The Pheasant in Huntingdonshire

Lovely food, interesting menu. Very attentive service. Lovely atmosphere. Pies in particular were excellent. Highly recommend

The Pheasant was always a favourite place for a good meal, but it has something of a checkered history in the recent past. I was delighted to discover it had reopened and booked immediately. There might be new owners but the staff were as efficiant and friendly as they always had been. The prices had certainly changed in an upward direction, but, as always, you get what you pay for. There were three of us dining and we had three starters, three mains and two deserts followed by one coffee. A bottle of a light rose wine and one of sparking water washed it down, water is free by the way, The bill was £176.00 plus a well deserved gratuity, The excellent meal was worth every penny and I am sure we will be returning on a regular basis.

We have been to the Pheasant Inn a few times recently and it is an absolute gem. The food is superb with an excellent menu. Perfect wine list and great overall drink selection. Both the restaurant and bar are nice and there is also a lovely garden terrace area. Service is good and whilst it isn’t the cheapest eatery in the area, it will certainly take some beating. The Sunday lunch we had yesterday was amazing!

This has really upped its game, we opened for the Roast Beef & Roast Pork and neither disappointed! The staff members were polite and attentive, drinks order was promptly taken and our dog was also catered for with a bowl of fresh water and a treat or two. A solid 9/10, only issue if criticise would be to rejuvenate the outdoor furniture as easy to get marks on light coloured clothing.

Very pleasant place. Staff are great and food was delicious! Would definitely recommend for a good meal out in a lovely location.

Tried 5 times to call them in the space of 30 minutes on a Friday lunchtime but no answer and straight to voicemail so i presumed they were perhaps rushed off there feet .No totally the opposite !More staff than customers and when I broached...

Three of us went to The Pheasant Inn for traditional Sunday lunch we were certainly not disappointed from the friendly greeting to the excellent meal. Recently lamb seems to have been absent from the areas restaurants but there it was on the menu. We all...

Great friendly staff,excellent food beautifully prepared and presented. An interesting menu, not your usual ‘pub grub’ proper food! ,

Arrived and were taken straight to our table. Had to ask for a wine list, waited 20mins with no one coming back to take our drinks order, so we went to the bar to ask for someone to come to our table so we could...

Used to be a great pub with fantastic food. Pub is still ok, but food is no longer special. Very expensive for what you get, and very underwhelming. Chips are more like barely roasted potatoes, not crisp at all and still floury inside and were...

My wife and I stopped overnight in our motorhome and were simply amazed at the very high standards at this lovely thatched village pub. One could not ask for better service, the staff were well trained, friendly and very professional. We chose to dine off...

Came here for my birthday! The food is exquisite and the staff are friendly and attentive. I mentioned in passing it was my birthday which they gave a little extra treat at the end. The atmosphere is cosy and well decorated. We sat at the...

On our way up to Manchester via a different route than normal we stopped for lunch in this delightful old pub in a lovely little village about a mile or less from the A14. We had a deadline so wanted a quick meal, so as...

What a lovely little gem this is, just off the A14, (but you'd never know that it is only a mile away). Recently refurbished and well fitted out. Food was excellent, as were the staff. Will use again when passing.

The Pheasant is a lovely old country inn set in a lovely village. We went for lunch with friends based on TA reviews. We all chose the Set Lunch which was very good value and the quality of the food was excellent as with the...

My dad has been coming to the pheasant since he was 17 years old. I used to remember such great meals at this lovely pub. We used to fly in to the grass airstrip at the end of the road and enjoy such great afternoon/evenings...

Friendly efficient staff, fabulous menu with delicious food. Lovely atmosphere and just off A14. Would through recommend and definitely go there again.

Fathers Day treat for my husband - food was excellent - home made black pudding on mash with a poached egg - perfect roast lamb/baked haddock pot and roast pork for me served with a smile by Liv - in all a perfect lunch, thank...

We visited with friends at 6.30 on a Saturday evening. We had pre-dinner drinks in the bar while we decided what to eat. We then moved through to the restaurant. All the food and drink we had was delicious. The service was timely and friendly....

It was a pleasure to visit the Pheasant again. A lovely pub/restaurant with excellent welcoming and very efficient staff. The menu for lunch is excellent too, however, I was surprised when my lunch, shallot & parsnip tarte tatin arrived and gravy had been added. The...

Warm friendly & attentive. Good quality food with lovely menu choice, all beautifully presented. Only small criticism was dishes had a very delicate taste of the ingredients in them & for my palate if the flavours had been a little stronger this would have been...

We were impressed with the look of this lovely old pub. Outside the gardens were well tended with quality garden fitments and fittings. Inside the pub there are a number of annexes to what appears to be the main restaurant. We were shown to an...

Excellent service and great quality food at a very good price, everyone had a great meal and will definitely return and recommend

First time for a couple of years. Lovely welcome from the maitre d and bar staff, great pint of Barnwell Fools Nook. Menu for lunch nice and varied. Both our mains were first class. I had haddock in mustard cream sauce and my partner had...

Excellent food , in a lovely location. Easy parking, nice beer and friendly staff. Late Friday lunch with a good atmosphere

Visited on a very chilly Friday evening, bar area felt warm and welcoming. We had some drinks in the bar first and then went through to our table in the restaurant area. Our table was near the fire, nice a cosy which was lovely, as...

Wonderful beef wellington, plaice and halibut dishes. Best service we’ve had! Delightful experience! A really special meal out with our family!

Heard that The Pheasant was now open and the word was good. It has had a varied history since we last went some 15 or so years ago. Then it was excellent, and it is excellent now under the new owners. We had the set...

We live about 25 minutes away and recently came here for a meal, turned up on the wrong day, so had to rebook! Fortunately we arrived on the correct day and time on this occasion. When we came through the door, the welcome was a...

We recently visited the Pheasant with friends, for the first time since it has come under new ownership. It did not disappoint at all. We thoroughly enjoyed a delicious lunch, served by a super friendly and efficient team. Needless to say, we are looking forward...

Visited with friends for a meal and wasn’t disappointed- From initial welcome to being seated the service was excellent. The food was of a really high quality and nice to sample different beers from the run of the mill stuff in almost every pub Definitely...

We booked here on recommendation from friends and colleagues for our wedding anniversary, and we were not disappointed. As covid restrictions have eased it was nice to enter to a moderately busy pub, but with plenty of space to navigate. It wasn't immediately clear where...

We were delighted with every aspect of The Pheasant when we chose it as our venue for a special lunch. The refurb has given it a fresh light and airy feel. We had wonderful canapés served outside with welcome drinks then our lunch inside. All...

We were so delighted with everything about The Pheasant, the warm welcome, their help in deciding the menu and nothing we asked for was too much trouble. This was for a special birthday lunch and they certainly made the day just so. Welcome drinks and...

Wow, what a find! This is a fabulous independent pub/ restaurant that is brilliant in every way. Beautiful building with lovely charm and character, wonderful team ready and willing to help and cater for anything they can, great allergen understanding and went above and beyond...

Stopped at The Pheasant en route to Wales. Absolutely fantastic food, amazing helpful friendly staff and delightful location. Could not fault and would highly recommend

Wanted to experience the establishment after the ew owners arrived The staff were very attentive and gave good service Lunch was cooked and served brilliantly Will certainly be returning

We weren’t sure what The Pheasant would be like now, having new ownership and being closed through Covid. No need to worry. I have dietary which usually give me limited choices. On the Pheasant’s almost everything was possible. The staff were friendly and extremely efficient....

We have waited eagerly for The Pheasant to reopen. In fact the times we tried to book sooner, were all thwarted. We had been told that it was now pricey. Yes, depending on what you choose, it could be for a country pub. But the...

We had a lovely lunch served by wonderful staff. However the fixed price menu for 2 to 3 course lunch was very expensive being at least £8 a head higher than the anywhere else we have been. It would be a shame if the cost...

We dined here last night to celebrate my birthday. It has been awhile since we visited The Pheasant, the new look in the restaurant was fresh and welcoming. We all enjoyed our supper especially the delicious fish. Attentive staff combined to make a great evening.

We received such a warm welcome and the food and surroundings were first class . There were so much to choose from on the menu and service with a smile .

My business colleague and friend have just been for lunch the Pheasant and I must say the staff, service and food were all exceptional I have worked with and known him for over 25 years and in all that time he has always found something...

New owners have brightened up the interior and greet customers warmly. Friendly, unpretentious and knowledgeable service, good wine list, not expensive and best food for miles.

A lovely visit to the new refurbished restaurant and bar in such an idyllic spot , warm welcome , a wonderful selection of ale and local beers and a great bar and main menu . The gardens and outdoor area are lovely , a must...

Exceptional Sunday lunch, quality and service outstanding, not rushed and proper portions, excellent value for money thank you.

Really pleased the Phesant is open again and just as good as before. Excellent food and great attentive service Would definitely recommend

We had an amazing lunch, five of us, we all had different meals, they were all absolutely delicious. Best pub in the area by miles. Highly recommend.

It is so good to have the pheasant open again !! The makeover is fabulous,the food is great and the service is really really spot on .

the Pheasant is back in business with a refurbished and updated interior and a stunning outside area. The menu has something to suit all tastes and is competitively priced. Dined there on the opening night. Warm goats cheese with roasted beetroot and peaches was an...

A classic thatched country pub which has been lovingly and sympathetically restored to more than its former glory, with new owners and new management. It now features a wonderful and sizeable pub garden with stunning views over the Cambridgeshire countryside - with the quaint addition...

We visited on a Thursday evening, the restaurant was busy and we were seated in the bar area. Lovely setting! The food was good and the menu had a good selection. The food was tasty and we left stuffed. The landlady was really friendly end...

Wonderful that this restaurant has reopened. The new outside garden is a huge asset and is perfect for a summers drink. Food was excellent, I had the lamb.

Having just reopened, The Pheasant is looking great. The garden has been extended and was absolutely lovely for drink and some late sun this evening before we ate. Staff were welcoming and, despite this only being the second night open, things were running smoothly. Most...

We returned to this old favourite of ours, with some trepidation given the critical reviews on here over the last little while. We need not have worried, service as good as ever, food as good as ever, criticism unwarranted. Thanks for a lovely Sunday lunch...

We noticed that the pub is looking for new landlords and think the current ones may have been away. The food has always been excellent but this time it was very mediocre. Being early in the week it wasn’t busy . The table next to...

Based on trip advisor reviews my wife and I were excited to try this pub. We visited on a Saturday evening and the staff were perfectly pleasant as was the food but neither of us found it anything more than slightly above average. The menu...

We have lived relatively local to The Pheasant Inn for many years but had never managed to get there for a meal despite being aware of it having a good reputation. Well that changed this weekend when we went for a meal... The pub is...

Atmosphere was a little stilted but pleasant enough welcome Three of us ordered nibbles (Tempura Prawns, Meguzo sausage and fish goujons) and they had been cooked in old fat which had a nauseating smell and taste Then our main courses arrived: my haddock and chips...

My wife and myself went here for a surprise Birthday Party for the Bosses Mother Pamela, and it was a lovely afternoon and evening and we all enjoyed the get together

a group of us all went here for a surprise Birthday Party for Simon's Mother Pamela, and it was excellent

Called in here whilst travelling back from the Norfolk coast to the Midlands. Easy booking on line and a lovely Sunday lunch with great and friendly service. This is a really nice old village pub/restaurant with a lovely menu. Would definitely call again.

My wife and I and our two friends went to the Pheasant on New Years Eve for their fixed 7 course meal. Every course starting with canapes and a glass of champagne were first class . We had celeriac soup next followed by lobster orzo...

We have recently moved much closer to the pheasant and we returned just before Christmas for a long overdue visit. Brilliantly run, friendly and excellent service and the food is just perfect for the setting. Classic, properly cooked food with a strong British and classic...

We met up with son and daughter-in-law for lunch, half way between our house in Cambridge and theirs in Northampton. Some decent beers on pump and keg, though I was the only one drinking alcohol. We all went for the £26 3-course offer, which was...

Seven friends of 30+ years got to enjoy a pre Christmas meal at The Pheasant. Food was generally superb with some original dishes using excellent ingredients and accompanied by good wine, all at a fairly reasonable price. Highlights included the Pheasant With pearl barley risotto,...

This pretty village pub has lots of comfortable dining space, including a traditional beamed lounge and a bright contemporary conservatory. The Pheasant’s weekend menu offers a balanced range of options including veggie and pescatarian (and their current Christmas menu also looks fantastic). I opted for...

I remember this pub from it's days as a sister to the Falcon at Fotheringhay. We had enjoyed an excellent meal then. Based on past experience we booked it as a midway point at which to meet friends. The welcome was good, the real ale...

I chose the Pheasant to meet and eat with friends. They live in Surrey and we live in Lincolnshire and it seemed around half way for both of us. The website showed good photos and the TripAdvisor reviews were good so I booked and hoped...

We have visited this little gem of a restaurant several times over the last six years and always mean to return more regularly. We keep trying other restaurants within a reasonable distance of home and keep being disappointed. The restaurant was completely full on this...

I have visited the pheasant on a number of occasions, New Year’s Eve , Sunday lunch Saturday evening, etc, and can honestly say it’s the best food and service I’ve experienced in any restaurant I’ve been to, The food is always ridiculously tasty and plentiful....

We visited tonight and had booked the 3 course Christmas Fayre Menu. The portion sizes were just right for 3 courses and did not leave you feeling uncomfortably stuffed. We had soup and ham hock terrimg for starters and both were really good as was...

Definitely one of the best meals I've had in a pub for a very long time. Excellent food served on HOT plates by attentive and pleasant staff. Very reasonable prices. Beautiful old pub. Will definitely call again. Thanks for a great night!

We had a 3 course lunch to celebrate a family birthday. The food was excellent and the portions were pretty big so we were all a bit stuffed! The goats cheese salad and flat iron stake were great.

Although we booked, kept waiting for a table, had to ask in the end. Food ok but nothing special for the price. Pub itself very nice so rather disappointed, won’t be back.

Visited earlier today and both had the daily 2 course meal deal at £14.95 per head. We both had the beef with honey glazed carrots and horseradish mash in a peppercorn sauce which, although a little on the small side, was extremely tasty. Our dessert...

We discovered this place on the way home from holiday. The food was outstanding, plentiful, cooked well, and served very quickly. The staff were friendly, helpful and took time out to talk to you. Can't recomend this place highly enough

The Pheasant Inn has to be one of the nicest restaurants/pub you could wish for. Unfortunately our experience once again was disappointing. Our starter arrived quickly and was really nice but our main course took over an hour to arrive and when it did my...

Regularly use the Pheasant when visiting relatives on the other side of the country. Always friendly welcome and excellent food.

We enjoyed a really good Saturday lunch for a very reasonable price. The service was crisp, friendly and efficient, and the pub very clean and welcoming. We opted for the ‘nibbles’ for starters, followed by mains of fish and chips, and steak. All excellent.

What a perfect stop when travelling along the A14 towards Kettering. Just a mile off the a14 nestled in a pretty village. Great welcome from landlord Simon. Fabulous centuries old building beautifully maintained. The menu was imaginative, all home cooked dishes.the service was delightful and...

This was my second visit to the Pheasant after reading great reviews. Personally I think they are trying to be too clever with their menus, go back to basics rather than adding needless ingredients to meals. Example being Raw onion added to the soup, Chicken...

Went for the first time with a group of girls for a friends birthday. Really impressed, both service and food were great, the choice of vegetarian dishes although not many was interesting and felt that they (unlike a lot of places, still!!) made an effort...

Dropped in on the way home from Ipswich - wow!!!! Amazing three course Sunday lunch! The lamb literally melted in my mouth. Cooked to perfection so tasty

When booking, we asked for a high chair, and were asked if we would some food for the child - he's very young, so we settled on a bowl of steamed vegetables, but they came with herbs and oil drizzled on them. The staff were...

Called here on way to Norfolk as we were having an evening meal we only wanted a light lunch. I had ham hock my husband courgette soup. We both had summer pudding. Both courses were delicious. The bread was also very good. As we had...

We always enjoy the food, ambience and friendly service at the Pheasant and today was, once again, absolutely excellent. Would thoroughly recommend - and puddings were truly delicious.

We had another lovely evening at the Pheasant. It's my favourite pub/restaurant in the area. The young waiter was relatively inexperienced but his service tonight was faultless. Nothing was too much trouble and he was attentive without being intrusive. On arrival there is always a...

A week ago my other half surprised me with an invitation for dinner and wouldn't say where we were going. We arrived at the Pheasant about 20 mins earlier than the table was booked and a friendly gentleman asked us to sit down and have...

Such a beautiful pub! Our meal was fantastic from start to finish. The food is delicious and we all had a lovely evening. Cannot fault this pub it’s my favourite place to eat and I’ve never had a bad meal here. I would highly recommend...

Decided to try this place after a few recommendations over the last couple of years. Sadly did not live up to these recommendations, the menu was uninspiring . The starters were ok but one of our party ordered tempura prawns as a nibble (£4) another...

very disappointing , poor service , food overcooked and already plated when we arrived. Frazzled bacon, overcooked egg and dried baked beans. No offer of choice or asking if everyone liked all that was to be served. Tea and Coffee served without a smile and...

We came to The Pheasant inn after numerous recommendations. It was quite cold with the door open and a distinct smell of drains drifted through the restaurant. We made our selection from the menu and was served quite promptly initially. I asked for some mayonnaise...

Attractive popular pub in this small village outside Huntington. Very appealing 3 course set menu. The monkfish starter was disappointing - not much flavour, rather tough and cold, but the roast beef and cheese board were both fab. Good service in a nice environment. Would...

The menu is rather pretentious and not offering much to my taste, although some may find it OK. The food itself was well cooked and well presented and the service excellent.

Party of 5 couples for Sunday lunch , beautiful old country pub, great food , catered for gluten and dairy free needs , good value and will definitely go back

Very professionally run and faultless food. The restaurant is overlooked by a very efficient restaurant lady who "walks the floor" constantly to ensure thing go well. Very well trained young staff. Amazing food. My wife and I found it one of the best meals we've...

Went for dinner here, beautiful pub - restaurant, plenty of old world charm, set in the lovely village of Keyston. The service does not disappoint either very professionally run, superb menu on offer, and great selection for drinks too.

Decided to visit this pub after some local advertising... we’ll what a gorgeous pub in a beautiful village. Loads of parking which to me is a good plus. The pub was busy but the welcome was lovely.. said I had booked and we were a...

I brought my boyfriend here for his birthday, it was extremely quiet for a Wednesday evening. We the survive was great and we didn’t have to wait long for our food. It’s great to find a menu packed with local meats and produce. My boyfriend...
