The Fitzwilliams Arms in Peterborough - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Not having eaten here for some years and reading good reviews, we came to celebrate husbands birthday, we were impressed with the changes. We were seated promptly and order given for drinks. The menu was varied and we chose well. The food was well cooked and served well. The only criticism would be that the creme brulee was a little under done. That apart, we had a really good night, and we'll be sure to come again.

Such a shame how downhill this pub has gone. Lovely location and building but having been a few times recently with bad experiences each time, it needs to be brought to the attention of the management The tables are constantly cluttered inside and outside and no one seems to come and clear them. The food standard has gone down whilst prices have considerably risen. Smelly glasses with marks on them. Slow service and staff seem stressed and overwhelmed - heard one say to another that she felt close to tears. Unsure what’s happened here but the overall quality and ambience has declined considerably.

Came for my birthday. What a great experience! All the staff that served our table made me feel very special. Graham was a massive help with my friends allergy too

Always a fantastic time when we visit The Fitz! Graham and his team are just amazing and are always willing to go above and beyond! My favourite place in the area

Fantastic meal here the other night. We started off with drinks in the bar, Sam was wonderfully charming and he made our cocktails. We moved into the dining area for dinner and were looked after by Paul and Chanél. The food was outstanding, I had the crab cake for starters which was beautifully cooked and wonderfully flavoursome. For mains I had the garlic lamb skewer - it was so succulent and tasty. The slaw and chips that accompanied it were perfect. We didn’t have room for puds sadly, maybe next time. All in all an amazing meal, we will be back very soon for sure!

We really enjoyed our lunch at the Fitzwilliam arms, the menu was upmarket and fairly priced. Greta value for money and somewhere we will definitely be frequenting from now onwards. Thanks!

What a beautiful little pub. Honestly could not fault the service, special shout out to Graham who made our night absolutely fantastic. Drinks were flowing and the food was outstanding! Will be back soon!

Went foe my mums birthday. We sat outside in the garden which was lovely and very clean. The food was beautiful ,we all opted for the skewers which were beautifully presented and so tasty!!! The waitress who served us was so friendly and warm. The honeycomb bomb dessert was delicious and something different. Great atmosphere,perfect for a lovely June evening

Arrived at 7.30 Sunday. Asked at bar for menu and ordered drinks. When we tried to order we were told " no roasts" no roasts on a Sunday evening ?? Failed to mention that a few minutes earlier when we asked for menu ... we finished our drinks and went to a better managed pub for some Dinner. Bad show Fitz !

Went for dinner tonight with my husband and ordered with the app to the table. Food came quickly but with no cutlery we were told to get our own which is surprising. Food was not great my fishcakes were over cooked the broccoli was hard and the potatoes bland. My husbands pizza was all crust, was definitely not worth the £50 we paid in total. Tables were dirty and not being cleared even though staff were walking past these dirty tables full of dishes, people had to sit at these tables and still they were not being cleared. The pub itself is beautiful but the food very disappointing service not great 😕

Had a fantastic Easter meal . The Root Vegetable Wellington was delicious. My husband had the trio of meats which he loved. Ice cream & Blackcurrant & Apple Crumble for pudding. Cocktail created by Graham. So delicious I had 2. Lynda was our waitress & as always top class as was Graham. Highly recommend The Fitzwilliam Arms. Great food. Great service & a great atmosphere.💖💖🥰🥰

Amazing atmosphere and food. Friendly staff especially our host Lynda who couldn’t have been anymore cheerful Thank you to everyone

I went here for lunch on a week day. It was busy but I was made to feel welcome as soon as I stepped through the door. All of the staff, including Graham who served, me were pleasant, polite and professional. The service was quick but I wasn’t rushed. I had 2 courses from the lunchtime menu. There was plenty to choose from - various dishes and they all sounded delicious. I had smoked haddock and spinach fishcakes with new potatoes, tenderstem broccoli and hollandise sauce for my main course. It was hot and very tasty and beautifully presented. I then opted for a mini pud and hot drink for dessert. I had creme brûlée - delicious and a pot of Earl Grey tea (piping hot and I got 2 large cups from the pot). I would highly recommend this pub and will definitely be going back again.

Brilliant food and service 4 of us for birthday lunch and we all had a different main and dessert and all thoroughly enjoyed it and Graham who served us was great

Lynda greeted us happily and attentively. She served our table professionally throughout with brilliant attention to detail. Will definitely be returning

Another lovely evening with friends at the Fitz! Graham gave great service and the food was excellent. Can highly recommend the skewers and the pavlova is spectacular! Will definitely be back. Highly recommend.

Had a lovely lunch time meal, gluten free requirement catered for. Lynda our waitress was very helpful and attentive considering how busy it was. Thanks to the chef Kerry too.

Came in for a team night out, food was exceptional, especially the Belly Pork. Would highly recommend the Fitzwilliam pub, staff all very welcoming and service great.

We attended on a Sunday for Sunday dinner and were served by Lynda. She was polite, attentive and also humorous which is all you would want in a waitress. She is an asset to the team! The food came in a timely manner despite it being a busy Sunday evening and we couldn’t fault it. The portions were spot on and the food was amazing, flavourful and fresh! Not our first visit and defiantly not our last.

Very nice atmosphere and ambiance in the pub. The staff were helpful and friendly even though initially it was very busy. The food quality was good and we all enjoyed our three course meal. We will certainly visit again as the menu was concise but varied. The only caveats I had were that the service was a bit slow and the prices were a little high and we spent a lot even though we had a free bottle of Prosecco and a further glass of wine was £10 - a bit steep.

Great atmosphere, decor and good food! We were served by Lynda who was both attentive and friendly. The food choice was beyond just the standard Sunday lunch and our individual requests were accommodated. There was no hurry to free the table up after a set time. I would definitely go again.

Visited for brunch. Pub appeared quite empty on arrival (11am ish) with perhaps 4 other people in. Seated in a nice area - order taken for drinks then came back with them, then took food order. It seemed to take an age to arrive which, given how busy the pub appeared, was odd. Most had the full English cooked breakfast. The eggs were quite a disappointment - my poached egg looked like a blob of houmous and the scrambled egg was a mix of brown and grey. The bacon was a couple of thin, very crispy strips, and the mushrooms probably half a dozen slices which looked like tinned ones. It was filling and adequate but perhaps not the standard or quality expected. The coffee on the otherhand, was very good. Just need to up the game in what is being sent out - really look at that breakfast and whether it's something they'd like to eat

Certainly wouldn’t recommend or go back. Waited an hour for mains despite the restaurant not being that busy and then almost an hour for desert went and paid and then within minutes the extremely rude and abrupt waiter told us to leave as we had paid! Really we waited almost 2 hours for our meal overall and you rudely demand we leave the table, wouldn’t mind but there wasn’t a sole in the restaurant by that stage. The waiter was rude and abrupt throughout our meal. Personally I would suggest you avoid and getting better food pans service from one of the big chains

Fantastic Sunday lunch, had a lovely table plenty of space. It was very busy but the staff were fab everyone was happy and took time to check everything was ok. Food ordered came in good time everything was hot and lots of gravy in little jugs was great so you can have as much or as little as you like. Well done Graham and crew today was a pleasant surprise 😉

Trip today to Fitzwilliam Arms at Marholm for Sunday lunch was fabulous as always. We were served by Graham who was friendly and helpful when we had a small problem . Atmosphere is always relaxed and friendly despite being very busy. We will be back

Hi the pub is very welcoming since the refurbishment We went for an anniversary lunch the food was just ok My wifes fish and chips she really enjoyed but my food was okay but not very warm because it was served on cold plates which is a shame really and was also quite expensive Why served quite nice food on a cold plate doesn't make sense

Visited today for a family meal, 6 of us. From the moment of entering until the time we left we were very well attended too. Nothing was too much trouble when we requested it. Fantastic atmosphere, food was incredible and service beyond reproach. Highly recommended & definitely will be returning.

We had a wonderful family meal at this delightful pub/ restaurant. Our server was Joe, who could not have done any more for us. He was attentive, friendly and very helpful in guiding us through our choice of drinks, . The food was first class and beautifully served. It was a busy evening, but we were not kept waiting during our courses and the whole atmosphere was very friendly. I highly recommend this pub for any occasion, you will not be disappointed.

Service was amazing and restaurant had a superb atmosphere! Best meal I’ve had in a long time. Will 100% recommend

Well what a fantastic place to visit, We have been here in the past but not for many years,the Sunday lunch was worth every penny,we had the trio,every thing cooked to perfection,Lynda our waitress was exceptional,very professional and knows her job very well everything was just as you would want it when going out to eat I was very pleased with the boss as well the manager Graham he was very attentive and kind , the pub is run in such a way that it's very calming there was no hassle everybody seemed to know what they was doing considering there wasn't that many staff on everything was 100% and we will go back well done you guys. From me Rosie and my husband Eddie thank you once again

Excellent Sunday lunch today made even better by the friendly efficient service of Lynda as well as the support staff and bar staff. Thank you! Beef was tender and tasty and the vegetables plentiful. Decor and ambience very tasteful and comfy.

We booked a meal here for 14 of us, on December 29th 2023. Right from the point of booking, everything was flawless. We pre-ordered our food, which meant that every delicious dish arrived speedily and piping hot (or chilled, as appropriate) and we were all served within minutes of each other. It’s so rare to find a restaurant that can combine excellent food and service for such a large party with such professionalism and high standards. Every staff member was perfect, every part of our three-course meal was perfect, and every drink was perfect. Graham and team, the legend of your fabulous country pub will be carried back to New Zealand with our hugely impressed family members. Thank you for making our day so special.

Really appalled. Lack of welcome, as hadn’t booked told to go to the bar, waited and went back to ask for menus, only to be told we would have to wait as they were all out, this was 12.15pm and only a hand full of...

This was our second visit and it matched our first with excellent service, excellent food and great atmosphere. Two separate menus to choose from with a wide range of choices. Quality food served with an appropriate gap beteeen meals.

We went today which was very busy, we sat down at 12.15 pm and thought we would have delays, quite the opposite, great food and service by Lynda who was very attentive and is very welcoming.

An absolutely fantastic meal,Lynda was extremely pleasant and helpful and a credit to the restaurant. We all thoroughly enjoyed our Sunday dinner.

This restaurant has been re-furbished to a high standard and the staff were very friendly and attentive but the food choice was disappointing the chicken was stringy and tuff to eat will come again but will complain on the day and probably choose something else

Visited here on Tuesday late afternoon. Food was amazing and the service from the waiter I believe his name was Brady was top notch. Lovely guy. Told us all about himself. Good luck with the hockey mate! Would recommend to anyone thinking of going here

I have never written a review before but was so bitterly disappointed from Friday night's visit to this restaurant, I felt I had to express my concerns. My partner and I went there to celebrate my 60th birthday quietly, before the party weekend. The waitress...

Food was tasty, like many restaurants the prices have gone up but not unreasonable. Poor table service, some waitresses didn’t stop all night however that wasn’t the same for the person serving us. 1:45 and we only had one course. They were more interested in...

We enjoyed a very pleasant dinner in the afternoon (king prawns on skewers with a very special salad) served by efficient and friendly waitresses. The price was reasonable and the setting comfortable and relaxing.

What a beautiful venue. Service was excellent. The food was beautiful. So lovely and clean. Lovely menu. Plenty of car parking

Lovely atmosphere and great service Friendly, efficient but not pushy Food selection very good and enough for light choices or a more full meal Very happy and will return

1.I actually book on line at the last minute ( Sunday 20 august) for 4 persons and it failed. ( there was plenty of tables available ) 2. I rang the pub and they let me book a table over the phone. 3. We arrived...

Linda amazing host :) food fantastic :) Recommend this pub . Great chef 👨🏼‍🍳 Had the roast beef dinner delicious 😋 Service 5*****

Lovely pub in a nice village, friendly and welcoming with a great big beer garden. The food is good and was excited to see they offer a vegan roast! Only disappointing thing is it’s served with a tomato sauce and not gravy… vegan gravy is...

It was very busy but we were seated quickly and given plenty of time to choose our food. We ordered drinks whilst making our selection which is when the Passion Fruit Cocktail comes in. Absolutely scrummy. The staff were great and very attentive without being...

Beautiful premises. Plenty of parking space. Food was delicious. I had sea bass as the main course which was cooked perfectly. We were able to eat our food at our own pace and didn't feel rushed = a nice relaxing meal. The staff were cheerful...

Excellent food, excellent service. Our 'server' Lynda was a little delight. Will be back for more in the not too distant future

Visited for Sunday lunch the food was excellent very tasty and well cooked and lovely gravy more if needed. Linda the waitress was very friendly, courteous nothing to much trouble. We’ll definitely return.

We had Sunday roast, beef. Was lovely!… We couldn’t fault it. And the service was great too, even asked for extra gravy which was no issue. We got looked after throughout. Our waitress was called Lynda. We will definitely be going back, hopefully soon.

Absolutely over priced frozen food , mushroom sauce had split had very little taste sat on a slice of bread. Appalling for the price. Clearly spent a fortune on pub refurbishments yet such a poor chef. Definitely wont go back

Arrived watching 4 staff chatting from different tables was greeted seated at a dirty floor area table stood on 3 bits of food. Was given menus and told drinks order would be along shortly. 7 minutes in and nobody came so we left

It was gorgeous food and a fine atmosphere. The staff were very friendly and extremely helpful. It made a lovely visit

We were a party of four looking for a spur of the moment late lunch. Management fitted us in despite a busy afternoon and we were all impressed by the food and service.

Great food very hot and good value for money. We were staying with friends but would definitely go there again the next time we visit.

This has been our second visit for Sunday lunch both times served by waitress Lynda. She is a credit to the restaurant, friendly, attentive and efficient service that you don’t find often in restaurants any more. Everything served in really good time, as ordered and...

Spent an enjoyable and relaxing evening with two friends, catching up over a two-course meal. The food was ample, tasty and well presented. Whilst my first choice of Forestière Chicken Breast wasn't available, the Aubergine Parmigiana didn't disappoint. The Signature Skewers were also a big...

Excellent food, very welcoming to all including the two grandchildren. The food was great, our server was Lynda, she did a fantastic job of making us feel welcome. I would recommend the speciality skewers, they were yummy.

Enjoyed a lovely meal here last night. The menu was varied and interesting, our choices were well presented and enjoyable. The potion size was good, and we did not need a desert. The serving staff were pleasant and helpful Unfortunately, firstly on arrival, a man...

Visited last night for a family meal. Couldn’t fault a thing. Great service from start to finish and the food was amazing. Love the new look of this pub. Will definitely be back again!

The food is lovely , really nice , often come here with my husband and two children and went last week with the in laws and also with friends ! Good selection of food and it really is tasty. yes it probably is more expensive...

Great Food - but prices for food extremely high. Nice new decor and a lovely location. Pity about the cost.

This was our first visit to this pub since the refurbishment and we were very impressed. The new decor was superb as was the atmosphere and the friendly helpful staff. I enjoyed the signature chicken skewer with the salsa and triple cooked chips - very...

We dined at the Fitzwilliam Arms on Sunday. We booked a 4pm table and asked for a slow service due to a health condition. They were extremely accommodating and it was a great choice for us to make. A sticky platter starter followed by the...

First time we have been here and it certainly won’t be the last. The dinning room was busy with a great atmosphere without being distracting. We were looked after by Lynda and Chloe who ensured we were looked after and aware of the menu. The...

Love bike riding to Marholm finishing here for a drink. The beer garden is 2nd to none in the spring / summer, one of our favourites. The food though, is awful . Small bordering on tiny portions and so expensive. Oven chips and over cooked...

Called in on bank holiday Monday ,the pub was very busy, but managed to find a table for lunch in the bar, the staff were very friendly and helpful, lovely food and service

Was slightly worried after booking a table here and just before our arrival checking the reviews. We needn’t have worried. The portion sizes are more than adequate and the service was very good. Food was tasty and enjoyed by all. Have been coming here for...

A lot of money has evidently been spent on the refurbishment of The Fitzwilliam Arms recently. Unfortunately the food quality does not in any way match the delightful decor. All courses of the lunchtime meal we and two friends purchased were very overpriced and disappointing...

Nice ambience and pleasant surroundings but very obviously understaffed for a busy Easter Bank Holiday. Feel very ripped off paying £11.50 for 2 small shrimps and 2 small scallops in a sauce as a starter. Time between ordering and recept of meals and / or...

Disappointing experience so wouldn’t rush back there. The overall impression of the bar and restaurant is modern and inviting and service is good. The problem we had was portion size and quality of both our main meals one tiny overcooked chicken breast with a tiny...

The Fitzwilliam Arms had been mentioned in a conversation by one of my clients recently. I wanted to spend some quality time with my Son as he was going backpacking abroad the next day. My Partner and Son are both vegans and we chose this...

We had the sad task of holding a wake here. Prior to the date, we visited the venue & were dealt with the manager Graham who was very accommodating with our requests. On the day when we arrived earlier than planned, we were greeted by...

Love the refurbishment and the garden, also the staff were friendly. Unfortunately that is as good as it gets. Over priced and poor quality, my tomato soup was inedible, too thick and a strange taste (I could live on soup, but not this one) My...

High prices and poor presentation of food made this an average experience. The star of the show was the lady serving us. I had a Sunday lunch with pork, beef and turkey. The quality of the vegetables was good but the beef was red (great...
