The Yard in Peterborough

It’s a lovely venue, clean , welcoming and lively. Friendly staff, and good service. We ordered food which was very promptly served. A bacon and cheese burger, and a Chibatta chicken sandwich with sweet potato fries. The food was plentiful, very tasty, and reasonably priced. The only downside to the visit was the cocktails. A great selection, and good value (2 of the same for £12.95), however were a little disappointing. They were more syrup than alcohol; tasted weak and too sweet. The cherry Bakewell cocktail was akin to drinking a child’s ice slushy! Apart from the slight disappointment with these, rest of the bar very good; a nice selection of draught beers and lagers. Overall, a most enjoyable evening and will visit again for sure… but might in future just drink the draught stuff then move onto the nearby Turtle Bay for some far superior cocktails.

I regularly buy chicken from them. They sell outstanding quality of meat which is helping me with my dietary needs and keeping my family healthy. It's good to know that they really care for the animals on the farm. I am so thankful for all they work. ❤️

Visited Saturday afternoon for a cold drink and scone. Wanted to sit outside as it was such a nice afternoon. The only free table was literally stacked with dirty plates,glasses,cups,cans. I went inside and although the entire place was empty EVERY table was also stacked with dirty crockery!! Half eaten meals,flies everywhere. One of the tables outside became vacant so I ordered my coke and scone and asked that the table be cleared.. A very reluctant lad came out and cleared the debris,didn’t bother to wipe the spilt salt,ketchup and general mess up. Another customer was loading dirty plates from her table onto another but still nobody bothered to clear up. My scone came out like molten rock,it had clearly been zapped too long in the microwave. When it had cooled down enough to hold I tried to cut the scone,it was rock hard. By this time the staff were out enjoying the chaos that was happening in the grounds of the cathedral and clearly weren’t interested in customers. Definitely won’t be returning,the whole place was dirty.

Chicken screws were nice, soft and juicy! Then restaurant was getting busy and the Seabass with new potatoes were pan fried but a bit over cooked.

Poor lunch menu then they didn’t have most ingredients. Al dente microwaved jacket potato pretty poor. Best part was the chips, took an age to get a baguette and jacket potato to us after the kitchen staff shouted service followed by a big sneeze lovely. Staff seemed un interested not what it used to be unfortunately.
