Five Miles From Anywhere

Frustrating and very disappointed on our day trip to No Hurry in…read more Arrived there at 13:00 with our person supported 2x wheelchair user . Serving food only at the garden which is great because its sunny. Found a bench we can seat on. GOT IGNORED multiple times and no signs for what to do when you want order. After 20 mins seating and looking like a thwat we manage to ask where can we order. She told us that they are not taking orders for the next 30 mins, then proceed to walk away no explanation after that. Sooooo rude!!!! Eventually we catch the attention of one of the young waitress, ordered drinks and she kindly explained why can't we order food. She said to wait for 15 mins then hand us the menu upon my colleague request. After waiting for 1hr and 30mins and finishing our drinks we decided to just leave. Felt ignore, discriminate at and very hungry. Within the times we were waiting new costumers coming in and staff are accomodating them, asking for their orders and bring out FOOD. We visit and eat here a lot before the pandemic start because of the scenery,food and staff accomodating dietary needs. This might be the very last day that i will take our person supported.

After deciding to drive around until stumbling on a random country pub, we found this hidden place…read moreappropriately named "Five Miles From Anywhere". The pub is really cosy, the staff welcoming and friendly (very important) and the food was excellent - will definitely be stumbling upon this delightfully hidden establishment again!

The Old Ferry Boat Inn was a lovely place to stay. My daughter and I enjoyed the atmosphere very…read moremuch. We were able to check in after hours and had a very nice breakfast and conversation with our host. Very scenic and delightful! I would most definitely recommend!

Okay, so my Ferry Boat review deserves another update, I think…read more We've been there twice again in the last couple of months and, on both occasions, the experience was a marked improvement on what'd gone on before: we put it down to new management. The Ferry Boat enjoys a lovely setting - quite remote really in the hamlet of Holywell, itself within the lovely Fenland countryside right next to the River Great Ouse. (Activities on the river no doubt giving the pub its name, and the reason for its very existance, I'd guess). The pub was as popular as last time - we had trouble finding a table - but unlike on previous occasions there was No queueing to order and The meal was brought to us in a decent time. Unfortunately we didn't spot the separate Midweek Specials menu until we were leaving (why wasn't there one on every table?) but it seems that they were trying hard to offer a good variety. That said, rice dishes seem very out-of fashion anywhere at the moment, and the only pasta dish was vegetarian (not that THAT matters to me, but worth noting.) On a positive note, they have installed another pump to offer a guest ale - a good pub is notable by the variety of ales on offer, as far as I'm concerned. And, on both recent visits, the staff were concerned to court our opinion - both in asking us how our meal was (fairly standard, I know) but also asking us to go online and fill out a survey. That's got to be a good sign of a will to improve, So yeah. The Ferry Boat Inn is on the way up, for us. We'll be back again soon.

I've been remiss in not submitting a review of our experience at the Cutter Inn sooner... The…read morebottom line, it was an excellent experience! 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!

It happens to all of us. You miss the train and suddenly you have an hour to kill in a station…read morethat isn't very warm or hospitable (as Ely's is). 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.
