Best British Restaurants in Buckden

Lovely ambiance in the bar area, because of the decor. A little chilly by the windows but that’s to be expected in an older building. Waitresses were friendly and welcoming. Good was tasty, and as we were three girls with so much to talk about, we weren’t hurried. Nice evening.

Our first trip to Ivy Cambridge and we weren’t disappointed. We arrived early and welcomed by a lovely host who showed us straight to our table, I had requested a quiet corner and that’s exactly what we got. The staff were attentive, well attired, friendly and professional, the food ( we opted for the ‘Cool Brittania’ menu ) was devine, an excellent drinks list and beautiful glassware ! The seating was very comfortable as was the temperature and it was lovely and quiet with soft background music. The washrooms were clean and the restaurant looked spotless. 5 stars, a fabulous experience that topped off our day out in Cambridge !

Had a great time at the Red lion for dinner today. Of course we had to have the roast dinner as it was a Sunday, and it did not disappoint. The roast chicken was excellent, cooked very well, and there was plenty of it. Roast potatoes and Yorkshire pudding was also excellent. Our server was very friendly and helpful.

I’ve already recommended The Oak Bistro to several people. Excellent food, very accommodating when we showed up on a busy Thursday lunchtime 45 minutes early for our reservation, having caught an earlier train. Food was exceptional. And, with the option of a Prix fixe menu, there was a decent range of prices.

We were a party of 7, including two children and a teenager, we dined at lunch time in half term. Considering that Bill's was quite full, the staff did a very good job of looking after us. I had reserved a table in advance. We were led to this on arrival. The food was good and much enjoyed. A special shout put should go to large the gluten free menu, as one of our party has a gluten intolerance. Bill's in Cambridge is a good meeting place and good value. We will be going again.
