The Pheasant in South Cambridgeshire

Popped in on the off chance on our way past and the food was absolutely lovely will 100% be back! Alice was really helpful, friendly and easy to talk to she recommended a few things I might like and wasn’t wrong! Chips were possibly the best I’ve had 😍

Great food! Good service Great local atmosphere!

Amazing food, shame about the customer service. We arrived at the bar which wasn't busy, the young girl didn't even acknowledge us standing there which we were there a good few minutes, then another young girl came behind the bar still no acknowledgement, just talking to each other, eventually taken to the table, after a few minutes a nice gentleman came & took our drinks order, then on returning with our drinks he took our food order. The food looked amazing & tasted great, shame there was no check back during the meal to see if everything was ok or when the plates were cleared, the young girl didn't ask if everything was ok or did we want more drinks??? Shame the young girls let the pub down, everyone has to learn but a smile & a hello costs nothing.

Wedding anniversary lunch and the Pheasant didn't disappoint, fantastic food just a shame we left it so long to come back, looking forward to the Friday fish night. Thanks Guys

What a lovely little pub! With great food! Stopped off for a drink, ended up having Sunday lunch, and we were pleasantly surprised. Food was lovely. Atmosphere was really good, with a fantastic garden out the back!! Traditional English pub, that's also dog friendly!! Will be back for sure!!

Great service and good quality food. The staff were very friendly and helpful.

Good beer, friendly staff, fabulous food. The Sunday roast was amazing

Popped in for a posh sandwich and a pint after golf. Excellent club sandwich , great atmosphere . Recommend

Great food and a great service. Been here a few times now and they are yet to disappoint.

Nice pub, friendly and welcoming staff.

Lovely country pub! Friendly owner and staff. Large garden with plenty of seating too.

Typical place with a very beautiful and characteristic environment. Very good and well prepared dishes. Good choice of beers. Fast and very friendly staff.

We started going to the Pheasant last summer and have enjoyed so many lovely meals since. The Sunday lunches are immense, but the best night of the week is pie night! Today we popped in with friends to try the new summer menu (see pics). So impressed with the new dishes! The welcome is friendly, and the pub has such a lovely atmosphere. Just a really lovely village pub - and dog friendly too.

Best villge pub /restaurant. Food fantastic Staff exceptional Beer fantastic 👌

Very attentive and helpful staff greatfood and a lovely atmosphere also have great local ales from Tring brewery.

Popped in last Sunday during a walk with the dog and sat in the lovely garden. Next thing I know, the Landlord is bringing our drinks out to us on a tray! The food and service was excellent and the staff couldn't do enough for us. Great beer, great service and great food. I can't recommend this place enough and we will certainly be back very soon. Thank you Pheasant for a lovely afternoon.

Had an evening meal for 2, super friendly staff, not rushed in any way. Delicious food and very reasonably priced. Really enjoyed our evening there. Thank you team Pheasant!

Delicious food and lovely staff. Very welcoming with a handshake and a smile. Fab place. We will be back for the amazing Sunday roast. Definitely 5⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

The food is always excellent here. Pie night on Wednesday is a choice of beef,pork or veggie and is hearty and tasty. The normal menu has good fish and chips and a burger. The disabled access in the newer extension is difficult to access with a higher than needed threshold to get a chair up. The staff are always friendly and helpful. The choice of hand pumps for beer is good.

Just been to The Pheasant for breakfast. Greeted straight away by Mike who was very friendly and welcoming. The Full English breakfast looked and tasted fantastic. We will definitely be back!

This is such a nice place, staff were very welcoming, food was very good and well served. We will visit again as soon as the weather improves, as the garden facilities look inviting.

Excellent pub, with a good selection of ales and wines. Friendly staff with a great atmosphere.

Thanks for a lovely Sunday roast.

Nice friendly country pub with a good range of sandwiches, great chips and drinks for our cycle group's lunch.

Great food, amazing service, beautiful garden and surroundings, clean and tidy.

Great Sunday roast in both quality and quantity. Desserts were also great and very friendly staff with a warm atmosphere

Quiet when we visited but very nice, welcoming pub, good service and tasty food. Would go again.

A delightfully traditional pub with a contemporary menu. We stopped in here for lunch one weekday during the summer holidays. We were able to park in the car park. Luckily we arrived and ordered just before a large party with children arrived for lunch. The blackboards advertised a regular quiz night (also happens to be on pie night), a "bring your own vinyl" night and other speciality nights. There were two lunch menus; a sandwich menu and cooked meal menu, both of which cater for every taste. The barmen were happy to chat and served us quickly. My brother was pleased as he was able to get one of his favourite beers on tap. The best bit for me? Seeing a dartboard, packs of playing cards and dominoes to play with. As we left we realised there was a large beer garden out the back. Will certainly be going back again.

Good old English country pub. Liam was our friendly attentive staff member. Limited menu which means the dishes are all well cooked and presented. Good selection of beers. I hear the roast is exceptional so intend on a revisit soon.

Had a great Monday evening meal. The only pub in the area to be open/serving on a Monday. Great service, very friendly, and fantastic food.

A pub is only as good as it's management and staff! Mike, Liam and the gang at The Pheasant really do make it a lovely place to be. We've not had a full on meal there yet, but I am looking forward to trying the main menu and cheeseboard. We have however had the happy hour deal between 4pm and 6pm on Fridays... Free food (nibbles) with a drink!! Even better is they do a loyalty card... Looking forward to summer and autumn evenings here with my family!

New management have taken over and it’s amazing 😍 free selection of bar snacks every Friday with a drink from 4:00! Friendly staff and so accommodating! Garden is huge with lots of picnic benches to choose from!

A true hidden diamond, we went for a date night with excellent food, grate service and fantastic pints. I throw my first bullseye at this pub. If you are passing through it’s a must visit pub.

Popped in today to sample the Saturday Brunch. Was not disappointed, the chorizo hash topped off with a beautifully fried egg was gorgeous. Later on, we treated ourselves to the chocolate brownie bites which were brilliant. Lovely friendly pub, attentive staff and a good vibe too.

Lovely village pub and great food.

Such lovely staff, cute little pub and food was great!

Great pub, great beers and great staff 😊

Staff is very friendly. Menu does have gluten-free option.

What can I say? Amazing pub, friendly locals, great prices and the food is brilliant too! Staff are friendly and good for a chat as well. Really made our little getaway much better than it already was. Recommend 100%.

Great food service was excellent Cosy pub really worth a try had a table for 2

Lovely pub, welcoming friendly staff and delicious food. Fab Sunday lunch with family and very happy with great vegetarian choices. Thank you 😊

Wine and starter fine, main course very disappointing, batter on fish not crispy, chips I would argue were not 'hand cut' very stodgy macaroni cheese , not what you would expect for the price Will not be rushing back

My Birthday surprise was a meal with all My friends and family.. in many ways was ruined by the embarrassment of the service and the food or lack of it. Where do I start !! Portion sizes were ludicrous across the board we were all still hungry after the main course.. the burgers were pretty basic with no trimmings and they had run out of burger buns so they were using gluten free ones which from experience being gluten free myself are a poor substitute .The salmon was probably the worst portion size just a small cup of rice served with the salmon and a leaf in a pudding bowl. Two thirds of the party had to change their choice of main course and puddings as they had run out . Service was also poor waiting for spoons after our pudding were bought up and having to remind them several times.Coffees were also cold. Overall they are charging top prices for very basic food. This pub seems to have taken a nose dive since I last went there in the summer and had a lovely Sunday Lunch. Basically we won’t be going back there in a hurry. Ashame as once it was a good pub.!!!!

Fantastic roast beef lunch, great staff and service

Gorgeous experience Visited once with friends for a big birthday last week, then returned for Sunday lunch with my husband today. The food was exceptional and such friendly staff. Cosy, festive ambience, which in the current climate is not a given. Already planning our return, probably after Xmas when it’s tough for businesses and flat for us. This pub and its staff deserve a lot of love ❤️❤️❤️

Always a very pleasant place to have a swift pint or two

Lovely food and friendly staff. They are really trying to make a go of this village pub. Different events such as their food theme nights are alway popular when booking is advisable.

Good service, good food, good value

Great food, friendly, polite & helpful staff. Lovely sitting outside in the garden.

Thanks to Meghan and the team for a fantastic Sunday lunch when I popped in with my dad and his wife. Was superb. And thanks to Zoe who tried her hand at making an Irish coffee with Bailey's which was also fantastic. Really enjoyed it

Lovely to see the pub doing well at the Tapas night tonight. The food was delicious as was the guest ale. Now the pub has had a refurb it looks great and the outside seating area is nice too. The staff were very attentive and accommodating.

The Fallafel salad was excellent, the Chips were disappointing. The price was very, very, very expensive! Honestly, much exaggerated.

Food was excellent and service was great.

Long wait, food nice when you get it. Slightly more expensive than most and you aren't able to swap salad for chips etc.

Friendly pub ,great fish and chips

Brilliant Sunday lunch great service and lovely food.

Had lunch here today. Very good food, clearly everything homemade. Decided to have desserts, glad we did as these were on another level. Homemade chocolate & hazelnut tart being a highlight. Not the cheapest but I still felt I got good value for money considering the high quality of everything. Well done & thank you The Pheasant!

Superb Sunday lunch. The lamb was so tasty and tender. The service was great.

Lovely place . Very clean , staff extremely helpful and pleasant.

Lovely Sunday lunch today, five vegetables plus potatoes and Yorkshire pudding with roast meat, followed by delicious Black Forest pavlova. Friendly attentive staff too. Will definitely come back 👍

Everything one expects from a country pub with the addition of great food, friendly efficient staff.

Soup was very good but the gluten free batter on the fish wasn't good at all. Another local restaurant does it better. The chips were not very crispy. Also the option of mushy peas would be nice.

Only fish and chips available on a Tuesday, but very good nonetheless.

Very welcoming and great food for a Friday lunchtime

Very helpful staff and good atmosphere. Great food

Fabulous meal on fish and chips Tuesday, friendly and efficent service.

Good food and selection of ales and gins.

Good food, good people. Good place :) Try the Sunday roast.

Lovely recently renovated village pub, small menu, but a good variety. Friendly staff and a lot of garden space for dining outside. Would recommend for cyclists travelling nearby looking for a pub stop.

Well it's grown in the last 10 years and now has a fantastic outdoor terrace on three levels with a huge flat grassed garden area to accommodate far more people than I can remember. The structure is in place with a new kitchen and store, yet still limited car parking and toilets only on the lower level. Disabled access to the outside is easy and a great feature. Bar looks exactly the same as it did 50 years ago but the extension has made the potential for a really good sized restaurant. Can't wait to see what they do with the menu as it is the same as the Woodman and needs jazzing up with some feature dishes

Really nice venue. Cosy, but still good space between tables and friendly staff. Indoor and outdoor seating. It is on the more expensive side, however you are paying for quality. Main, dessert and drink was just under £35. Would be a great place, for a special occasion!

Beautiful pub, staff amazing, food wonderful

Excellent pub, really nice landlady, lovely garden in a cracking village

Very nice evening meal with friends in the garden. Meal was very nice but a little expensive. Enjoyed it very much and would go again. The New Zealand Sauvignan we were told £6.50 for 250ml but the bill was £9.95! Cheeky.

Great pub. Friendly, good food, good beer and the best beer garden for miles around.

Had a lovely evening here on Saturday to celebrate my husband's birthday. Landlady and staff all excellent. Food was superb. Would highly recommend.

Tasty food. The flavours of each dish were amazing, started off with the Jackfruit Spring Roll followed by Sea Bream, the combination of the Harissa & Chermoula with this dish was delicious. Had to finish with the Creme Brulee, personal favourite of mine, creamy, fresh and just enough vanilla. We sat in the top garden, a beautiful setting on a sunny evening. The staff were great, welcoming, friendly and efficient. 10 out of 10 all round. Can not wait to go back.

Looking for lunch in Great Chishill and Heydon, 29th September... this one had a notice "no longer serving food".

What a great shame the locals have decided to boycott this great pub. Do they not realise if they don’t use the pub they will loose it. When I visited the Pheasant with friends there were only four people in there as didn’t stay long. For a Friday night that is sad. We still had a great evening..In this economic climate it’s hard enough for landlords to stay afloat, even with local support.. What more can I say

Nice local pub with a field backing off the garden!

5 stars all day long very good people excellent pub cant fault 5 stars all the way

Went for lunch on a Tuesday. We were just after 1.30pm and were almost alone, save for a local at the bar. Pie of the Day, Lasagne and Chicken Liver Pate from compact menu were announced as unavailable, so we chose a mushroom Stroganoff but it was sour. Our second choice starter, the tempura prawns, we cooked in batter but not the light tempura style. Wine was lovely from a short but well balanced list. Make sure you get there and order before 2 pm otherwise you will be turned away,vas three people found out today. Cobwebs in the window and on window ornaments were a surprise but the builders were in, making an extension to the dining room next door so perhaps cleaning has been suspended ?

Excellent Sunday roast, friendly place with great food.

The Pheasant is our local pub and we have been going there regularly ever since we came to the village 12 years ago. It had a change of ownership 2 years ago and inevitably there was a change of ambiance and some problems with cooking staff which has been reflected in the Tripadvisor reviews. For various reasons we have not been in the pub for a while so it was with a little trepidation that I booked a table for ourselves and 7 others! However, we were not disappointed in the least. We have always held the Pheasant's Fish and Chips as the gold standard and so far no one elsewhere has come close. After last evening, The Pheasant still holds that standard. The fish was superb (and large), and the chips were excellent. Three of the party opted for something different and were equally impressed. We have another group of friends coming in a couple of weeks time and I have already booked the table.Well done and thank you.

Not up too standard,the food was cold,Yorkshire half the size,very sparse on the veg and the gravy was salty.Also for what we had the price of £14.00 for a main was way over priced.We thought we had found a little gem here but have been very let down.

Food was excellent but spoilt by when we ordered 4 coffee's at 2.40 was told we close at 3 o/c which made us think we wouldn't have time to drink it. Shame.

Nice local. Friendly & accomodating staff that look after the visitor as wellas the locals. Keep supporting pubs like this that haven't become 'gastrofied / gentrified'. A enjoyable place for the family, with 'the other half', a group or friends or on ur own.

We used to live in the village and used this place a few times. The main problem is that you never know when this pub will be open ... Some locals told us to phone owners in advance to check. Great, that's why we started using some other pubs ... :-\

It was a shame. The food - whitebait starter and rib eye steak were both well cooked but small things let this place down compared to how it used to be. The menu had thin choice of decent mains other than steak. The wine list was very disappointing too. The steak needed steak knives (the waiting staff just forgot) and it took an age to get the wine found and poured. But the food was actually nicely cooked, even if the rib eye was tough. So it was/ is just the small things that let this place down. Bring on a more exciting menu please! And staff who smile and make you feel welcome. Sorry.

One of the best Sunday roast dinners I've had!!!

Friendly great atmosphere. Great Landlord and Landlady.

My local when I was growing up, saw some people from way back and chewed the breeze with them and some others, great afternoon.

Great pub, Great staff, And the food is outstanding.

We have dropped in to the Pheasant a couple of times on the spur of the moment to eat and not been disappointed. My wife always has fish & chips and the fish is nicely cooked. I have has the linguine con vongole and the Cromer crab and both have been excellent. The deserts are also worth a look :-)Generous portions, nice, friendly feeling about the place and good beer.

Picturesque pub, good food, friendly atmosphere and a big beer garden with plenty of room for the kids to run around! Highly recommended.

The good reviews by others are well justified in my opinion. Good food, good ales and welcoming, personable staff. Recommended.

Second time trying our local village pub since an initial disappointing Sunday Roast after new owners took over last year.Good menu and wine list.We both had very well cooked sea bass dishes and are delighted that our local village pub seems to be on track food wise after a faltering start.We’ll be back soon.

We wanted to find a country pub on our way to Duxford IWM and googled and came across The Pheasant. Lovely friendly staff and food was delicious. Would love this pub to be one of our locals as we would return again and again.
