The Saddle in Huntingdonshire

We have just returned from a delicious lunch at the Saddle. The staff were very friendly and the food was delicious.We had fish and chips and steak and chips.The fish was delicious lovely crispy batter and the steak was very well cooked. The chips were also delicious. All the staff were very friendly and helpful. It was not busy which is a shame as the pub offered real value for money in a friendly environment.We will certainly return. Thank you .

We were a family group having Sunday lunch. People were being turned away so I'm glad we booked. The food was well cooked and tasty. Service was friendly and helpful.

Good night Free darts which was great waiting for the food felt like the time flew by Good pub food served well quite filling to

Whilst we were on a club rally, it was decided to find somewhere close to where we were camping for a Saturday evening meal. We’d travelled through the village before and on a whim decided to pop in. First I went to the pub a few doors down. I walked all through, looked at a menu and walked out. Not even approached! I went into The Saddle. I was warmly greeted by Kim and asked if they could accommodate booking of 10+ for Saturday. She checked and all was good. My husband was outside and she let me take a menu out to the car. I made a provisional booking and left - with the menu. When we arrived at 7pm for our 730pm slot we were warmly greeted again by Kim and also Rhian. There were 10 of us and our orders varied. The steak was cooked perfectly to everyone’s liking, the hunter’s chicken was a massive meal, the chips lovely. 8 had dessert and all agreed it was a great night. Mark (Chef) was very hospitable and nothing was too much trouble. Also worth noting that the drinks were very reasonably priced too. All in all a wonderful meal, with wonderful staff. There’s also a very sweet beer garden at the back. Well done team….if we visit again we’ll call you. THANK YOU .

Enjoyed a really good Sunday dinner. Choice of Turkey, pork or beef with all the trimmings, root veg. Roasties, greens at a very good price. So much on the plate couldn’t finish it! The gravy too was lovely. Finished off with a pint of lovely ale. Nice time! Thanks Kim and Mark. Recommended for Sunday dinner.

We were looking for somewhere new to go, and came across this; loved it! Such polite staff, and ready to please. Food reasonable and really tasty! Will definitely go again!

I don’t know if it’s the fact it’s now the only pub open in Kimbolton and people feel obliged to give higher than a one star but my experience was awful. Greeted by a miserable person on the bar (actually not greeted but stood there as miserable as can be) who stated they were very short staffed which was odd as they had actively advertised the venue for a Mother’s Day meal. Told to order drinks at bar and to sit down, table was right next to kitchen and we could hear all the shouting going on and they constantly walked behind me. When owner came to take order she wasn’t particularly friendly. When food arrived it was absolutely crap and one of my family members couldn’t touch their food as it was so bad . We were charged £13:99 for a plate of vegetables as no discount was applied due to the fact the meat was absent and when I say meat I mean the microwaved chicken slices which tasted so fake (I thought we were having real chicken). Didn’t stay for desert as I felt enough money was wasted.

We had a Sunday roast and the beef was the best roast beef I have ever cooked or tasted. The food and service was 10/10. Even the chef came out and shared his cooking secret. Definitely be back!

This family-run pub is great, with good value tasty pub grub. The roast dinner came with a huge variety of vegetables, roast spuds and a massive Yorkshire pudding and I couldn't believe the size of the half chicken! The staff were lovely, particularly with the children in the party, even rustling up an impromptu bib for the three-year old when we forgot to pack one! Will definitely be back.

We called in without booking, nice lady checked if they could fit us in. Simple menu but great food! we ordered half a roast chicken and it was as advertised a whole juicy half a chicken with lots lovely veg, brilliant Yorkshire puddings and perfect cauliflower cheese, good gravy too! friendly service as well and lots of locals seem to call in fora. Drink and a chat whilst waiting to collect their takeaway Sunday lunch, and I can see why. We will definitely be returning . Hidden gem

We travelled from Bedford, having only ever passed through Kimbolton and had a terrific Sunday lunch. The vegetarian option was great and my beef was wonderful. The only difficulty was choosing between custard or ice cream with the home made apple pie.

We had a take out fish and chip meal from the Saddle. Cooked to perfection, piping hot and so reasonably priced. One can order any of the items off the main menu for it to be taken away. Really recommended.

Last minute booking for Sunday lunch today. My family and I had a delicious roast dinner. Friendly service as always! Thank you ! Xx

Here for an interview. Lovely welcoming staff Sophie and Kim let us know our dogs were welcome--brilliant. Enjoyed a bottle of champagne, home made pie and Monday night football. Great good, great service but maintains the proper pub vibes. Also the locals are great!

We visited Kimbolton for 2 short days and came across this place oppos3where we were staying. As soon as we contacted them via Facebook to ask if the dogs were allowed we received a quick response to say yes! We came in for dinner and were surprised to find our favourite champagne on the menu at a very reasonable price. We really liked the menu but the food was even better. We were welcomed by Kim (Kim from Kimbolton!) and Sophie who could not have been more helpful and accommodating. Thank you for a fantastic evening. Teddy and Betty loved their treats 🐻🐶❤️

We went for a Sunday drive and decided to pass through pretty Kimbolton and on to Graham Water. As it was after midday, we decided we should look for somewhere to stop for lunch and came upon The Saddle. We were so glad we did because it’s a little gem!With a delightful homely atmosphere and food to match, this made for a perfect Sunday lunch pit stop. Two of us ordered a roast dinner, one ordered salmon en papiotte and one a vegetarian option of Mediterranean tart. My roast beef dish was one of the best roasts I’ve ever eaten; the flavours (of everything) were absolutely amazing! Everything was beautifully cooked and there was plenty of it (too much to manage)! We had an array of accompanying vegetables - from potatoes (roasted and mashed); cabbage; swede; roasted parsnip; carrots (roasted and boiled) and cauliflower cheese, also a huge Yorkshire pudding and a gorgeous gravy with the roasts.It’s not cheap, but you certainly get what you pay for.Wow, what beautiful meals. Our only disappointment was that we couldn’t eat it all! Delicious. Thank you.

Went here with the family and friends after Remembrance Sunday. I had an amazing roast chicken dinner with all the trimmings! Delicious! The staff are lovely, very attentive. Would thoroughly recommend!x

First visit to this pub and always a bit nervous about having a roast dinner other than at home but it was delicious! Attentive staff.

Headed out for a bite and was recommended The Saddle. Easy to park and find the pub. Food was spot on - wide selection of beers and ciders!

Fantastic value as ever here Family service off Kim and the girls Kiera Huge portions washed with local ales All under £70 for 4

We were passing and decided to stop at the Saddle to have some lunch. We ordered mac and cheese for our 11 month old daughter to come out at the same time as our starters. When it came out my husband was spooned some pasta onto her tray which she happily ate. He spooned some more only to find a shard of sharp clear plastic in her food. I hate to think what would of happened if she put that in her mouth. I complained to the waitress and she apologised and went to tell the kitchen staff. She came back and said someone most of dropped the plastic container it was kept in. Her meal was taken off our bill but after that I didn’t really want to eat mine. I hope that container of Mac and cheese was binned and they haven’t carried on serving it to other children!! Won’t return.

We were at a local's funeral in the church at the end of the high street and wanted to give the immediate family time to get back to the house , so a group of 8 cousins (&partners) wanted just Tea at 3.40 They welcomed us in , even though we were not there for drinks / food but even turned down the television to make it easier for us to talk about our cousin & his funeral . They really could not have been friendlier or kinder . Other people were eating there and the young bar lady even said dogs are welcome !! HOW THOUGHTFUL !! I look forward to returning to meet up with family there again - preferably without a funeral attached !

Had lunch offer of 2 courses for £12 which was lovely. Portions generous and fresh. The fish was one of the best I've had in a long time.Draft beers good, nice chilled wines at a good price. Service excellent and friendly. Clean, bright and welcoming pub with nice garden area.

Okay food, service could be better for sure. Didn’t feel like any of the staff really cared. Small garden out the back, all paving and not suitable for children as covered in cigarette butts.

Good value two or three course lunchtime menu. A useful place to stop and eat. All dishes were a decent size. Lunch and drinks for two for less than thirty pounds.

This is the second time we have had Sunday lunch. We both enjoyed our meals; I had the beef and Loll had the vegetarian cauliflower & bean pie. Service was attentive and prompt. Good value. Our 'go to' option.

Best pub in the village by a mile! One next door is a dump since Steve & Elaine left Had few local pints and fresh cooked Friday fish n chips then headed back to things Great warm service and a pleasure to visit Cheers

We'd booked dinner on Friday evening. When the reservation was taken the helpful member of staff explained that the pub gets busy and we settled on a corner table at the back.

First time in The Saddle and liked it. Nice friendly ambience ( although nobody looked at the TV screen which was on without sound ... why have it on ? ).

4 of us visited in August for Sunday lunch, friendly staff and good service, also value for money as 3 courses for £19.99. We all agreed it was one of the best Sunday lunches we have had for some time.

was passing so called in for something to eat,really good food, would return when next in area, would recommend, staff was freindly, food price was good

After a busy day we decided to go here for a meal. Prawn curry with rice just right, nice heat to it, and just the right amount for me, my wife had scampi with chips, very nice. The chips were chunky and so nicely cooked, lots of them too! Nice selection of beers and house wine. All in all a lovely pub meal served with a smile. Thanks.

I was in the middle of a long bike ride when I d coded to stop at this lovely little pub. The staff were friendly and attentive, I was aloud to wheel my bike through and store it safely in the garden. I d coded to go for the Sunday lunch, roast beef and it was delicious, I also had the apple pie. Great tasty portions, good value, will definitely be back (maybe not clad in sweaty Lycra though)

Always good food, good portions, good value for money and friendly service. We have eaten here several times and have never been disappointed.

Extremely poor service and poor menu choices. Asked if it was possible to get a salad; no-one followed up with an answer to my request. Then I waited for a long time at the bar to order some food. When I was eventually attended to I was 2 minutes too late to order food. Left bewildered and hungry. When I expressed concern I was met with rudeness. Just used to a different level of service so shocked.

Have visited The Saddle a handful of times as family live nearby.

Attended this place for lunch, the website suggested booking but we went on spec and were accommodated quickly. The food was very good and the service quick and friendly without being over attentive.

called in off the cuff for a drink with friends and family. lovely sunday roast smells coming from the kitchen. Friendly staff were able to fit 6 of us in within an hr so we decided to stay. Really glad we did everybody enjoyed their ample plates of food. The roast beef was soft as butter and still medium I had a chicken and wild mushroom pie and it was fantastic. All very much home cooked style and very tasty. Bill was friendly too!! we'll come back and recommend The Saddle no problem. Lovely pub.

Came across this pub on a random day drive. Me, my parents & their dog ,(who got a lovely welcome with a dog biscuit from the staff) We sat in the main lounge area. Comfortable with a lot burner. We only wanted sandwiches & this place was very accommodating as this was a Sunday. Friendly staff. If we're in the area again. We would go here for food.

The Saddle have now produced a new lunch menu.

Nice food, good drinks menu, warm and welcoming. One of our local pubs, service is good, regular evening bar pub for ex Kimboltonians! The menu changes unlike in the sun next door, feels a little more casual than the sun!

Have given up on The New Sun Inn since Steve & Elaine moved on. So off to eat in The Saddle, something not done for a while

Absolutely amazing, the staff were very attentive but not intrusive. Food was amazing. It was quite, but not empty. Will return to try out the lunch menu.

Sólo que no parecía tener suficiente personal de trabajo. Esperamos 10 minutos en el bar para tomar una copa, y luego tuvimos que encontrar los menús de nosotros mismos. La comida entonces tardó una hora en llegar.

Si alguna vez encuentras en Kimbolton el sillín es un pub muy acogedor para los niños que ofrece diferentes tipos de comida de pub. Tiene un pub con sillas cómodas y un ambiente acogedor. El restaurante tiene diferentes especiales de noche, incluyendo pizza y comida hindú. Sirven almuerzo pero la cocina cierra a las 2 pm en punto, que es común en la mayoría de los lugares. Estuvimos allí dos veces durante mi visita y las dos veces tuvimos muy buen servicio. Mi hijo grand, el amante pizza pizza es buena dijo que este! Recuerde pubs y restaurantes en Inglaterra como llamar antes para hacer una reserva. No tengo servicio de teléfono aquí, pero de todos modos me dieron sentado.

Llegamos esperando para comer durante su horario horario. Era como llegar sin permiso para una boda. Cuando pregunté si era posible comer el camarero respondió "tendrá una larga espera - no tienen mucho "

We went out for a Friday drive and found ourselves in Kimbolton,we called in The Saddle and were met by a very friendly barman, nothing was too much trouble, We decided to eat and again we were shown to a lovely table and again nothing was too much trouble, Our daughter has the most lovely looking pizza, I had the Butternut squash and Beetroot burger(amazing full of flavour),my husband had the Steak and Ale pie, which he said was gorgeous with a to die for mash potato, nobody wanted dessert until I saw the Chocolate and Orange cheesecake,omg I had died and gone to heaven, With a pint of Fosters two large (well you have to really) glasses of wine and two cokes the bill came to just under £60.00.Well worth every penny not just for the food but for the staff as well, pity you are not a bit nearer, we will be back as much as we can.Thank you for a lovely evening

Sólo un rápido algunas líneas sobre el Domingo almuerzo que tuvimos aquí. No es el más barato, pero fue uno de los mejores que hemos tenido en la zona. Calidad de carne, cocinar y alegría correctamente para comer. Volveremos.

Tenía un asado el domingo en el sillín. Había oído cosas buenas y como vegetariano que puede ser difícil encontrar un lugar con un decente que ofrece para comer el domingo. Me complace ver una opción que me permitía tener todos los adornos asado como este no es siempre ofrecido. Mi pareja pidió el cordero y tuve el plato vegetariano, un queso de cabra y nuez de albaricoque asado. Fue precioso, y el maridaje fue cocinado muy bien. Verduras y queso coliflor trajeron a la mesa para compartir y nos dijeron que solo para pedir más verduras si es necesario pero había mucho. También teníamos postres, que era encantador. En general, muy razonable, menos de 17 libras por dos campos, la comida era deliciosa y el servicio. Mi pareja también estaba contento de estar sentado así que él podía ver el fútbol en la TV en la zona del bar. . Por supuesto! Sin duda volveremos, especialmente como yo entiendo el menú cambia regularmente, así que espero que haya otro plato vegetarianas sabrosas para probar!

Changing of staff again! New chef is great. Portions are smaller but tasty. Prices have gone up too. Puddings are bought in and generic to lots of places and way too expensive, at £5 each an absolute rip off.

We went in yesterday for my dad's birthday. There was 4 of us. Well where do I start.......The food was fantastic, presented really well, Potion sizes were excellent and cooked to perfection. The roasted duck was absolutely mouth watering brilliant. the service was brilliant and all the bar staff were really friendly and nothing was never to much hassle. Totally enjoyed our meal and will def be recommending you to other people, and we will be back again. The atmosphere was lovely and relaxed. . :)

We were looking for somewhere different for a birthday meal for my husband, found The Saddle. We were welcomed by staff who were friendly and professional. The service we received was excellent. the food was out of this world and there was a good choice, although limited, all needs were catered for. The food was cooked fresh and came out piping hot. we did not have to wait for a table, drink order or food. I had the pie of the day - Chicken, ham and leek in a creamy sauce, all I can say is wow, the pastry melted in the mouth and the filling was superb. My husband had the fish and chips again wow, the chips were proper chips, crispy on the outside and fluffy in the middle yum. the fish was a good size. My son in law had scampi again cooked to perfection and my daughter had the duck once again perfect. All our plates were scraped clean and not a crumb remained. The portions were just the right size.Only my daughter and myself had dessert, (the men were too full and couldn't manage anything else) apple crumble and custard - delicious, waffle and ice cream for the other dessert - again perfection. Price wise very reasonable, including drinks (a bottle of wine, beer/lager and whisky's) the cost was approx. £20 per head. All in all very good value for money, will definitely be returning again and again, think it will become our regular place to eat now.

Visited Sunday to try out the new Chef. One lamb roast dinner, one beef roast dinner. Both cooked beautifully. The accompanying vegetables were varied and more than enough for two persons. The landlord was helping out with a busy lunch time but we didn't have to wait. This is a pub with a good selection of real ales. The food prices are sensible and reasonable.

I moved the village eight months ago and The Saddle has become a favourite haunt. The food is very well done with a regularly changing menu.We only tend to eat in the pub when we have visitors but each time that we have eaten there we have never been disappointed.There is a wide selection of beers and spirits and the pub has a welcoming and comfortable atmosphere. A great place for dog lovers too as dogs are welcomed and there is a large, fully enclosed garden at the rear.

Please read to the end otherwise you may get the wrong idea!!Went to The Saddle on Remembrance Sunday for a family lunch after watching the Kimbolton School CCF parade - thoroughly recommended. On the day we were there the staff were very young and lacked experience. Its not that they were incompetent, had a bit of an attitude, were sloppy or miserable, they just needed a bit more experience which in turn would make them a bit more polished - they'll get there without a doubt. In truth they made a fair job of running the pub and restaurant - they just needed a bit more polish! Nothing was too much trouble - we were supposed to be 9 but only 7 turned up on the day and one of those was a 6 year old who shared a plate with her gran - that wasn't a problem for the staff. Of late I have noticed that some restaurants have taken to saying they do not allow children to share an adults plate. We had taken along some birthday cake - 2 birthdays in the group - I did phone them in advance to make sure it was ok. They were happy to bring the cake out. I felt bad about effectively taking our own dessert into the pub but mitigated this by having a 'round' of teas and coffees. However, what was the food like I hear you ask?I had the slow roast beef cooked rare and I have to say it was an exceptionally good piece of beef, 2 thick slices which were just the right amount. Others had the roast lamb or the steak and ale pie and again the portions were generous. The roasts were all cooked pink and if you wanted yours well done - yes I know, sacrilege, not a problem. The steak and ale pie was exceptional, nice crisp short crust pastry case with tender chunks of steak inside. The gravy served with the roast was superb - I am a bit of a gravy fan ;o) and to be honest I would have been happy with some big chunks of crusty bread and a jug of their gravy!Can't comment on the starters or desserts as we didn't have any.Would I go there for Sunday lunch again - absolutely I would. The food was good and the staff will learn quickly - we all have to start somewhere. Would I go in on a weekday to see what they have on offer, certainly I would given half a chance.

After a very last minute decision for 6 of us to go for Sunday lunch, we were told the saddle was fully booked. We popped in for a drink anyway and the lovely Freddie told us they could fit us in but there would be a bit of a wait for food. We sat down and Jack came over to take our order, he was brilliant, he made everyone laugh, gave advice on food and just had a smile on his face the whole time. It was not only our table he made laugh, people in the bar and other tables around us got the same service from him as well. The food came out much quicker then we expected and was one of the best meals I have ever had. We all come to the saddle quite a lot and always have a wonderful time but today really stood out for me. Thank you for a lovely meal, brilliant drinks and outstanding service!

We had a table for two tonight. My husband had the prawn cocktail starter and chicken and leek pie with mash and peas, I had the tuna steak. The service was fab, our waiter, Luke was very attentive. The food was delicious ! Love the atmosphere in this pub, friendly and chilled. X

We thought we would try somewhere different and came across The Saddle.All three of us had a very good meal, i had one of their pies (chicken) very nice as was the veg that came with it. Everyone very friendly, although service was a little slow. Would go again.Nice Gins too and the serve St Austells beer and lager which is always a good pint.

The saddle has seen a high turnover in staff in recent years. It now seems to have settled on a winning formula of great staff and great food. Regularly updated menu and fabulous Sunday lunches. As a regular to this pub I hope the tweaking is done and we can all enjoy the fabulous food and atmosphere for much longer. High praise to Rob,Freddie,Jess, Lewis and Jack.

Group of walkers booked a lunch at the Saddle to follow a 6.8 m walk around the area , on our return the staff had set up a large table for the whole group and the excellent meals were served quickly. Proper pies,mixed veg, lg fish and chips, sandwiches, soup all filled the needs of the hungry.

Three of us went there today for food, and we were not disappointed! I had the mustard pork and it was so tender, and the peanut butter cheesecake is worth the visit on its own! Highly recommended, incredibly friendly staff and a really pretty pub!

Excellent lunch menu unique to them. Had the most amazing toasted beef sandwich tasty or what. Beef from local butcher. friendly staff who smile. rapid service.

main meal which was a chicken burger was lovely. staff were very helpful and friendly. lovely environment avoid the eaton mess lol

Our third visit to this great pub and another fabulous midweek dinner for 2. To the utter joy of my other half, the 10oz T Bone was on the menu. The Saddle serves the best value steak in the area and cheesecake to die for. The meal was served by the most pleasant helpful lady. Thank you, we'll be back!

Fab pub! Always delicious food served with a smile. The staff are fantastic (Chloe and Jack epically). The managers have got this right!

The atmosphere is great. A mixture of locals and non locals. The food is good pub food done really well and good value for money.

Lovely bank holiday lunch. Great food, large portions . Friendly staff and fab service! Would highly recommend a visit ! X

Excellent lunch with fresh seasonal ingredients and reasonably priced. Only marked down to 4 stars for the following reasons (and these are personal choices): I prefer a plate to a rectangular wooden chopping board, and brioche is a sweet pudding bun and has no place in a meat dish. Otherwise, a very pleasant visit.

Nice & friendly pub and the menu had a good choice and food was good. Pub quiz was on so it got quite busy but the locals where also very friendly.

Had a lovely dinner at the saddle, always quality food and very friendly staff. It's also great prices and seem to be a very friendly place to go just for a drink as well. Only thing is the desserts was a bit hit and miss, some of us had lovely dessert whilst others was either tiny or burnt! But other than that - lovely time - lovely food :-)

Another fab Sunday lunch! Great service chilled and friendly! Lovely Easter Sunday! Lots of food , home cooked, amazing puddings! Lou. X

We had a nice break in the saddle delicious food and reasonably priced and the bitter was truly awesome. We had a walk round the village looked in the grounds of the castle /school and a long walk to the folly it was a lovely warm sunny spring day.

We had the sharing platter. The oysters, scallops and main of rib beef were all served to perfection. So much food we couldn't even manage the sweets because we were so full. Rob and Jess in the kitchen did a superb meal. Thanks.

Been in here for lunch a few times, Fresh food, friendly staff & reasonably priced. Located just on the high st. Would recommend you pay a visit.

Had a fab Sunday lunch! The pub was busy with a good atmosphere. I had roast turkey dinner, my friends and daughter had the beef. Service was great. The food was lovely! Very generous portions, amazing cauliflower cheese, Yorkshire pudding,lots of veg! Sauces and gravy. Well worth a visit and really good value for money too!

went for lunch today with my Father the Soup was delicious and the club Sandwich was superb great service and well presented and a nice choice of beers. We will be back for the Sunday Roast

I have created this account especially to review this public house. I popped in here a few days ago to grab a bite to eat and I must say that it was lovely. There is a varied menu choice suiting all appetites and a fine selection of wine and beer to wash it down with. The service staff were lovely and seemed to thoroughly enjoy their jobs, nothing was to big of an ask. I opted for the pheasant which I have to say is one of the tastiest meals I have had and the price was very fair for such fine food. For dessert I had a waffle with home made ice cream, marshmallow, brandy and chocolate chip.....whats not to like? That too was delicious. I hope to return soon as I was informed that the chefs work towards a constantly changing menu and I wish to try some more of this fine food. The locals all seemed to be having fun in the bar area and I would highly recommend to anyone visiting Kimbolton. Its just a shame that I don't live in Kimbolton otherwise this would without a doubt be my local!! Give it a try, you wont be disappointed.

This place just gets better. Tasty food and amazing Sunday lunches!! Well done to all the staff for turning this place around

A pleasant surprise. Have visited 3 times and each opportunity has provided different food options. Nice creative chef, and I look forward to returning. Enjoyed the lamb twice now!!Only small frustration was the frosty atmosphere from the locals around the bar. But, to be honest I came for the food so this was

Lovely staff, jolly good selection of booze and the landlord and landlady made me feel most welcome. Had a Sunday roast which was ruddy good. I simply cannot recommend this pub enough!

Now a regular, Christmas Dinner was excellent, Food always great, Always a fun atmosphere with a great team - well done Freddie and Rob.

Since Rob and Freddie have run the saddle it has been the best I have known it. With fantastic food (naughty but nice portions) and brilliant staff members! Special mention to Jack who was working the other night, his service was fantastic.I will certainly be visiting again soon with friends and family!

I love the saddle, I've become a regular who ventures in most evenings. Freddie + rob are such lovely people, as are the other staff.

Lovely lunch good value. Excellent happy staff. Comfy pub. Struggle to park only downside. Very well presented food we really enjoyed it

What a lovely evening we had The pub is clean, modern and has a relaxing atmosphere. The staff were friendly and polite. The food was delicious! Well presented and generous portions. The Brownie for dessert was absolutely gorgeous. Well worth a visit

Visited here Saturday lunch time early in December. A small but clean pub spaced out nicely with a stove fire, soft seating and a dining area towards the rear. The menu boasted a fine selection of "Pie & Mash" dishes where upon I opted for a Steak & Rioja pie which was delicious and it had the "handmade" look, definitely not the "pukka pie" machine made look. Well worth the visit and would visit again.

I've eaten here quite often now (at lunch time) and have not once been disappointed. It is a very friendly place with a lovely atmosphere. The food is of excellent quality, beautifully presented and the service is very good indeed. There are two sections to this very well laid out pub/restaurant - a bar area at one end, complete with open fire & a large TV screen. I'm not normally one for pubs with TVs but it's very tastefully done & once you're in the restaurant section, it does not interfere whatsoever with the dining experience. Yesterday, I had the most delicious meal to date - slow cooked beef with roasted root vegetables. It was absolutely divine! A must try - you won't be disappointed...

This was an amazing find as only popped in for a drink but the Sunday lunch looked and smelt amazing. Had the lamb which was served with a delicious cauliflower cheese plus many other delicious veggies. Was a very very tasty meal and probably the best roast ever. Give it a try - you won't regret it x

Pleasant lunch mainly sandwiches and Tapas for an outside lunch in the sum. Club sandwich was delicious and good value. service a little slow as the poor waiter seemed to be on his own, serving at the bar, serving food, running to and from the kitchen but he managed and there was 10 of us!

The menu here needs to have a make over it is trying yo be up market but without substance. If they put more choice on their menu and a few salad and lighter bites I would return.

We dropped in for some drinks during our visit to Kimbolton. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Good selection of beers and ciders. We did not have a meal, however the food that was served looked good.

It was a very nice pub with lovely staff and decor. Unfortunately there was a severe lack of food suitable for vegeterians. I just ate chips, i found this dissapointing from a pub, which in other areas, was great. Thank you - Dodir

Great food, fantastic and welcoming staff, who looked after 21 of us at no prior notice with brilliant hospitality. Excellent value too.

Was travelling through Kimbolton and chose to visit the saddle and we definatley chose right. Upon entering we were welcomed warmly by the staff on the bar and with smiles from the locals in the bar area (not something we get in London very often). My partner and I decided to eat in the restaurant when given the option of restaurant or bar. Both had straight Sunday lunch and it was amazing. good portions and excellent quality. by chance we saw what was described to us by the waitress as a bar roast. which I can only describe as the biggest Yorkshire pudding I have seen filled will al the Sunday roast trimmings (looked amazing). If we come back again that's what I will be having. excellent service and food. yummy!

Improptu evening meal with friends, pub randomly selected, was very pleased with the menu (as it had game listed). Staff were very friendly, parking was a little difficult in the middle of Kimbolton. Beer was good.

My wife abandoned me for he evening so I ventured to the Saddle for a bar snack as the cupboard was bear. I enjoyed a lovely chicken burger with salad and fries and it was just the ticket and I enjoyed it immensely .

We stumbled across this pub, whilst looking for a quick meal in a new area. We are Australians, had driven to the area to stay with friends. We ordered club sandwiches, believing they we would be of a small portion, as we knew we were dining out that evening. Our sandwiches arrived. Huge portions, beautifully presented and tasted exquisite! All for 8.95 each. Priceless! One of the best meals we had in our three week UK stay. The chap behind the bar was very pleasant, the pub extremely clean. Returned the next day for lunch again with family. Another super well priced meal. Hope to dine there on our next visit to the UK. Thankyou!!

Bit rough, lots of locals , food was bad, no good sports on ,I didnt care. Not much parking. needs more fish

Visited tonight prior to going to the Mandeville hall cinema night. Staff lovely. 3 of us had the fish and chips 1 had the pie which looked lovely. Fish and chips very good and obviously home made. Only criticism it was a bit noisy from drinkers in the bar. Can't really do anything about this it is what it is and nice to see the pub busy with locals. Maybe we should have been offered the other room rather than a table in the bar as we were the only people eating so it was empty in the adjoining room. Great for a quick bar meal but maybe not for a quiet romantic meal or some where to have a dinner and linger over the experience. Would go again for a quick bar meal but not a restaurant to go out to with friends for the evening but trying hard and food we had was very good.

nice food but quite slow service :( we thought they didnt look after us and offered for refils and stuff like that
