The White Pheasant in East Cambridgeshire

Really disappointing experience. We came for the Sunday lunch and the food was undercooked- the chef seemed to be coming out and telling people that it was the quickest service of his life- seems strange to me to admit that you rushed everyone’s food and then make them pay the same prices. The gravy was watery, the carrots and parsnips were raw and the potatoes were oily. I understand having bad days but it is unacceptable to charge the same prices when you are aware the quality is bad. There are far better places In Cambridgeshire to go for a roast- especially considering this one cost £20 for a single plate of food!!

Quaint country pub. Friendly attentive staff. Very well cooked and presented Sunday roast. The highlight for me was the delicious, thick tasty gravy and the sublime cauliflower cheese. Definitely one to revisit.

We visiting for lunch on Saturday and had a choice of a brunch menu (served all day) or a varied lunch menu. Plenty of choice from light bites to traditional pub fayre. Everything was reasonably priced too and a good selection of wines, beers and drinks. The interior of the pub is very welcoming with seating to the front as well as a large garden to the rear. Definitely recommend and will be visiting again.

We live in Cambridgeshire, and chose White Pheasant, Fordham (first time) here to celebrate my birthday with friends. We couldn’t have picked a better place to dine in the area. Excellent food at reasonable cost. I had my favourite sticky toffee pudding for dessert and must say it was the best I’ve ever tasted. From the starter to the dessert it was mouth watering. Staff were very friendly and even the chef came out to ask how the meal was. This was the only way to end my birthday celebrations. Thank you to all staff.

This is our local, and it gets better and better. The owners are very friendly and we always have a good laugh. Richard the chef produces some of the best food I’ve had. Always happy to chat and often comes to make sure everything is okay. The seafood at the weekend was amazing. Sunday roast are too notch. This is a great place to just come and enjoy a beer or 2! Also.

We ordered the sharing roast for 5 people, £28pp which we at first thought was a little bit steep, but when the food comes out and you see how much you get, and the flavours … it is so worth it. Other roast options are also available and would be equally as delicious. The food is to die for, so much that we are taking home 3 tubs of leftovers! The meat is melt in your mouth, you get pork belly, beef done medium and chicken with crispy skin. Yorkshire puddings which are clearly made fresh as well as fluffy roast potatoes. Tons of veg, roasted and chantenay carrots, kale, parsnips, cabbage, and lots of it too. My personal favourite was the cauliflower cheese, absolutely bloody amazing…. You rarely get enough gravy when you go out for a roast, but this came with two full additional boats of hot gravy, which was clearly reduced down for hours! Best roast I have ever had, 1000% coming back!!

Fantastic food and excellent service! Can’t fault this restaurant - we go there regularly and have never had a bad meal. The standard of ingredients, the diversity of the menu, and the consistently excellent customer service - honestly it’s an exceptional place.

Not a very busy lunch time service. Sorry I could not give a 5 rating this time. The food was still very good and looked fine of fish and chips and a chicken and mushroom pie. The pie looked good but was bland with little taste. Why do you server a rich red meat gravy with chicken pie. Plenty of liquid in the pie. The restaurant was cold and no birthday wishes given even if Included on the in the booking form . Why ask if you do not take any notice.

The most amazing turkey dinner with all the trimmings that I’ve ever had! It was lush. The staff couldn’t have been more helpful.

Family birthday meal out with Family to this very beautiful pub. A roaring open fire and friendly staff greeted us on arrival. There was plenty to choose from on the menu (but not too much) The food was phenomenal. With a fussy husband I always worry if he will find anything but he was spoilt for choice. Good traditional food but on another Level! I cannot recommend The White Pheasant highly enough. The Sausage and Mash, Traditional Turkey and Braised Blade of Beef were a big hit on the table but the Gingerbread Cheese cake for me was the star of the show. All finished off with one of the nicest coffees I've had when out. Can't wait to try the breakfast and dinner menu soon.

Great food, great atmosphere and great service. Definitely would recommend the Christmas dinner. The new owners are very attentive and give great service. I have been 3 times and every time had a difference meal and every time the meal has been excellent. Really good quality food at a reasonable price.

Excellent food and great drinks selection. Personal service and great ambiance. Good to see the place thriving and attracting a great mix of people from this expanding village.

We had such a good dinner here! Great menu choices, great options for gluten free and the service was fab too! There’s a really nice vibe in the pub, open fire, very friendly. There was a minor delay with our starter but the chef himself popped out to let us know and offered alternatives so there was no problem at all. All the food was delish and overall good value for money! We’ll defo be back!

Fantastic food and brilliant atmosphere. Chloe was so lovely and looked after us. Very supportive of my friend with multiple allergies

We walked in very encouraged, lots of people for 6:30pm, there was a nice hum to the atmosphere. Service, friendliness, oh the joy of seeing a specials board. A choice of tables, we picked the wrong one with the foursome next to us hellbent on shouting to each other rather than talking. It was a table that was squeezed into the space, fully understand this but next to the wall on the Kitchen walkway I did feel cramped. The Guinness head did not show itself above the lip of the glass and the Prosecco missing any sparkle. The Chicken Schnitzel with Parmesan fries was absolutely tasteless and with no visible Parmesan. The F&C's batter was flat and holding to much oil. We booked based on the excellent website pictures so our expectations were high. I hope you fined this constructive as we wish you every success based on your lovely front of house service

Lovely place nice atmosphere. Staff very friendly and pleasant throughout. Good selection of drinks to chose from. We ordered the beer battered fish on a bed of crushed peas and tartar sauce with chunky chips . Fish nice and tasty. With a plaice cooked in butter with capers, new potatoes and broccoli stems again cooked to perfection. (See pictures) would we come back? Yep booked again on the way out to return with friends.

WWe eat out a fair bit and I can be a very critical diner, but there was not one thing to criticise in the meal we had at the White Pheasant. The menu was so much more interesting than the majority of places in the area and each course was delicious. It was also very good value for money. We would thoroughlyu recommend.

The beautiful village of Fordham has a variety of excellent eateries and the White Pheasant was one of three that we tried whilst staying in Wicken at our holiday cottage. Pre-booked for this Thursday evening visit and we all chose three courses from the a la carte menu. From the moment we arrived at this bonny English public house we felt very welcome by all of the staff especially I guess, the manager/owner a Scottish chap who was very engaging on 'on the ball'. All of our meals were thoroughly enjoyed, my Pork cutlets, a fish dish and the steak chosen by other friends but a have to say that the dark chocolate/cherry dessert took me to another level- delicious. Local ale enjoyed, wine, naturally and all enjoyed with a tranquil atmosphere that enhanced the mood. Fantastic experience and good value for money.

We have been to the White Pheasant many times, never have we had a bad experience but each time it has been lovely, great service and wonderful food the best restaurant by far and value for money

We booked here as we tried a pub in Isleham who wanted a deposit, which we didn’t want to make, so the phone was slammed down us. The Rising Sun in Isleham was fully booked and suggested the White Pheasant. The place is absolutely lovely, the staff so welcoming and friendly. We were here for Sunday Lunch and oh my goodness what a find. The food was incredible, tasty, hot, beautifully presented. Absolutely faultless from the second we arrived. We will be back and hopefully be able to get a table!

Delicious! Had the blade of beef, never had it before but I’d def have it again, it was actually better than any fillet I’ve had, flavour was delicious it actually fell apart, staff could not do enough and were extremely attentive. This is our second...

Went with my wife to their Ibiza Jazz evening. The pub is laid out very nicely, and the staff are all very friendly. We had the special menu, and the food was lovely, particularly the duck. It was a shame for the pub that there...

Nice pub, very nicely laid out and presented. Service excellent and food good, portions a bit on the small side.

We booked with ease and were welcomed by the staff into the comfy warm restaurant on a rainy day. The breakfast was so yummy and we will definitely be returning!!! The butter for toast needed to be softer though, otherwise can’t fault the place.

The tasting menu was amazing. Such thought and skill went into every course. The service was really attentive and the presentation of each dish was really impressive. Fabulous experience.

Visited this lovely restaurant on Saturday night and wow what a fabulous night we had. Every single dish on the taster menu was excellent it was actually better than some Michelin star restaurants. The wine flight was perfectly paired with each dish. If you are looking for a special occasion restaurant or just want something different from the rest then try this lovely restaurant. The staff are friendly and the Covid measures were spot on they really could not have done any more. Well done The White Pheasant we will definitely be back

This was our first venture to a restaurant since lockdown started. Thought it would be safe as such high quality restaurant. On arrival the restaurant looked much as normal... maybe one less table? We were not asked to wear our masks as we walked to our table - masks weren’t mentioned at all and none of staff were wearing them. In fact, the only acknowledgement of COVID was the track/trace form we completed and some hand sanitiser upon entry. The chef clearly knew a group eating in the restaurant and came out to greet them warmly, closely, shaking hands and keeping no distance... and then went back to kitchen. Later, some of the group went to see the kitchen. We were appalled and left as soon as we could. This disregard of the risks we face is completely unacceptable and as I said before we left, we won’t be returning until COVID is cured.

Had the most spectacular meal last night. A brilliant well balanced and delicious taster menu. Inspired and well thought through dishes, I would totally recommend this and the food was better than some of the Michelin stated dishes I have eaten, the Olive Oil cake as part of the desert was unforgettable. Thank you White Pheasant

We enjoyed the tasting menu just one week after they reopened after Covid. The dishes were delicious, my only disappointment was the vegetarian roasted cauliflower which was tasteless and bland. My hubby's pork was the best he had ever tasted though. Not sure their Covid precautions were all they could be but they did their best and we felt safe.

Change in owners quality and imagination of food has plummeted. Last time we ate here food was tepid, service was sullen and menu was banal. If you want good food and tasting menus look further afield. This is a slap dash attempt at gourmet dining. I gave a 2 because I have never given a 1 star but it was close

Sunday Roast Lunch to go! During this unprecedented crisis, many restaurant businesses have struggled with what they can do to still provide a service within the local community. Thankfully Calvin at The White Pheasant has been able to put together a Sunday lunch menu for you to collect and enjoy at home. Very simple ordering and payment process, contactless collection service and great tasting food too! Enjoyed by all in my house and greatly appreciated during this unusual time. Thank you!

Visited the White Pheasant with a friend a few nights ago, and I have to say, the food was phenomenal. The venue is welcoming and the waitresses were all so friendly. Every dish we had, even something as simple as olives, or their bread, it’s extraordinary. Even though the restaurant was clearly very busy, we felt as though we were really taken care of. Will definitely be coming back, such a lovely experience.

Stopped for lunch yesterday food disappointing. Lamb tasteless, duck over cooked maybe should have been asked how we would like it cooked.Shame used to be so good will avoid in the future.

Went for a birthday celebration, attentive friendly service, excellent food beautifully presented. Thank you.

Visited for a birthday meal and we both enjoyed the 5 course tasting menu which I had with a flight of 5 wines. Despite me being a bit of a non-vegetarian, we cleared our plates of every morsel, and by the end of the meal (and coffees) nearly 3 hours later we were both plesantly full. The food is excellent, though we did have to enquire what several items were just to satisfy our own curiosity (ah, so that is what roast artichoke hearts look and taste like!). The wine complemented each course nicely, and Beth served us efficiently and professionally. Only two small negative points: it would be good to leave the side plates for the amuse-bouche as they were not the easiest things to eat, and the sparkling water seemed very expensive. Having said that, the whole package was a treat, and we will certainly venture here again. Complements to Calvin in the Kitchen !

Went here on New Year's Eve at lunch. It was quietish - only 4 tables taken - but they were on the ball. A shortish but well-chosen and balanced fixed price menu was offered and at £24.95 for 3 courses it turned out to be excellent value. I have to eat out a lot for work, and all over Europe. I'd be happy to bring anyone here. The presentation of all the food was good. The seasoning likewise. And the cooking first rate. Puddings were a surprise and a delight - have one! Really recommended. I will be back. The best restaurant in the area by some way, I would say (and I have tried most) and putting some of them to shame.

Soooo good Just love our local restaurant- a real gem. Staff are wonderful, food amazing. Can’t recommend highly enough.

The starters were pretty good, but offering nothing but risotto as the vegetarian main course was disappointing. I've nothing against risotto, but by its nature it's a rather homogeneous meal. Each of the three meat/fish options looked more ambitious and varied. A second choice for vegetarians would have been welcome.

Went to try the pheasant Sunday lunch. Gorgeous gastro pub, very welcoming efficient staff, but the star was the totally amazing food.my husband and I had different things for each course and every thing was cooked to perfection and packed with flavour. ( the cranberry sauce was quite tart for us) A truly pleasant dining experience, we will be back very soon. Perfect food perfect service.

The restaurant is nice inside and the staff are very welcoming although it was a little cold even with the fire going. The first thing that I wasn’t so impressed with was that there were a number of complimentary tasters but at no point did the waitress ask me whether I had any dietary requirements or allergies, as a non-meat eater I couldn’t eat the lamb served first and then the amuse bouche also contained meat. On the second taster I pointed out I didn’t want it and they did bring me a meatless version, but really given the number of dietary requirements these days I would have thought this should be something asked up front. The food was fine but nothing amazing for the price, I was particularly unimpressed by the £8 bread and butter pudding for dessert which consisted of 3 small round pieces, this is not what I was expecting for the price and it most certainly wasn’t so good that I was happy to pay this type of money. To top everything off they add 10% to your bill for service charge, so the bill for 2 of us with some nibbles to start (not proper starters) 2 main courses, 1 pudding and 2 glasses of wine was over £100. I most certainly will not be going back.

My Wife has wanted to visit here as the reviews looked good . The staff were freindly and helpful. Rather confused to be given the wine list before the main menu .As untill desiding what to eat would infulence wine choice. Her choice of Beef was good . I desided on Venison suet pud . Very thin suet crust not that impressed with the size. Then went forBread & Butter pud . Three very small rollls of Bread. with a small ice cream. It was fine dinning NOT Sunday Lunch food. Rather disapointed .

Wife and I treated ourselves to midweek dinner. The food as usual was excellent. In addition the service was also top class, very friendly knowledgable and polite Stand out tastes this visit were the new cauliflower amuse bouche and the marmalade ice cream with the “Bread and Butter” sweet. Everything was spot on though. I don’t mind paying the price for food that good. We will return.

Visited here with my friend for dinner on Friday evening as we were staying close by. We had such a nice evening meal and great wine. Friendly staff and exceptionally good food. Wish we lived closer.

We have had many excellent meals at the White Pheasant, Fordham. The food is innovative without being 'a challenge". At our most recent visit I had an excellent confit trout starter and an equally excellent lamb main course. The wine list is interesting and accessible - I would especially recommend the house white. The staff are friendly and helpful.So in summary. excellent food in a friendly setting.

We love coming to this restaurant. The food is imaginative, delicious and beautifully presented. The staff are welcoming and friendly and clearly want you to enjoy your experience.

We thought we would give this restaurant a try as it had been recommended to us. We were shown to a nice table but it took a while for drinks and even menu to arrive. We waited one and a half hours for our main course which was very disappointing and tiny portions. The starter was similar too so didn't bother with a dessert! No apology for wait and we saw a group of 4 people actually walk out. Will not be returning.

Very good meal, it wasn't as busy this time as on previous visits, therefore not very much atmosphere but still very enjoyable.

Friendly efficient staff found us a table without booking.

Reserved a table in the garden on a sunny Sunday evening which was great. The gin selection is good but the tonic and lemonade are out of large co-op/Tesco bottles. I would have expected Fever Tree tonic given the price of the drinks. That was the only negative but for a fine dining restaurant the drinks don’t match the food!

Ordered from the a la carte and specials menu. Starters, pre starters and drinks were all great. Duck main was great. However my steak was not good - loads of gristle, around 30-40% of it. Also the chips were not the triple cooked chips as seen here on the pictures. The chips were cheap frozen fries, I’d actually prefer McDonald’s fries to them.

Was really looking forward to eating here.Went for the tasting menu which did not disappoint although service although friendly and efficient was not at the level of professionalism the food warranted while the ambience did not match it either which is a shame.

Tried the tasing menu and all dishes were tasty, well presented and served by relaxed, friendly staff. Would go again, but maybe try a la carte.

Nice pub food well thought through and tasty. Did think some of the dishes looked nice but to eat could have done with few more vegetables and maybe the mains was a few pounds overpriced for around the area. Is just my opinion that would help me come back but hope they do well

This place used to be excellent. The tasting menu was innovative and the wine was great. I’ve visited many times, but this will be my last. Sadly, it has really gone downhill. In my last two visits, the food has been average, and the wine glasses have been tiny. They must be trying to cut costs because it’s really terrible value for money now. If you don’t want to be disappointed, think of it as an OK pub rather than a nice restaurant.

wonderful . Everything was absolutely tasty

Really enjoyable evening meal to celebrate a special occasion.

Thanks for the fabulous food and service on Saturday. The pairings were sensational, as were the explanations of what we were about to eat and drink. Thanks also for putting on a vegetarian option for my wife, though the veggie main was a little simple when compared to my feast!

absolutely fantastic service and beautiful meal you will not be disappointed!! this is my second time visiting and we decided to do the taster menu it was absolutely delicious. will definitely be back soon! thank you to the staff and the chef who create a good ambience.

We went to the White Pheasant for my husband’s birthday. Our dinner was just delicious, the service was very good, would highly recommend a visit there.

Have eaten here a few times now, and cannot praise enough! We have tried a couple of tasting menus and also Mother's Day Sunday lunch. Nothing is too much trouble for the knowledgable staff, every whim catered for. Lovely wine list too. We will be returning soon.

We had the "Taster Menu" with a specific wine with each course.

Called in for a pint and lunch with my wife. The White Pheasant had been recommended by a work colleague so we thought we’d give it a try. The restaurant was quiet with all two tables by occupied as we entered, waiter very pleasant explaining the special menu on the board. Very limited beer and lager selection, not a big issue. The food menu seemed expensive but we thought you’ll pay for top quality fair. £9 for an asparagus starter consisting of 4 asparagus spears and a radish cut in half! Tasted great but £9, a bit strong I feel. I’m sure some people are happy with £24 for monk fish but it’s not for us. Won’t be back, won’t be bringing work colleagues or customers.

This is a lovely place to eat and the food was very good- just not enough of it!! We had the roast beef and were served two very small pieces. The veg, which were beautifully cooked, were served in small individual-type bowls but that was for four of us!! Wouldn’t get away with that in Yorkshire!! I’m sure if we’d asked for more they’d have brought it, but that would have been a bit embarrassing. Otherwise it was very nice.

Visiting on Mothering Sunday on the way to a Nation Trust house we expected it to be busy and it was. The good news was that the staff were attentive, efficient and not intrusive and very quick to pick up and deal with any requirements. We broke with tradition and had a starter rather than a pudding which was excellent followed by the Sunday Roast which was ok. We all felt that the meat was cut too thick (Beef & Pork) and the three of us sauce's missing, the pork no Apple Sauce and the two Beef's were missing the horse radish. That having been said I would and probably will return.

As my wife and I had dined at the White Pheasant one time previously and were quite pleased, we decided to to make reservations for a Sunday roast and the 2nd time around, we just as pleased as the first time. When we first entered the White Pheasant, we were greeted very warmly by the staff and were escorted to our table. All the staff that catered to our needs were very knowledgeable, friendly and very efficient. The ambience was very nice and cosy with the light sound of jazz like music in the background. Both my wife and I had the duck spring rolls as a starter; my wife has the roast beef and I had the roast lamb for the mains and for dessert, I had the Sticky Toffee Pudding which was one of the best I ever had. My wife had the Strawberry Mess but was quite disappointed that she did not get the Sticky Toffee Pudding as it was an indication of just how good it was. After you enjoy a nice Sunday roast in the White Pheasant, you realize how important it is to make reservations in advance due to its popularity.

The service was friendly and Superb. Food excellent surroundings amiable and cosy I ordered a fish which ws tasy with a lobster and crayfish sauce but was blown away by the veg

Just been for Saturday afternoon birthday meal. Party of 8 plus child. Couldn’t have been looked after any better and all the food was superb. Thanks to all the staff.

Lovely restaurant. Warm welcome. Great food. Steak cooked perfectly. Found it purely by chance and it didn't disappoint. Would recommend for couples, friends and family.

Visited with two friends for dinner and we decided to go for the tasting menu. All I can say is ‘amazing!’

We’ve been here a couple of years ago and were a bit put off by the attitude but last night was much, much better. We had a special deal on the taster menu and enjoyed excellent service (thank you Anya), a good selection of wines by the glass and a couple of very good courses with nothing to let the evening down. I’d have liked a menu so that I would know what’s coming then I could plan my wines better but that’s a minor grumble. A bigger grumble would be an extensive ‘gin list’ (that’s good) at the top end of the price scale (that’s bad). But then you don’t have to drink gin. Good place. I will return.

Let me start by saying we have had some fabulous meals here, usually the several course taster menu of really interesting flavours, textures and colours. We come here to experience something really different and have never been disappointed before, and generally save our visits for a real treat.

We were a party of 11. The men in our group had come directly from the Ely Beer Festival and were eager to eat! Our table was ready for us and the waiting staff were very helpful and friendly.

This is our second visit to the White Pheasant; we loved it so much the first time that we returned this month. What we liked the most about this country restaurant is how cosy and intimate it is: management have kept the table count to a minimum, meaning it’s never crowded and noisy, perfect for a romantic dinner. On our last visit, the menu was limited to a 2 or 3 course option with 4 or 5 choices, and we really enjoyed that aspect: quicker decisions on what to eat, and everything was cooked and presented perfectly. By keeping it simple, the chef has really got it right and the quality of food is superb. The homemade bread and appetisers brought to the table were really nice touches before the meal. My personal favourite dish was the rump of lamb, which was the best lamb dish I ever ate. Add to the wonderful food a very friendly and personable service, and this restaurant is now on our top list of places to eat near Ely.

Two of us enjoyed an excellently cooked and presented dinner early on a Saturday evening. The restaurant was very quiet when we arrived* but gradually got busier and the table service catered for the build up. In particular, our young waitress was a model of one seeking to serve in an amiable manner. *Nevertheless we were seated right next to a young family with two delightful but boisterous children.

Excellent meal with great service. They always have a good selection of specials based on local produce.

A most excellent lunch, flavour throughout, compliments to the Chef. And unexpected extras - Prosecco, quality crackers, tasty homemade bread, delicious amuse-bouches, mince pies. Serving staff worked tirelessly. New Year’s resolution .. to return more often!

We had a table of 18 for a birthday celebration dinner.

Perfect Sunday celebratory lunch for Mum and Dad's 66th Wedding Anniversary. Every meal was beautifully presented and extremely tasty and the service very attentive with very pleasant staff. Many thanks.

Dined at The White Pheasant for the first time last night and have only good things to say. Staff were attentive without being annoying, very well trained and knew exactly how long to leave you alone before taking orders.

My first visit, been meaning to try for ages. With a large party of friends for our annual Christmas outing. Absolutely loved all 3 courses, delicious flavours and combinations and beautifully cooked. Felt it was good value in light of the high quality and portion size. Service was efficient and professional but also warm and friendly. I look forward to returning soon!

I’ve been to this splendid eatierie on a number of occasions happily. My visit was good in the main this time. Perfectly cooked scallops with a tasty pickled beetroot salad. Slight fault was an excessive amount of greenery. Then excellent roast turkey with trimmings. The turkey was moist and succulent, roast potatoes to die for with good selection of other vegetables. My only comment is that th sprouts were a little too al denote for my taste. Another couple of minutes ,or so would have been fine.

en route for Norfolk we tried this up-market pub for lunch and were very pleasantly surprised. Warm welcome, good food in small portions reasonably priced. Plenty of parking. Thoroughly recommended.

We were lucky to find this little gem of a restaurant . Super food very helpful and attentive staff found it by chance . not far away from Newmarket lovey relaxed feel . It is in Fordham not Ely but one you should try .

We have been to the White pheasant on a number of occasions and we are never disappointed. The food is always delicious and the staff are always welcoming and friendly. Great for a Sunday roast or for a special occasion.

Firstly, it's in Fordham, not Ely as the caption shows - that's some miles away ! Stumbled upon this ex-pub today, although used to go there occasionally years ago, before its makeover. Rather unappealing from outside and quite easy to miss with a faded inn sign, this is a real treat on the High Street of a now-bypassed village near to Newmarket. The food is simply outstanding and the joint-owner looked after us nicely. Got busy steadily on a Friday lunchtime. Nouvelle cuisine done really well. Doesn't break the bank.

My partner and I have been really busy of late and not had chance to even breathe so decided to treat ourselves to a couples evening... we were not dissapointed. We decided on the taster menu and it really delivered, we had an evening to die for, the food was delicious and the staff were very attentive, we will be revisiting when our feet manage to touch the ground again. We have been previously and it’s always an evening we look forward to, it really brought us back down to earth after a hectic few weeks! Thank you to the team at The White Pheasant, we’ll be back soon

We came across the White Pheasant purely by chance and we are so delighted we stopped to have lunch. The welcome could not have been more warm, friendly and accommodating. The choice of food was excellent but sadly we only had time for a quick lunch so each choose one course. It was a shame we could not linger as the food was excellent. We could not explore the wine list but from what we saw it was thoughtfully put together and interesting. Overall we thoroughly enjoyed and would hope to visit again if we were in the area.

We opted to go to the White Pheasant later rather than earlier for Sunday lunch because we like to eat late on a Sunday. Unfortunately most of the specials were sold out when we arrived which was disappointing but also understandable. Service was ..luke warm (despite asking for drinks on arrival and giving our requirements) they took some time to appear and no choice given for the choice of gin. The restaurant was busy and full of children having a good time.... however, we might have been better off chosing an evening when all the little lovelies are tucked up and not screaming at the top of their lungs. Absolutely love well behaved children and love good food but clearly those little ones who are not so happy being sat at a table for any length of time ....I need say no more. Food when it arrived was good but not excellent, as I had been lead to believe. Wine list was okay but again, not extensive - expensive for what it was - yes. Unfortunately money better spent elsewhere and cannot say we would rush to return, unfortunately because I was looking forward to discovering something special locally.

Thank you so much for a fantastic night last night! We celebrated my other half’s birthday with the 7 course menu with accompanying wines. Food and service was exceptional and the selected wines worked perfectly with each course. We look forward to seeing you again.
