One of the best steak sandwiches I’ve had ! Soft tender bread that doesn’t cut the mouth and perfectly cook steak with that heavenly sauce, ask for it! Wish I can get the recipe! Fish sandwich is really good too. Wish to come back for a full lunch/dinner as we got the lunch meal. Lovely by the river ambiance.

Fairly a long time to wait for the food to arrive and it not being satisfactory warm.Lovely atmosphere though, busy, nice vibe and great nature views just by the river.Super friendly staff.

Fantastic food in a quaint village outside Cambridge.Scenic settings right by the river the staff make you feel very welcome when entering the Plough. Travelling on business I was looking for some good food and the whole menu is well thought out.Would highly recommend when in the area, it deserves the prices it is at.

I have been to The Plough numerous times and usually have a great meal there. This time however I did not. I ate the Fish & Chips and as the picture shows, it was very over cooked, was very dry and not enjoyable to eat. My friend however had the Sea Bass fillets and throughly enjoyed her food. The atmosphere was lovely as it was quite busy and the staff are always attentive, friendly & helpful, just on this occasion my food was not good. I should of complained at the time, but I was with a friend that has just got engaged and I did not want to ruin the atmosphere. I will definitely go back to The Plough as I hope that this is just a hiccup and look forward to eating better food next time.

First time we had be to The Plough, very big place by the river cam and plenty parking,shown to are seats, The was much on the menu for start so my wife opted out,for starts i thought i try PAN-FRIED WILD SCALLOPS*fennel, saffron velouté, risotto, green pesto,Now i like the 2 scallops but couldn't eat the fennel, saffron velouté, risotto, green pesto, i just didn't like ( nothing right with it) tried didn't like it. we both opted for the roast tro beef , chicken & pork dinners, and side cauliflower cheese,When the dinners arrived there was alot with this huge yorkshire pudding, now our reviews yorkshire puddings lovely and light and taste, roast potatoes the skins had dried so made them tough & tasteless, the meats pork we both agreed was the best all round , chicken 2nd and the beef was pretty poor my beef looked like ( a steak ) it was tasteless and chewy were my wifes beef looked as if it was cut for joint, and was little better, very small amount of greens, parsnips' ok we didn't get any crackling, and stuffing wrapped in bacon, ok bread sauce we didn't like, we like the little saucepans each of gravy and it was really tasty, cauliflower cheese looked and was cooked nice but was tasteless, we both opted for desserts but i wished i hadn't,SUMMER PAVLOVA (V)white chocolate & raspberry meringue, freshly whipped cream, blackcurrant sauce, lime, berries, I didn't like this it said freshly whipped cream ( i didn't see any ( then i thought perhaps it was inside pavlova) wrong, it was dry and couldn't eat it all, been nice for some cream that i could have added,STICKY TOFFEE PUDDING (V)honeycomb ice cream, my wife liked this, but notsure what the biscuit was about,now you have to go to counter to order your food,services there was very little, we was only asked once about my starter and that was it and i did mentions that it wasn't something i enjoyed, then when they brought our food and to take our plates when finished, we had to ask for cutlery when we received are dinners, no on came to ask us how our meals or if everything was ok, so these issues that i have mentioned in my review would have be good to have explained someone, plus i couldn't get anyones attention to ask for the cream for my PAVLOVA,we opted out of coffees but you have to queue in the same queue that you order your food and it was busy,I Would have made it 4 stars had the service staff not forgotten us,

The Plough in Fen Ditton is a popular pub that serves Sunday roast. I was really looking forward to trying it out, and I did a lot of research prior on Google searching for the best recommended restaurants serving Sunday lunches. The Plough came up with amazing reviews, so I was excited to try it out.However, I was disappointed with the quality of the food and the service after arriving at our table. We placed our order after 20 minutes, but still no drinks had arrived. It was a very warm Sunday, and I had to get the attention of a waitress to ask why our drinks hadn't been served. She apologised and said she would chase up.Finally, when the drinks did arrive, we were told that there was no ice due to them running out. So instead, we were served lukewarm drinks. When I placed my food order, one of the meals requested was a trio of meats. After initially taking our order, after 15 minutes the waitress came back and said that the trio of meat was not available.Apparently, the reason why the trio of meats wasn’t available was due to the fact they was saving the beef. In the end, we went for two adult chicken roasts and one beef. When the food finally arrived, our server, who I believe, is the manager, apologised for the wait. However, the food was really disappointing first and foremost it was cold and secondly, you could tell that it was the food from the end of the day as our roast potatoes were black & burnt.Many of the tables had glasses and plates all over them, which hadn’t been cleared unsure whether they were short of staff.A better thing would’ve been to stop taking orders, as despite the chaos, they were still taking orders which no doubt will lead to more disappointed Customers like we are.Overall, beautiful location, however, let down by service and quality of the food I.e being burnt and cold etc.We Would potentially try again, but might go at midday when they first start serving and hope for a better expierenceOverall, I was disappointed with my experience at The Plough. The food was not as good as I had hoped, and the service was not great.

The location is simply wonderful, unfortunately service and food have been very disappointing. We waited almost an hour to receive the 15pound vegetarian burger in the picture. I do understand that in the price is included the privilege to eat at such a nice location but the burger was nothing special even if the quality of the fake meat was good. The cheese was not melted and it was over all cold.Probably reducing the items in the menu would help to provide faster and better service. It's a pity because I live nearby and would have loved to be able to bring people visiting me from abroad to this location for a meal but the price and service makes this impossible.

Popped in for a drink with a mate after work.The single star is due to the state of the loos and the smell that made it right through to the bar. The toilets were worse than Corby skateparks’! The urinals look to be leaking, there are holes in the walls, the walls are covered in grease stains. The soap had run out and didn’t work properly anyway - are the staff using another loo or not washing their hands. We were sitting in the main bar, about 20-30 paces away from the loos and we’d get wafts of stale urine wafting past. I’ve drunk in plenty of rough pubs in my time, but this isn’t one of those, it’s a nice countryside pub.The state of the loos put me off eating. If the staff can’t keep the loos clean, why would I think the kitchen would be any better.Good bits - the beer was lovely. The staff were friendly. In the summer the river view is beautiful.
