   Despite restricted menu, the kitchen had a problem with an extractor fan, the food we had was delicious and we were all pleased with our choices. Portions of a good size. Reasonable prices. Helpful and friendly staff. We were so happy with our meal that we are going back again this week.

   Had Sunday lunch; lots of fresh veg and nicely cooked leg of lean Roast Lamb . Staff were very pleasant and service was efficient. Lovely log fire too. There was also a choice of 3 non-alcoholic wines

   Very disappointed. No soup or pie available. My burger was overcooked, dry and tasteless and we waited quite a long time although the place was nowhere near full. Sorry to say but wouldn't go back.

   Felt a bit smokey on arrival due to the large open fireplace. Staff were really friendly and the food was delicious!

   Food good, service very slow, overall experience spoilt by noisy children. Landlord apologised, a chef off due to wife having a baby, we may have been unlucky

   Table of 4 no one else in restaurant, rushed to table and to order food. Had to ask for steak knives and sauces. We asked if we could wait 5 minutes before looking at desserts menu to be told “The kitchen closes at 9pm” and again felt rushed. A lock in card game was going on in the next room and the shouting and appalling language we had to listen to while having our meal was a disgrace.

   Perfect menu, lots of choice. Reasonably priced. We are everything - a good sign. The room was too cold and it took ages for the radiator to heat up. Other than that - very good indeed.

    We booked expecting that the Maids Head might be busy (on a Friday evening) but when we arrived they were actually pretty quiet, maybe because the weather was bad. The menu choice was good, plenty of variety and enough to suit all 4 of us. Starters arrived about 15 minutes after ordering and the main courses I guess 15 minutes after we finished the starters. The food was really good, everyone said they enjoyed it. Both the starters and the mains were larger portion sizes than we expected. But we tried really hard and fisnished them. I hope to visist again next time we are near to Wicken.
