Very finely cooked dishes, we mainly had sharing plates and the raw scallops were to die for. Young waitress Bea was superb, great advice and so attentive. Atmosphere could maybe have been improved with more appropriate Japanese music instead of the standard pop which at times was too noisy. Visiting Cambridge and will definitely seek out other Kibou restaurants elsewhere.

Keyston

About the restaurant

A charming village pub nestled in the heart of Spaldwick village on the unspoiled greenbelt of Cambridgeshire. This traditional, local pub offers a fresh, seasonal menu coupled with local craft beverages, all of which can be enjoyed in our rustic, country setting. Our alfresco courtyard is the perfect oasis for any passing visitor or returning local. Take in the views of the rolling hills under our pergola or sit street side as you watch the world pass by, both are perfect with a drink in hand.

Great experience. The food was outstanding and the service to match. Quality and flavoursome. A birthday team for my wife and a well chosen venue after being recommend by a colleague. The meal was substantial and flavoursome. The attention from the staff absolutely fantastic. To end the meal a slice of cake was brought to the table to the sounds of happy birthday being played through the sound system. Much to the embarrassment of my wife but a wonderful touch. Prices online for the menu however did not match those advertised on the web, this my only criticism. However outstanding value and contentment. Thank You Turkuaz and Staff.

The Red Lion Granchester is one of our fav local place. Each visit has always been a pleasure. This time we came to celebrate my Goddaughter’s Baptism day. The service (we had Sunday roast), food and ambience were great. I highly recommend The Red Lion. Friendly & efficient service, good food, good value and they are child & pet friendly.
