Many English cathedrals have refectories which are great spots for lunch. Ely has both the…read moreRefectory and the Almonry, of which I think the Almonry is by far the superior in both food and ambience. I had a Stilton ploughman's lunch followed by a Fenland Sticky Cake to which I added some clotted cream. I must say that I liked the Fenland Sticky Cake enough just to go back another day to remind myself what it was like and yes, I still liked it as much the second time. I even got more clotted cream second time round than first!

Set within the historic grounds of Ely Cathedral, the Almonry Restaurant & Tea Rooms are…read morebeautifully situated looking out upon a garden full of flowers and overlooked by the Catherdral itself. You can sit inside or outside, either way you will see the scenic backdrop surrounding this quaint place. Whether you choose to sit in the restaurant or the tea room makes no difference as the menu is the same. The menu consists of sandwiches, jacket potatoes, Ciabattas, platters, deserts and, of course, an English cream tea. Even sitting here with a pot of tea is peaceful and relaxed and, often, as you sit and sip away you will hear the friendly ducks waddling about. This truly is a hidden gem.

The team rooms serve tea cakes, cakes, toasties, sandwiches, filled baguettes, a soup of the day and baked potatoes. Service was very friendly and a little slow to start, but the food was worth waiting for: generous portions and good quality. My baked potato came with a side salad (a bit more than a generous garnish) and plenty of cheese and baked beans, as well as three spare pats of butter (which I didn't need, as there was plenty of filling). Filled baguettes were similarly good, served with corn chips as well as salad. The brie and bacon baguettes had lovely smoked and freshly fried bacon. Somewhere we'll return to.

BUT the fact that the cutlery and crockery were utilitarian and old, the table cloth was on upside down and there was no adornment or additions to the table like flowers, were a disappointment. Our original table was set up outside but due to the wind and chilly weather we asked to be moved inside. The tea room was disappointing. An unused bar, clutter of unused items, and plants in need of some tlc added to the disappointment. Flowers on the tables and music would have gone a long way to improve the ambience of what should have been a special experience for £40 a person. Finally , the bathrooms need an upgrade. Shabby and not too clean.
