The best restaurants in Balsham South Cambridgeshire East of England

Great boozer, friendly owners who also have lovely pet dogs. Few mates and I visited a couple of times and loved it. Friendly, good price, food looked very nice too although we didn't eat. Would definitely recommend going here if you are in the area.

Lovely local pub but doesn't serve food anymore

I find this place very relaxing. The building obviously has some history, as you might expect given the name over the door, but it has stayed true to its past life by not being overly fussy. A neatly folded serviette would be totally out of place here. Instead, it has an informal and casual feel. That said, I’m not generally a great fan of plastic table cloths, but I accept the practicality they bring. I love the way this place appears small from the outside but stretches over several rooms, indoors and out. It also doubles up as a small scale general store selling anything from kids toys to crafty items, which adds to the village feel. In all, a great asset to the local area.

Went for a meal last night which for the most part was lovely. However my friend had the beef burger in pretzel bun which was absolutely rock hard /impossible to cut or eat it . She did complain yet nothing was taken off the bill for that item.

Sunday lunch. Loads of well cooked veg and tender meat. Only criticism was the vast amount of thick (bland) gravy poured over the entire meal. Would have preferred a gravy boat so could choose how much gravy to have. Unfortunately the gravy dominated all the other flavours - other wise would have been a delicious Sunday Roast. At £20 a head I would have expected delicious (non-generic) gravy that compliments the meal. Sticky toffee pudding was to die for ! Lots of warm sticky toffee sauce and a light and delicious sponge , and some lovely vanilla ice cream ! Staff were lovely , service quick and efficient. Lovely ambience. Minor tweak with the gravy recipe / and a gravy boat and would have been top marks !

We visited this pub for a Sunday lunch for the first time today. The pub has quite nice atmosphere and the food is pretty good. The staff were very good and happy, smiley people that always helps too. Well worth a try if staying in the area.
