The Rupert Brooke - Cambridge

Lovely location, Grantchester is beautiful. However, since the pub has been refurbished, it’s lost its special charm. This is no longer a traditional pub, as described on their website. The food was mediocre, as the roast was okay, but the crumble was terrible. I was quite disappointed given the other raving reviews. The service was ATROCIOUS, the man who was serving us forgot parts of our order several times, wasn't concentrating so for puddings we were already eating them with cutlery and then he came and gave us more cutlery all in all I’m sorry to say, it was an average experience.

Everyone wants a soft place to fall, to relax after a stressful day. Emma and Joe go out of their way to know their customers old and new alike. Every detail is noted, even down to my preference of which wine I like. Their professionalism shines through and I really appreciate the service they give. Their high standards has meant I have always had a lovely time when I have visited. Thank you both for making it a lovely place to go.

I brought my parents to you as I am a big fan of the chestnut pubs and was confident they’d enjoy a meal there. We had a good afternoon but sadly did leave with some disappointments. The main disappointment was my dads roast beef. Sadly it was not enjoyable for him. The beef was very gristly and fatty, making it very difficult to cut. As a butcher, he knew sirloin shouldn’t have been this fatty, must have not been trimmed out, which was a massive shame. The rest of our food was okay, we had two fish and chips (although the batter was overdone) but I have to say the chorizo burger was lovely. When we made our waiter aware of the beef, he said he’ll tell the chef but we didn’t get anything back from him or any compensation, which could have made us feel a bit better. Overall I was disappointed from the meal and makes me think twice eating at one of your pubs again which again is a massive shame because I really do think your pubs are lovely. Will continue to come for drinks but probably not again for a meal. I hope to hear back from someone? Service: Dine in Meal type: Lunch Price per person: £40–50 Food: 3 Service: 4 Atmosphere: 4

My first and last experience at this restaurant was extremely disappointing. I went with friends for a meal, but we were disappointed by the quality of the food. I ordered the beef short rib, which was tough and dry due to being a fatty cut. The dish lacked sauce and the vegetables were bland, though the Dauphinois potatoes were tasty. My wife ordered a rare flat iron steak, but it arrived medium rare and was tough to chew. When we brought this up to the staff, they initially claimed we should have ordered it differently, but eventually admitted the mistake. Despite this, they were unable to find a satisfactory solution, and my wife did not eat the steak. To make matters worse, when I received the bill for £200 for four people (including 1 main dish and 1.5 drinks per person), I was still charged for the uneaten steak. Reluctantly, I paid to avoid causing a scene with our guests. I was disappointed by both the food quality and the service response to our complaint, and we will not be returning.
