The Farmers in Huntingdonshire

We was greeted by evie who was absolutely amazing, so friendly and made sure we had everything we needed. Service with a smile 😄 Carvery was lovely, really great first time experience will be returning! Thanks again Evie. Costumer service on point.

First time visiting and I thought it was lovely! Very nice,spacious restaurant. Quiet for a Friday night but I don't mind that. We both had carvery. I'm vegetarian and there were 3 veggie options. I had the Mediterranean tart and it was so delicious and flavoursome. The veg and potatoes on the carvery were also really good. The cauliflower cheese was delicious. The staff were all really friendly and helpful. It's a shame there's a few bad reviews as I honestly couldn't fault it...will definitely be returning!

DO NOT GO FOR CARVERY Ham was great but that was the only good part Yorkshire puds burnt on top not cooked underneath Roast pots soft Veg mediocre to say least Staff carver attitude not good very much take it or leave it Yaxley deserves better

Popped in on the walk home from my son's footy match. Got in before 12 midday & was very quiet. Had a quick pint & a hot chocolate for my boy. Was going to have a cheeky slice of cake, but it was 7.45, but it came with cream or custard!? Settled for the carvery & can't fault it as it was decent. I can see why people go as the size of their plates were huge!

The abuse you get from Arthur is first class!!!!!! So welcoming Such good food Can't fault it

Lovely place and staff were very attentive.

Vegetables broccoli was so hard u couldn't cut it parsnips burnt meat was good gravy like water no taste

Friendly but limited opening hours. Food good and reasonably priced. Plenty of parking as there was a party of us

First time having a carvery here. Food was very delicious. Very generous serving of meat. We had the beef which was very tender. Good selection of vegetables. Staff were friendly and on the ball. We were full but really wanted one of the amazing deserts, I asked if they did takeaway and they said it was no problem, although the portion was small for the price of £7.50 We will definitely be regulars.

Wonderful staff and managers , everyone is friendly and ready to help

Wanted to wait until I had calmed down from our experience yesterday for my father’s 75th Birthday. I haven’t so here we go!! Utter shambles of a place. Greeted by a very petulant man who showed us to the green room and not to the middle room that we had booked for the function. No apologies at all just the attitude of like it or lump it. The food was of a very low standard in my opinion. Bland tasteless meat accompanied by overcooked and stodgy vegetables topped with gravy that looked like an oxo cube had been dissolved in water. To top this dining extravaganza we were then told that whilst we were able to light candles and sing Happy Birthday under no circumstances were we to serve and eat the cake. Having travelled from Australia to celebrate this with my father I am extremely disappointed with how we were treated!! I will never set foot in the place again and will advise friends, family and fellow travellers to avoid this place at all costs!!!

Great food and service - as an added bonus, this is one of the few places in the Peterborough vicinity that serves alcohol-free beer on draught 👍

Aren't allow to eat the cake we made for our grandads 75th birthday. We could cut it. But not eat it. Only 1 nice member of staff in the place. Will take our money elsewhere next time.

I today dined here, and it was a carvery experience like no other—unfortunately, for all the wrong reasons. The roast beef was more akin to a shoe leather substitute, and the gravy had all the richness of a watered-down soup. The vegetables were so overcooked they could double as mash, and the Yorkshire pudding was more of a sad, soggy pancake. If you're looking for a carvery that will test your appreciation for traditional fare, this one definitely leaves an impression. Will not be attending anytime soon or a matter of fact again.

Absolutely ridiculous allowed to take a birthday cake but can’t eat it there, suppose to be a private function wasn’t private. Owner rude. Food wasn’t the best Either

Booked yesterday for a table for 4 of us for 2pm arrived on time , no recognition of us booking it was so so busy that we decided not to stay and left

This place has gone right down hill, used to love the carvery but now food is dry, tight with the meat, lack of choice for veg etc, just bland and expensive. Won't be going back. Such a shame cos place used to be buzzing but it's not now. But mean few miles down the road at Toby.

Absolutely amazing breakfast. At a very good price.

Great Carvery, the meat and veg were excellent but the Yorkshires were floppy. There were a ton of children which were noisy af but they can't really help that. The staff were exceptional though, super friendly and happy to help, they also gave great recommendations for desert.

Nice carvery, found Yorkshire pudding way over cooked. No mash potatoes and the roast potatoes this time we're over powering with salt and pepper so couldnt eat any. Went to a funeral wake.... Shocking they sandwiches for vegetarian are mixed with meat and fish. Scones were very dry and weren't served clotted cream.

Lovely carvery but gravy a bit thin

Went here for breakfast this morning with my wife. We had two full English breakfasts, pot of tea, coke and a hot chocolate. The food was absolutely lovely best fry up I have had in years. Service was also very good the lady was very polite and helpful. Spot on 👌 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Ok.standard place. Nice people. Very good food and a great chef

Terrible overpriced food! Had a very dry panini, wasn’t worth the money at all and couldn’t finish as it was so dry Would not go back

I have used the Farmers a number of times in the past and while it's not expected to be gourmet, it has always been pleasant. Not so this time. Visited for a Sunday carvery 11th August, around 17:30 The meat options were a scrag end of turkey, gammon which looked tired, and a dried out and overdone beef joint. The vegetables were similarly awful. Everything looked like it had been there for hours. There were two roast potatos. I asked for more and a new tray was brought out from below. Dried out and overcooked. There were two limp yorkshire puddings. There were two cauliflower florets. The parsnips were dried out and overcooked (but tasted ok) It looked like end of service had been reached and they were ready to throw things away - but still happy to serve to customers. At £14.50 a plate this was daylight robbery & I will not be returning. If you go, I suggest looking at what's on offer before parting with your money.

Sent this to your social media and email but no response . I brought my family here for a birthday meal last night , we was expecting a carvery so was slightly disappointed I wasn’t told you had stopped doing midweek carvers when I booked , the Server told us the roast dinners were just as good as the carvery , so we duly ordered , the food was presented in a timely way although we did ask if a burger could come out with the starters but that didn’t happen but not a big problem and the waitress did approach us to apologise that it was missed . Part way through our meal my wife noticed that her cauliflower had black sections and the gravy was jelliefied , we also found the meat tough and in general didn’t feel like it was a fresh cooked meal as we have come to expect from you . Sadly once we returned home my wife and I both began to feel unwell and have suffered with upset stomached and nausea which has continued through the night into this morning . We have been coming to the farmers for years and have never had such poor quality food and I’m feeling pretty disappointed with the evening and having spent £98 and now feeling ill.i look forward to your feedback.

Had a fabulous lunch here yesterday. The staff could not have been friendlier or more helpful. The food was amazing, well presented and hot. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend to anyone and will certainly be returning. Thank you guys we had a fantastic time.

老板真的很热情，我们在附近旅馆住，出门找吃的。刚好看到这家店。 老板很有趣给我们分享了一些本地信息以及附近好玩的地方。 老板手艺不错，推荐的香肠配薯泥盖上片酥皮，但吃起来确实是不错的。薯条配上灵魂蘸料“醋”特别的好吃。热辣清脆。 买了一个芝士蛋糕老板附送了一个超级好吃，撑了。 推荐

Great place to eat food lovely too

Excellent food, service and surroundings. The staff went out of their way to look after one of our guests suffering with anxiety to find a secluded space for us to enjoy our meal. Highly recommended and we will be returning very soon.

We stopped for breakfast right when they opened on Saturday morning so the whole place was empty like ghost town. Breakfast was nice freshly cooked ( fried and scrambled eggs,bacon, sausages, baked beans, tomatoes, black pudding, mushrooms and hash browns)but it could have been hotter. It was just lukewarm. Personally I didn't mind it not being hot but my partner did. Anyway... It was a good value for the money and it was conveniently on our way to where we had to be. Will go back next time we are in the area. Recommended.

Nice place to eat at a very reasonable price coupled with fantastic service. Friendly and helpful staff. would definitely recommend

Arthur. What a lovely guy. Great Chardonnay, clean and bright place. Relaxing atmosphere. Will definitely be back.

We had a carvery and pizza Pizza cheese was super chewy And carvery chicken was dry and a lot had ran out:. No music or ambiance..

I attended a wake held in the Green Room... lots of space, plenty of seating with patio doors that open and look out over the garden. The buffet looked delicious with plenty of variety. Unfortunately I have dietary requirements...gluten and dairy free. The charming server checked what they could do for me....ending up with jacket potato with beans and salad, very nice and at no extra cost. Nothing was too much trouble for the serving staff who were polite and friendly.

Lovely pub very clean and friendly.

First time to the farmers today, can't recommend enough good hearty portions for a fair price and the staff were brilliant.

First time there and enjoyed the food and wine. Had the carvery and was given a good amount of meat. Great selection of veg available. Dessert was delicious.

Sadly lasagne was very dry, so had baked potato with gammon & Stilton which was delicious 😋

I was really pleasantly surprised by The Farmers. We rang ahead as I have celiac and wanted to check that they can offer a gluten free carvery and they advised that they could. When I arrived, I went to the main carvery counter and was told all gravy is gluten free which minimises any cross contamination. I got my carvery and returned to the table to find specially made gluten free cauliflower cheese and Yorkshire pudding. It was a lovely touch. All of it tasted amazing and I felt safe eating there! I’d definitely recommend to others who have a gluten allergy.

The staff were very efficient and friendly, the food was great. Only scored it down because the tabletop was sticky and the general decor was tired and rather dark.

Great little find on a Sunday arvo. Good food, lovely staff highly recommended 👌 👍 😀

Local to me, always great service. Carvery is excellent, great value & compared to some other local carveries the food is always fresh. The atmosphere and interior are top notch, you never feel couped up or that the table next to you is anticipating your next mouthful. A nice outdoor area for those warmer days also. Well worth a visit.

One of my all time favourites for Sunday roast

first warm sunday in a beer garden with an ale

We went for the beer festival. Really enjoyed watching The Extremities, the ale, the cider and the food was excellent.

Great food & the staff are superb, efficient yet you can have a chat/laugh with them.

A great meal as always. Desserts are a bit expensive.

Lovely carvery with a friend Choice of meat good veg many and varied Should have had the small plate though in hindsite but will know for next time highly recommended

Never disappoints...delicious Sunday carvery

Very disappointed, beef was inedible and impossible to cut or chew ,we told waitress ,she was gonna tell someone ,but we did not get a response . Parsnips were hard ,the other vegetables were ok,mint sauce seemed to be mostly vinegar ,and spoiled our meal further. Dessert was awesome ,raspberry brulee cheese cake ,spectacular.The space in the car park maybe shows standards are not as good as they were . It isnt difficult to find this standard anywhere now ,but cheaper .

Excellent restaurant and pub. Really good food. Freshly cooked and plentiful. Staff very friendly and helpful. Highly recommend

Just turned up after hospital app with me mum and they openly greeted and seated us. Lovely food and friendly staff

We went in for a carvery today. Meat was lovely, veg over cooked and roast potatoes were not very good. Over all food was disappointing for the cost but staff were helpful.

Had a lovely meal with the family, good food, fantastic service and reasonably priced.

whilst most would go for the huge portions i guess, i loved the vibe there and how friendly the staff was!

Stopped for lunch. Good selection of food on the menu. Food was very tasty and very generous portions. Staff friendly and chatty

Started poor finished excellent. Booked a table for 17 on Mother’s Day and they said no problem. Arrived and we were seated on 2 separate tables. A bit awkward but The chap said well that’s how it is and you wouldn’t get seated anywhere else on a Sunday. Not the way to speak to a customer really.Anyway we rejigged the room about and eventually got the 17 together. 14 had the carvery and it was lovely and the other 3 had vegetarian meals that were equally impressive in both taste and portion size. So it ended on a high after a shaky start. If they didn’t or couldn’t seat 17 people together then don’t take the booking in the future. Booked a month in advance and paid a deposit so they knew we were coming

Very disappointing carvery, the veg were so overcooked they were almost indistinguishable as they had gone to such a mushy consistency. No food labels advising what each dish was, however the gravy was labelled beef and chicken…but I was told it was vegetable! Finally when taking a photo of the dessert blackboard to show the family, I was told ‘there’s no point doing that, it doesn’t match what’s in the cabinet’. Certainly won’t be going back

Popped in to catch up with a mate. Had the breakfast deal. Forgot to take some pics but can say the food was good all freshly cooked, scrambled eggs was spot on. Will be returning again soon, worth the 90-mile round trip.

Good food. Friendly people. Good choice. We had small roast, cod and chips, chicken burger, jacket potato and prawns.

Really good food and a great atmosphere too. Some quiet music playing in the background and good lighting. The food came fast and the servers were really friendly too. Lots of drink choices.

A Busy Sunday at The Farmers (A testimony to how good it is there) Plenty of room to accommodate everyone and plenty of parking space. Good, friendly, helpful staff) Excellent food, good portions and brought out quickly. Good value for money.

Some food was ok but a small carvery to come on a side plate was a joke for the money very expensive for such a small portion all round when 10 minutes up the road can get a much better meal will not come again

A must go to. After our 1st visit. It was so good we have been at least once a week since.

Evening carvery at club event. Good food, lovely staff. Good value and lots of puddings to choose from. Well worth a visit.

What an experience, the landlord and all were magnificent, service with such good humour, I'll be back.

I organised a work do and Jake the manager was very helpful in doing this and there was no stress or pressure at all. On the day of the do, we were greeted by Arthur and the rest of the team who couldn't have been more friendly and helpful.. The food was great and it all came out together. Thanks guys :)

4 of us had the carvery and our grand daughter had the chicken and chips children's meal. All had drinks and two of us had desserts. It was lovely until just after our grand daughter finished her ice cream we were ushered off the table. There were other tables free and it was quite rude how it was done. We won't be returning!

We just stopped off for hot drinks but they do food as well. We were greeted friendly on arrival and shown to a table.

Food was average, and the queing was unbelievable. Different systems would be better, queued to get in the door, queued to pay, and queued for food.

This place is always full for Sunday lunch! On my first visit I could see why! Wonderful carvery, staff are fantastic! Host is a proper Landlord. Cannot fault this place

Gee, this place is well worth travelling 45 minutes each way for. The atmosphere is always perfect because there is a complete spectrum of different ambiences available due to its size. The menu is all good, some very good and the sweets are amazing too. Great choice of drink with a nice bar. The service is extremely good which you’d expect from a good family business. We’ve been to several wakes there to which were a ball. Carverys are an absolute bargain. I qualified for catering and hotel management so I feel justified in my praise. Very easy to get to with very ample bargain to boot.

Food very good, Staff very helpful even on our visit during busy Sunday lunch.

The meat on carvery was the only nice thing about the meal roast potatoes cold and dry pigs in blankets burnt and vegetables taste more like water all in all little disappointing only ate it because I was hungry

Absolute disgrace, I'd rather eat the tyres off of a plane. Carrots were so raw I may aswell have picked them out the ground myself. Don't even get me started on the potatoes, brought tears to my eyes. Had to use a chisel to eat my broccoli. I only went in there for a fry up and he sold me a false dream of a roast dinner, if that's what you can call it

Sadly dissapointed, been before always been ok for the price , today poor Turkey was so thin it obviously came out of a packet, veg was not cooked and roast potatoes probably yesterdays warmed up, pub was cold and atmosphere poor for Christmas.

Friendly and helpful staff. Good food, as usual. Prefect.

Arthur is so welcoming and friendly. We love going there, the food is lovely and the Sunday carvery is amazing.

First time going there Such a good carvery Deffo be back

Went with a big group of people. Preordered a halal or vegetarian meal no order was ready, not a big deal. However when asked about Halal options said only the turkey was halal but used the same carving knife to cut all the meat resulting in cross-contamination! Most certainly not halal nor acceptable!

I found the food and service pretty poor. I would not go again.

Great value, quality and service. I've loved this place for years. The carvery is always hot, well stocked and fresh.

Thanks to Arthur and the team for hosting my Mum's Wake this week. As always excellent service and food by Arthur and his friendly team, nothing was too much trouble. We were all looked after very well, thoroughly recommend, thank you very much.

What can i say but will be back again

Had a lovely carvery great selection of meats and vegetables couldn't eat a pudding

For the price, the food was just about acceptable roast potatoes were hard as we're the majority of the vegetables accept the roast parsnips which were smothered in oil and slimey also undercooked but that said, it was all edible. It was very crowded and felt restricted for access space around the table.

Great friendly staff, lovely vibe. Quality food at a reasonable price. The dessert options are overwhelming

We were 1st few in the farmers..25 of us caused a little chaos to begin ..but the girls serving soon got to grips and hot drinks were served..everything was good.. my only reservation was the quality of the sausages in my opinion. I am fussy with bangers.. not much flavour only in my opinion..drinks were extra on top of breakfast... most buffet breakfasts i know include tea coffee etc...overall good experience.. staff were excellent... world go again..

Title: Cozy Comfort Food at its Best! Review: Upon my recent visit to The Farmers Carvery & Grill, I was thoroughly impressed with the warm and welcoming atmosphere that greeted me. The food truly exceeded my expectations – every dish was a delightful symphony of flavors. The standout was definitely the indulgent chocolate cake, paired perfectly with a scoop of creamy vanilla ice cream, making for a memorable dessert experience. The service was impeccable, with attentive staff ensuring our meal was pleasant from start to finish. I highly recommend this gem of a place to anyone looking for top-notch food, stellar service, and a cozy vibe to dine in. Can't wait to return!

Weekday menu is okay but would recommend and rate the weekend carvery a lot higher.

Ive took my daughter away for a short break. Because she has special needs i do worry when we go to new places. We went to The Farmers for out first night meal. What lovely people. Jake was lovely on the phone & in person. Ellie was so nice. Both great at there job & amazing with my daughter. Food choice was great & so nice. Tables are spaced out. No negatives. Thank you

Quick service, the carvery staff were a little grumpy but smiles from all other staff. You could tell it was nearing the end of service, and replenishing wasn't much of a priority but still tasty

Faultless meal and service. Lasagne was exceptional - as good as home made! 😊

Great place to stop Had questions for the staff, as I was in the area to view properties. The lady was more than able to take the time to chat, to answer any questions I had.

Have book. Very busy. Because its an excellent carvery... the ques,that move quickly show how popular it is

Thank you, it was a lovely meal we had and a nice quiet table. All the staff were really friendly and we met Arthur! We will definitely be coming back again. Thank you again.

Fantastic Sunday carvery. Lots of meat as the young lad carving was generous thank goodness. Been many years ago and will definitely be back soon. Didn’t book and was very busy so doubted whether they could fit us in but they did as it seats a lot of people and the carvery is open until 8 in the evening. We didn’t really need to go at lunch time but we thought they were only serving at lunch time like they did the last time we visited but now we know we can go a little later. Beautifully cooked and plenty of choice of vegetables. Lovely atmosphere and the staff were outstanding. Please don’t change anything because you can’t improve on perfection…!
