellently and promptly.

Not knowing the area booked by search engine. Lunch menu fab. Fish and chips best ever, butcher’s sausages meaty and very tasty. My vegan risotto amazing, a real surprise to have something other than a lasagne. Definitely would recommend and we will certainly go again.

Living so close to this lovely pub this was the first time trying it. I was so impressed with the pub its decor was lovely the food was outstanding and the service was brilliant! Everything was resonably priced. Will definitely return to the Elm Tree without a doubt. Thank you! 19th October 2023

We had lunch at Elm Tree Inn yesterday . The food is so nice. We loved onion pagoda , Chicken masala . We had great time over there and the cheese cake was cherry on top.

had lunch here and the food was amazing . We had teryaki chicken and rice also order chicken wings, finished with the tasty cheese cake. The experience about food is great.

This is a really lovely pub/restaurant. Nice friendly staff. Great food. Compliments to the chef. My husband had steak which was cooked medium, just as he asked. I had chicken marsala. Which again was great. This place, in our view, is the best in Wisbech. My only complaint would be that the place was a bit too cool. I like to be warm and, with the cooler nights, it would have been nice to see the fire lit. Which makes it look so cosy and draws people in.

Amazing food, great service really enjoyed my meal! Food service was really quick i would definitely recommend.

Excellent service 👏 Great food 👌 👍 Really enjoyed the atmosphere and great stuff service. Definitely recommend!👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

Bank Holiday Monday family get together. We only see each other a few times a year so we enjoy eating out together when we can. Having studied the website to find the chef had trained with Marco Pierre White, the food menu looked OK, with an extensive wine list and cocktails on offer, we thought we were onto a winner. Cat-fished is the only expression that springs to mind..... As a tradition, we like to arrive about an hour before the table so we can all catch up and enjoy a drink prior to our meal. Ordered a cocktail only to be told by the lady that she cant make all of them as she hasn't been trained. It all went downhill from there....... We had to sit ourselves down at a table we presumed was for our party as only one member of staff was working behind the bar and on the restaurant floor, bear in mind this is bank holiday monday and people are flowing through the door at a steady pace..... Tom then turned up to take our food order, which thankfully, due to his upbeat personality and high level of service redeemed the experience, but only slightly. Without him we would have probably left due to the incapability of this establishment. Slow service, forgotten drinks, dirty plates left on tables (all due to the lack of staff) the entire experience was just a struggle to get through. Food was mediocre, if Marco had seen what was being served he would have wondered why his training hadn't been put to better use. Macaroni & Cheese was just abysmal, no taste or favour, desserts were also inedible, dry brownie and flat sticky Toffee pudding. Its a big no from us, avoid at all costs!!! Tom - you are wasted here, our only hope is you get snapped up by someone/somewhere who can see and use your full potential. Being from the hospitality industry myself, I understand how hard the industry has been hit since covid, however, that isn't an excuse for this establishment. Its simply appalling management (appalling in the sense there just isn't any) rubbish food and young adults doing their best for minimum wage no doubt.

Visited the Elm tree in on 25/8 for a company get together. Approx 20 of us sat and ate burgers / chicken / pork / kebabs and sausages all cooked from the outdoor BBQ. All this was accompanied with a range of salads and chips. The quality of the meat was superb, and cooked perfectly. Will defiantly be returning to try other parts of the menu.

Last night, 24th August 2023 was the first time we had visited the Elm Tree Inn, we were not disappointed. On arrival we were given a warm welcome. We had booked a table which was just as well as it was busy in the restaurant part of the Inn. The atmosphere was warm and friendly and the two young people serving were very knowledgeable and professional. We had a starter and main meal both were really good. My partner was very pleased with the Fillet Steak, and what luck, Thursday night is steak night with 10% off, all in all I would certainly recommend this place for a good evening meal. Another nice touch was seeing the Chef going to each table to ask if all was well.

This was the first time I had been to the Elm Tree Inn and it won't be the last . Really friendly and attentive service and the food was fresh and tasty. Very relaxing atmosphere . A gem in the fens !

Where to start, Outside the place could do with a stiff broom, window sills cleaning, weeding etc. Just a good clean up. Inside, ordered a pint of Guinness and was given the same answer as the last time we visited (about 12 months ago) its...

Had a great meal at the Elm Tree Inn. Staff were great and attentive. Food was even better especially the steak. We tend to eat out most Saturdays and this was one of the best meals we have had for many months. Highly recommeded.

A great lunch today. Great service by an excellent waiter. He was a credit to the company. Well done. Will recommend.

What a disappointing evening. Waited almost an hour for curry and rice. When I asked how long it was going to be, was told booked tables take priority. There was only 3 tables eating, so hardly rushed off their feet. When the food eventually arrived,...

We had lunch here with friends and it was excellent! We chose to sit with some drinks on comfy chairs for a while before going to our table. Staff were all friendly and attentive. All 3 courses of our meals were delicious, well presented and...

Although we are local to the area, this was our first visit to the Elm Tree since it has been refurbished. Very clean and pleasant decor. The food was amazing, presentation was excellent. Staff very helpful and friendly. Will certainly visit again and recommend The...

The new menu is great. Good vegetarian/ vegan options. Yet for us meat eaters, the daily special, beef filet mignon was absolutely perfect.

Stopped for lunch and all food was lovely, friendly attentive staff and kids loved the playground. Thank you.

Absolutely great customer service from Jimmy, friendly polite staff. The Inn was clean inside and out and the food was so tasty. Had a piña colada cocktail that had vanilla in and tasted so good. Also if you like chicken wings, Jimmy's chicken wings are...

A fantastic meal, superbly cooked steaks exactly as asked for. Superb tastes and flavours on all the food. Quiet, relaxed and a very chilled eating area. An absolute Gem that is now a firm favourite. Highly recommended.

Stayed over with Work on a Friday. We were made to feel extremely welcome, the rooms were nice and clean, cocktails beautiful. The evening meal was gorgeous and Tom was so friendly and helpful throughout. Even managing to get one of my colleagues a starter...

Picked this place at random as it was halfway between my friend and me. Sunday lunch was delicious and plentiful. Don’t forget a pudding! The staff were very friendly and kind. Prices were very reasonable too.

Our short stay at the Elm Tree Inn started with a very warm welcome. The room was exactly as pictured, spacious, well appointed and very comfortable. The locals in the bar area were also very friendly. We were extremely well looked after and made to...

Had a lovely unexpected meal here. After a long day with 3 young children we searched for somewhere to eat and came across this little gem. We were warmly welcomed into a beautiful upmarket restaurant and the staff (Chris and Tom) gave an above and...

After reading the reviews we had high hopes that we would really enjoy our lunch. Instead we had an extremely disappointing experience from start to finish. 8 of us arrived at the bar and could hardly be missed but not one of the 3 bar...

A lovely pub with welcoming friendly staff, stayed in one of the rooms, which was lovely, comfortable and clean, I would highly recommend this place.

With two coeliac their understanding of our needs is never underappreciated. Food is always magnificent. Its a great choice for a treat.

We had a lunchtime meal with friends and it was excellent. After a drink in the bar where we saw the menus and ordered our food, we were shown to our table. Food was served fresh and hot and there was a good choice. The...

Stayed for one night here and staff very helpful, dinner excellent, good car park, fast free wifi, spacious room. Only downside was chairs, table and bed in room all very low to floor…very odd? But overall a good place to break a journey or have...

What a lovely place. The staff, Tom and manager Jimmy, were so polite and helpful; making sure everything was alright with the meal and asking if there was anything else I needed, but just the right amount of times so it didn’t feel like I...

We had booked a table for Thursday night not knowing that it was Steak night but enjoyed 2 sirloin steaks at a very good price. The steaks were cooked beautifully as per our requests and served with chunky chips along with some lovely mushrooms. We...

Excellent service & food. Food was delicious, big thanks to the chef. Staff are very attentive and make sure you have everything you need or want. Big thanks to all the staff

Me and my friend decided to go out for a roast dinner this Sunday and we were beyond happy with choosing The Elm Tree Inn! The food was cooked perfectly and it was just the right size to leave us nice and full. The atmosphere...

Nice decor, friendly staff and really tasty food, we had two courses each and a bottle of wine, the starters (prawns and hummus with bread) were really good and we didn’t have to wait long, the mains (steak and risotto) were very enjoyable, this all...

a relative stayed over holiday period for couple of days ,could not do food for residents not even a breakfast !! WTF to busy ..bacon egg etc 5 minutes lol

Booked for the 7th or 8th Xmas lunch here, not sure which as lost count eons ago. Covid was a slight hiatus but otherwise continuous. Took my wife, my mother & a friend for a 12:30 Xmas Day lunch. Fairly busy but recognised as a...

Great overnight stay , well furnished apartment style accommodation with good size en-suite Clean, warm and cozy The staff were super helpful and the breakfast the following morning super tasty

We won't be back! Don't bother, they just cancel your order and it's OK as you can wait for your refund

My parents favourite restaurant & they take all visitors & family here. The food is super. Varied menu, food fresh & tasty . Friendly, warm staff with chef coming to check we were happy with our meals - just a lovely place to eat.

Booked this restaurant as a midway point between North Norfolk and North Bedfordshire. Went on a Wednesday and pretty quiet so didn't need to book after all. Friendly guys at the bar and taking the order. Had drinks and went to the table to eat....

The Elm Tree is about 200 yards from our house, so I’m not sure what we don’t go more often. We went last week to celebrare my birthday and had a very good meal. My wife had fish and chips, and said that the chips...

Excellent meal tonight at the Elm tree. Starters were very nice, pâté & chicken satay Steak & risotto for our mains were very tasty Staff very attentive Would totally recommend & have booked for Xmas Thank you for a great evening

The restaurant has like many others increased prices. No problem with that, times are tough. However, the restaurant was the best in the area for food quality and always provided a great meal. In the last while there has been a noticeable drop in quality...

Very impressed with the service and the food tonight. I had the Tiger Prawns to start, very fresh and lovely salad to match, great start!! I then had the Chicken Teriyaki meal as the main. The chicken was fresh and the flavours of the noodles...

OK it's local, but to be fair we very rarely eat in the village. Went to the Elm Tree tonight and it really does warrant a review. Lovely service from the girl at the bar, acknowledging us before being able to serve us, always a...

Stopped for lunch, for the price the chunky chips were properly chunky and the steak good. Staff are friendly and efficient too, and the place is spotlessly clean. This is somewhere that is slightly hidden away, but certainly worth coming to

Food was amazing!!! Beautifully presented, tasted amazing and piping hot. My husband had the Teriyaki chicken in a lentil basket something he had never tried before and loved it!!! I like my steak blue not something restaurants like 2 do these days, but!!! mine was...

Went here for mothers day and have to say it was faultless, we all had a 3 course meal and it was amazing. One of the best roast iv had, even my fussy brother loved it. 100% will be back.

Wow love it here…❤️ Never disappointed Great location with lovely seating inside & outside Great happy staff A vast menu with loads of choices to suit all requirements x Delicious food, ambience x A must try as I highly recommend 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

I called in here one evening with my laptop to do some work and asked for a nice quiet corner and the staff were very helpful. The food was fantastic with a great choice on offer and all home cooked. I couldn't even manage a...

Lovely Inn great decor and food was excellent. Really good attentive service as well. Good value also. Highly recommend

The pork ribs were probably the meatiest that I've ever had - and very tasty! The cauliflower and red onion bhaji was a real winner and an excellent example of the imagination and attention to detail of the chef!

Excellent food, excellent value for money, such friendly staff, very clean restaurant, highly recommend this restaurant. We love coming over!

Great little place! We enjoyed a night here yesterday. We had never been and had occasion to stay to pick up a new puppy in the area. The staff were fantastic. Particular call out to Jasmin and the chef. Both could not have been more...

Noticed the reviews on Trip Advisor reviews, we went late October on a Saturday, delightful meal for two quality salmon and quality meals wouldnt hesitate in recommending. Went back midweek in November the meals were really poor we ordered exactly the same meals and the...

We have been to the Elm Tree before but only for drinks. This time it was weekend lunch starting with prawns and then an excellent salmon dish. Friendly service and good ale as well. Not that easy to find as it's hidden away from the...

Excellent gastro-pub with modern arty decor and everywhere very clean and smart. The food is truly top-notch and the staff friendly and cheerful. We both had chicken satay skiers as starter, teriyaki chicken for main, and the best cheesecake we’ve had for desert. The prices,...

Travelled from Norwich to meet friends from Northamptonshire at the Elm Tree. We try to find venues equidistant for both parties to lunch. This is certainly a place we will return to. All the staff were very helpful and friendly. The food was excellent. We...

This restaurant is absolutely fantastic, greeted by exceptionally polite staff, and the food is by far the best we've had in along time, met the chef too fantastic! Definitely going back for more.

Ok thought it was time for another up to date review. In these strange times of Covid , Brexit and now fuel shortages, I thought it only fair to comment on the Elm Tree. I personally stay here and eat twice a week, every week...

Great food, excellent Greatvfood, excellent service, very pleasant server with a sense of humour, we enjoyed our evening, only reason for loss of one star was they ran out of fish of the day and ciabatta, will definately return

We arrived at 7:15pm and waited ages for drinks order to be taken and over an hour for starters to arrive. When the starters arrived the chicken wings weren’t cooked properly, so we left… so I can’t tell you what the rest of the food...

The service was excellent and all the staff were friendly The Sunday roasts that we had were all exceedingly very good There were 3 of us in our party and one was vegetarian who had the vegetarian roast and she said it was the best...

This is a little gem on the edge of town. The meal was excellent ( I would recommend the Chicken Teryaki ). We also had great service from the staff too. We stayed overnight and the hotel was comfortable for the price. Would recommend!

This is an excellent restaurant. We popped in here on the final day of our holiday and had a great time. The staff were really friendly and the food was amazing. Would definitely be back if in the area

First time here, I booked the restaurant for our 30th wedding Anniversary. We were limited where we could go as it was a Tuesday and not many places open on that day, so read the reviews and thought we’d try here. We were not disappointed...

We went to the Elm Tree Inn for Sunday lunch. The food was exceptional. Staff were great and we left feeling really happy that we stumbled across this wonderful establishment. Keep up the good work!!!

Meal for 20 people for our daughter's Wedding. Such a lovely venue with good polite & professional staff. Food was so delicious & would thoroughly recommend. Well done to the chefs 👨‍🍳🙌

Absolutely FABULOUS ❤️ Wow much more than I expected… I eat out a lot and I wanted a special meal to share with my friends x A really good choice as everything was superb x

Great little stay, parking lots of it, rooms tucked away nice and modern. Food great and good selection of drinks, very reasonable for the cost. Poor WiFi

Spent 7 nights here, as attending a retirement do in the area so we thought we'd extend our stay a visit places in Norfolk and Cambridgeshire. Very welcoming staff at the hotel which is hidden amongst a sea of houses, so it doesn't sit on...

I stay here once a week on business, all I can ask for really, lovely clean room plenty of toiletries and well stocked tea and coffee. Food is superb, I’ve eaten here for the last 6 weeks evening meal and full English breakfast. All fresh...

First time out for a meal since lockdown and my husband a table forjust the 2 of us. We both ordered the rump steak and it was the best we have ever had. The restaurant was nicely decorated and the service was impeccible. We only...

Visited this place when I was down for work. Had a really good atmosphere and the service was great. Ellie in particularly was such a lovely waitress. Very helpful on information for the local area and very friendly.

The yorkshire puddings were burnt, the roast potato were not. The brussel sprouts would have made breaking glass easy. When i told the waitress she said would tell them, nothing was said back to me. On the whole i would not recommend it.

We have been to this pub a few times but feel it must have changed hands recently as the food on the last couple of occasions has been amazing. Really good food, good menu. Takes a while to get to your table but I prefer...

Could not have had better service. All of the staff was really lovely and made our visit a great visit and so was food well worth a trip.

The food was amazing and the restaurant was clean and covid safe. The portions were generous as well as being well cooked and very tasty. The waiting staff were friendly and willing but could with a bit more training. Table was not fully cleared of...

Booked table 7.15 Food was very good and people were friendly, got A free beer because food was very slow to the table and there don’t look to be any COVID 19 rules at all. Think they all gone out the window with test and...

We visited the Elm Tree for dinner with family. The food was delicious. The staff were friendly and attentive. Clear precautions were in place so you felt comfortable while having your meal. I had the creamy risotto with asparagus, garlic bread, pesto and salad. I'd...

We visited this evening and booked a table for 7pm. We eventually sat down at 8.20pm for food which we had to order from the bar as we were forgotten about at a table in the bar area as they were concentrating on the restaurant....

Good food. Excellent value for money and very friendly staff. With new rules in place feel very safe visiting due COVID-19. Highly recommended. Thanks to all you staff

Under the current circumstances, it’s difficult to write a fair review. It’s great that the Elm Tree is offering a take away service but the menu is quite limited, primarily wraps and burgers. On Saturday, my wife had fish and chips and I had the...

Well to be honest I don't know where to start...... arrived for a friends birthday bash had a drink in the bar and was taken through to our table. Service in fair was pretty good. Starters arrived and my friend found what can only be...

It has taken me a while to get around to writing this review. Four of us went here on New Year's Eve for a meal. Initially OK well decorated and a good selection of cask ale. However things went downhill from then on. The service...
