It is the summer, so I guess people prefer to enjoy the warmer weather near the river. We enjoyed ourselves, the food (I recommend the 10 oz burger) and the service. The price was right. A+. Next time I want to check out the garden!

Enjoyed a brilliant evening with a large group on the back deck. We sat by the river for ages and…read morespent quite a good bit of sterling, but all I remember are the good times! The service is timely, appropriate, and friendly. Atmosphere: Inviting, modern with a classic English pub decor, and unique layout. The place has a cool buzz about it, too. Restuarant side of things: More to offer than your average pub grub with some quantity and quality sized plates. We ate the standard fish n chips with mushy peas and it 'hit the spot'. I think it might've been pricier than other dishes I've had in a pub, but given the location and Cambridge itself explain the up-market prices. Bar wise: Good selection of beer, wine, spirits, and cocktail readiness. We mostly drank proseco (by the bottle) on this evening. There is not an outdoor bar area, so if you dine outside you will need to go back inside to get your drinks. What makes this place so special though is the 'easy life' it offers. Sit outside in the sun (should you be so lucky to be here in the summer and on a sunny day) and watch the people float on by in their punt boats, enjoy the views, gaze into the water and out across the river....... more or less it's peaceful, relaxing, and lovely. But in the rain or sun, there's banter to be had with your best mates!

They're very attentive & asked a few times if we need anything else. We ordered the lamb shank & the chicken schnitzel. I totally recommend them. The lamb shank was very tender and just fell off the bone. The schnitzel was good too and the sauce it was paired with. My only complain was the food took a little longer to be served.

Kirsty (manager) and her staff were outstanding and did an excellent job under a challenging request. My wife and I were in search of a pub/restaurant that could provide food for a group of 15 persons, within 24 hours, and much later at night. The reason for the short notice was another Turkish establishment in Ely, who shall remain nameless and which we will never patron ever again, canceled on us. When we reached out to Kirsty and her staff, and explained our predicament, they were very understanding and professional. They not only accommodated our group, but the food had been previously coordinated in advance and we did not have to wait long for it, and it was very delicious. I DEFINITELY RECOMMEND DINING HERE IF YOU HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY!

So you ask someone where the nearest pub is and they direct you to the Cutter. A proper old English pub with modern sensibilities. Had a decent curry, which they put together for me quickly as by the time we had gotten there (15 minute walk from the station) we only had 30 minutes there before we had to start making our way back to the station. Grabbed a pint, ate my curry somewhat leisurely, and sauntered back to the station. We really should have moved faster, as we got there 2 minutes before our train arrived and almost missed it again! :-) Next time I'm here I'll stay a bit longer, for sure.

Ciabattas on the lunch menu where at £6.50 and the "nacho crisps" are little more than a sprinkling of Kettle Chips on the side of your plate. From the 'A la Carte' Menu the meat tends to be over cooked and stringy and vegetables long since lost flavor. Service is very "as and when" but everything is done however its bit of a struggle to get there. From the look, a promising small place to drink and eat but to often it disappoints.

The lights weren't working in the back of the restaurant, but there were many signs indicating that. We came here after our day in Ely. It's within sight of the cathedral and seemed like it was right up our alley. We ended up ordering from the two meals for 8.95 menu without really planning to do so. I got the cheddar and bacon burger and my husband got the Steak and Bombardier Ale Pie. Overall, the food was okay. It was exactly what you would expect to get. The food was fresh and the fries were good. The burger was fine - nothing notable about it. The ale pie and mushy pies were okay as well. The staff is friendly here.
