The best restaurants in East Cambridgeshire East of England

Traditional friendly real ale pub with 3 draft ales and loads of snacks. Great pint, pub dog and friendly locals.

Popped in for cup of tea after nice walk on fen. Fruit scones had just come out of oven, so seemed rude not to try them. Absolutely delicious and good cup of tea to go with it. Swallows dipping overhead and Sparrows helping out with the crumbs, a lovely peaceful stop didn’t even mind the rain!

We parked across the road, outside the church(popped into the church to explore for 15 minutes as the restaurant had not opened), opened on time at 5pm. Very friendly and engaging staff, excellent menu and we ordered takeaway although the restaurant itself looked inviting. The cuisine was so delicious. We had each ordered a main dish each and added extras to supplement and to share. Different Naan bread's also. My special biriani was so enjoyable and all dishes ordered were subtly spicy. Fantastic value for money, this was on a level par to what we are used to at our local Indian back home. Great meal whilst on vacation in Cambridgeshire.

I had a bit of time to kill before my train left so I decided to get a drink whilst I waited. On platform 1 of Ely station is Locoespresso so I ordered a green tea which is something I drink regularly. The young lady who served me was very polite and friendly and was quick to serve me. I get the impression she does not drink green tea herself as she asked me if I would like milk or sugar in my tea. Does anyone else have these in their green tea? I may be in a minority?!?

Had issues with other people drunk and being really loud

Delivery driver was unable to find our house.

Won’t be back, every time time I go in there app won’t work and they can’t even get an order right

Don’t walk.. run for the Sunday roasts!! Me and my mum were driving around for ages to find a Sunday roast and hadn’t booked but they accommodated us anyway. It was Devine and my mum being a chef too had no criticisms which is a shocker! Only thing I nearly choked when a large pineapple juice and still water was £9 though 🫣 Other than that, banging!

Friendly, helpful staff, inexpensive pub.

No longer a pub since 2021. The Lazy Otter Pub is however still famous in Cambridgeshire for its riverside location and for its bad meals and service. It was sold as it was making a loss due to serious mismanagement, awful quality food, staff that were not interested in delivering a decent service and who were totally untrained, its dirty and unhealthy facilities, and last but not least the lack of customers as a result of all the above and its unfortunate location. Access to the A10 was far too dangerous for pub goers and as a riverside pub the Lazy Otter failed as it only had two moorings, Restoring a bad reputation is one thing but increased traffic on the A10 cannot be controlled. The latter may be the reason why the pub is no longer a pub. On a beautiful summer's day, the Lazy Otter could, as a pub, have 150-200 people in the garden. Imagine these numbers trying to get onto the A10 T-junction. For safety reasons only, the Lazy Otter should never be a pub again.

Bar staff good, disco from the 90s no requests

Food is ok but the Mann just stands behind the counter ignoring you and hardly speaks English the food takes forever asked for large pepperoni And large fish kebab was given a margarita and some weird rap

Crispy crusts lots of toppings cheesy and perfecto. 10/10 customer service smiley and friendly staff Would recommended

Pool table, dart board, sky sports- Great service with friendly staff and locals -

The portion was generous and the fish was freshly fried with crispy batter - thoroughly enjoyed it. The staff was very nice and polite as well. I will definitely visit again!
