The Porterhouse in South Cambridgeshire

Had a fantastic meal. Ty was an exceptional server. Very attentive. The atmosphere was very serene. Delectable food. Splendid supper with a tremendous bottle of bubbly!

Good food and great service from Elle.

We had a delicious Christmas meal, yummy food, good portion sizes. Tipi dining area feels very Christmassy. Great service especially from Meghan. Thank you!

Lovely cosy place. Try the pizza, it's fab. Elle was very helpful and friendly. We are lucky to live just over the road, hard bit to be in here every day.

Amazing food 😋 elle was very friendly will recommend to all

Very good evening meal. Food always excellent. Staff very friendly and helpful. Elle served us, meal was great.

Went for our anniversary dinner here. Lovely staff! Served by Elle she was very polite and professional.food is amazing. Definitely recommend

Another fabulous meal here celebrating my Birthday. I had hallumi fries with sweet chilli dip, massamam curry with chicken, and a devine mint aero cheesecake. Chilled bottle of pino grigio to accompany it all. Very pleasant indeed. Very polite staff and decent service on a busy evening. Well done and thank you Craig and team.

Ty gave a a nice service this afternoon: we had Sunday roast and a drink. She was very efficient and quick.

Our annual Christmas Jumper Golf Day traditionally ends at The Porterhouse for their legendary Christmas Pizza! The pizzas, pints, and service were superb as ever

Ty was the server, great speedy service. No complaints

Had a great lunch there. Didn't stay overnight.

Very nice meal, good service from Tai

Sunday lunch, Dined out in the yurt, lovely experience. Throws, pillows and hot water bottles to use if chilly, fabulous cosy ambience. Very Friendly staff and great food. Even a doggy box for leftovers! Would come again.

Amazing food, catered for a large group of us - including people with special dietary needs (gluten free, dairy free diets). All food came out correctly and in really good time and tasted fab! 😊

Delicious food and great service. A true hidden gem that is worth a stop if you are traveling through the area.

Great roast, incredible service - Megan and Owen were both very polite and attentive, will be coming back!

We just had a private party in the tipi. The pizzas were to die for, the chips equally so, washed down with a perfect pint of Neck. Oil The young man waiting on us couldn’t have worked any harder to deliver a perfect experience. Really helpful and atttentive Many thanks to the Porterhouse team.

Great time and great service at a birthday party here! Thanks very much

Excellent experience. Booked the tipi for a party. Service was incredible. Venue stunning and food absolutely delicious! Thank you Fran and Barry

Food was lovely, Megan and Owen were both great servers.

Very nice Sunday lunch and great service from Owen and Megan.

Very good Sunday lunch and wonderful service from the lovely staff (Megan and Owen!)

Owen was very nice and speedy with the service. Thanks!

I've stayed at The Porterhouse for work a number over the last few years. The rooms are always warm and clean. The food (particularly the pizzas) is great, and the staff have always been friendly and welcoming (shout out to Owen this time!).

Owen provided great service today! I felt well taken care of.

Had a few beers here a few weeks back and it was a great pub.

We love the porterhouse. Food is great, staff are great, atmosphere is great.. what else could you want? Five stars!

Lovely place amazing staff amd highly recommend the curry

A large group of us visited for a private lunch in the garden Tipi. Following a warm welcome and a beer or two we were served a delicious lunch with some excellent wines. The service was attentive and efficient - not made easy by the (very) late arrival of several of the group - but the Porterhouse team took it all in their stride. The food - from the extensive menu - was beautifully presented and the portions were generous. The Tipi setting was fun and a little quirky - great for a group event and is a superb addition to the more traditional setting of the original pub buildings. We heartily recommend The Porterhouse!

Fabulous time in the yurt. Wonderful staff and food

Another very pleasant lunch with family . Great food served by very friendly staff.

Cracking roast dinner, and fantastic service from staff (particularly Elle). This will be our new Sunday spot.

Lovely stay, would definitely go again.

Visiting from Glasgow, and catching up with family in Willingham. We decided to all rock up to The Porterhouse Pub on a hot sunny day. Love it! The Tee-pee; dog friendly so pets to pat! We all sat down to chips and drinks and natter. Mum, in her 70s, suddenly announced she wanted chocolate so Annie suggested a great pudding to surprise her with! Today we returned on a more rainy day...Annie and other staff team members lovely again. I have terrible envy: this is the kind of friendly pub- with a community feel for all ages, for families and couples, and I would feel comfortable popping in for a solo pint- I WISH I had back home as a local! Great food. Great drink. Great, relaxed service. Great welcome! Thank you!

Polite and cheerful staff and quick service and great food.always made welcome, would highly recommend for a stop.

Excellent food and drink, and great service. Special mention to Elle, who is so good at remembering usual orders and dietary requirements.

I had a lovely stay here. I checked in quite late but they were very accommodating. Great room, the kitchen was separate but that was quite nice, you had everything you needed to make cuppa, toast ect. Will definitely stay again.

Had a lunch for two. Excellent gluten free pizza. Very reasonably priced, lively atmosphere and well worth a visit. Did not try the rooms, but I am sure they will not disappoint given the quality of the pub

Elle was amazing great service and great food

Superb service from Annie. Particularly liked the pudding recommendation! (Delicious rolo cheesecake!)

5 stars for Elle, amazing service, always calm under pressure of busy restaurant and bar. Friendly welcome. Definitely enhances the experience!

Annie looked after us very well and the food was excellent, particularly the deserts. Totally full up when we left.

Elle served us really well, she was speedy, efficient and very friendly. Good food, very welcoming in thr tipi, thank you.

Love this pub! Walking distance, FANTASTIC Gluten Free menu and Elle is spectacular! She takes such good care of me and makes sure my food is gf. She remembered I'm gf after one visit... seriously epic. Highly recommend!

We had a lovely meal with 9 of us, including 5 children . Elle was incredibly friendly, helpful and professional. The food was brilliant and the service was quick. We would definitely recommend for a family friendly meal with delicious food n

Lovely friendly staff as always and good food

We've dined at The Porterhouse several times now, and every visit leaves us more impressed than the last! Our server, Jana, was so lovely and attentive, making sure we had everything we needed throughout our meal. The pub has such a cosy, welcoming atmosphere that instantly makes you feel at home. The food is consistently amazing, but we especially recommend starting with the curried chicken strips - they're honestly a must-try and we come back for them every time! Overall, great food, fantastic service, and a wonderful place to relax. We’ll definitely be back again soon!

Great service. Fitted us in at last minute. Pizzas were amazing as we're sweet potato fries. Would recommend a visit.

Fish of the moment was superb. Smoked Haddock on a lovely creamy spring greens risotto. I didn't want it to end. Fish and risotto cooked perfectly. Thanks to Craig and his team in the kitchen!

Elle is amazing. She is so warm and friendly, every week she welcomes us with a smile and knows exactly what we want to order. She is one of the best things about the pub, alongside the amazing chef, Ro who creates the best pizzas.

Fantastic service from Elle Hutchins, always welcoming and extremely efficient. Excellent pizzas from Ro the chef as well! Couldn't recommend them more!

Excellent value Monday evening meal, lovely sausage and mash and fantastic fish beautifully cooked from the specials menu. Friendly locals who advised on the local beers and all topped off by excellent friendly service from Annie. Would highly recommend.

My wife and I come here for a cheeky little lunch at least once week while the kids are at school. Occasionally we also come for meal as a family with our children at weekends and for special occasions and date nights. Staff are always friendly and accommodating. The kitchen is always happy to make the meals your way and constantly tweaks our food when requested. Annie always greets us with a smile and has our usual drink ready in a flash. We love this place and everyone makes us feel more like friends than customers.

Amazing food and atmosphere. We have been regularly coming back at least once a week. The kitchen even follows my personalised salad recipe! We come here for date lunches/evenings as well as family of five meals. It is our default place when we have guests over and we choose to go out with them. Always a treat everyone is looking forward to. The hosts always accommodate us on short notice or as walk ins even when very busy. Service (Megan) top notch:)))Highly recommend. :)))

What an amazing evening we had here at The porterhouse, the food was delicious and plentiful and fantastic value for money. What super fun our waiter and waitress were, Greg and Annie were delightful, attentive without being intrusive and nothing was too much trouble. We will be back!!

Very delicious food and good service from Ty. Will come again.

Food was lovely. Will be back highly recommend

Wonderful lunch with delicious food and super friendly service. Nice little outdoor area and excellent music - everything you want from a local pub!

Tasty food with a nice outside dog friendly area.

Always love coming here - brilliant as always! Our server Grace was brilliant and attentive with allergies and was making sure we were happy. Food was delicious and drinks were great. A lovely experience everytime.

Excellent! Staying in a holiday cottage in the village. Had takeaway pizza it was wonderful! Booked ahead for collection time, lovely customer service on phone, really helpful. Pizzas ready at exact time. 4 pizzas ordered, all of them outstanding. Will definitely use again if visiting. Highly recommended

Great food at the Porterhouse. Sat in the Tipi, and had a lovely dinner, & great service

Called in for a meal. Good food, friendly staff, reasonable cost. Will return

Had a lovely night's stay Room immaculate, great service would highly recommend

Birthday meal steak and salmon very impressed with the food and location the staff are very friendly and polite.. The options of beers is good 👍 and popular. We fully intend to revisit the special food options are good for midweek.

Food was good, but the menu is uninspired beyond pizzas and burgers with Cambridge prices while being outside the city. £8.50 for a pudding is really OTT especially when it was a pretty tasteless sponge (meant to be ginger) and then orange flavour was just compote on top. No draft ale, everything electric pump, so that was disappointing. The people in the bar area were noisy so found conversation difficult as we were seated close by. Was a good halfway place to meet friends, but next time we will go elsewhere.

Great beer, Great food, great service

My wife and I ate here for lunch today. It was one of the best experiences I've ever had eating out with allergies and intolerances. They were very well informed and went well out of their way to accommodate our needs. The food was superb, and all the staff were friendly and welcoming. The seat by the window was a really lovely touch. Parking was easy. I can't think of how the experience could be improved! Even the way they explained the service charge was really transparent and non-pressuring (and it all goes to the staff). We'll definitely be coming back soon!

Very good reputation locally Second time of staying. Wasn't sure of the concept of the B and B, but I guess it works? Maybe upgrade guests to The Studio as I notice it was not occupied.? The choice of cereal was just coco pops, which wasn't good, no cheese or ham or berries., no fresh pastries. A little too basic perhaps? Being a solo traveller I did wonder if anyone at all was on site? I was alittle concerned?

Nice little pub which serves really nice food. The only downside is its a bit small which makes for a nice atmosphere but you really need to book ahead to make sure you can get a table. Beer good well looked after. Great little village pub.

Apart from no Aircon, and it being very hot, this is a lovely place to stay at.

Lovely tasty chilli prawn salad at lunchtime. Outside near the teepee

Visited for Sunday lunch. The food was ok. Choice of turkey, beef or pork.

We really like going to the Porterhouse. They do some good beer and I like that the cask beer changes so I can try different ones. The food is so nice whenever we’ve eaten there. It’s a bit restrictive for us not allowing kids in there after 7pm - tricky to have dinner out after work in the week.

We had a lovely evening; great atmosphere, great food and great service. Couple in the party ordered steaks requesting different ends of the cooking spectrum - one blue, one medium/well done. Both were cooked to perfection. I had the fish special of panko crumb halibut which was melt in the mouth. Husband opted for the guest dessert - white chocolate and baileys bread and butter pudding. To be honest, he didn’t get much of it as after I had tasted it, it was too delicious to stop! Thank you Porterhouse for a lovely meal and looking after us all so well.

We didn’t stay in a room but I can only imagine they would be at least 4 stars after the fantastic meal and service we had in the pub. Awesome food and very very good service. We will be back!

Great atmosphere, service and food

During our recent stay at this B&B, my partner and I, both of whom have traditionally male names, encountered an issue that brought to light an important consideration for the hotel's booking process. Our room was initially prepared with twin beds, which seemed to be an assumption based on our names. This incident has underscored the need for the hotel to reevaluate its room assignment policies to prevent making assumptions about guests' bedding preferences based on their names or perceived relationship, ensuring an inclusive and respectful approach for all guests. Given this experience, I suggest that the hotel consider making twin beds the default setting for room configurations, allowing guests to request a double bed if that is their preference. This adjustment could help minimise assumptions and ensure a more comfortable and welcoming environment for everyone, regardless of the nature of their relationship. Despite this initial oversight, our concerns were quickly addressed after we communicated them to a very attentive staff member. (However, this prompt resolution makes me reflect on the possibility that, had we arrived later, the issue might not have been resolved as smoothly). The room was reconfigured to feature a double bed within 45 minutes, which I was very impressed with, during which we enjoyed a delightful meal in the dining area. The food was slightly pricey but justified by its freshness and quality. The room, once adjusted, was spacious and inviting. The combined beds created a large and comfortable sleeping area. The bathroom was simple yet impeccably clean, and the shower stood out for its ample space and consistent hot water, accommodating even for someone of my height of 6ft 4. We were also pleased with the shared kitchen, which was well-stocked for breakfast and even late-night snacks, including chocolate yoghurts. Overall, our stay was very enjoyable, thanks to the staff's willingness to accommodate our needs. We look forward to returning but will make a point to specify our bed configuration preferences in advance to avoid any confusion. This experience highlights the importance of adaptable and considerate hospitality practices that cater to the diverse needs of all guests.

Great place for a short stay in the area.

Best meal we've had in years, great food, great service and a great setting. Highly recommended.

Another fabulous meal here this evening. With a special valentines menu in place and cleverly available the night before for those of us who can't make it out on tge 14th. Free glass of fizz and the usual wonderful service. Can't recommend this village pub enough great food, good setting and fantastic service. If you are in the area well worth a visit. Super tasty menu tonight top marks to the chef thanks everyone for a lovely evening 😀 💝🫶💖

Food was fantastic and service was impeccable. We will definitely be coming back soon

Spot on. Great food, great bar, great service!

Excellent meal, friendly service, there is obviously a skilled chef! We were recommended the pub and will definitely recommend it to our local family and friends.

Middle of the road. No better, no worse. Good was acceptable. Staff were ok and bill was fine. No complaints but a 'half empty' experience. Empty feeling.

The customer service was first rate from all staff. Thank you.🙂

10/10 recommended. Rooms, service and food all fantastic.

We had a pub lunch!!! We loved it & it was the Best!!!

Bit of a wait for service but excellent food

There’s 3 rooms upstairs and we stayed there when visiting family. Small cute countryside pub, foods alright and this place gets very busy for drinks. Our large bed were 2 twins put together which is the norm in Europe/UK but our beds were different heights and lumpy on this trip. Update 12/29/2023: we got the studio room this time and is much better. Services in the pub are excellent.

Met some colleagues for dinner and drinks. I didn't stay over but a colleague did. Food was great - interesting twists on classic Christmas food. Lovely service.

Fantastic staff very good lunch time food Can’t recommend it enough Well Done

Excellent service. Definitely will be going back.

Cozy pub, very friendly staff and good food, we ordered a chicken tikka pizza and cheese + bacon burger, both were tasty, well cooked and a decent portion size. Good variety of menu choices and some good beer. Thankyou for a nice evening, will definitely be back.

First time and last time. Got to say the food was very tasty and the waitress very good but she need someone else to help her as she was rushed off her feet and I had to wait an age to pay the bill. I couldn’t enjoy my meal as there was a party of people with kid from the age of 3 to 8 years old screaming their heads off with no control for their parents. I really didn’t want to be there with screaming pitches and was giving me a headache. Who in there right mind as a pud owner let this happen? Not a great experience and I won’t be returning anytime soon.

Nice food but rather limited vegetarian choice. Friendly server, sadly only the 3 of us in the place for lunch.

Pub grubs nothing to write home about, tried it so won't be returning, nothing wrong with the food as such.

Lovely food and great service 👌

We wanted to mark our wedding with a small celebration - the Tipi was ideal for this. It is a lovely space to mingle and chat. The food was excellent and the staff went out of their way to ensure we had a relaxed, memorable day. I would thoroughly recomend this for family occasions, or celebrations.
