Clarendon Arms - Cambridge

I’ll keep it short and sweet. That was the best Sunday Roast I’ve ever had in Cambridge, and I’ve lived here for 42 years. See you next Sunday.

The lunch was very dissappointing especially as the price was £16.50! The dinner w3as luke warm and the set vegetables were uninspiring, butternut squash puree a tablespoon of broad beans and peas and braised fennel. Would have been far better to have had carrots or broccoli. The potatoes were miniscule. Only options for lunch were a vegetarian choice or Lamb or Pork. Will find somewhere else in future,

Booked a Sunday lunch here because the reviews are so good. Found it very disappointing! There are only 6 tables and they do timed sittings, so with only 3 roast choices it should have been pretty quick. They seated us on time and then everyone else got their food. I kept reassuring the family that they must have a system, but after 45 mins and having watched all the other tables get and eat their food, I asked the waiter to take our order. They were pleasant enough but offered no apology for the fact that we’d been forgotten. There’s only 6 tables, and they are wedged into a tiny room so he had regularly walked past to deliver the other food! Started to feel like they were giving us poor service intentionally! The food was ok when we finally got it. Just ate it and left quickly because the room is so noisy and small and we’d had enough by then. Ruined my son’s birthday, won’t be back.

Was really disappointed. I booked due to the good reviews, which did not reflect my experience at all. The service was slow to see us to our table and take our order. The roast choices were limited and the one I wanted out of stock. The Wellington had too much potato and did not meet the description. The pudding choice was limited. I was looking forward to a great pub Sunday roast and did not enjoy any aspect. I would not go back and surprised I had to pay a deposit to secure the table as I thought that meant it would be good. I'm not even sure they took the deposit off the bill. We couldn't get out of there quick enough so just paid and left.

First visit even though ive been living locally all my life. Came here with family for a spot of lunch and ended up enjoying aa sunday roast. Very small menu with only a few Roasts available but makes choosing much easier. Food was presented beautifully, tasty and hot and very speedily arrived at the table. Staff were all very friendly and cheery
