The best restaurants in Barnack Peterborough East of England

Excellent training restaurant for Stamford College students. The waiters are somewhat nervous, but absolutely trying their best, so any slight faux pas should be accepted (eg our waitress forgot the bread). The food quality was of a good standard, say 7/10: mackerel pate (maybe a little firm), ox cheek (very succulent, the stand-out dish), fish and chips (excellent crispy beer batter), and rice pudding (a little bland to be honest, but tasty accompanying compote). Would certainly return, well done students and staff.

We had high hopes for the new menu and new chef at The Millstone but left disappointed. We felt the menu was limited and unadventurous. In fact we didn't fancy any of the starters so opted for bread and olives. The bread was plain sliced brown bread with a very small portion of olive oil and balsamic (we had to ask for more oil). The main courses were served with abrupt, slightly rude service on very small plain white plates (what you would expect in a school canteen), my fish was clearly too big for the plate. I had ordered fish and chips but my chips were a side of skinny fries served on the side, not quite what I expected. We then waited for 25 minutes for our plates to be cleared, by which time we had no interest in a dessert. The staff made no attempt to chat or make us feel welcome, which for our local pub should be a given.

Me and my boyfriend booked a night away in this part of London and visited this restaurant. It was beautiful, with great friendly service and yummy food. They have a proper stone oven to cook your pizza! They couldn’t be more helpful.

Slow service mediocre food, aggressive and defensive owners when told that the food was slow over hour and a half for some basic meals, take some criticism, multiple people came up to ourselves and told us the food took between 1hr 30 to 1hr 45

Good selection of meat. A little smile from staff would made a big difference

A member of our party dines here (with a group) fairy often and has positive feedback, but I think on this occasion it was not very good. The others will return but I won't because I didn't think it was good value for money. The food arrived 5 minutes after ordering, which gives the impression it wasn't cooked but rather, re-heated. The server(s) rushed it down and ran off (literally) and we had to ask them back to order a drink. The room they put us in was very loud, the children & toddlers didn't help but that's more to do with the parents than the restaurant. Food was a bit bland and the burger was not very good at all, but the chips were very nice. I think for the money, it would have been nice to have received a cooked to order meal rather than a re-heated ready meal. The lady server was kind enough to listen to our feedback and she did pass it on to the manager, who promptly charge full price, and we were not in the mood to discuss it further so no problem. Probably they could do better but with other places offering better quality, I would rather not give it a second go. Shame.

Just had Christmas afternoon tea at The Orangery. The staff were friendly the food very nice, however we were seated in the side conservatory which was cold and devoid of any kind of Christmas atmosphere or decoration. Burghley always looks lovely at Christmas I don’t understand why they can’t make more of an effort with the part of the Orangery.

After a few issues with Buyagift voucher (do not recommend them!) we booked in for afternoon tea at The Granary & it was well worth the wait. Sandwiches were delicious, the bread fresh & the ham was particularly good. We then had some savoury pieces which makes a nice addition, the best sausage roll I’ve had for years & pork pie. The scones were large & again delicious & a variety of jams to choose from. Ended up bringing the cake home as too full to eat, looking forward to having that a little later. All in all thoroughly recommend, we will be back!
