The best restaurants in Ely East East Cambridgeshire East of England

This is a dog friendly cafe that services excellent homemade food at very reasonable prices with great service. Great soup, quiche, scones and homemade sausage rolls.

We had a really good evening together celebrating an 80th birthday. all of us want to come back to Old Hall for another experience. Some ideas that would make the evening even better.... a menu without the prices so that we could identify each of the delicacies..... something to deal with the flies..{a minor irritation}... a method of attracting someone to attend the bar when we needed it. These did not spoil our evening but would have made it even better. Grazing

FABULOUS! We were visiting Ely for the first time and getting a bit peckish! Walked through the market and stumbled across this place. Outside seating was full so we asked for takeaway. The young man serving was polite and welcoming. We ordered two bagels - Nordic and The pastrami one (whose name I’ve forgotten). They came beautifully presented in Eco friendly boxes with compostable cutlery etc, fresh and delicious garnish of salad plus a few crisps. I work in hospitality, often judging chefs, and these guys are awesome. The ingredients were of high quality and a simple Bagel was delivered with perfection! THANK YOU 🙏

The food is really, really tasty and the service is excellent, they are sooooo nice!!! Love this place, you should all go at least once a week!!!!

We stayed with friends at the Old Hall for the New Year’s Eve Gala & every element of our visit was exceptional. Our rooms were stylish & very comfortable. The Gala event was glamorous, fun & the dinner was delicious. All the staff were attentive, efficient, friendly & their attention to detail first class. Our only wish would be for the package to include a 2 night stay as we really didn’t want to leave such luxury so soon. Thank you Old Hall for an amazing night & a Happy New Year to you all!

A huge and ever changing selection of beers and ciders. Nice and cosy, and very friendly staff. This must be the best pub in the UK!

Love this place, huge selection of craft beer & service with a smile.

lovely food. always 10/10- the best food in ely!

It's a really nice place, The waiters are lovely and really make you laugh. The food was amazing, and served really quickly.

Very enjoyable Sunday afternoon meal in this chic eaterie. Good menu with lots of variety and vegetarian choices, shame some dishes not available on a Sunday. We were told one of the meals was mild but it was so spicy sister in law couldn't eat it, resolved by the staff with no fuss at the time. Pil pil prawns were so good! Like most places now it is expensive and drinks really push the bill up but for a one off as a celebration it was nice.

What a gem. You must visit Peacocks in Ely. It have a wonderful host. He make me very welcome and a pleasure to meet. I will certainly be back.

Always great service staff and food

Always welcoming, fabulous food, great service and comfortable surroundings. We also often have take away delivered from here…delicious!

This lovely tea room has indoor seating but also has seats outdoors at the back looking onto the cathedral. The staff were super friendly and accommodating. Our food was freshly prepared and tasty. Would definitely go back.

What a gem; this place is amazing as are the super staff. Beer drinkers heaven with well over 100 to chose from in bottles and cans plus some great draught beers. Come here every year around my birthday and never fail to be made very welcome. Heartily recommend paying this place a visit and its only 150m from Ely Cathedral.
