We…read morewaited about 45 minutes for a table and another 45 minutes for the food but overall the experience was good. Huge winners were the XLB and the noodles with ground pork. The dumplings were well made and filled with tasty broth. The noodles were chewy with rich and flavorful sauce. The fried dumplings were also a hit and with the small up charge for the crispy crust. The vegetarian options were less of a hit with the dumplings a bit starchy and bland. The noodles had nice fresh veg and their perfect noodles but once again came in a little bland. Service was friendly and the atmosphere is like eating in a friends kitchen who also happens to be a Michelin star chef. Prices are reasonable and quantity is robust. I would definitely put this on your list when visiting Cambridge but maybe leave the vegetarians at home.

Ask for the 27 without bones (best in my opinion) and get it to eat in. You can eat on one of their chairs or tell the girl behind the counter that you will eat outside and sit on the steps of the church across the street. You can also add some extra spice with the chilli sauce they have in a jar on the counter. This place is a must if you want great affordable chinese food in Cambridge.

Food: 3.5/5 Service: 1/5…read more Food was fine, authentic enough by Chinese standards. Service was awful. Sure, (authentic) Chinese places tend to have not-so-great service (with exceptions), but this place really takes the cake for bad service. We had a lot of trouble trying to find a waiter or waitress, and they weren't very attentive / easy to grab a hold of. They charge per person for the tea here (you don't pay per pot, but rather per cup). My friend wanted to change a cup because it was dirty and had tea stains. The rest of us wanted tap water, and we asked accordingly. We got a waitress to change the tea cup, and when she took the dirty cup / was getting a new cup for my friend, the owner/manager came over and started yelling at us about how the tea is only per person and cannot be shared, etc. I guess he thought we were going to try to use our water cups and pour tea into them, or something like that. We were all taken aback - we didn't want to try to get some free tea, we just wanted water and a clean cup for my friend. We have no idea why the owner guy came over and started yelling at us, but it was rather embarrassing, too. I wouldn't go back to eat there. The food was fine, but not good enough to outweigh the terrible service.

Don't get me wrong, it's certainly not *bad* - they have a great selection, and everything I tried…read moreis well cooked, well seasoned, and pretty authentic. The only problem is that it's just not as good as Seven Days, which is less than fifty yards up the road. The restaurent layout helps it keep fairly quiet and pleasant even when it's very crowded, but conversely, it does mean it can take a very long time to flag down a waiter.

I love the Geldart and I visited several times on my last trip to Cambridge. If you are searching…read morefor the perfect spot to try exotic meat on a hot rock, search no more, the Geldart delivers. They generally have kangaroo and crocodile in stock, but the also have a revolving selection of other meats that includes springbok, blesbok, wildebeast, etc. They also have a great selection of ales on tap and a huge wine list. They also have outdoor seating for when the weather is nice. This is one of the best pubs that I visited for food and I will be returning on my next trip to the UK.

This is the best pub this side of the Kingston Arms and the Cambridge Blue…read more The monthly hog roast is a delightful affair. The guest ales are always good. The live music varies from okay to super. The wi-fi is free, and they sell cookies from a jar. Winner. The "hot rocks" are great fun, and have facilitated my posting onto Facebook such updates as "mat is now eating reindeer, poor rudolph", "mat had not heard of blesbok before, but is now apparently eating it", "mat is eating springbok, previously thought this was a type of running shoe", "mat cannot believe he is eating zebra, is this even legal?" etc. The fish and chips? Could this possibly be the very best melt-in-the-mouth battered fish in the whole of Cambridge? (Okay, probably not - but it's definitely up there with the best, and comes highly recommended!) The ambience and decor in the bar area is lovely: a toasty fire in winter, gorgeous sunlight in summer. It looks like something out of the 1920s. The music policy is gentle and centres around latin, big band, and vocal jazz. Service is consistently brilliant. The main dining area can get unpleasantly noisy in the evenings, and seems to attract the loudest groups of people ever. That's the problem with great places: they are so good they attract big groups of people. I am very lucky to have this wonderful pub in spitting distance from my partner's diggs in Cambridge and I'm always excited to go there for a quick wee dram at the end of an evening or a summer's lunch or a dinner out. Elvis, the manager, is hospitable, and one gets the impression he hasn't slept nor taken any time off work for the last 5 years. He's there constantly and it shows from the fact the service and food standards are consistently high. A true gem.
