The Three Tuns, Cambridge in South Cambridgeshire

Five of us went for Sunday lunch. I can honestly say this was one of the best Sunday lunches we have ever had. The food was lovely - & there was plenty of it. The service was great - very attentive. Such a lovely pub too. We will definitely be going back.

Once again, our family of ten had a super time at this historic pub. Maddie was her usual efficient self and her assistant was excellent. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed the excellent food and drink. There's not a lot more to say really - except we are already looking forward to our next visit. David and family, St Ives, Cambridgeshire

We arrived at 1.15 and didn't get served till 2.30. When the food arrived, we were disappointed. The liver was burnt and we complained. The mascapone stuffed chicken was dry and the mushroom cream sauce was congealed as if it had been standing for some time and the moisture had evaporated. The mash potato with both meals was dry and lumpy and didn't taste of any seasoning. We don't think there was any butter or cream put through the mash - just badly mashed plain boiled potatoes. And "seasonal" veg at Xmas doesn't spring to mind as being French beans with peas and sprouting broccoli. We'd expected a mix of things like sprouts, carrots, cabbage, parsnips - things that are winter veg. The food had no flavour. We were so disappointed that we won't be going back. What a shame as the pub is quite local with a very pretty interior.

This is a little gem of a pub. Great food, beer and service. As the other half says, good thing we do not live in the village or he would be there every day for a pint!

Fantastic all round and very cosy

I've been going to The Three Tuns since I was a kid! It's always been such a lovely place to go for a drink or food. Recently went to eat in their Hunter's Lodge section which, especially in the lead up to Christmas, was so festive and magical!

Amazing pub! Service and staff were excellent. Atmosphere fab, and the food was delicious! Best gluten free burger I’ve ever eaten!

A group of ten of us met here for a family get together - being midway between where everyone lived ( so we didn't know what to expect). We were asked to submit a pre-order for the mains - which was reasonable - but there were the inevitable last minute changes. All of this was managed well by Madison who was very patient with us. We arrived, were shown to a reserved table, our pre-orders confirmed (all correct) and service was really good. Will definitely be back for our next meet up. Thanks to the team who looked after us!

Super food in a welcoming friendly place

We have not eaten here before and the slightly officious tone of the online booking emails made us doubt our choice. However, this was the best pub experience we have had in many years. The welcome, the service and the food were all excellent. As vegetarians, to get a good Christmas dinner can be difficult, but glamorgan sausags with all the trimmings were superb. If they weren't homemade, they certainly looked and tasted like it.

Lovely traditional pub, with a great atmosphere, friendly efficient staff and a proper fire. We really enjoyed our meals, sea bass for me and a burger for my husband. On a cold, wet night this was a real haven.

We hosted our Christmas party at the pub. Food was lovely and service was efficient. Decor also pretty and festive.

Lovely pub, good food and there was live piano music when we visited which was a really nice touch

Best roast dinner I have ever had

The food was amazing. Thank you 😊

A lovely village pub, great food and atmosphere, The management & staff are very friendly and helpful.

Lovely meal, excellent service in the most beautiful historic surroundings. We’ll be back 😊

5 Star Sunday roast with a friendly service - highly reccomend. Pork/Chicken/Beef all good. Good array of veg and plenty of Gravy, perfect Roast potatoes and a tower of a Yorkshire pudding topped with parsnip crisps! all cooked to perfection and tasty.

Celebrating my daughter's 18th birthday and the everything was perfect!!! Staff was amazing, Food is excellent! All my guests said that they will be returning again. Fantastic venue, great people and amazing staff. Oh! not to mention that I think the food prices was really affordable in comparison.

Had a great meal Saturday evening. Made to feel very welcome.

Loved this place. Open fire, great beer selection and the food was really good too. Lovely place.

Excellent food freshly cooked and hot. Nice village pub with most accommodating landlord.

A lovely evening celebrating a friend’s birthday. Lovely cocktails and food.

Delicious meal with good pub favourites but also some imaginative alternatives in a lovely atmospheric pub with friendly service and our dog welcomed.

Great pub, really good food and people.

Very friendly and excellent food and drink 😋😋😋

Lovely quaint village pub! Great gluten free options- several choices for dessert too! Efficient service and very cosy.

Fabulous country pub. The favourite for all my colleagues. The fire has been set now that autumn is here, very cosy.

As always the Three Tuns never fails to deliver. Always a great place to eat.

Lovely Sunday Roast. Roast potatoes were slightly underdone but edible. Apart from that, it would have been a 5 ⭐️. Service was excellent and atmosphere really good in this old pub.

Good food and good service... highly recommend it

Just a lovely English pub 😀 food & service excellent xx

A very pleasant pub. A de ent selection of beers. Food was good, hot and reasonably priced for decent pub grub. I had a main/starter on the 2 course for £18(Mon-Thurs from memory). Pleasant staff. Thumbs up.

This place is so consistently good. Great food, excellent beers/lagers too. The building, garden and staff are all amazing.

Very nice, the burger was amazing. The drinks amazing and the person serving was very kind and welcoming.

Great food, drink, service and atmosphere. Piano player was an additional entertainment plus. Will visit again for sure.

As always .... great food, great beer, great landlord and staff and all in all just a fantastic pub

A long wait for food and then we were asked to leave our table while eating dessert as another party was due on there. If the food wait wasn’t so long we would have vacated the table much before. The food was also not great, it all looked like it had been sitting around a long time and tasted much the same. Very disappointed considering the high prices.

Despite the village being underwater the service, food and atmosphere was perfect.

had a lovely Sunday Dinner at the Three Tuns, staff were excellent as was the food and drinks available. nothing more to say

I ordered the Sunday roast (trio of meats) and it was absolutely delicious. Roast potatoes where seasoned perfectly and very tasty. Plenty of food on the plate plus we got a jug of extra gravy. Probably the best roast I’ve had in ages 😃 Highly recommend ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Easy booking, great food, quick friendly and efficient service with a great atmosphere.

All to a very high standard will definitely go back

Food good, service excellent, a good time was had by all 6 of us - including 1 vegetarian, 1 pescatarian, 1 with allergies. Thanks everyone

Extremely tasty food, excellent service and great value

Just had a really lovely lunch here. Exceptional, friendly service and really good food. Had starters and mains and no room left for puds, so we will definitely be back another day to try them.

Great food, great service. Would recommend to all.

Busy lunchtime but service and food were excellent, our grandson more than happy to play on the climbing equipment.

Enjoyed a Sunday lunch here in the garden on a sunny day. Fabulous food and a tasty pint. Not the cheapest but worth every penny.

Beautiful old English pub with amazing food and great atmosphere. Friendly staff and plenty of free parking

Excellent staff and food, especially the chocolate brownie.

We came here with our friends and the kids. The playground outside made the experience for us very enjoyable. The Sunday roasts were very good and we will be back. The Spanish beer selection is very nice too.

Lovely food, excellent service. The setting was gorgeous too in the undercover area in the garden 😊

Delicious Sunday roast, everything was perfectly cooked and red hot. Gluten free diner was well catered for.

Unfortunately, not a great experience. Whilst I appreciate that they were very busy, a 90 minute wait for our main course, to have one of the meals come out raw was not acceptable. I ate my meal on my own whilst waiting for an alternative meal to come out for my husband. Admittedly, we were not charged for our main courses but it kinda spoilt the first day of our holiday. An experience not to be repeated !!

A delightful way to spend a summers evening with great food and outstanding service. It was lovely to see so many people enjoying themselves.

Our 3rd time here. Walked all the way from Fenstanton for the Caribbean night to have a meal and a fews drinks. The add doesn't say must book to eat at all. When arrived they said Food only to pre booked. Wasn't happy decided to cut the lossesand go somewhere else. Next time they should advertise properly. Rather annoying.... Review from previous visit below. Food was more or less traditional pub grub. Creme brulée was the best. Wine a bit expensive. Starters with not much choice. Good countryside pub and nice beer garden. Will return.

Hidden gem. Decent size portions and very good value. Decent wine list and Decent gin selection as well. Piano man every 2 weeks. Decent garden with undercover out eating tables as well which you can dine from all year round and great kids area also. And above all friendly staff and owner. Highly recommend

Had Sunday roast with my daughter and grandchildren. This Sunday. Food is fantastic, friendly atmosphere and staff

Absolutely disgusting place, the staff are very rude, spoke to the manager, some man, he was very egotistical and incredibly rude. The food was mediocre at best. We went on a Sunday as we were told the roasts were something amazing. I had the beef which was well done, tough and chewy, the roast potatoes were burnt, the Yorkshire pudding was flat and doughy like it wasn’t cooked properly and was very heavy. All in all will not be coming back again and will be warning people off this place

Honestly the best roast I’ve ever eaten!!! The ‘nibbles’ selection was also fantastic and absolutely beautiful! Will be back… A LOT

Had an evening meal, the staff were welcoming and ask if we wanted a table inside/garden or semi open area, we chose the later. Good range of drinks and menu had plenty of options including Specials all reasonably priced. I went for the steak & ale pie with chips, veg and gravey etc, fantastic full of flavour and packed with steak. My wife had the crispy chicken off the Specials with slaw and skin on fries, delicious. Portion sizes were good and service excellent. 👏 👏👍

Freshly cooked food served efficiently in a great pub atmosphere Nothing to dislike

Stayed local to the pub while training with work. Used the online book system which was nice and simple to use. A lovely selection of beer, real ales, wines and cocktails on offer. Nice menu with something for everyone as well as the specials on offer. I ordered the three tuns burger, it was absolutely delicious! A very generous amount of fries, some lovely battered onion rings. The burger was perfectly cooked and the bacon was full of flavour. Would highly recommend having food here. I certainly will be going back if in the area again.

First lunch out since restrictions lifted on 17th May. The weather was cold, wet and windy and the pub was freezing. Everyone was sitting in their overcoats inside. Not helped by everyone going out the rear exit and leaving the door open - need a spring closer on that door. The poor lady sitting just inside the door spent her whole meal getting up to close the door. The cream of asparagus soup was delicious and hot. Two of the steak and ale pies had over cooked and dried up pieces of steak but there was plenty of filling in the pies. The veg was hot and well cooked. Desserts were really good. Waited 25 minutes for the bill. Normally would have been happy to sit and chat after the meal but, by then, everyone was freezing and ready to go home. Would go back again on a warm day.

I went to The Three Tuns for a Sunday meal with friends. We sat outside in the covered area. It was really beautiful there, but it was a little chilly. We arrived at 1pm and we only got our food at 2pm. I was starving! I had a gluten free Sunday Roast with beef. The beef was really good, the gluten free Yorkshire pudding was not very nice. I like my vegetables to be healthy, but the vegetables were too undercooked for my liking. They were so hard that it was difficult to cut through them. The gluten free gravy was good. The gluten free brownie dessert was amazing! I don't think I will go back here for a Sunday Roast

Lucky to have this place so close to home. Love the food, the nibbles are amazing! Friendly staff and place has play area for kids. Dog friendly too 10/10

Lovely family meal. Good food, great service and a friendly atmosphere, what more could you ask.

A very pleasant and helpful young woman who served us.

Great friendly pub, with good food. Good selection of beers on tap.

Our whole experience from booking to dining was brilliant. Offered to dine in our outside under cover and heaters available but not needed. Served by friendly staff. A good variety of yummy food, which was hot and beautifully presented . Atmosphere was lovely. They have a play area at the end of the garden for children. In all a very enjoyable evening. Thankyou and we'll done Three Tons, will defo be going back.

Lovely pub for a summer meal with kids. Friendly staff, great play park for children and dog friendly outside.

Popped in for evening meal with friends. A warm and welcoming atmosphere. Food quality was very good Would deffo recommend this pub for drinks and grub

Having been here before we had hoped to enjoy it just as much. Unfortunately we didn't. We were placed by the ladies toilets which whilst there is some kind of air freshener to hide a toilet odor, it was off putting - they should consider doing something different in that area. My steak and ale pie was good, but the chicken dishes were pretty poor. The chicken was chewy. My daughter spat hers out after about a minute of chewing a piece - I (dad) then tried it to see and it was very tough; almost like it had been reheated. My dad (grandad) also had chicken and his was the same. In addition, I like al dente veg, but some of the veg was raw, including the cauliflower cheese, which I didn't think was possible. It wasn't worth sending back because we'd already waited 1 hour for the food (That's not their fault, they were busy, which is a good sign) and everyone was getting hungry. To that end, the atmosphere was good, they have a good pint and the kids play area is excellent.

Wonderful pub, staff and food. Love going there.

This is a traditional old English pub with a log fire, good food and excellent service. We were travelling through and didn,t fancy Cambridge Services (which is nearby) with its fast food outlets and all that goes with them. What a good choice we made.

Excellent loved the pie and wife ha GF sunday lunch v.good

Lovely Saturday lunch, I especially enjoyed the steak and ale pie.

Made to feel valued and nothing was too much trouble to make the experience pleasant. Did not feel rushed and a baby in a pram was also made welcome

Very clicky in the main bar area. Whole bar turned to glare when we entered and staff we in rush to comfort us in and guide us to seating area for dinner reservations. Food was great lovely little pub just a bit off putting when locals are so cold towards outsiders

Lovely pub, food is often good but would advise against ordering steak if you dont like it well done (this is from over a few visits). The staff are wonderful and it's got a great atmosphere.

A lovely cosy traditional pub with unobtrusive music playing. Friendly, polite, and efficient staff. Good selection of food cooked to perfection. I had baked camembert followed by Goan curry. Delicious.

Had a family meal for 17 people last Sunday. The food was delicious with plenty of choice and the service brilliant. We had a large table in the fantastic hunters lodge which has a wood burning stove so all very cosy and warm and absolutely perfect for large groups. Will definitely book again!

Another visit and have come away full of praise for this pub. Everything works very well from the initial greeting to paying the bill. Food is tasty, well presented, and good value which isn’t the case at so many pubs post Covid. Good selection of beers that regularly include a couple of good guest ales. Pub has great character and a chilled vibe which is as important as the food and drink when spending good money eating out. One of those pubs you’re confident will consistently deliver highly and are happy to recommend to friends.

A very good meal at great value. The simple bread and oil was excellent and the steak done just as requested. A fine local ale and very friendly service. It was a busy evening but I was still made to feel there was time for me as a solo diner.

This is a really nice pub. There are kind of three distinct areas, the bar area and two areas with more of a restaurant feel. Four very good real ales on when we visited. The pub is clean and has nice internal features. The food was very good. I really liked the pork crackling and also had the jerk chicken bowl which was incredibly tasty and very filling.

Having had several Sunday roasts locally I can honestly say TheThreeTunns is the best . Plenty of fresh veg , amazing Yorkshire’s with parsnip crisps in and a dish of delicious cauliflower cheese as well as an extra boat of gravy .

Fabulous food, great service Lovely friendly atmosphere, and all the staff are great , including the BOH hard working staff ! Thank u

Really good Sunday lunch as it always is even though we were the last sitting on Mother’s Day.

Very atmospheric pub, good pub food and excellent service. Reasonably priced too

Went to The Three Tuns for a joint birthday meal (my sister and I) with family (party of 6). We had a variety of Sunday roasts between us, all of which were excellent and much enjoyed by all. Service was excellent m- attentive without being imposing.

We stayed at an Airbnb In Fen Drayton and ate at the Three Tuns both nights. What a find! An old-fashioned pub with old-fashioned service. Very clean, delicious grub, helpful and knowledgeable staff. Top notch ales. There was even a pianist on the Friday! We’ll hope to visit again. Alun and Tina Thomas

Great Chinese meal out for Chinese New Year

Felt very rushed, not particularly friendly, menus left in a pile then asked to order more or less straight away. When given our coffee and desert we were told they were closing soon so felt we were rushed to finish. After spending a huge amount with our party, we have definitely decided not to return

Lovely as always! This is one of our favourite places to go for a family meal. Great food, service and atmosphere.

Table of 8 booked for Friday evening April 1st. Wonderful food , superbly presented. Great value for food of this quality. Super friendly efficient service from the staff. Best pub food I’ve found in the Cambridge area, would throughly reccomend

All great thanks! Fajita was delicious

Great little pub with really good food. Staff were efficient and polite.

Really like this pub. Second time to have lunch there - good food, large helpings, good service.

We arrived last Sunday to be taken outside to the outside eating area, we were sat on outside garden benches which were so uncomfortable. The Chairs hurt your legs and the table was so low. We found the whole experience was very disappointing. Shame as we went there on a recommendation. Will not be coming back.
