The best restaurants in East Cambridgeshire East of England

We parked across the road, outside the church(popped into the church to explore for 15 minutes as the restaurant had not opened), opened on time at 5pm. Very friendly and engaging staff, excellent menu and we ordered takeaway although the restaurant itself looked inviting. The cuisine was so delicious. We had each ordered a main dish each and added extras to supplement and to share. Different Naan bread's also. My special biriani was so enjoyable and all dishes ordered were subtly spicy. Fantastic value for money, this was on a level par to what we are used to at our local Indian back home. Great meal whilst on vacation in Cambridgeshire.

As always, the pizza is always hot and delicious. Great customer service. I must be visiting too often though, as I don't even have to ask for my pizza now, they recognise me and it''s instantly there.

I had a bit of time to kill before my train left so I decided to get a drink whilst I waited. On platform 1 of Ely station is Locoespresso so I ordered a green tea which is something I drink regularly. The young lady who served me was very polite and friendly and was quick to serve me. I get the impression she does not drink green tea herself as she asked me if I would like milk or sugar in my tea. Does anyone else have these in their green tea? I may be in a minority?!?

Had issues with other people drunk and being really loud

Fast order delivery and always clean

4 christmas dinners later, all excellent

No longer a pub since 2021. The Lazy Otter Pub is however still famous in Cambridgeshire for its riverside location and for its bad meals and service. It was sold as it was making a loss due to serious mismanagement, awful quality food, staff that were not interested in delivering a decent service and who were totally untrained, its dirty and unhealthy facilities, and last but not least the lack of customers as a result of all the above and its unfortunate location. Access to the A10 was far too dangerous for pub goers and as a riverside pub the Lazy Otter failed as it only had two moorings, Restoring a bad reputation is one thing but increased traffic on the A10 cannot be controlled. The latter may be the reason why the pub is no longer a pub. On a beautiful summer's day, the Lazy Otter could, as a pub, have 150-200 people in the garden. Imagine these numbers trying to get onto the A10 T-junction. For safety reasons only, the Lazy Otter should never be a pub again.

Bar owners are lovely. Security are incompetent (possibly new) and break a variety of SIA regulations. Venue would be a tidy 4.5 otherwise.

Terrible service. Food came late, kids meals were only just warm, so I had to microwave them! Chicken shish was stone cold as was the chicken wrap. Called to try and sort it out, was offered 20% off my next meal. When I asked if I could have 20% back now in stead as this doesn't help me feed my family tonight, I was told the manager was too busy to deal with it right now and that I needed to call back in half an hour.

Fantastic pizzas and burgers here! Portions are generous and great value for money. One experience of chips not being fully cooked but not a big deal for me.

Definitely the best fish and chips in Ely. Food is completely fresh, so expect to wait a while for it to be ready, and they cook to order. Serving sizes are good but prices for meals aren't great. If you want fish and chips in Ely - go here.

Always a nice welcome when visiting here, lovely location next to river, and lots of wild fowl in the area. Pleasure booats, Moor up next to inn, so nice to see. Food and service are excellent, and I can't remember having a bad time here. We usually visit if we are at our daughter's in East Cambridgeshire. If she asks where do we want to go for lunch, it's a good bet we come here, especially in the summer months. It's good to see that this special place survives all the changes forced upon us, and they are worth supporting and will always get my families support when we are in the area.

Best pub in Ely, and probably in the entire of Cambridgeshire. Great selection of beers, good atmosphere, friendly and helpful staff. Very good pint of Guinness

Nice little cosy pub serving excellent Thai food. Good range of drinks. Good value.

Awesome pub with great beer and even better food
