Reviews in Huntingdon

Visited with 3 friends for the 1st time on the 7th October for lunch. I loved the cosy atmosphere and the service was good. However the food was really disappointing so it did not live up to our expectations. We all had different meals but we ended up leaving a lot of food on our plates and yet this was not queried by the waitress when we were paying the bill. In fact the best part was the lovely bread and butter. This was a real shame as we were hoping that we had found a little gem not too far away.

We love the location and were able to sit outside in the autumn sun. The food was very good, well cooked and very tasty - the cheese fritters were a fantastic surprise. Overall excellent and cannot wait to return again

Delicious as usual. My dining partner is quite traditional in his menu choices but really enjoyed something new and refreshing. The lunch menu - 2 courses for £20 is exceptionally good value See you again soon

A very pleasant evening with good service by polite and helpful staff . Good well cooked food . An excellent wine list .

Sad to say we were very underwhelmed!!! We arrived and were taken straight to our table. We had to ask for a wine list/drinks menu, we waited 20mins with no one coming back to our table to take our drinks order. We ended up having to go to the bar to ask for someone to come to our table so we could order drinks. The waitress didn’t know what beer was available and had to go and ask. We asked what the gravy was being served with one of the starters, she said she didn’t know probably just normal gravy but she could check. We asked about one of the mains and she didn’t know so she got what we presume was the manager to come and talk to us. We wanted to ask about other elements of dishes in order to help us to decided what to have, but decided it was a bad idea knowing she would have to go and ask someone else as she didn’t have the knowledge. Food was nice but average, didn’t feel like a treat. We had asked for a side to go with one of the main meal dishes which didn’t arrive with the meal. Our main course was served to us by another waitress who hadn’t taken our original order, so she went to check what was written down, she did eventually bring it to us and apologised for the mix up. We didn’t bother with desserts as nothing grabbed our attention. At no point did anyone ask if we needed more drinks etc or an after dinner coffee. We asked for the bill which took about 20minutes to arrive with our rather nervous looking waitress. She was sweet, and no discredit to her, but clearly she needed a more detailed brief about what she was serving and how to engage with customers. Agreed we all have to start somewhere but please give her more support as it was evident she was very uncomfortable not just with us but when we saw her interacting with other diners too. We left and no one even acknowledged us leaving, which is poor show when we had just spent £100 plus a 10% tip. (We chose to still tip the waitress as we didn’t feel it was kind to not tip her when it was evident she needed more training, it wasn’t because she wasn’t willing). As we left we all we heard was several of the staff behind the bar talking about what tips they were getting, not a great thing to be hearing anytime let alone when no one even took the time to acknowledge us walking through the restaurant, and bar before we got to the door to leave. No one said goodbye. All in all we came away feeling disappointed and won’t be returning. A total shame as we did have high expectations.

Brilliant place to eat and drink. Great fresh food properly cooked, good beers and great staff

Excellent meal with friendly service. Recommend a visit.

5 star!

I booked two tables. The restaurant was very accommodating and flexible as I kept changing date and number of people. Service was excellent and efficient. Food was very good and well presented. Vast parking available. Highly recommned.

What a hidden gem. The Pheasant was recommended to us and we were not disappointed. Lovely old pub with a recent restoration. Friendly staff, fabulous food and we especially enjoyed choosing wine from their expensive list. We will be going again.

Very very disappointed waited 20 minutes no one came to take even a drinks order. Not even l will be with you in a while from the waiting staff. Then we left and there was no staff to tell we were leaving. Poor service. Wish this review could have been better.

Lovely family meal for a special occasion.

Had not been to The Pheasant for some years and found the service and the food very good. A very enjoyable evening. On a minor point, it would help if the dinner knives could be sharper. I had partridge and had to tear the meat apart rather than cut it . A minor point but I hope helpful. We would certainly eat there again.

We dined n a Saturday night and received the highest levels of service and quality that you could wish for. The staff were very friendly and helpful and the standard of the food second to none. Wine was fantastic too! Of particular note were the Cheese Fritters, Smoked Haddock Pot, Chicken and Leek Mousse and Indian Spiced Fish Pie. The steaks were cooked to perfection for all orders and superbly tender with sides seamlessly swapped to suit individual tastes. Can't recommend this place highly enough. Only thing tht would make it better would be rooms so that we can all enjoy the wine!

Excellent Sunday lunch. Really good value and delicious!

Enjoyed an exceptional lunch ,on our way to the Duxford air show. The set meal was great value for money with a delicious variety from the average pub meals usually presented.Bread and bottled water were promptly offered. Staff were welcoming and efficient.Will certainly book again when next in the area.

We were a group of four and enjoyed a superb meal on a Friday lunchtime. All the dishes were of a very high standard and the service was attentive without being intrusive. Having been delayed by an accident on the A14 the staff were understanding and patient. At no time did we feel rushed. A long and very pleasant lunch. We will definitely return.

Our 4th visit to the Pheasant and once again did not disappoint. The quality of the food is exceptional, the staff are attentive and knowledgeable. We live some distance and we'll worth the drive. 5*
