The best restaurants serving British food in Ely East East Cambridgeshire East of England

Lovely old fashioned tearoom with over 30 varieties of tea . Food is excellent and reasonably priced and has daily specials. The menu is simple but the food is better for it. There is also some B&B rooms attached, plus outside seating. Dogs are allowed Overall I would recommend a visit to this little gem of a place.

sorry I won't be having a breakfast here again because i'm not keen on grease let alone loads of lard and it may put weight on the mid sectionbut everyone loves a fry up in the winter don't they

Nothing beats having a nice classic chesse sandwich in the beautiful city of Ely, not far from the riverside! Visited with family. Always come here when i come to Ely

What a gem; this place is amazing as are the super staff. Beer drinkers heaven with well over 100 to chose from in bottles and cans plus some great draught beers. Come here every year around my birthday and never fail to be made very welcome. Heartily recommend paying this place a visit and its only 150m from Ely Cathedral.

Superb fish and chips, clearly cooked in the proper dripping, taste as fantastic as the best chippie by the coast. I rate this as the best fish and chips I have had in cambridge and surrounding villages/towns.

On a warm Spring day I can think of no where better to go for lunch than The Old Fire Engine House. I hadn't been for many years, not living in the area, but I intended meeting two old and dear friends who were visiting, so Ely was the place. Still under the same ownership for 57 years, it was everything and more than I remembered. Light and airy, the tables spread nicely apart and art to purchase on all the walls.... Starters, Mains and Desserts just as good as ever, the service friendly and attentive. It's not all about stars and accolades, but excellent ingredients consistently prepared and cooked with expertise, it was a pure joy to return, I certainly won't leave it so long before my friends and I return.

Food isn’t very tasty , ordered a burger which was tiny , was about half the size of a usual 1/4 . Chips are dry and tasteless Glasses for drinks are dirty We was overcharged by £4 too Won’t return

Bar staff unattentive. Almost rude. Felt like we were interrupting their afternoon duties. Won't be visiting again

So disappointing. Sunday roast cold and greasy pork, mushy cauliflower.gravy was the best bit.
