Ye Olde Sun in Huntingdonshire - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Quintessentially English pub serving fantastic real ale in a friendly atmosphere. My only (very slight gripe) is that I did not get to experience the overly flirtatious curly haired bar maid, mentioned in previous reviews …. maybe my next visit will prove more fruitful?

Looked like a nice pub things started off ok until one of the barmaids took a shine to my husband. Overly flirtatious with innuendo. Dont know names but curly hair. Will not go back didn't go out for that.

We popped in this pub to have a drink and ended up staying for a few 🤣. We was in st Neots but live in London and was overwhelmed by the friendly welcome from the locals. Would love to visit again. Oh and the landlord was great 👍

Great little local. Good range of beer. Landlord grumpy but the locals make this a positive. Barmaids very friendly and make the pub

My advice , don’t bother! The Yorkshire pudding wasn’t cooked, was very soggy. The roast pork, wasn’t sliced from a joint and wasn’t tender. I think the pork was a brought in ready sliced. We wasn’t offered any apple sauce , obviously hadn’t put any thought into cooking ! The vegetables , tasted and looked like cheap frozen ones! We was given two roast potatoes ! There was no taste , the gravy was terrible. 😡 We will not be returning ever !

Visited on a weekday, early evening for a drink before having a meal. We walked in with masks on and all eyes in the pub (all locals crowded around the bar) turned on us. No friendly greeting, just unfriendly glares from everyone including the staff member on the bar. We grabbed drinks, and grabbed a table in the side room off from the bar. The whole time we had people glancing and snickering. One of my party got up to use the toilet (mask on) and received audible comments ridiculing mask use, which was accompanied by laughter from bar staff and other patrons. Absolutely pathetic from all involved. These quiet comments continued throughout the remainder of the unfortunately stay. We used to frequent the pub on a semi regular basis, been to numerous charity events at the pub too; but this behaviour is inexcusable. We will be telling others how much of a dive this pub has taken, and clearly where their moronic (Facebook research) views lie.

Nice looking pub, miserable landlord. Acts like he doesn't really want customers. It makes you wonder what first attracted him to working with the public. Best avoided!

Popped in for a drink. Landlord/bartender very rude - almost like he didn't want us there. We won't be back. Much friendlier places to go to.

Won’t be back here rip off for drinks!!! Pint carlsberg Pint ale Sml lime and soda £12.85 I know it’s got to pay it’s bill but honestly!!! Must be because it’s got a real firs going

Small traditional pub with real open fire selling a range of real ales and other lagers and ciders. Very cosy in the winter.

What a great pub this is, the landlord is brilliant and welcoming, bar staff are great and friendly, great beer garden, The beer choise is great,well worth a visit Knobs keep out

I came into this pub for a quick drink before moving on, it has the strangest landlord I have ever seen running a pub constantly swearing this rude man really loved the sound of his own voice. He then proceeded to break wind & stink his own pub out walking round the place saying "That's a good one I haven't done one as good as that for ages" I could not believe what I was seeing & hearing he must of been nearly 70 & acting like a delinquent child, The music was on the jukebox & he proceeded to spin round & round telling everyone that this was "Northern soul dancing" more likely an excuse to break wind again & spread it about the pub even quicker, his staff seemed a bit embarrassed by him & I felt sorry for them. A strange man indeed, the good points were that the beer was good the place was clean & the staff were polite & friendly & I would of given this place 4 stars if it wasn't for the person running it. I left & headed off to somewhere normal.

A no-theme pub with 3 interlinked bars that attracts a mature (but not Geriatric!) friendly clientele, serving up to 5 real ales on handpump, plus the usual suspects on tap. Prices very reasonable when compared to many Real Ale pubs, (up until recently it was possible to get a pint for under £3!) but all beers are not overpriced. Conversation is the main form of entertainment and there is a bring-and-borrow library. Garden/seating area outside where it would be recommended kids sit, the pub can get VERY popular and consequently short on room, but this is also the smoking area, so be aware. .Mind you head too, there are a few beams to watch, especially coming in. Immaculately clean, modern toilets too. Stop for a pint or two!

This pub doesn’t do food anymore but the beer and price is excellent . Good parking but don’t use the car park at the back use the one over the road and it free after 6 pm

Cool old pub... it is really a no frill kind of place, but the beers are good and the locals have really good stories to tell... the service is relaxed and nobody seems to be in a hurry, the way it is suppose to be... if you are more than 5f10i tall be very very careful... there is a garden in the back...

A very rude landlord. Simply pulling a pint seemed too much trouble. He was quite happy with his very foul-mouthed regulars were sounding off about something however. Some of the worst language I've heard in a pub. Worse sin of all, didn't even fill the glasses! The most aggressive and unpleasant pub atmosphere I have encountered in a very long time. I drank up and left pronto and will not return. Claims to be a CAMRA pub, usually a good guide for quality, are standards that low in Cambs?

popped along to this traditional English pub for a quick pint before heading home, a good selection of real ales available inc Ghost Ship one of my favourites, no food this time but have in past & like the beer it is of a good quality. If you are tall watch your head!

This place is a good old fashion English pub. Great selection of booze, staff are great and it's a very warm and cosy pub.

Had a quick pint with my oppo on a Sunday lunch time. Just an excellent pub, or town boozer as they used to be. Service great, beer, clean and professionally served. No food, just a straight forward town pub. ... Excellent

Dog friendly, lovely old tyme pub with low ceilings and wood finish, friendly staff, great find , lovely pint and atmosphere

Visited Ye Olde Sun a couple of afternoons whilst staying in the area.

A friend & I decided to visit for a few pints on Saturday. I'd not seen their guest ale on tap before so politely asked to try a sip. "It's a mild" replied the barmaid with a blank expression, then a couple of seconds later "Do you still want to try it?", almost as if I was really putting her out with this request. Yes please - because just telling me "it's a mild" means nothing to me. The reason I'd like to try it is to ascertain exactly what it tastes like, not just rely on your vague description and hope for the best - another reason being to see how well it's been kept, as some pubs unfortunately don't keep their beers well so it's sensible & completely acceptable to politely request a sip, as is the custom at pubs across the nation. I could understand a younger bartender not realising this but not a mature one as was this surly lady. So we left after one pint and certainly won't be back in a hurry if that's the kind of ignorant & discourteous service on offer. Stick it.

Went in for a quick drink with my partner and my 81 year old mother. I have visited this pub albeit infrequently, since I attended the local sixth form some 42 years ago. There was only one customer there chatting with two members of staff. During our brief visit we had to listen to a lengthy moan about how it wasn't worth 'doing food' since they only got old people in who want a proper meal for not much money and there's no profit in it. This conversation was liberally punctuated with expletives.

We wer recommended to this pub, and its reviews online looked good too, so we went there on our first evening in St Neots, only to find a board outside saying evening meals only Tuesday to Saturday. This was a Monday! Disappointed, we went away and came back again the next night, only to find the board had disappeared and the owner telling us they'd stopped doing evening meals because there were so many fast food outlets nearby!

Good local pub with good stock of beers. Felsted very much a locals pub in the evening rather than one for visitors which is a shame as it could pull in a lot of trade with different focus. I like it though.

Good food, good prices, good staff, dog friendly. Nice range of decent beer. Just a blooming good traditional pub. We have been to this pub twice over two years of visiting St Neots and each time they have made us and our dog very welcome.

With more and more pubs closing it's great to know there are pubs like this around still.

What a lovely, friendly place to eat. We booked for a family party on 23rd December and the staff were very helpful with special dietary requirements.

An old pub serving real ale and excellent reasonably priced food. Supported by local clientele. Car park (payment necesary) to rear. Bar staff very friendly and willing to offer help and advice.

If I tell everyone about the Olde Sun it will get busy and us locals will not be able to get near the place but it's so good I NEED to tell everyone cos they deserve it.

We were looking for something to eat, but didnt want to pay the extortionate prices of "chain" restaurants, and we happened upon Ye Olde Sun in St Neots. Very reasonable prices and fantastic food. My daughter's half a chicken was the size of a goose and my gammon took up half the plate. My mum had enough ham with her ham, egg and chips to feed a small army and my eldest daughter had a huge burger with lashings of cheese and burger sauce.

Friends booked here for a party of 14 on a Saturday night . The chef went out of his way to create a menu for us and allowed us to order on the night rather than preorder ,which he'd of preferred . Fantastic food decent portions and the best nut roast I've ever tasted JUST WOW

Called in for a few pints, read the menu and decided to make sure I ate there prior to returning home.
