On a busy hot summer's day this is a brilliant place to get a taste of calm and a long cool drink. The smartly dressed bar staff can make any drink you have ever heard of and many that you have never heard of. It's not cheap as I discovered, a mandatory service charge is included. Free bar snacks was a nice touch.

I came here for afternoon tea to celebrate Mother's Day and it was excellent! There was a little bit of a wait while they found our reservation but the staff were very kind and attentive. There was a decent selection of teas to choose from and the free from menu (offering gluten free, dairy free and/or vegan) looked just as good as the regular! The portions were generous (though there could have been more cream and jam) and the servers topped up our tea several times. All of the cakes and sandwiches were really tasty!I loved that the afternoon tea was Winnie The Pooh themed and I will definitely be returning to see what seasonal menus they come up with in the future. Would definitely recommend.

The food was ok, and overpriced. The cauliflower tempura was simple and nice, but the lemon sole felt mostly like a salty fish salad.

4.5 stars. I loved my steak, it was really well seasoned; the chips and tartare sauce were also really good. However, my friend who ordered the lamb was fairly unhappy with the size of the portion, although also good in taste. The friend who ordered the risotto was fairly happy with it, although it was a starter. All in all, if you are hungry, go for a steak!

We had a very pleasant evening in Parkers Tavern listening to the jazz music as we sipped our drinks.The atmosphere is great and the service was excellent from the attentive waiters.Jazz is on from 7.30 every Friday.The bar snacks were a bit uninspiring so we only had the honey nuts!

Beautiful space. The atmosphere is elegant. The food is bland, but high tea is a very English experience. Our server was very kind, helpful and informative.

I took my friends for afternoon tea here mainly for the location and decor. It mostly met my expectations with nice food (not wow-level but seems trustworthy for future visits), decent tea selection, and friendly service.Sweet potato avocado sandwich is an interesting combination. Surprisingly savory, with a hint of curry, and beautifully smooth.Love the smoky salmon mousse and the cheese and onion quiche, which isn’t solid like egg quiche and is so creamy.The freshly baked scones are lovely. Warm, crusty on the outside, and moist inside. They are more eggy, bread-like, denser than my other favorite ones, but tastes good too. Fruit scones are slightly smaller. A nice balanced hint of cinnamon and not too sweet (only two or three pieces of raisins on the top but good enough for me).The sweet deck… a balance between aesthetics and taste. Duke of Cambridge tart is savory-sweet and quite good. The lemon drizzle cake is quite pleasant.Vegan scone tastes a little like burnt coconut/sesame/milk powder. Not bad but we were intrigued.Lapsang Souchong is really smoky. Masala Chai is delicately spiced. Rooibos Orange breakfast is very fruity. Bottomless tea is a nice plus, as the sandwiches and desserts are a little less tempting to be re-ordered.Service is warm and friendly. The decor is beautiful, but somehow the smooth jazz-ish background music doesn’t fit the ambience. Some classier jazz or classic music would work better.Overall it’s a 4.4 for me, worth the price and I’d recommend it if you have to have one in Cambridge.

Had a lovely anniversary dinner here. Had asked for a romantic table by the window and I think we got the best spot with a view of the piece and the Ferris wheel. Service was spot on and very attentive. The food was amazing! We ordered courgette tempura, Pilchard with gooseberries, lamb and an amazing steak with truffle shavings. It was all brilliant and we had an amazing memorable time. Would highly recommend!

The rib eye steak with oyster mushrooms was excellent. It came with a chimichuri sauce too.We were rather excited by the sweet shop sundae desert which included seasonal/festive jelly sweets.I did order a coffee which I think was forgotten as we waited an extremely long time fot it. This dampened my overall experience alongside a small portion of the crab starter. It was rather lacking on the crab meat I'd say. Judge for yourself by the photo...We had a very enjoyable meal overall.The service was great.Would I come back. Yes.

What an absolute gem! We visited this place in 2021 during a day trip to Cambridge. If you are ever visiting Cambridge, I highly recommend PT for an amazing lunch.Food is excellent. My favourite dishes were Winter Wiltshire truffle risotto and Salmon. They have really good meat free selection as well. Don’t forget to order triple cooked chips for the side. Staff is very friendly and courteous. Wish they had a branch in London.Highly recommended!
