The best restaurants in Barton South Cambridgeshire East of England

Cracking little country pub with great locals

Six of us, old school friends going back over seventy years, meet here for lunch at this delightful venue every six months. During our last visit on 8th October, we all enjoyed an excellent lunch served up in generous quantities. The staff were very attentive and looked after us very well, with a special mention for Rachel who really knows what customer service is all about. Needless to say, we are all looking forward to our next reunion lunch at The Three Horseshoes in Madingley.

What a delightful little gem of a place with super friendly staff, with wonderful freshly cooked food served in generous quantities. Very good value all round! We look forward to returning again soon.

Visited for a birthday event with 30 people. The staff were phenomenal and that was only matched by the quality of the food which was exceptional given the size of the group. Can’t recommend highly enough to anyone looking for super friendly, high quality dining and drinks in Cambridge. A massive thanks to all of the team including Pasque / Max and William ❤️

We stayed over for the night. Extremely helpful and accommodating. We had a Sunday roast too. Highly recommended. Loved the fireplace creating a lovely atmosphere. Nice people. Nice food.

I can’t comment on food as we didn’t stay long enough to try it. But the beer was awful. No lemonade so I couldn’t have a shandy and the extension at the back was full of plastic flowers and greenery. It reminded me of a garden centre cafe. We didn’t finish our beer as it was so bad and went to the red lion next door which was so much nicer.

Best fruit scones I have had. Superb.

We stopped on the off chance as we travelled to Cambridge. Decided to stay for lunch. Lovely Thai themed lunch, friendly atmosphere, clean facilities. Reasonable price for fresh cooked beautifully presented food. If we lived nearby we would definitely be back.

Visited the Plough for our work Xmas lunch! Wow. Amazing food and amazing service. Nothing was too much trouble. Can’t wait to visit again ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Lovely selection of things to look at and purchase. Great tea room

Gets very busy in the warmer months. It’s a very cute tea garden. Good selection of cakes, pastries and sandwiches. Not far from the Granchester Meadows :)

Popped in for quiet drink at 5pm. Still surprisingly busy but unfortunately a very screamy child who went up and down with a grandparent in the area making an unnecessary noise. When then they went to leave I might have said rather audibly thank goodness they are leaving . At which point they became extremely vitriolic abut my comments. Also they took a photograph which is against privacy laws . We were told told owing to a complaint against us we had to leave leave immediately. We wanted to register a complaint against them that we were denied,

Great service, friendly and accommodating. Lovely food, both choice and taste. Dogs welcome. Clean. Parking. Great outdoor play frame for children.

This cafe used to be a favourite of mine for lunch with friends. Today it was a total disappointment. The menu offerings were poor. The burgers we ordered were described as being in brioche bread. They were in common white bread burger buns. My prawn sandwich with crisps was in very thick white bread, no butter and far too much corse ground black pepper in the shrimps masquerading as prawns. The crisps were actually tortilla chips which I dislike. I was not offered the choice to have or not have butter. I am careful how much bread I eat and could not eat this thick bread. The burgers my husband and friend had were also over seasoned with black pepper. Sorry we will not be lunching there again. Everything looked over cooked. Even the scones looked overcooked and unappetising. The lady taking orders looked so miserable, was not at all friendly. She dumped cutlery and glass on the counter. I was only given a fork to eat the salad on my plate. It was very expensive with my sandwich priced at £9.50. The burgers @ £14.50 each. Lunch for two with a coffee and Coke drink was over £35. No reduction offered when the staff were made aware of how awful it was.
