The Green Man in Cambridge

My family and I visited for Christmas dinner. Being 30 mins early for our table we were pleased to be seated but were happy to wait either way - did not anticipate to be on our main courses 3 mins after the original booking time. I mentioned that we felt rushed through our service which was amended by asking if we would like to wait for our last course. I understand there is a lot to do on Christmas Day service but if you cannot pace all tables with well timed services don’t accept all the bookings and force courses through… we sat by the kitchen doors and my family members were being watched from within to be cleared. Main courses delivered before all starters were removed from table. Had to ask for cutlery, remind of drinks on order and we had disused wine glasses, cracker litter and side plates on the table for the duration of the meal - table maintenance lacking. A few of the more youthful staff members could have a reminder of professional attire - very short dress inappropriate for work lovely for a social occasion.

The mains were poor. In particular the pizzas were like cardboard. And most of the food we were served was tepid. On the bright side, the pub was attractive and cosy and the drinks and desserts were lovely. Would we go back? No honestly. They need to sort out their food.

Busy friendly pub, good value for money food & drinks.

Excellent staff and delicious fot. I have coeliac disease and feel very safe when I eat at the Green Man

Good service food good Xmas decorations pretty,

Just had a staff Xmas do and it was amazing. Staff are friendly and the whole night was just great. The setting was perfect.

Absolutely outstanding,Sunday lunch.Staff couldn't be more attentive.The best I've eaten in 2024.Fresh vegetables,and homemade yorkies.Well done to you all.xx

Sarah’s service was absolutely brilliant tonight, she couldn’t do enough for us and there wasn’t an empty glass all night. The food was amazing as well, everything came quickly and hot. The waiting staff did well to make sure everyone got what they had ordered. Very enjoyable evening!

Nice Environment It's a nice and quiet place for a meal. The menu was similar to Plough of Horningsea. Similar prices too. The burger was a bit dry and hard and slightly burnt. The burger bun was not brioche bun. But still, the pulled beef inside tasted nice. Everything was hot. Glad that the battered fish had basic seasoning. To me it's very important. Imagine battered fish without any basic seasoning, I will think that the chef is lazy and irresponsible. The portions were small in terms of its price generally. The quantity of chips was the smallest among all of the Cambridge pubs. Not a bad idea if you are determined to eat healthier but fail to quit chips. The staff were nice and helpful. No service charge in the bar area.

Came here for a work Christmas dinner! Both the food and service was fabulous! Sarah, our host, was prompt, professional and friendly. The food was very quick and tasted great.

Excellent menu choice, great atmosphere, staff very friendly and welcoming

Waited far too long for our food to be served, when it was over an hour snd 20 mins, waiter said “you will have to wait “luv” we have a party in! We left!

All staff were extremely friendly - especially Sara who went above and beyond. (Saving me from choosing a meal that would be too spicy for me). Even though the restaurant was very busy, the food came relatively quickly. I can’t think of anything negative.. my husband and I both enjoyed our meal and the experience.

Stevie, The Manager was exceptional and 5 stars for his hospitality. We come here always, Gracie has served us as well as Sarah. Always smiling and polite. This place is our go to, whether as a couple or as a family, birthdays (Sarah was magnificent in adding a candle to our Sons Birthday and had everyone joining in the Birthday song. Mother’s Day again Gracie & Sarah served us.. always trying to please and check backs. Stevie is always extremely knowledgeable with the Menu! Happy Chappy and you can see his staff work well for him a fantastic work team Spirit. We’ve been coming here for well over a Year and always mean to write a review. So as I finish my glass of Sauvignon….. Thank you to all the staff at The Green Man at Trumpington….. Fabulous!

Dry very good, Sarah was outstanding

The service was exceptional - the food was of a high standard (compliments to the chef) and well presented - overall the experience was excellent - I hosted a party with a buffet laid on by the staff. Despite being a busy time of day the staff were very attentive and catered well for us all. I will definitely return!

I had £22 burgher and come out wrong from the kitchen. Not full and missing ingredients.I asked 3 times to the waiter if was the right one. After telling them what was missing all I had was a "Sorry about that". Maybe £20 is not much for them. Next time with my mates I go somewhere else. Thank you.

Food was just incredible, had a 3 course meal and did not disappoint, staff were friendly and welcoming, very attentive and helpful with dietary requirements, atmosphere was beautiful very well done all round

The service was very good and my gluten free dietary requirements were accommodated. Sarah was fantastic. Very knowledgeable, professional and friendly. I took a star down because since my first visit, I returned but I wasn't able to order anything from the menu because the server said they couldn't guarantee no cross contamination.

The manager who seated us was very polite he asked if we would like to order drinks. The server was very quick to take our order and the food came out in a timely manner.

Excellent quality food, with great service

Very good service and lovely food

Love this place,good value,lovely staff

Got a good ignoring when we first arrived. A nod and a "someone will be with you soon" would have shown our presence had been noted. Subsequently staff were very attentive providing good service. Good portions, well cooked and presented, promptly served. Good value.

Ate their twice in one week. Lunch and dinner. Very nice.

I actually resented paying £45 for a mediocre plant burger, a forgotten salad chucked in a tin and a glass of ok wine. Service was great and the pub had a good, cozy vibe but I think those prices just ride out from Cambridge, they certainly don't reflect good food. At least have the decency to put the pickles inside your cardboard burgers (this comes from a man who makes his own veggie burgers once a month).

The best served roast I've had in Cambridge, and the deserts at the end were incredible. Gracie was excellent at looking after us and the ambience in the pub was super cosy. Well worth it!

As family of 6, ordered wine and beers. Was asked who beers were for? Newly 18 yr old grandson was asked for ID which he didn’t have (only MPW ID). Waitress told my daughter, she could not have beer if she was to let ‘boy’ have some. Waitress dictated ‘Challenge’ rights at length by rote. I said we had not encountered that before. She then moved to stand next to 18 yr old, in front of his younger cousin in a silent restaurant, to repeat her right to challenge customers, insensitively embarrassing him. I repeated that was fine. She continued, as we discussed the order. Unnecessarily confrontational. Pizza was good, sides minimal, other food as expected but atmosphere in restaurant where only 2 tables were filled was more school like. Deterred from returning on service alone.

Great menu and drinks choice. Visited midweek at 8.30pm, very warm welcome. Meal (pie & mash) came out in 10 minutes, not hot, no salt & pepper at the table and no offer from the server for condiments, server did not return to table to see if everything was ok. Shame - could easily have been 5/5

Mixed feelings about this pub. Booked Sunday lunch and asked for quiet table but was given a table right near the entrance. Starters and deserts were good but felt a little pricey. Vegetarian Sunday roast - the vegetarian wellington was a bit over done. Would come back and give it another go if visiting Cambridge

Beautiful food brilliant staff had the best night we happened to turn up for food the same night they had their Halloween party music was brilliant thank you

The chicken pie was amazing. Truly blown away by the desserts. 9/10 restaurants in belgium dont even come close to what you presented us tonight. Im truly blessed to have eaten your delicious trio creation. Quality was outstanding.

Nice pub. Friendly staff. Service can be a bit slow at busy times. Still recommended over other options in Trumpington.

Nice gastro pub which we found on way Into Cambridge on a day visit, seemed very nice and food was well presented, steak was overcooked for the requested medium, but beef dripping sauce was lovely, I would say they seems to have a mad rush for a monday lunch time, and maybe not the staff to keep on top. Overall would recommend a visit I would image you could have a different experiences depending on date and time.

Friendly and welcoming service in a traditional setting. Excellent starters and main courses with something on the extensive menu to please all tastes. First class all round and understandably popular place to enjoy a great meal out. Well done to the whole team.

Duo Sunday lunch was delicious starters main & trio of deserts best roast in Cambridge well worth the money and visit😋😋

Nice place, good atmosphere, nice people

Rhys ana Sterie were amazing with our party !!! Service was amazing .food excellent !

We had our training day in the function room. The Green man's Team have been very helpful and accommodating! Great service and food, thank you!

Lola was so friendly, a lovely regular lunch spot, lovely fire!

Met friends for a drink. I have been here many times yet it is not fair to mark on food as I didn't eat except to say I have always had good food and service here and the staff were lively and engaging

A good place for catching up with friends , ample space for parking, good food , friendly and attentive staff .

Absolutely love this little pub. Never fails to impress and always my go to whenever eating out. However I’d like to say a very big thank you to for Sarah who always goes above and beyond for her customers. I recently visited to share with friends I was expecting a baby. From start to finish Sarah was absolutely amazing. Her and her lovely colleague made me my favourite cocktail (minus the alcohol of course) despite it not being on the menu so as not to raise suspicions. And she also went to the effort of secretly videoing the moment for me to remember the special occasion. Just the most lovely lady and always so welcoming! Thanks again Sarah for the brilliant service and making this occasion so memorable. It’s always a pleasure to be served by you.

We have visited The Green Man on several occasions and, today, once again both the food and the service were excellent. Remi looked after our table and was brilliant even giving excellent advice on wines and cocktails. Many thanks to everyone at the Green Man for making this a lovely afternoon

Sarah was absolutely lovely, she was attentive, smiling and making nice conversations with my 2 little girls. The food was delicious. Thank you!

Food was great, friendly staff and lovely atmosphere.

Excellent service and friendly staff

Michael was incredibly welcoming on arrival and gave fantastic service throughout our meal. Really attentive. Will, who was on his first day working at The Green Man was also incredibly courteous. We thank them very much for such a nice evening!

Sarah was an exceptional bartender. Very friendly and attentive. Also very helpful!

Sarah privided fabulous service, food was very good

Great pub to enjoy some local favorites and drinks. The pork belly and scallops was out of this world, and the prime cheeseburger my wife had was delicious.

Place looks a bit shabby outside but when you enter it's lovely. Great place

We went for lunch at the Green Man with some friends, the food was delicious and the atmosphere was really nice. had a lovely time and our friends were really impressed and said that they would come again.

Great atmosphere and great food would definitely recommend

The food was top notch and Bethany our waitress was very friendly and looked after us.

Chloe was so nice and helpful. The cod croquéttes and soup fell short of expectations and she was very kind and helpful and gave us a free meal in replacement. Very positive manager. Thanks

Meal was excellent. Sarah is brilliant as always. She brightens our week abs a very good communicater. I had the Hake special as did my friend and it was lovely.

Don’t listen to me - try it - you won’t be disappointed. However, if you can swing it so Sarah looks after you - bit like the icing on the cake.

My favourite pub in Trumpington! Food was so good and the staff were very friendly. It’s very popular in the weekends so make sure you book your place ahead of time. The cocktails are so amazing too! Some times the waiting time for food might be a bit long but it all worth it!

Came in for Sunday lunch, it was very busy but atmosphere was great and the food wass delicious.

Such a great roast dinner. Best in Cambridge Gracie was brilliant

Nice bar to go to on outskirts of Cambridge, just had a soft drink as I was just passing through into Cambridge

Nice venue. Went for Sunday roast and was a bit daunted by the amount of food on the plate.

Chloe was amazing, great service, we ordered the chateaux and was delicious

Sarah was so lovely and smiley, very kind and caring. 10/10 food thank you, I appreciate all the kind words and lovely smile

Visited on a Saturday night & the overall experience was awful. We had seen great reviews on trip advisor so we thought we had found a gem. The food was awfully dry and had NO flavour. The prawns tasted as if they had been sitting out for a hour, the steak came out and had no flavour. Worst £100 spent ever. Will not be returning!

Great evening out meeting with family. Lovely, delicious food and excellent service

Great food and drinks and amazing service from the brilliant Sarah, really keen to make sure we have had a good time for the short amount of time we were there

Myself and my partner came to the ABBA night and it was very good!. The place was nicely decorated and the atmosphere was really good. All the staff looked like they had the best time.

Parking difficult but otherwise excellent. Good service. Good food. Helpful staff.

Me and my sisters and Sarah came for lunch Kayden was our waiter. He was good at serving! It took like 5-10 minutes for all food to come to our table! And the pudding was amazing!! Mash 4 life!

Came here with my sisters and my mums friend Kaiden served us and made sure my gravy was on the side with my sausage and mash. Food was very nice.

Good food,friendly service,lovely and clean,and value for money

Was amazing service, lovely food and will be back again.

We had a lovely work dinner and a great service from Willow 😊

Ellie served us and she was was very smiley and polite. Food was from lunch menu The only thing I would say is thinner bread would be better. Other wise all very good.

Food and service was amazing thank you Sarah and staff for a wonderful experience

Good evening meal with a friend. Booked online, which was very straightforward. Good choices on the menu. Delicious food and friendly service. Quieter than expected but still quite busy. The restaurant had a good ambience.😋 However, the only downside was the ladies' restrooms. I was surprised to find graffiti on doors and cleanliness of floors not very good. Certainly could do with being refreshed 😌

The food was lovely and great service from the bar staff

We had a great family dinner. I have been there several times before, and it didn't disappoint. The menu, service and general atmosphere has improved hugely since the change in owner. The food was brought promptly, and was excellent. Really good, actually. We had brilliant service from Sarah. Fantastic. Thank you! Marks out of 10, 9. Would I go again. Definitely.

Amazeballs, food atmosphere and oir amazing waitress sarah

Sarah was really helpful and the service was great

Sarah was very friendly and her service was great, met with family for lunch and she made sure we had everything we needed

We had a lovely sunny evening in the pub garden for dinner and some drinks, the food was good and Steve was a great host also!

We loved everything about this restaurant. We literally have nothing to say on what you could improve. The food and drinks were amazing, the staff was super friendly (thank you Gracy) and the place looks beautiful.

Friendly staff, great atmosphere. Good food with lots of choices. Large wine list. Attentive if allergies made known. No mad rush to move people along, leaving us to have a fab evening. This is our third time of visiting and will defo go back 👍

Gosh It was great as we had lunch and the service food and ambience was superb. Have visited here for the Last 40 years and it has waxed and waned. Today was faultless. Thank you. Haven't been for quite a while and had a lovely meal from the new and innovative menu. The duck salad was to die for. Attentive service and will be back soon.

Fantastic food, delicious steaks! Lovely service by Sarah, looked after us brilliantly. Would always recommend.

Lovely friendly atmosphere. Staff were very welcoming and didn't rush us when they realised we were lovely ladies catching up with each other. Food was delicious, I had the beef brisket and cheese pie which was delicious 😋

High prices, seemingly thinks it’s better than it is. The billionaire fries were really disappointing. Car park is a decent size.

Place is lovely, good ambience always a pleasure to go to.

Absolutely love the Green Man! Great space for a post work pint or 3. The food is incredible & the team are always super welcoming & friendly. Special kudos to Sarah who always goes the extra mile.

Fantastic place! Delicious food, gregat atmosphere and incredible service. The team is always super friendly and welcoming; especially Sarah. Can't wait for my next pint.

Lovely food and staff, especially Michael.

Great atmosphere, great staff, dogs always welcome. Sarah and the rest of the team are lovely

I recently dined at The Green Man and was absolutely blown away by the exceptional service provided by Remi. From the moment we walked in, she greeted us with a warm smile and made us feel incredibly welcome. Her attention to detail was impeccable; she ensured that every aspect of our dining experience was perfect. The highlight of the evening was when she went out of her way to accommodate a special dietary request with ease and grace, ensuring that everyone in our party was satisfied. If you're looking for a place with outstanding service, The Green Man is a must-visit, and be sure to ask for Remi.

Very well known restaurant pub in Cambridge. Lots of parking space and safe. You can seat in their beautiful garden to have drinks only or lunch. Inside you have the pub service on one side which is very nice family friendly. On the other side it's the restaurant very nice cosy with a big fire place in the middle of the restaurant. You can have a romantic dinner, family dinner or group it's very big. You are not on top of each other enough room between the tables. The food is simply delicious served like a gourmet restaurant. Lots of wine choice. Absolutely great place for any occasion. Staff very friendly.

Had a very nice evening here with my partner. Will come again.

We thought the food was o.k,nothing special,the table was wobbly which was very annoying

Excellent all round. Sarah was fantastic. Would definitely cone again. First time here and had a lovely time.
