The Wine Rooms Cambridge

£26 to £40

Wine Bar

Cambridge

About the restaurant

A truly inspirational wine destination venue that has a relaxed vibe but with quality at its heart. We believe that just as wine evolves in the bottle, so should our offering, and that is reflected in our ever-changing wine list. We are a place that will evolve and bring new flavours and experiences to the heart of Cambridge.

We don’t aim to have the largest wine list, but rather focus on interesting and niche wines, fine and rare bottles, and for those hard to find gems and with our flat rate corkage, the value for money is exceptional.

Similarly our small menu hopes to bring quality at a reasonable price, so a night of food and wine matching can be a regular treat.

Our seasoned sommeliers are there to guide your journey at each turn so whether it is an intimate evening for two, or a private event for 20+ in our cellar, it should be an experience to remember. Please note that our kitchen closes at 9pm and that we are primarily a Wine Bar.

This was our second visit, we booked for 9.30 as per app only to be told on arrival that the kitchen was closed, but the server (lovely) lady told us that she could orgaise some food. We chose a nice bottle of wine and a sharing platter. The platter was heavy duty bread and cheese and meats, £25 pile of rocket, seemed poor selection accept it was not done by the chef but then paid full price… a little discount due to this would have been nice !

Unbelievable food. An amazing experience. So many flavours and intriguing combinations. It’s very very expensive but as a treat unsurpassable. Great setting, service impeccable. Thoroughly recommended

The Pheasant at Keyston

4.7

4.7 (176)

£26 to £40

Gastro Pub

Keyston

About the restaurant

The Pheasant is a traditional thatched pub restaurant nestled in the Cambridgeshire countryside at the heart of the beautiful village of Keyston located 15 miles from Huntingdon or just 4.5 miles from Raunds. Honest, fresh, and locally sourced food forms part of the modern British menu with a twist complemented by an extensive yet eclectic wine list.

What makes The Pheasant stand out is its two beautiful but very different areas inside for guests to choose from. In the relaxed yet bustling bar with an open fire, comfy chairs, and bar stools you will find a selection of real ales, cocktails, and mocktails as well as the extensive wine list and bar snacks. Alternatively, the recently redecorated bright and airy restaurant at the back of the building with views over the country garden and surrounding fields sets the scene for a romantic dinner or family or business lunch and is ever popular.

Lovely location, good food. Particularly impressed by egg free menu and a dairy free menu. These were slight variants of the main menu and my wife felt included rather than an excluded diner as is often the case. We both loved it. Will return.

The 5 of us had a lovely Sunday Roasts, the Veg option was really nice, the Vegetables on the sides were cooked to perfection and the overall portions were large, such that our 2 Teens didn't eat absolutely everything. The cauliflower wings are delicious. Staff are friendly, the atmosphere is good. It's all ages Family and Dog friendly. Well worth a visit or if local making it a regular.

Dined on Sep 1, 2024

Service: friendly, prompt and willing but very inexperienced. Cooking: generally excellent (smoked salmon starter, roast chicken and sea bass mains then cheesecake and ice cream desserts). Atmosphere: very “pubby” with no separate dining area (except outside) and no pre-allocated tables (in spite of strict pre-booking conditions). At more than £50/head (without wine) it felt expensive; reasonable for the quality of the food perhaps but a lot for the pub-like ambience.

From the warm reception we received on arrival through to the end of the meal, everything was flawless. Service was relaxed but very efficient. Although the restaurant was fairly busy, we didn’t have to wait too long for each course. The food was exceptional. Wouldn’t hesitate to return.
