I’ve previously raved about this small coffee shop cum cafe but, disappointingly, I didn’t enjoy the food on our recent visit. We were a family group of five, three of whom had the tuna ciabatta melt which, they said, was very good. However, my grandson’s squash and spinach soup lacked any taste of squash (I tasted the soup) and, actually, with its very dark green colour, I didn’t think the soup looked appealing either. Spinach has such a strong taste and, if it’s being used alongside other vegetables in soup-making, the amount needs to be proportionate to the other ingredients. Unfortunately, the spinach was overpowering and totally drowned out any flavour from the squash. I ordered a home-baked, warm asparagus, spinach, tomato and cheese tart which I can only describe as dire. The pastry was soggy, so I only ate the middle of the tart and left the pastry, whilst the accompanying salad was tiny and boring beyond belief, with just a few leaves, a couple of pieces of tomato and a few bits of cucumber. The salad actually resembled nothing more than a garnish, with a bit of dressing on top, and, at £12, the meal was poor quality and even poorer value for money. The lattes were excellent and my son-in-law enjoyed his Terry’s orange flavoured hot chocolate but there wasn’t a great choice of cakes to go with our drinks so none of us bothered. In terms of the food, there doesn’t appear to be an actual kitchen, just a section within the cafe where a member of staff was preparing the orders. I’d never previously noticed before that there wasn’t a kitchen here so not sure if this is a change. However, only having a microwave and no oven would explain why I had a tart with soggy pastry! Regrettably, I can’t even say that the staff were brilliant. We were mainly served by one staff member who I can only describe as surly looking, leading me to want to repeat a childhood phrase my mum used to say when I was being grumpy, ‘if you smile, your face will crack!’. A second member of staff, though, was so different and really nice. I’d have been happy to have given some honest feedback at the time but, unfortunately, nobody asked if we’d enjoyed our meal. I can say, now though, that my meal was extremely poor and, with a bill of £65 for our group, it wasn’t cheap. Finishing on a positive note, the toilets were clean.

It's been a few years since we visited 77 in Caxton. I always remember it being very good but our experience this week was fantastic. Still the same quirky pub setting but the food was exceptional - probably some of the best Thai food I've ever had. It's strange how you get out of the habit of going places, and when you return, it's far better than you remember. We won't be leaving it so long before returning. I also noticed that they do 'take-aways' which is good to know.

Had to stay here midweek for a buisness meeting in Cambridge. Check in was not the fastest but i found the bed extremely comfortable and enjoyed the extra laundry space available. Grest service by Susan at breakfast in the morning!

Its noe 2025 and I tried again here adter a long break. Had a party for 4 and there was only one other couple in restuarant: They recently updated the decor looks a whole lot better. But alas the service was poor they brought out the wrong orders twice and the starter came after the mains, which came at different times due to the order mistakes, the food was ok but the chicken was tough. After the errors in the order, I asked for the service charge to be removed. The owner stated that the service charge was compulsory and was quite rude. Sorry if I sound a moan but when I'm spending North of £90 on a meal I do expect a bit better. And a note for the owner. A service charge is generally not compulsory in the UK, especially in restaurants. While it's often presented as a mandatory addition to the bill, customers can typically ask for it to be removed, particularly if they weren't happy with the service or food. It's considered a discretionary payment, similar to a tip, and there's no obligation to pay. WONT BE BACK !!!!

Our walking group of 21 people were well looked after for lunch on Monday - our thanks to the manager, James, and the staff. We preordered our selections 2 days earlier - popular choices were burgers, smaller portions of fish and chips, gammon steak with a fried egg and chips, and jacket potatoes with various fillings. The meals were served efficiently soon after we were seated and people were pleased with their food. This is a popular pub in Cambourne, with outside seating and plenty of parking, very near to the main shopping centre.
