Stopped here on our way home from holiday. I had beef roast and my husband had lamb. The best roast we’ve had for ages. Lots of beautiful veg cooked to perfection. The Yorkshire pudding was delightful and all tasted homemade. In addition, it came with cauliflower cheese. Loads of meat. My husband then had apple crumble, he loved it. Will definitely return. Staff extremely friendly too

Sunday roast at the New Sun Inn- a late decision as couldn’t be bothered to cook at home. Great starter shared between us but the star was the roast dinner. Beautifully presented and really well cooked. Lovely selection of veggies. Perfect Yorkshire puddings and a really generous serving of the meats. Highly recommend!!

Excellent roast dinner for reasonable price. Had the beef which was cooked perfectly and the horseradish sauce is the best I’ve tried. Nice touch that they provide extra gravy and cauliflower cheese for the table. Roast potatoes not very crispy but that’s only a small complaint. Otherwise fantastic and generous portion.

The lunch today,having not booked, to find the restaurant was almost fully booked, however the staff and chef accommodated us. The was an excellent choice on the menu and specials board. We settled for Thai curry and a Yorkshire wrap of chicken and roast potatoes. Both were absolutely delicious. Brilliant service. Good choice of beers, I.e. Timothy Taylor Landlord at the bar. Thanks to all.

It was pretty busy and a bit slow but the m/r beef was excellent and a huge portion, accompanied by 5 different vegetables, crispy roast pots and v good Yorkshire pudd. Good dessert choice and was all (inc glass of Merlot) very reasonably priced.

I’m so in love with this place!! A home from home! True regulars, a real warm hearty English pub! The menu is exactly what you would expect and so much more, the presentation is insane, everyone said wow as they were given food! The steak was amazing, the pork belly was a favourite, the lamb rump and venison specials looked amazing! Even the prawn cocktail and the pate starters could have been mains, the portions are so generous! The aesthetic of the place is so cosy and chill, good background music and lighting. I will most definitely be returning! They catered for my friends vegan and gluten free needs, the menu is very inclusive! It’s a small team and you can feel that they really care!

Very cold with constantly hanging kitchen door. Staff did their best & were pleasant but we ate with our coats on & jumped every time the door went bang! Fish lovely & crisp, chips not so crisp & steak expensive & chewy. Not a great meal, memorable but for the wrong reasons. Shame as it is now the only pub in Kimbolton.

Lovely food, very good portions! The menu is understated, but what you are served is far from that. For example, the simply titled starter of chicken liver pate and toast, is actually a generous platter of plenty of toasted sourdough, chutney, pate and salad. They have a specials menu too. Tonight’s included excellent braised pig cheeks and one of the best sea bass dishes I have had in a long time. The prices are very reasonable for the quality. We will definitely be back and would highly recommend. We had a lovely evening.

Friendly staff. Met with a smile and helpfulness. Food is another story. Worst pork belly we've ever had. Fat not fully rendered so we had a plate of white, soggy mess. Crackling was not crisp, so couldn't cut it let alone eat it. We mentioned our displeasure, and were assured that the meal was cooked freshly for us (slow cooked pork??). The outside of the meat was dry, the inside extremely hot but I was assured that a microwave had not been used. My partner ate most of his meal, leaving only the soggy fat. I gave up half way. Apologies were given by the young front of house staff. Full price asked for and paid. Needless to say, we will not be returning.

We visited a few times whilst staying in Kimbolton over New year. We ate once and the food was OK. 2x fish & chips, 2 x burgers. Fish cooked nicely but batter was very oily & a bit soggy, chips were more like wedges and definitely undercooked, we did mention this but didn't get much response other than a "sorry 'bout that". 2 x real ale on from Charlie Wells but neither to our taste. Staff friendly and they had a good singer and party atmosphere on New Years Eve.
