The Golden Ball Hotel in South Cambridgeshire

My family party of 6 adults and 3 children had dinner at the Golden Ball after a small family wedding . We had the private room and were extremely well looked after by the lovely staff who couldn’t do enough for us. The food was excellent and in my opinion very good value. We had a truly memorable time and hope to visit again in the not too distant future 😁 Im sorry there aren’t more pics, I was too busy eating 🤣

8 of us turned up after a walk. We hadn't booked but received a friendly greeting and a table was laid for us. This was a Wednesday and I suspect you would need to book on or around the weekend. There were good pub lunch choices and we all enjoyed the food.

We booked two nights bed and breakfast at the Golden Ball. Our bedroom was lovely very clean. The breakfast was very good. Plenty of choice. We had evening meal on both nights. Good menu and well cooked. We wanted to go to Cambridge and Sarah was a brilliant host who told us where to get the park and ride and places to see in Cambridge

Stayed overnight and ate in the pub, food was excellent. Good size portions, very tasty and reasonably priced without the mandatory service charge which you get at most places these days. Would definitely eat here again.

We picked the Golden Ball for our father's wake, we could not of picked nicer people to help guide us, and hold the wake. Sarah provided myself and my brother a huge amount of compasion, and support from the 1st call. Sarah and Stephen provided my friends and family a fantastic buffet tea, and managed a tab at the bar for us. Sarah made us feel at ease, with no rush, we very are grateful for thier fantastic service and compasion shown to us on such a difficult day. Thank you Tracy Murphy and Paul Allen

Stayed here after a long journey from Somerset to visit Cambridge. Great location situated between A14 and the park and ride. Quiet and relaxing hotel with fields at back , comfortable and clean room away from the pub. Had an excellent evening meal, breakfast also really good. Service excellent and hosts and staff really nice people. Hopefully can stay again one day.

Had Sunday lunch- the food was absolutely fantastic, the best we’ve had out in a long time. The beef and pork were succulent and the vegetables were all fresh. The puddings were also very tasty, with generous portions. The staff were attentive, friendly and efficient - altogether a most enjoyable lunch.

We stayed two nights and had excellent food all round. The service is brilliant and the wine 🍷 selection is very good also. Definitely come back here and recommend it to our friends!

You always get a good meal here at a reasonable price. All homemade very good portion sizes. Good variety of dishes. Staff are always friendly. Lovely garden when the weather is nice enough to sit out. Yes some people may say it’s a bit old fashioned inside but I think it’s cosy and welcoming.

Four of us were staying here for business. On arrival sarah was the most welcoming host ever. We were made to feel as if we are very special which we certainly are not! The hotel is different to the usual sterile places we stay and that was very refreshing. Good food good beers and apart from a little tiredness in decor etc. everything was great. Music was a really good mix and a big shout out for the garden as it is beautiful and had a lovely discussion with Sarah about the plants and trees. Great knowledge Sarah.

I have not been here for a while, but today’s visits reminded me that this place is a little gold mine. The food served was gorgeous with hot plates and a great service. The views were picturesque and the ambiance was tranquil. I went there with colleagues who agreed we must visit again and they have great fish on the menu. Highly recommended.

Beautiful inn in small village with separate accommodation annexe. Do not be put off by the address being ‘high street’. The accommodation is at the rear of the hotel and is very quiet and peaceful. The rooms are large with extremely comfortable beds, tea/coffee making facilities, AC unit for heating and cool air, beautiful bathrooms with complimentary toiletries. We booked a table for the restaurant a day in advance of arrival and glad that we did as the restaurant quickly filled up. The menu is very comprehensive and unlike most hotels nowadays consisted of classic dishes plus a couple of specials (no jus or foam to be seen on the menu). The food was excellent, piping hot and nicely presented. I had the soup of the day (butternut squash) followed by homemade shepherds pie with a selection of green vegetables. My husband had cod goujons as a starter followed by one of the specials Katsu chicken burger. Unfortunately we had no room for dessert. We washed this down with a lovely bottle of reasonably priced Albariño. After a good nights sleep we went into hotel for breakfast, lovely selection of juices, cereals, fresh fruit, full English breakfast and toast. The staff were all very friendly and welcoming and we will definitely be visiting again. One small recommendation - it would be a nice touch to have a bottle of drinking water in each room although we were able to request this at the bar.

Very underwhelming and disappointing. The roast lamb was served with cauliflower cheese and the vegetables consisted of parsnips and one sliver of carrot. Southern fried chicken and potato wedges were inedible. Wedges were burnt and the whole meal looked as if it had been reheated from a previous occasion . A heavily tattooed waitress came out of the kitchen serving food whilst chewing . Just hope it wasn’t something from our plate. Will not be returning.

We phoned to try and book a last minute table for 8 people for my husband's 80th birthday after being let down by a nearby pub and they came up trumps with only 40 minutes notice and saved the day. The food was really good and the staff were so helpful. There is ample parking here and it's a great location. I would definitely recommend this pub and we hope to come back fairly soon.

I met a friend for lunch and we both ordered roast lamb. Hers came with a pot of cauliflower cheese and a Yorkshire pudding. There was no supplement for these for my GF meal which was very small. I had few over-cooked vegetables, 4 roast potatoes and 3 small slices of meat. That was £15.50. I did complain and was given a 12% discount and a coffee. The only GF dessert options were ice cream or sorbet. As it was below freezing outside I didn't want those so all in all it was a disappointing meal. However the owner was friendly and tried to address the issues and did give me a discount.

We discovered this stunning looking village pub (and hotel) during our weekend walks during lockdown. We were very keen to visit so went on the first date we were able to eat inside. We weren’t disappointed - friendly staff, great food. Very worth a visit. Will go for Sunday lunch next time.

We dropped in for a simple midweek lunch on a cold winters day and given a warm welcome, sat near the fire and enjoyed the most excellent food. I do not usually write reviews for a pub lunch (unless it is particularly poor) but this is an exception.

Our second recent visit. They are observing all the new rules admirably. This is not haute cuisine but very good food served unpretentiously and consistently well. Ample portions and pleasant caring service. Best chips I’ve had in a long while and everything served on a plate, no stupid wire cages or slate trays in sight. Just the place to shelter from the autumn winds.

Able to sit outside. Good beer, good selection on menu, pleasant staff. All in all a lovely family lunch.

Very last minute asked for a table last Sunday (pushing our luck, especially during this year). The lady who greeted us was so very welcoming and found us a table. The food was incredible!!! The best lamb roast I have had and my husband and son (both fuss pots) got exactly what they wanted and polished their plates. Staff very warm and welcoming. They have a cute outside garden too. Will definitely go back and will try and book the cute hotel adjoined to it too.

We called in for lunch today (27/08/20) after a circular walk through woods near Knapwell. We were seated at a round table overlooking the attractive garden and outside area. The pub had interesting tapestries across the beamed ceiling and the walls had been newly decorated. We were well looked after by a very efficient person, Jackie, who took our orders for food and drink promptly and gave us very good service. I had a good size portion of baked salmon with tasty mash, vegetables and a jug of dill sauce. Husband ordered the 'special' of duck breast and trimmings and it was cooked to perfection. No room for dessert - maybe next time! The large outside garden area looked beautiful with spaced out seating and lovely pots of flowers. This pub well worth a visit and has apparently been very popular during the 'eat-out scheme'. However, its worth visiting for a lovely relaxing meal anytime. Thank you to the owners, Sarah and Stephen, for all their hard work during the lock-down to make the Golden Ball look great. It's good to see it re-open and serving great meals.

Visited the Golden Ball at Boxworth for the first time. It was lovely ! Great staff, nice garden. Had a lovely lunch time meal out. The food was perfectly cooked and well presented. The Seabass with creamy sauce was to die for ! All in all a lovely lunch time visit. We will be back !

Very hospitable when I called to book, great experience on arrival, wonderful food and very Covid-aware without being a put-off. Would highly recommend a table in the garden... and would highly recommend all of the food (our table ordered some vegan, some vegetarian and steaks and so on - all was fantastic)Really good service, very friendly - it's improved a lot since I used to visit a while back.

The restaurant was very clean, with laminated menus that could be wiped down and hand sanitising stations. The staff were excellent whilst adhering to social distancing measures, which was very reassuring. The food was excellent as always, and very good value for money. Thank you for a lovely lunch!

This is a very welcoming Pub staff very polite .The food is very good .The liver was overcooked in the liver and bacon but the Chicken Rissotto was lovely The place is a bit tired the carpets are worn but the food is mostly great

First time I have been here had roast pork very nice but cauliflower needed more cooking couldn’t get a fork in to cut it I am personally not into almost raw vegetables apart from that the meal was okay

Good food and decent sized portions. Only reason I gave four stars was because the loos need updating.

Enjoyed meeting friends and family for lunch. Staff and service were excellent. Nothing was too much trouble and food for all of us was 1st class. Specials or main menu just as good.

The food is of a very high standard and plenty of it. We asked for a table by the fire and it was very cosy in a rustic setting very enjoyable on a cold day.

Eating here is a regular treat, very friendly staff, fabulous tasty food, generous portions, great beers and wines, would thoroughly recommend

Well worth confusing your sat nav through the A14 roadworks just as well that we had a map to hand.A warm welcome good food and speedy service all combined to an overall pleasant experience.Will call again

We had not been here before but friends whom we were meeting had. A lovely countryside pub with accommodation. The food we ordered was great not just in flavour but in generous portions. As we had travelled a reasonable distance decided to stay overnight. Rooms very clean and comfortable. Breakfast the next morning was also a generous portion. Staff very friendly and attentive. Will we go back.....definitely.

5 ladies from the U3A decided to have lunch to celebrate Christmas at this lovely venue. The staff were welcoming and friendly and the interior cosy. We all opted for one of specials of the day and they didn't disappoint. Portions were good, not huge (except for a,burger I saw being served up at an adjacent table) with fresh rather than frozen veg. My duck breast with cranberry jus and dauphinoise potatoes,was a delight - I wanted to lick the last of the jus off the plate, it was,so delicious. Everyone opted for pud rather than a starter, again, not massive portions but after the richness of the main, it wasn't needed. Will definitely be coming again.

My family met up here for lunch today. I would just like to thank the staff for the wonderful service they supplied. The food was absolutly delicious and the pub and restaurant was cosy and relaxing. We will definately be back 10/10 Thankyou

This lovely pub goes from strength to strength! Wonderf ul food, great service and friendly helpful staff and owners. My compliments also to your great chef!!!

We were recommended to this place and we arrived early for dinner. Had a drink and then went for a walk waiting for service to start. It was worth the wait. Friendly staff and a gentleman sitting at the bar, Patrick, helped us identify some local happenings.

if you want good food a warm welcome and very nice waitresses go here .The owners should be very proud of very pro u d of their pub restaurant.We have been there a few times and the food is always very good.

Hadn’t been to the Golden Ball for a time and was so glad to return with my husband last night. What an excellent meal, lovely ambience and Jackie our waitress was very affable and helpful. The choices on the menu were good and varied. I went for the Specials Board, Pork in mushroom cream sauce just the right amount of without being swamped in sauce! Served underneath with delicious mashed potato accompanied separately with fresh vegetables. Hubby had his usual burger which scored high marks for him. Well done Golden Ball and thank you.

A really enjoyable meal in very pleasant surroundings. The french onion soup & lamb’s liver was very tasty. The others had the scampi, & steak ale pie which were very good. The staff were very attentive and efficient. Large car parking area.

Bar and restaurant is very cosy with exposed beams and log fire. Food selection is great and all dishes are freshly cooked, tasty with good sized portions.

Always experienced good food and friendly service at the The Golden Ball. They're doing something right as it always seems busy at lunchtimes but have never had to wait too long to be seated and served. keep up the good work.

Superb food and friendly welcome. Characterful pub and pretty garden. Deservedly popular so best to book - we had not been before and were lucky to get a table for two on a Thursday lunchtime. Despite this the waitresses moved efficiently at high speed and our meal was great. My Rump of Lamb in a red wine sauce with Dauphinoise potatoes was absolutely delicious. We would certainly go again if we lived nearer.

Have visited the restaurant many many times over the the last 18 years or so and the Golden Ball was often my go-to choice for large family get togethers. Never again. On my most recent visit I was served completely inedible cod and chips. It looked appetising enough until I tried to sink my knife and fork into the battered fish and it was rock hard, not just a bit tough, but completely solid! I immediately thought I had been served a frozen fillet of fish, yet it was warm when I touched it. I called the waitress over immediately and she was very apologetic and offered me an alternative which I declined as unsurprisingly, I had lost my appetite. The Manager came over and having checked with the chef assured me I hadn’t been served uncooked food, but couldn’t offer an explanation of why the fish was inedible. We left and were not charged for the drinks we had already partially consumed. Needless to say I have lost all confidence in the quality of food served at the Golden Ball and will never go again.

We had both a post funeral meal for 50+ and a family meal for around 20 the night before the funeral here. Both were fantastic. The staff are lovely, which was really important in the circumstances, and the food and service were just right. Sarah was delightful to deal with and delivered on everything promised, and more. We have eaten here before on a number of occasions which is why we chose it, and we will certainly return. Highly recommended.

My wife and I visited the Golden Ball for an evening meal and to scout out the possibility of having a family birthday gathering there in the near future. The thatched 16th century hotel was a winner as soon as we arrived. A glorious sunny evening highlighted the beautiful setting, lovely gardens surrounding the building. The restaurant staff could not be faulted for their service and the food was top quality. Shame that we only managed one course! We opted out of a starter in order to follow the mains with a pudding (the dessert list was mouthwatering!). But our orders of scampi and chips and steak and kidney pudding were so huge and so good, that we could only make room for coffee. Can’t wait for the birthday meal and the return visit!

We hadn’t been to the Golden Ball for a while & were meeting friends who were travelling on the A14 from the Midlands - this seemed an ideal place to meet & have Sunday Lunch.

Fantastic place of the beaten track. Loads of parking. Friendly atmosphere. Great menu and reasonably priced. Highly recommend the steak & ale pie with mash potato and gravy. Will visit again.

We booked for one night bed and breakfast as a stop over on our way to Suffolk Coast. Externally it looked quite promising, large car park, white washed building with plenty of colourful flowers and tidy gardens. On entering the pub to check in the vibes did not feel good and the whole place looked rather shabby and dirty. The rooms are in a separate building across the car park and on entering you were hit by a over powering smell of air freshener. The whole place really needed a good clean and freshen and was very lack lustre. We stayed in a room on the first floor which over looked the car park and the extractors from the restaurant were directly across and were very noisy. The decor in the room was varying shades of browns and beige which made an already small room feel even smaller. The bathroom was tiny and the towels had a very peculiar smell. Breakfast was served in the pub and I can only say there was an awful smell of staleness and old grease. Fortunately it was a beautiful sunny morning and we were able to sit outside on the benches. The breakfast was very substandard and the yoghurts that were out were in direct sunlight and therefore warm. The fruit we had to ask for and this was crudely cut apples, strawberries, blueberries. Very disappointing and not worth the money and would not recommend or stay there again.

Our first visit whilst staying locally proved to be a genuinely fantastic early evening. I couldn’t have been happier with our family meal today. A beautiful little pub with such character and interest. The service was amazing, nothing seemed to be a trouble with our host seeming to be genuinely interested in making our visit a special experience. There were six of us who all ate three courses and we all enjoyed every mouthful. I personally had the roast lamb which was delightful and words can’t describe my Eton Mess pudding. Really happy to recommend and will definitely visit again the next time i’m In the area.

We passed this place and decided to try it for Sunday lunch. The service was great and so friendly. The pate to start is delicious. Had a roast both times, 7/10, but great value, and the puds were nice. Bit dated in decor but would go back as the staff are so accommodating and welcoming. Nothing is too much trouble.

We have visited this pub restaurant many times and today we brought my husband's sister with us for Sunday lunch. My husband chose the roast lamb and his sister chose the beef. I wanted the salmon in wine sauce but at 1.45pm when we ordered they had run out of this dish , sadly (next time I would pre order the salmon as I don't eat meat). I ended up having stuffed peppers, which were very nice- great for vegetarians.

My chicken and brie pie was dry and the pastry hard. At least a third of the meal was chips. The fish cake starter was mostly potato. A friend had quiche which was on special but it was only a 3cm wedge, but had 7 new potatoes. Waiting staff were excellent but the meal took an hour to be served.

Popped in here for the first time for lunch. Service was excellent in terms of friendliness of the owners(?) and the speed of the meal arriving. The beer choice was also good. I'm sure I'll return.

We've been here several times and always enjoyed the service and the food. Really nice place, relaxing environment and friendly staff. What more can you ask?

Great evening had at the Golden Ball. Food was typical pub grub at good prices. Staff were very friendly considerate we arrived slightly later than booked time and near the end of service. Will definitely be returning.

Had a wonderful evening eating great food and good beer/wine. Lovely staff and a nice looking small hotel too.

Visited on a busy Sunday afternoon for a very late lunch this very large traditional pub/hotel on a freezing cold day after choosing it from the lucky dips in the Good Pud Guide. Happily the pub was very warm and welcoming and the staff were very friendly and helpful. We chose Sunday Roast and Steak and Ale Pie which tasted very good and served piping hot.

Food was great and plentiful. It was a bit chilly in the conservatory even with the electric blower.

We had a delicious family meal here. We loved the trivia questions on the table,this kept us occupied whilst waiting for our food. Children’s portions were large and our 10year old couldn’t finish hers. Friendly staff but honest as they were busy and they squeezed us in.

Smiley welcome from Sam for all, then a relaxing drink before dining. We visited on Saturday 8th dec 2018. Food is excellent. We tried a variety from the menu and nothing disappointed. Decent wines and real ales. We will go back again. Great for all.

We had a lovely tasty lunch today at the Golden Ball, we both went for the steak and kidney pudding which was absolutely delicious, it came with either mash or chips also carrots,broccoli,parsnips and corgettes, we went for the chips which were chunky and a generous portion.

Popped in for a quick lunch on Bank Holiday Monday. The pub was busy, but we were welcomed at the bar and shown to a table. Enjoyed the quiz cards on the table as we waited for food. The food was tasty and nicely presented - nothing fussy, but just good, honest pub food. We'll definitely be back.

Year 27 of our twice a year tour round UK - mature golfers age 65+. From check in to check out the experience was faultless. Owner Stephen came and chatted to us several times when not in kitchen. Ruth checked us in with the professionalism of a 5* hotel. Jackie looked after us some evenings and breakfasts, and last night Lou thrived on perfection. Food excellent - we covered most of the menu between 8 of us. Most powerful showers of anywhere we have stayed. We rarely re-visit the same place for future trips, but all are keen we return to The Golden Ball saying we won't find anywhere better.

We came here for a family meal for a birthday. The food we received was unbelievably bad and it totally ruined our celebration. For example we ordered prawn linguine which was genuinely just pasta with chopped tomatoes and prawns on top!!!!! The waitress said in response ‘this is not our best chef!’. Unbelievable! Avoid this place, despite its previously good reputation!

Busy pub. Food OK but quite stodgy. We had starters of tomato soup - good; prawn and avocado salad - good. Mains - steak and ale pie - very good but rather a lot of pastry; salmon in cream and dill sauce - OK but salmon a bit overcooked. Dessert: creme brulee - OK; sticky toffee pud - OK. We would go back if in the area but wouldn't make a detour for it.

Definitely in the pub grub category, situated just half a mile, perhaps, from very ordinary service area on the busy A14. The menu is quite comprehensive with many favourites and they serve plenty of it ! Nice separate dish of vegetables.You won't come away hungry from here. The pub itself is nicely done and the staff friendly and efficient. Will definitely go again.

Excellent, fresh food....convenient for hotel patrons and motorists alike. Great wine and beer, and a selection of wonderful desserts. Incredible historic atmosphere, reasonably priced. Lots of local and visiting patrons. Highly recommend

We came with friends who live locally and recommended the food.

Really great food and portion sizes! Is a lovely place. Have previously tried the chicken pie which is just amazing, and this time went for the sausage and mash - yum! The service was very good too, personal and helpful.

09/07/18, pointed out a small mistake in service; just an observation not a criticism, manageress was extremely rude, aggressive and unprofessional. Will not be using this establishment again. I could not recommend this place to anyone.

Booked this room for 3 nights, but left after 1! At arrival you could clearly see the whole complex looks very tired and outdated. First room was very dirty, lots of dust, unpleasant smell, and very hot! Refrigerator not working, including several lights, dead bugs, mold in bathroom, bath and sink looks very unpleasant. Second and third room same story. Dinner and breakfast were both poor and untasty. Overall, pretty shocking for a so called 4 star facility!

A lovely place to eat very good food and enjoy excellent service! My favourite pub :-) Food is always of a very high standard and very delicious. Roasts are amazing .

Great place - staff so friendly, food nice and room comfortable (beds very comfy!). Whole wedding weekend was wonderful!

Why is it that we sometimes overlook the jewels on our own doorstep? The Golden Ball Hotel is but 6 miles from home & we shall be returning very soon. My partner & I were celebrating my birthday & had an excellent lunch. We made our selections entirely from the excellent and varied specials board. We sampled each other’s choices as you do & were delighted with our choices whilst being a tad envious of each other’s. the service was first class with the staff displaying a thorough familiarity with both the menu & the specials available.There was a equally well stocked bar & and more than adequate wine list. The restaurant has a variety of seating options, from intimate to larger parties, also a large & beer garden. The Golden Ball is an attractive venue with beautiful thatching & well cared for gardens. Can you tell we were impressed?

Posto delizioso e si respira il fascino di un pub dai toni gradevoli. Cibo curato nei particolari dai sapori ben equilibrati. Un ambiente discreto per chiudere in bellezza una frenetica giornata di lavoro, magari assieme ad un dolce al cioccolato davvero buono.

Had a wonderful meal here tonight. The pub is made extra special by the host sarah who I have had the pleasure of getting to know over the years. She remembers family jobs etc. Lovely lady and great environment for a pleasant meal

been here a half a dozen times before several years before this visit but there was no where else to go for sunday lunch as everywhere we enquired was fully booked. I knew the food previously was traditional and good value so we went again. We all ordered shandys but they didn't taste so nice and seemed flat but it could have been the Estrella beer we are not used to. My chicken roast was small and covered in rich gravy. My partners lamb he said was very good and my mums pork was very good too. Service was good and all 3 lunches with a drink came to £45

This restaurant has been our default "regular" destination for about three years now. The place is actually a hotel, there is a separate building right next to the pub itself, I believe there are about a dozen bedrooms and from the photos on the web site they look fine. The place is in a pretty Cambridgeshire village, within 2 miles of the A14, which makes it perfectly positioned for access to various places, most notably Cambridge, although as the A14 is in the middle of a £1.5 billion makeover between Huntingdon and Cambridge, accessibility until mid 2020 is a bit compromised.

I recently stayed here while visiting Cambridge for meetings. It’s a very small hotel but the rooms were very clean and comfortable. The staff were very friendly and made guests feel very comfortable. In the evening enjoyed dinner in the adjoining pub and food was very good. Certainly a welcome change from the usual corporate hotels and will certainly stay again when visiting Cambridge area.

This pub has a cozy and friendly atmosphere and the service is thoughtful and warm. We always enjoy having a go at the trivial pursuit questions on the tables whilst we await our meals. Sunday roast dinners this time were much appreciated. Children's portions of roast dinner are on the large side, it would be nice to have the option of an even smaller plate for young children say under 6. That said, all my children enjoyed the food very much, and ate lots, even the fussy toddler. There are a lot of pudding options to choose from which is excellent. In my opinion the creme brulee caramelised topping was slightly overdone and would have benefitted from being a little thicker, but the creme was excellent. All in all a very good meal in pleasant surroundings and we will certainly be back.

Every time I visit this establishment the food is consistently excellent, staff and owners helpful kind and considerate and they always go that extra mile. Best wishes for a happy healthy and prosperous 2018 and many years to come.

I can't complain about either the food or the service here, but something about the place took me back to the 1980's (not always a bad thing!). Nothing outstandingly brilliant, but nothing at all bad either. Would I eat here again - yes, but there are other places I would go to first.

Booked through Trip Advisor when staying near to Cambridge for a weekend. Food of a good standard and a varied menu choice. Portions are generous and prices reasonable. The ambiance was pleasant and the service was very friendly.

Service excellent, food superb and convivial surroundings, with the olde worlde beams and ceiling drapes.Waitresses efficient and friendly.

9 family members for birthday celebration. Sunday meal booked for 6pm, website and email problems meant no response to enquiry,...

Popped in here a year back for a quick one summer evening but had already eaten! as you do, you...

A veces algo sale mal con una comida. Que sucederá de vez en cuando. Creo que cómo un restaurante maneja tales casos es una prueba de su calidad. En mi caso mi cordero cadera era "off". Una (de las tres) Pieza de cordero olía a rancio. Yo señalamos y el camarero (puede haber sido el propietario/gerente) se lo llevaron. Le pregunté amablemente para llegar tranquilamente y el chef de olor. No se acuse hizo y no conseguir una respuesta o intentar resolver mi queja. De hecho, el camarero no fue visto de nuevo. El resto de las comidas del grupo eran buenos, y es una lástima que no era básico profesional cortesía extendió a nosotros. Contaminado toda la experiencia.

Me encanta este lugar, nada demasiado problema. Deliciosa comida, personal amable preparado. Fuimos un domingo, que era increíble. He utilizado en varias ocasiones, siempre será mi primera opción.

Estuvimos allí el domingo pasado. Almorzamos en el interior, pero el lugar tiene un precioso jardín en la parte trasera con algunas mesas. El servicio fue rápido y muy amable.

He utilizado este sitio en los últimos seis meses de trabajo regularmente estancia. Habitaciones limpias y un personal amable que te cuidan muy bien. Recomiendo en cualquier momento.

We have eaten here a few times now and have always been impressed with the food and the good service. Their duck spring rolls are to die for and we love their pies ( Some of the best pies we've had ) Their burgers are also of a very good quality unlike the George and Dragon down the road where the burger was a frozen rubbery mess and for the same price as The Golden Ball. The interior of the restaurant is inviting and we love sitting in their lovely beer garden on a warm day. We will continue to come here even once we have moved away from the area.

We had a fantastic stay at this pub. The outdoor rooms are lovely and very quite. Our dinner and breakfast were amazing. They cater very well for allergies and the lovely ladies working there can't do enough for you. Fantastic place for a mini break.

We ate here on a Friday night. The hotel is nice, service was attentive. The food was average pub food, menu was varied and a child's menu too.The pub was quite busy and had a nice beer garden outside.

Stopped here with friends for a nice meal. Food was great - the service excellent and nothing was a problem. The menu is superb as are the specials. Try the risotto if they have it and the baked salmon too !!! Had a chance to chat with the owners her were so personable... nice touch. Will be back very soon,

Drove to The Golden Ball Hotel to have a meal, walked in and stood at the bar, two people behind the bar, no customers waiting whatsoever, stood and stood there, no-one acknowledged us, not even the waiting staff - stood there for several minutes, did not even have the decency to say 'will be with you in a moment' so we walked out and found an amazing pub, a couple of minutes up the road, The Poacher at Elsworth which we would highly recommend - so THANK YOU to the staff at The Golden Ball, you done us a favour.Would never return.

We were in an area we were not familiar with, and decided to take a cross country route back to our hotel when the A14 and M11 were in turmoil. We stumbled across the Golden Ball at Boxworth. A most pleasant inn, we decided to stop for a meal. The building was attractive, with a delightful garden, though because it was a date evening did not venture out. My wife had ham egg and chips, but substituted pineapple for the egg, and throughly enjoyed. I had shortlisted a couple of tasty sounding dishes from the menu, but when the waitress mentioned the specific, I chose lambs lives, with bacon and onions. So glad she told me about it, delicious. It,s a long way from home, but my wife wants to visit Cambridge again soon. I think I will return to the Golden Ball. Good food, lovely surroundings, friends staff, and good value. I noticed they have room too.

Plenty of parking, accommodating to young family, high chairs aplenty, quick service, friendly staff, big portions, lovely environment. Big menu with plenty of choice and a specials board.Tasty lasagne, mixed grill extremely well cooked and great ingredients all locally sourced.

I've eaten at the Golden Ball a number of times and it never disappoints. The menu is full of traditional pub classics and comfort food type dishes, but they are always freshly cooked, well-presented and tasty. Service is very relaxed and friendly. Puddings are always a high point and worth saving space for!

Walking group had a late lunch here last week. Very wide choice and plenty of hearty meals. Everything well cooked and tasty. Pie a little heavy on the pastry and minimal filling but otherwise fine. Barn like building gives open feel and staff were very friendly. Also have some good beers including Adnams Ghost Ship.

Nine of us ranging in age from 3 to 87 went here for Sunday lunch. Good access for disabled great gran, lovely table laid out just for us, out of the way, lovely food and great service. Recommended. We will be back.
