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

What a gem. You must visit Peacocks in Ely. It have a wonderful host. He make me very welcome and a pleasure to meet. I will certainly be back.

This lovely tea room has indoor seating but also has seats outdoors at the back looking onto the cathedral. The staff were super friendly and accommodating. Our food was freshly prepared and tasty. Would definitely go back.

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.

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

I wish they would get on Food Hub and Deliveroo. Always polite friendly female staff, and the food is delicious, I love their large cod chunks, and their homemade fishcake is delicious, chips are always fluffy on the inside, and their battered Sausage has nice flavour. Edited: Portion sizes are smaller now, as is the size of their homemade fishcake.

Well, I’d give zero stars if I could. For what you get, you’re better off getting a microwave tv dinner which is so disappointing as we have been before and it was amazing!!! The menu is very dated, which I can see is part of the yesteryear charm, but the standard of ingredients and cooking is really poor for the price you pay. The starters had gristle and bone in them to an unreasonable level. The gravy with the beef was watery, the meat was chewy and the fish was overcooked to be too dry. I’m sure no one but forethought and planning are to blame, but the roast meat was served with boiled new potatoes as roast potatoes had run out by 7pm on a weekend. The waiter was a cheerful boy, but showed little flare for decent service, and took almost full plates back to the kitchen. No one asked how our meal was, and when we tried to speak to someone, they were all in the kitchen. I had hoped this was a random series of unfortunate events on a night without usual staff, but it appears a new normal having looked at other reviews. Such a shame for a historically lovely establishment with a beautiful location and lovely setting.

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

Our favorite pub in Ely. We have a lot of reasons to say this, number 1 is that it is the location of our first date. They are always kind, and caring. The service is great and the pub does offer our favorite cider, Aspall!

Didn't stay but had dinner. Lovely chatty hosts. There was plenty of space, not too crowded. Special combo for burger and beer was a good deal. Handy to the shops and cathedral, parking just behind. Recommended by locals too, which is always a good sign.
