As an Asian I get disappointed every time I try Asian food in England. However this place is so good. The best Chinese food place I’ve ever been …. Authentic .. so good … the amount of food and super tasty food. Highly recommend
Winter walk by the river, springtime ramble around Grantchester, lazy summer stroll in the meadows... any time is a great time to stop at the Blue Ball. Bring the dog, get a seat by the fire! Recharge on hearty, homemade fare. If God is an Englishman, this may be his favourite pub. The Blue Ball is exactly how a pub should be. Genuine welcome from a genuine publican. No bookings but other newfangled type places are available but you'd probably prefer to be in the Blue Ball. Cheers :-)

Hotel is beautiful and the service is excellent. Nice location for walking. Eating at Milsoms, where they are affiliated, is a foodie. Very busy and poor service and food. Good breakfast in the room
I can’t remember a time when a pizza has been delivered without any sort of tamperproof sticker. We’ve all seen the nightmares on London news, delivery drivers nicking mix of pizza or spitting on them if there’s pork well today I got my first pizza delivered and it had no anti-tapper proof measures. The delivery driver gave me the pizza And I said oh great I’m looking forward to it, and he’s replied. It’s a nice pizza. Obviously, he taken a look from the restaurant and the guy was Surprised this was an issue. One wonders if he’s living in Cloud cuckoo land. There was something off about the pizza as well. Which was another reason why it went in the bin, like my 20 quid.. It cost nothing to buy some circular stickers like every other pizza chain and just placed the stickers over the pizza box so that if it’s been opened, the stickers will tear. Obviously this was way above the managers head.
I went here with my other half for the first time and had a lovely meal. No starters, a curry each and shared a side and naan. Not bad food and thought we will come back. That is until the bill came…
The total was £81 (I would note written in a different pen to the rest of the bill) so we just went through to check they hadn’t added anything extra on as it did seem quite dear for what we had had. All looked fine. Then we looked at the totals and did a rough count up in our head and thought it couldn’t be right. Now we don’t normally sit going through our bill when we go out to eat as you like to think you can trust it is ok. Sometimes mistakes happen but we can’t see this was a mistake. We ended up being those people who got their phones out to calculate to ensure our mental maths wasn’t failing us and sure enough it totalled £51. We added it 3 times to check. I was giving the staff the benefit of the doubt trying to see that the 5 had just looked like an 8 but it was 100% an 8. Also they had written £81.50 and the bill was in actual fact £51.15 so even the pence was wrong. My other half handed it back and just said “there is a mistake” and with no fuss the waiter took it away and brought it back to us amended to sure enough £51.15 and the waiter just said “you are right.” So all the behaviour alluded to the fact they knew they had tried it on with us. They also couldn’t thank us enough when we left.
I was presented with quite a large chocolate bar when the bill came which was quite random and could have been a distraction technique.
We got it resolved no fuss or dramas but it’s a shame as the food and atmosphere was nice but it’s not nice to know you are trying to be conned. Just makes us wonder how many other people they’ve done it to who haven’t noticed or questioned it. A 60% mark up is huge!! Sad to say we won’t be going back.
Oktoberfest was great fun- lovely atmosphere , good humoured
Food plentiful and tasty . Live music was very good
Could do with a photo booth and prop box
Ordered takeaway and there was a stone like object in the cream sauce which broke my 2 teeth. Manager said he will help cover the cost so I got them fixed but he seems to be avoiding now. Think twice before you eat from this restaurant.
Amazing service. I am celiac and I was looked after so well and attentively. Dylan, Tyrone and Megan made sure I had an amazing experience as well as making sure 100% that my dietary needs were met. I will recommend it. Food amazing.
