Fordham – Eating & Drinking – Pubs & Bars – Pubs
We just moved to the area and whilst on a drive to Cambridge saw this place and thought we’d give it a go.
It has traditional opening hours and even though is part of a brewery chain, still feels locally run and independent.
The draw for us with the Sunday Carvery which didn’t disappoint. We booked as we were not sure how busy they got and was glad we did. They weren’t packed but were busy enough. I think larger groups should book in advance.
The standard menu has a good variety and those who ordered from it enjoyed what they had.
The roast was a selection of Beef or Turkey and both were cooked very well. There was the usual selection of vegetables on offer which meant you could fill your plate and fill up quite quickly!
We managed to wolf down our roast dinner very quickly and managed room for traditional desserts such as Lemon Meringue and Spotted Dick.
The service was very friendly and the cost was very good too for the standard of food available.
My only criticism is that the food was not pipping hot. I know that’s difficult with carvery as everything sits around under heat lamps but maybe they could make the food just a shade hotter.
It’s a minor criticism though as we had a lovely lunch.
A nice pub with a friendly atmosphere. Nice to visit if you’re in the area.
