Absolute gem of a pub. Doesn’t look like much from the outside but my goodness the interior and food will knock your socks off!! The pork ribeye might just change your life.

First time I've visited here since a big make over a few years ago now. Situated on the High Street of picturesque Cambridge village Histon I would firmly say this is worth a visit. Cambridge has a thriving food scene and I'd add this to the mix as well.With a warm friendly welcome we were seated in a stone archway at the back of the restaurant looking out onto a bright airy oak beamed dining area splashes of green throughout- loved it.We hadn't booked and missed the Sunday lunch menu but didn't leave disappointed. Slow cooked short rib beef was sublime and the wife was equally impressed with the lamb roulade. Soufflé for dessert was melt in the mouth perfection.The service team we busy buzzing around recovering from the earlier lunch and preparing for the next round of punters - there was a steady stream - adding a great atmosphere to a wonderful setting.A must visit if your in Histon and well worth the short journey out of Cambridge.Thanks for the fabulous food and experience we will be back.

We took advantage of the Come Dine With Your Furry Friend offer and nobody was disappointed!!! The food was great, as was the service. My only very minor quibble is that the portion of bread that came with the mussels main course was not adequate and I would have preferred softer slices to soak up all the lovely sauce. But other than that, very glad we visited and we will definitely be returning

Incredibly disappointing. Having been here a few years ago and raved about the pistachio soufflé ever since, our visit today was pretty terrible. Booked online but then showed up and there was no reservation. The hostess was not apologetic or really accommodating, but not rude about it either. Not a big deal, but not exactly great. Sat in the garden and ordered from the bar menu as that was the only option.Ordered at the bar and it took 15 mins to get the order in. There was no queue, the person just kept getting it wrong. Two burgers with bacon and cheese, two beers and a kids meal. Not very complex. We were warned that the burgers were cooked medium-rare, fine for me.The burgers arrived and were burned on the outside, cooked through entirely and incredibly dry. Actually difficult to eat the whole thing given how dry it was. The bacon, which cost £2, was a small, single slice of streaky bacon, also burned. That’s the cost of an entire pack of bacon. Great profit margin item for the pub I guess. One of the most disappointing pub burgers I’ve ever had, and surprising from a place with Raymond Blanc’s name attached. The kid’s meal pasta looked pretty anaemic, and we had to ask for the vegetables it comes with as they were missing. Had to ask twice for the ice cream with the kid’s meal, and then it finally showed up.All this cost just shy of £70.On this showing, I won’t be returning, unless it’s just for the pistachio soufflé, assuming that is still up to par.

Great lunch here. Started with burrata (delicious) followed by lamb roulade and marmalade treacle sponge (excellent). Was too hungry to get pics of the starter and dessert. Service was excellent and spaced out well. Will be back.

I was left disappointed with the Beef sunday roast. For £20 I expect something superior and whilst the bottomless element sounds good it essentially means you are given a small portion to begin with and need to ask for more when ready. The beef was delicious though, the place itself is nicely decorated and the staff are friendly enough.

Mind blowing food and a great price .The staff were fantastic the gentleman serving us (I figured he was in charge ?) was great happy to accommodate all our needs polite and as with all the staff professional in every move .The food as in the pictures was well presented portion size ample and the flavours were all able to be identified and enjoyed.The restaurant and the bar areas were clean and looked brilliant ,well worth a visit we were fortunate to get a very busy an sought place and will be back to try the Sunday Roast well done to all 10/10
