The best restaurants serving British food in St Neots Eaton Socon Huntingdonshire East of England

Food was okay, service was a little slow. For the money spent the portions were a little stingy

Husband and I went for Sunday carvery. We precooked a table but believe we were seated at just an open table as the one that should have been ours had not been cleaned after prior use. No worries, it was just a table. We had said never been there before and asked what we do. Server said I will get your drinks, took the order and left us. After 15 minutes waiting for a pot of tea and soft drink, and server going past our table several times, we decided to go up to carvery as that was only option available for food that day. Stood in line and when got to carvery area the carver stuck out his hand and looked at me. I asked what I was to give him and he waved me toward the server area where our server was standing. I went over, passing the bar where our tea and soda was sitting waiting to be delivered. Asked about the carvery and he said, oh you need a ticket. Turned to computer and said.. how many? Really???? Got two tickets , went back to the line and got our food. We both got beef which was quite dry and lukewarm, as were the rest of the items. However, the gravy was very good and very hot so it saved the meal. Shortly after sitting down again the server showed up with drinks and asked if we needed anything. That was the last we saw him until we went back to server station to track him down to pay. By the way, it was no surprise that the tea water was cold. Needless to say, we won’t go back. Shame because there were some things on menu thought would be good to try during week.

Under new management since August and the young barman has put so much effort into enticing people to this lovely old Inn. Venue hire, pool tournaments, live music, poker nights and accommodation, it's a great place for a pint and to spend time with your mates!

Yes it's a retail outlet. No it's not really a discount outlet. A factory outlet suggests lots of discounted items, seconds etc. You won't get that here. You will get a factory with a standard shop and cafe with 2 small shelves of bags of 'uglies' that really aren't that reduced at all. Very disappointing. If you live locally then, hey, you have a Hotel Chocolat shop on the edge of town. Don't make a special trip here, it's not worth it.
