   An extremely enjoyable evening's dining in very pleasant surroundings, enhanced right from the start with a complementary glass of very good prosecco. At all times the service - never intrusive - was polite and friendly. We chose only two courses, main and dessert + coffees. Each of these was perfectly prepared and presented - most of all, delicious. The main courses, quite ambitious and imaginative, were very tasty and enjoyable - finished to the very last morsel! Overall, a most delightful experience. Highly recommended and we intend returning soon.

   I had Sunday lunch with my son and his wife. I could not fault it in any way and found it very good value considering the quality of food and service and comfortable surroundings.

   Ely’s most relaxed and consistently good venue for drinks and fine dining, but it’s the service that makes it stand out - you always feel comfortable and valued as a customer and nothing is too much trouble. The team is outstanding, thx

   I came here for their Sunday roast. We arrived early and had some drinks in the seating area near the bar. Very comfortable, all the bar staff were extremely nice and the view is not the garden was lovely. When we ate, we chose to eat outside. The food itself was delicious, and specially the beef. Atmosphere (warm sunny day) was perfect, tables are not too close to each other. Again, the wait staff were very friendly and apologised for any waiting (I think they were short staffed that day). Overall, I’d recommend and would come back again.

    Returned for another lunch with friends. Good choices - something for everyone on the set lunch menu. Ate a leisurely meal in the lovely walled garden enjoying the late summer weather. Excellent service.
