The best restaurants in Castle Cambridge East of England

Booked and received a warm greeting upon arrival, however disappointing to have to wait 25 minutes to be offered a drink. A further 20 minutes later, the waiter arrived to take our food order, and we had to ask him what the specials were as had not yet been told. I had the monkfish, and it was extremely overcooked and became rubbery, then difficult to get off the bone. My husband had the venison pie and mash, the latter was a minuscule amount but the pie was tasty. Overall, a nice ambience, but slow and disorganized service. The barman looked very unhappy for the entirety of his shift. I don’t particularly like service charge being added if the service isn’t up to par - it can be embarrassing for the customer to ask for it to be removed. For such a nice venue, I feel they could do so much better and hope to see this in the future.

Una tarta de fruta frangipane de crema fresca muy deliciosa, bien hecha y de alta calidad. No demasiado dulce y un buen tamaño. Tenía un americano suave pero fuerte con leche que estaba a temperatura. Lo recomiendo encarecidamente.

We had our Christmas meal at The Punter yesterday, and it was fantastic! The atmosphere was amazing, and the food was absolutely delicious. A special shoutout to the staff, especially those who waited on our table—they were so helpful and attentive throughout the meal. We couldn’t have asked for better service! Thank you for making our Christmas lunch so enjoyable. We’ll definitely be recommending to other teams, and we look forward to visiting again soon!

In the Pickerel tonight, great service, lovely staff, great fun, always a pleasure to be in there and the environment is always joyful ! 😀

Great gluten-free options! Tasty food and nice people.
