The best restaurants in Cottenham South Cambridgeshire East of England

Not the spot if you're looking for specialty coffee, but I'm giving it 5 stars anyway because the ladies who work here are are so kind and friendly. They could improve by getting more freshly roasted coffee (roasted within the past two weeks), grinding it fresh, and extracting at 6 bar psi, 97°, weighing doses etc etc, but fundamentally this is a nice comfy community spot, that's the point, and it's lovely. Very relaxing and lots of good options for bacon related sandwiches. Very reasonably priced too! Warm and genuine folk.

Always lovely coffee and food. Staff is friendly too.

Love this place the people running it are amazing

Awesome Indian restaurant. Over the years I've been to many Indian reataurants in and around Cambridge. The Curry Palace is my restaurant of choice.

Went in for a drinks with friends and what a delight to go in great company in a warm and inviting pub with landlord that can make you smile definitely will be returning

I must say the standard of the pastries were above any expectations and the friendliness of the staff the same.

My wife found this pub as a stop off on our journey from Birmingham to London via A14 and M11. We had lunch which was fantastic. I had Thai green curry and my wife had the salmon tempura. Both reasonably priced. Staff were very friendly. It is out of the way, buy worth the diversion for the food.

Desafortunadamente, no tenían tocino, así que el inglés completo estaba fuera. También estaban muy ocupados y dijeron que era probable una espera de 45 minutos. No teníamos prisa, así que pedí un par de salchichas. Estos llegaron en 10 minutos (! ) que fue encantador. También tuvimos algunas galletas de pistacho que eran muy agradables, indulgente. Las bebidas eran buenas.

The Chequers at Cottenham is a true hidden gem :) a charming traditional village pub that offers a surprising and delightful twist: authentic Italian cuisine. We started with the creamy spinach, truffle oil, and wild mushroom gnocchi—a rich and indulgent dish with perfectly cooked gnocchi. The earthy flavors of the mushrooms combined with the aromatic truffle oil made this a standout. The confit duck leg was another highlight, cooked to perfection with tender, flavorful meat and crispy skin. The Hunter’s chicken delivered a comforting mix of juicy chicken smothered in a delicious sauce. The seabass was an absolute delight—crispy skin, tender flakes, and seasoned beautifully :P And let’s not forget the pizzas! The freshly made, stone-baked crust and authentic Italian toppings make them irresistible. Whether you’re a fan of classic Margherita or something more adventurous, there’s a pizza for everyone. If you're looking for a cozy spot with great vibes and amazing Italian dishes, The Chequers is definitely worth a visit!
