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.

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.

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

We generally travel to London or abroad for our anniversary but decided to stay local this year. We made a fine choice to go to The White Pheasant where we found the food meticulously presented, scrumptious and colourful, the staff friendly and efficient especially Luke the restaurant manager. Great value for money having had the 7 course tasting menu paired with recommended wines. I think it is always helpful to give some feedback of what you honestly think and make room for improvement where required so here goes.... A little more effort could have been given to where you might seat a couple celebrating their anniversary, not near the walkway of the waitresses and front door also a little thought to the table setting for a anniversary celebration, a little more romantic perhaps. A higher quality choice of after dinner drinks would have also been more desirable. Other than these matters I can only say it was a most enjoyable evening.

We’ve been to this restaurant before, and it was good. This time I decided to try the Moroccan aubergine dish, which sounded lovely from the menu. I was absolutely astonished that all I received was 2 small slices of aubergine and 3 pieces of sweet potato with some seeds scattered and a couple of salad leaves. I wish I’d taken a photo because for £16, this was extremely disappointing. My 5 yer old daughter had a half portion on Fish and chips which I have to say was more than twice what I had on my plate. Luckily sharing hers stopped me from going hungry. I can see there’s clearly a good chef in the kitchen, however, I think there needs to be at least 2 vegetarian options and surely they could be more generous or interesting. To me, this resembled a side dish of vegetables, there was nothing with it, just the aubergine and sweet potatoes. I told the waitress I wasn’t impressed, the chef apologised and we got offered a free desert but had to get home so opted for a discount, which was just £4. So we still paid £12 for a couple of vegetables. On the plus side, we were given nice bread and an amuse bouche for free. We would go back if they thought about non meat eaters a bit more. Such a shame.

Booked this a few weeks ago as party included friends travelling some distance. Staff very good and friendly although very busy, Waited some time for our drinks. Five of the main courses arrived cold. Not a good evening, disappointed as other diners obviously had a different experience.

My wife and I have visited The White Pheasant on 4 separate occasions, each time opting for the 7 course surprise tasting menu and each time experiencing the most exquisite and skilfully prepared food that we have ever had the pleasure to taste. We have been fortunate enough to have dined at some fabulous Michelin star restaurants and both agree that the head chef Calvin, is in our opinion, most certainly at Michelin level.

After our last visit we knew this was a great restaurant so, with a unexpected free Saturday night, we booked in again with a late booking, we weren’t disappointed!

Smallish portions of extremely tasty food. Slightly more expensive than we usually pay, but good for special occasions Last visit December 2016

We’ve been here about a dozen times now and it’s always amazing. We would strongly recommend the tasting menus. Also the staff are both friendly and professional.

My Lady & I enjoyed the seven course taster menu. An extravagance but as keen foodies we just had to try this at least once! It was a delicate collage of flavours and a riot of colours and fragrant food. Bring a big appetite or perhaps just take a sample from some of the dishes? All served with the usual subtle humour by exceptional staff. Every meal we have here is understated. But you leave saying ‘That was so good’. If you seek trendy nonsense go Jamie Oliver. If you want to enjoy really excellent food prepared and served with passion, book a table. Mark Allder.

They were very busy on the evening that we visited and they had a limited number of serving staff. Nevertheless they coped very well in the way that they covered for each other and the food was excellent. Mostly the service was very good though there was a period when it got a little inattentive.

We splashed out on the 7-course surprise tasting menu and were not disappointed. The food was wonderful, and the service made it a really special evening. Everyone who served us was efficient, helpful, relaxed and smiling. Special thanks to the woman who was responsible for selecting and serving the wine flight.

Even though it was a busy Sunday (Fathers Day) we received excellent service and the food was First Class. We were the last table to arrive so the Roast Pork had all gone. The chef very kindly cooked a couple of chicken breasts for the non Red Meat Eaters in our group which was very much appreciated and I feel makes the difference between good customer service and excellent customer service. The Strawberry mess with honeycomb was the perfect end to a great meal. A Fair price charged for an excellent meal. We will be back!

My wife and I visited for our 21st wedding anniversary and thoroughly enjoyed the relaxed and friendly atmosphere along with some fantastic food. Will definitely visit again, the only downside was that it’s taken so long to discover the place!!

We enjoyed a a spectacular anniversary meal here. From beginning to end the whole evening was provided for by a first rate service headed up by Luke who was on fine form. Bubbly on ice was waiting for us upon arrival and a masterpiece of cooking soon followed; delicious starters, terrific mains and truly scrumptious desserts. This is by far the best restaurant in the area and is highly recommended.

Had a fabulous treat with the 7 course tasting menu! Service was amazing, my only small criticism was the last course was a very basic cheese and biscuits, which was a disappointment after the other wonderful courses and the incredible amuse bouche. Great place for a special meal.

We live in Surrey but have family that live near Fordham. This was our second visit to The White Pheasant and, as before, it was excellent. We enjoyed a variety of dishes from soup to Sea Bass; all incredibly tasty and beautifully presented. The waitress that served us was friendly and knowledgeable, and the fudge served with our coffee was the perfect treat to finish with.

Have been a couple of times before and always good, but this time was excellent. Food was delicious. Service wonderful. We are local so this is now top of our list. We are 1 minute walk from the Merry Monk in Isleham and 10 years ago we would have written the same about there, however it has gone downhill over the years, especially in service, such that we will no longer go there. Highly recommend the The White Pheasant, and will be back ....soon

Great food and service, with a fantastic matching of gins. Was a very busy night, but fun all the same. Would definitely go again, worth the money because I don’t go out very often.
