The Maid's Head in East Cambridgeshire

I stayed at the campsite down the road so obviously had to try this pub out. This pub is fantastic, we had a good drink on the Friday night which also had a happy hour which was a bonus. Booked in for Sunday lunch which was absolutely fantastic, even had a gluten free option which I don't always find on a pub menu and my friend is wheat intolerant. The staff were friendly, funny and extremely polite, beautiful pub and amazing food. Highly recommended.

This was our 1st visit since it’s been taken over, we ordered mains, two Sunday Roasts, the beef was cooked to perfection, plenty of mixed veg, one had the fish and chips very tasty, the other had Roast Chicken Supreme, we had to wait a while, it wasn’t busy, had to ask when would our meal be served? As a gesture of good will the manager took the drinks off the bill, we will be returning as the food was very tasty, nice to see a different menu too

Visited with our children after a local farm day, great beer and service. The adult meals were really good as was one of the children’s burgers. The children’s pizza was however really poor for £8.50 and should be looked at.

Great Pub under new management. wonderful happy staff. Great Landlord. The food was excellent. We will be telling our local friends in Ely and Cambridge.

Great little pub in the heart of the village. Visited twice during the week we were staying in a lovely barn conversion in the village. Delicious steaks and burgers and the homemade onion rings are to die for! Lovely outside seating area for the first bit of sunshine this year, dog friendly.

A great birthday celebration with family and friends. Friendly staff and great food, along with a nice selection of drinks.

We were staying for the week at a cottage in the village of Wicken and so on principle we were always going to have a dinner on one evening at the local pub(support your local). This particular early evening was a Wednesday and it was Fish evening on so we all ordered fish and chips and enjoyed this tasty delight, washed down with a local ale. The pub is closed on Monday and Tuesday, we had hoped to enjoy the a la carte menu but overall happy with our visit. Outdoor seating available at this delightful pub at the heart of a beautiful village.

This is a fantastic Pub/Restaurant with extremely poor management. Father's Day family get together was a disaster and the management has not even got the courtesy to apologise. So many things went wrong with food, service, and cleanliness that I will avoid Maids Head in future.

We have been to the Maids Head before as we can cycle from Burwell.We went on Friday & I must say that the food was absolutely awful.I had a meat pizza - it was small,lacking ingredients,undercooked & cold,my wife had lamb kofta that was dreadful - tasteless & cold.We complained but it didn’t seem to have much impact.

We were here for a family reunion on Fathers Day. I was going to give 3 stars but having had no response to 2 feedback emails that I sent I have downgraded it. This is the honest feedback that I sent:- "I’d like to thank you for your help in putting our family meet together. We were pleased with the comfort and ambience of the area where we were sat. We also felt the staff were pleasant and courteous. The meals and the drinks received a mixed feedback. We felt that the vegetables and sauces were very good although a group of 4 were given a small dish of green vegetables to share. Some time later a request for more green vegetables was dealt with but the timing was not good. The fish and chips were commonly well received. I’m afraid that the other aspects of food and drink and most importantly ORGANISATION were poor. When we arrived a waiter came over to take orders of the people that had not placed an advanced order. 2 people at one end of the table asked about the ordered drinks and had to say what they ordered and their order was delivered. I was a little concerned that 2 coffees ordered for the sweets of Peter and Jenny were bought with those 2 drinks but they seemed OK with taking them then and despite all the complaints in this email I don’t want to find fault. At my end of the table the waiter told me that he would come to me with my order but he must have forgotten. Starters were brought for those few that ordered them and a waitress eventually came through to enquire if everyone was OK. I said me and my wife were still waiting for our drinks order. After another 10 minutes someone cam back with the 2 decaf flat whites that we ordered for the end of the meal. Unfortunately the waiter, who was clearly distressed to be told to take them back and bring the correct drinks order, wished to engage with me in a disagreement about where the fault for this lay in front of all my family. This did upset me. Eventually my ale and my wife’s wine was delivered to us – it had taken over 90 minutes to arrive and both the ale was tainted and the red wine not pleasant. In addition the 2 pre-ordered drinks were brought for a second time! The poor organisation also meant the meals did not arrive in good time. After nearly 2 hours most people had not had a bite to eat. The meat was very poor. The beef was inedible (very tough) and the poor standards of both meats was fed back to a waitress. By the time that sweets arrived staff was particularly flustered. The sweets came so late that 3 of the people that had ordered ice creams had to leave to catch their train. Again our drinks were forgotten so I asked for the 2 decaf flat whites. These were eventually brought but they were luke warm. My wife felt embarrassed for the staff so she drunk hers anyway as she did not want another accusatory conversation in front of our group. I had to ask for mine to be replaced as I felt that it was unpleasant." That concludes my feedback although I should say that there were other deficiencies. You have been warned!

This used to be a pub with great food and generous portions. The menu has shrunk. Only four starters available. The halloumi and chips had two large pieces of battered halloumi and a large portion of chips. Today I had one piece of halloumi and 18 chips…! For the same price. We had a time piece of fish with again a tiny portion of chips. The ‘wood fired pizza’ was a disgrace. Came out under cooked and cold. We sent it back. When it returned it was floppy like it had been in the microwave. We always go to this pub for a special occasion. This was a 30th birthday. We will not return for any future events. Poor poor poor. Even the cherry tree in Soham does better food than this.

A very characterful pub/restaurant that has been brought up to dat with modern furnishings and fittings. Off the tourist track (A1123) back from the main road with a lot of green for outdoor seating and eating. Good size car park away from the road. Good seperate bar and restaurant areas. Friendly and polite staff. Variety of menus which vary from day to day with lighter main meals mid-week than at weekends. Locally sourced ingredients sourced for most dishes, good range of Beers, wines and spirits. Food was well cooked, presented and served. Reasonable prices.

Another fantastic meal atThe Maids Head.Altough we only booked a couple of hours before, they managed to fit us in at the required time,and our party of four was seated promptly on arrival .The drinks order was taken and arrived very promptly. The bank holiday lunch menu had something for everyone, we chose the gammon, the sausage ciabatta and the burger.All dishes arrived promptly and piping hot.Everything was cooked to perfection. The handcut chips were fantastic.Sweets were ordered and served in the same timely manner, and the waffles were fantastic All in all another fantastic dining experience. Staff are so welcoming and friendly, and nothing is too much trouble.We think it's great value for money , and will certainly be visiting again.

Average and expensive. Could cook better at home. Had to ask for additional cutlery. Waitress disinterested. Cold inside.

Most amazing roast dinners. Often come here and never dissatisfied. Gorgeous setting and very friendly staff.

Visiting friends locally, we popped into the Maids Head for Sunday Lunch. Very impressed.. good portion size and great service (young dark haired waitress, very friendly). Would certainly go back next time and take our dog. Highly recommend.

Moored our boat at the end of Wicken Lode and then walked through the nature reserve and village to find this pub (approx 1 mile walk). It only did Fish and Chips or Halloumi and chips as it was a Wednesday. They did a smaller portion for our boy and all plates came with mushy peas and tartar sauce. Good sized portion and delicious. The chips were fabulous. Service was friendly and food came quickly. Also dog friendly in the bar which is always a win. Would visit again to try their restaurant menu.

We are regulars to The Maid's Head and have always been very satisfied, and the Boxing Day set menu was no exception. Service was excellent despite a very busy atmosphere. Steak particularly good, and treacle tart wonderful. Highly recommended as ever.

Visited last Thursday evening with a large group of work colleagues for our Christmas ‘do’. The service was really good, very friendly staff. The food was fabulous. Will definitely visit again.

Unfortunately didn’t live up to expectations. It was very cold inside, my parents sat in coats. There was a long wait to be given a menu the waitress just said sorry there is a delay, we don’t have barely any, finally got one paper menu to share with whole table. Then had to wait again for the starter menu, ordered calamari, and you get three rings (similar size to onion rings)expensive for what you get. Roasts were nice but vegetables were small portions, two small trays between four. They asked us if we wanted dessert menus, which we did. We was given three menus which there was different options on, very strange. The waitress taking food orders was very pleasant. Think some back ground music would be nice touch. Unfortunately we wouldn’t rush back, not up to the normal Holland name.

Freezing cold in pub, sat with coats on. Went with 4 girls for lunch, one being celiac - everything with Gluten Free next to it on menu is not - they only have 1 chip fryer which everything is fried in. We said that this...

A great place to eat. An old pub with wood fires and cosy atmosphere. Food prepared to a high standard. Friendly service too. Roast dinner with all the trimmings and tender meat. Lovely.

We have been twice to the Maids Head for lunch, once on a Sunday and once on Saturday. On both days the quality of food has been excellent, and is also reasonably priced. Lovely atmosphere in a cosy inn with friendly staff. Also located ideally...

Came a few weeks ago and was excited to return, but experienced very poor service and it was very unorganised. The app wasn’t working which was not an issue but upon arrival they said it was fine to order on there, so ended up waiting for nothing. I will not be returning

We had booked for sunday and were delighted with our meal. Choice of starters was good- the mussels were tasty and the sourdough bread v nice - not sure sausages were that special in the end but my partner liked them.The roast though was v good- wonderful array of veg- 3 different bowls - petit pois, shredded cabbage and beans were delicious.No room for dessert. This place works hard to ensure diners enjoy their meal and are to be commended. Looking forward to return visit.Great to see it popular and for the pub to be so welcoming to all

Lovely food and amazing service. Food was very enjoyable and reasonably priced. Came here for a Saturday lunch after already trying one of their other pubs in burwell and enjoying it! Wasn’t disappointed at all, staff were so lovely and friendly. Will definitely be coming back soon!

We arrived on a wet Sunday in October. Knowing that last orders for food were 6pm , we thought we would arrive early. The pub at this time was very quiet with about 3 couples eating. Our roast was tasty but over priced at £15.00 a head. We had two slices of beef each, a rather poor example of a Yorkshire pudding that unfortunately hadn't risen and some tasty veg and very average roast potatoes .Maybe the offer would have been better nearer lunchtime.Little info or signage re social distancing . Just how to get in and get out of the building.

We popped in one Saturday lunch time after passing many times and it looking so lovely.What a lovely welcome, the tone lad behind the bar and the two ladies serving were fantastic, big smiles and happy to help.Food menu was good with a couple of specials too.We went for the homemade burgers which were cook perfectly and so tasty.Well done guys, will be back very soon!

Absolutely brilliant! A quick lunch visit at the end of a 15km walk. We arrived just before lunch serving ended and nothing was too much trouble. Excellent food and service.

Passed by a few times and it is always busy, but came on a weekday and much quieter for lunch. The food was very nice though several options were not available because there hadn't been a delivery yet. Good one-way system in place for Covid, and luckily we had choice of seating options as the weather got a bit chilly. Overall, good, but best if you avoid very busy times. Finish off with a stroll around the village green with duck pond and picturesque thatched cottages.

Starter was tiny; main course very good. Service was very slow and we had to keep getting their attention even though the restaurant was not busy.

I have never been to a restaurant where Nearly everything was perfect but honestly this place ticks all of my boxes. The food was great! we had a burger and battered cod and chips and I was in heaven. The waitress that we had was bloody brilliant. she went out of her way to make sure that we had everything we needed. she was very engaging with conversations. We were talking about many things with her and she was adding in her opinion like what to try from the menu (we had what she recommended and she was right it was bloody brilliant). I wish i had caught the young girls name because she deserves to know how thankful we are for making our experience with you the Best !!!The atmosphere in the restaurant was just as good as everything else. It was quieter then we expected at 4pm but none the less we still had a great experience !!

We decided to stop here as we are on our way home to Cornwall from Norfolk and the pub is in our Brit stops stop over book. We were given a very warm welcome and shown to a table in the bar where we could sit with our little dog. We ordered two rump steaks and two drinks the service was very quick and polite and the food was also very quick to arrive and we both agreed that it was an incredible steak, cooked to perfection nice and charred on the outside but still red and juicy in the middle, the accompanying salad was tasty and fresh and the portion size was also spot on!! We will definitely be back if we are in the area again!

The biggest “plus” this evening for me was the service. Engaging, friendly and knowledgeable. Food was good (we all chose basic dishes) and was served swiftly, without fuss. Really nice atmosphere in a busy restaurant.

Went here after a walk around the village and fen walk with the dogs for lunch. Sat outside, lots of socially distanced tables on a large well kept lawn. Waitress friendly and helpful and brought dogs water straight away. Very good different menu and specials board. One way system inside the pub too. Food came quick and was very well cooked, presented and tasty! Had the moules, Piri Piri half chicken and chips and mushed up pulled pork burger. All was wonderfully flavoursome. Highly recommend and would definitely go back if in the area although understand dogs not welcome inside so would have to be nice outside, although they did have a large gazebo. Wish we had found before!

Really enjoyed our evening here, it was very busy but we weren’t kept waiting for long & the staff were still smiling!There was a mistake on the table next to us & the waitress came out & with no bull put her hands up to it & the problem was sorted - good to hear the honesty!I had the smashed burger which was perfect & wife had the chicken tangine which was a little lacking in spice but again very nice!We will definitely return!

I stopped here today with a friend mid walk for a couple of drinks and a little bit to eat. On a sunny day it's a lovely place to sit outside.The thing that really disappointed is that with all the publicity there is about single use plastic, if you sit out side that's how your drinks come!Why, for no other reason than it's easier, one drink and a few hundred years in landfill, including a ridiculous plastic cocktail stirrer for a cranberry and soda. Come on The Maids Head, you can do better than this, you didn't used to use plastic, why start now, when it is so clearly the wrong thing to do?

Had a lovely meal outdoors second time I have been here now and would thoroughly recommend! I had the spaghetti with clams and white which was delicious followed by the cheesecake, only thing was that the service was a little poor staff seemed bit stressed with how busy it was and we had to keep asking for our plates to be cleared. I think it would have been a better experience dining in but will definitely return

Rural England has a much higher percentage of Anglo-Saxons living there than urban England and for that reason I find rural area's in England much more sexy, pleasant, motherly and loving. My sperm is always very happy when I visit this lovely pub because they know they're going to have the chance of being my child every time me and my white sausage goes to this fine ancient little pub gently perched on the fine rural heartlands of the damp pleasant island known as Great Britain.

Despite restricted menu, the kitchen had a problem with an extractor fan, the food we had was delicious and we were all pleased with our choices. Portions of a good size. Reasonable prices. Helpful and friendly staff. We were so happy with our meal that we are going back again this week.

Had Sunday lunch; lots of fresh veg and nicely cooked leg of lean Roast Lamb . Staff were very pleasant and service was efficient. Lovely log fire too. There was also a choice of 3 non-alcoholic wines

Very disappointed. No soup or pie available. My burger was overcooked, dry and tasteless and we waited quite a long time although the place was nowhere near full. Sorry to say but wouldn't go back.

Last Saturday I went on a date to the Maids Head and it was the best meal that I have had. The atmosphere was out of this world. It was a quiet day but I was amazed at the kind waiting staff and the delicious food. We were sat on the table by the fire and we thought that meant we would be forgotten. We were wrong !!! We had great service. As soon as we finished a drink we got asked if we would like another drink and they came over two or three times while we were eating just to check everything was ok. What an excellent pub !!!!

Felt a bit smokey on arrival due to the large open fireplace. Staff were really friendly and the food was delicious!

Great Sunday lunch following a dog walk at Wicken Fen

Nice busy pub for Sunday lunch. Seemed a bit short of staff and we were unlucky to visit when one of the chefs was off due to wife giving birth. Good menu and well presented food, worth another visit.

Food good, service very slow, overall experience spoilt by noisy children. Landlord apologised, a chef off due to wife having a baby, we may have been unlucky

Table of 4 no one else in restaurant, rushed to table and to order food. Had to ask for steak knives and sauces. We asked if we could wait 5 minutes before looking at desserts menu to be told “The kitchen closes at 9pm” and again felt rushed. A lock in card game was going on in the next room and the shouting and appalling language we had to listen to while having our meal was a disgrace.

Had a lovely Christmas day lunch here. Staff were friendly and attentive. The food was nicely presented and very tasty. We had a wait for our main course after our starters but as food is cooked to order, this was to be expected and the beef was so tender when it arrived, it melted in your mouth. The chocolate torte was delicious.

Perfect menu, lots of choice. Reasonably priced. We are everything - a good sign. The room was too cold and it took ages for the radiator to heat up. Other than that - very good indeed.

Menu looked inviting, but that’s where it ended, we both ordered Homemade Pie and mash, my friends pastry was burnt,mine was so hard I just left it, the meat looked like it had been cut off a cooked joint of beef and cubed and was dried up in places, the mash had no seasoning and wasn’t creamed , and of course “peas and carrots” and chopped up frozen runners , the gravy was like water, when the “Waitress “ asked if everything was ok, we replied No , her response Oh Dear ! And walked away , certainly would return , and very disappointed as this was for my Birthday !!

The pub is in the village of Wicken (which Tripadvisor didn't recognise!) We went for a meal after a visit to Wicken Fen, the first National Trust nature reserve. We were very pleased with the service, the meal and especially that there was a real choice of gluten-free meals and a gluten-free beer.

We stopped here for Sunday lunch after a walk by Wicken Fen, and it was awful.From the outside it looked good, and the real log fire was appealing. But it went downhill from there.The table was a bit sticky and obviously not cleaned properly, but we gave them the benefit of the doubt. Having had the meal I wish we had left then!I have the beef Sunday roast. The vegetables were overcooked and soggy - like something from the 70's (I think that might be when they started cooking them!). The gravy was watery and this meant that the beef was also wet through. My wife's fish and chips were no better - undercooked chips and a barely cooked fish.The pub was fairly busy, but based on our visit I'm not sure why. The service was fairly quick, but I wish they had been full and we'd gone elsewhere.

We had a very nice Sunday roast . Cater really well for gluten free diners. Very friendly, attentive staff .

We booked expecting that the Maids Head might be busy (on a Friday evening) but when we arrived they were actually pretty quiet, maybe because the weather was bad. The menu choice was good, plenty of variety and enough to suit all 4 of us. Starters arrived about 15 minutes after ordering and the main courses I guess 15 minutes after we finished the starters. The food was really good, everyone said they enjoyed it. Both the starters and the mains were larger portion sizes than we expected. But we tried really hard and fisnished them. I hope to visist again next time we are near to Wicken.

The menu proudly declares that each dish is prepared from scratch, but fails to alert potential diners that may entail a mighty wait. Drinks and menus and waitresses arrived in quick succession but the hiatus between ordering and eating had me thinking i might need to send out a search party.i also seriously doubt my salad was assembled from scratch unless opening a bag of Florette counts.

Nice meal shame about temperature , far too cool. Food was good arrived on hot plates but unfortunately due to temperature of dining room cooled down almost immediately. Thanks for the Birthday ice cream and candle. Good friendly staff and prompt service

This place has been going downhill steadily from its zenith 25 years ago, but since the new publicans took over it has deteriorated noticeably. Three of us had dinner there on a Friday night. Over the course of three hours, we were the only guests. Yet it took forty minutes for them to deliver two mediocre portions of fish and chips with raw peas and a portion of vegetable kebabs, which consisted of raw, badly cut courgette, some impossibly strong onion, squishy tomato and raw pepper. The cheese and icecream were better, but clearly bought in. The whole was rather over-priced. The aim seems to be to turn this into a drinkers' pub for locals featuring loud, inferior bands. Such a shame for a place in such a wonderful location which, with sensitive management and good cuisine, could go back to its former days when you had to book a table six weeks ahead, even on a Monday.

Good food. Very generous portions. Well kept beer. Great service.

We went to the Maids head for a sunday lunch today. The service initially was very good and the starters arrived quickly. But then we waited for over an hour for the main course to arrive.The roast was ok. Meat was over done and the potatoes were very dry like they had been kept warm way to long.I had a giant yorkie which was hard and a bit scored on the bottom. Portions where very large and what they had in quantity they lacked in quality.Over all disappointing.

Been to The Maids Head at Wicken a few times, either passing through or a special trip, always good.

We happened upon the delightful Maid's Head whilst visiting the nearby National Trust Wicken Fen. The pub is very old worldly and is a rebuilt 13th century inn, the last remaining pub of 3 originally in Wicken.The service was excellent, as was the food choice. We just wanted a lunchtime snack and enjoyed super sandwiches and chips accompanied by crisps and a generous side salad. There were plenty of people enjoying larger meals.We would definitely revisit if in the area again. A big thumbs up!

Nice pub with great food all was fine , waiting time was acceptable , very good place to play hide and seek ( from my granddaughter ))))

Pub food at restaurant prices. Mash was lumpy. Veg clearly frozen. Sausages not bad but not good quality. Garlic bread awful. Service very slow.

The pub itself needs updating and a general spruce up. Very tired looking interior. However the staff were very friendly and the food was good value, home made and a large portion.

The service here was poor, so was the food. The waitress took drinks order but forgot to bring them. The plates of food arrived but we had no cutlery. The food was very basic and tasteless. Will not be returning. Very dissatisfied .its a pity because it's a pretty little pub on the green and quite traditional inside with beams etc. I wish we had had a better experience.

The pub looked great and we booked a table for dinner. We arrived early (7.00 pm) and a group of couples in the bar had clearly already had quite a lot to drink and were so noisy the waitress had to close the door into the eating area. My prawn cocktail starter was actually shrimp - still wet from defrosting which made the sauce very watery as well. My son's rib starter was swimming in oil and the amount of fat on the ribs was over 50% of the ribs, but as it was all buried under the sauce you only discovered that when you bit into it. My scampi wasn't very flavourful and my sons steak pie and mash was clearly not home made and simply put from the freezer direct to the microwave. I know the owners say that everything is prepared fresh but it definitely isn't. With such a small menu it should all be cooked fresh and there is no justification for microwaving frozen food. We will not be going back unfortunately.

Beautiful premises but couldn't recommend for Sunday lunch. Roast potatoes weren't homemade and the yorkshire pudding was very doughy. Only two small slices of chicken although the lamb and beef portions were more generous. However, desserts were excellent.

Having spent the morning with the dogs at Wicken Fen we booked lunch for 1pm we were about 10 mins late no problem, the dogs could sit in the bar with us while we had lunch and then into the garden for coffee and ice cream

Having recently bought a house nearby, I took a group of family “helpers” to the pub on a Friday evening where, following a couple of drinks, the party decided they were hungry and food was duly ordered.

Great food great service very enjoyable experience as we had the dogs we ate in the bar and retired to the garden for coffee and ice cream beautiful surroundings

Food was delicious and great portions, staff were incredibly welcoming and friendly. Would strongly recommend a visit and will definitely visit again

We came as a group of walkers and were promptly served a wide range of main dishes for lunch.
