Ramsey's Brasserie - Huntingdonshire

My husband and I had a delicious vegetarian lunch in a delightful, cosy setting here on Friday, with friendly, efficent service. Great location just outside the centre of St. Ives with plenty parking, and fabulous, old country house style beautifully refurbished. We had tomato risotto and two wonderful puddings an excellent chef! We were also grateful that our main waitress was wearing a plastic visor. (I do feel strongly about this when people are standing directly over us and our food it is simple hygiene and good manners and I wish other restaurants would do the same. Our only two points for improvement are: 1 please provide more vegetarian and vegan options, and label these clearly we like a choice too, and 2 more people should be there it is great!

This is under new management (owners also run The Windmill Restaurant, Somersham . They are doing a fantastic job (unlike the previous owner and must have employed a top notch chef, because the food is outstanding so much so that we have been 4 times in 5 weeks. They have a set menu (excellent value and an à la carte menu. I recommend the chicken Caesar salad (I wouldn’t normally go for salad, but this was what I refer to as a ‘meaty’ salad (that doesn’t necessarily mean meat, but a hearty, full salad with a lot of ingredients I recently heard the requirements for a good salad being discussed on Radio 4 and this salad had everything: Texture, oiliness (a tasty dressing , a lot of lovely vegetation, such as radiccio (cannot spell it , baby leaf spinach, pea shoots, carrots ... I cannot remember everything though, there was so much (but not overdone . I tried it a second time and it was different, but just as good, and had the addition of bacon. The Dirty burger and chips ... well, my partner and I agree that this is the tastiest burger we ever had (and I used to live in the States!! We also had a sharer starter platter (breads, breadsticks, olives and meat which was lovely and good value. They have a nice bar, you can eat on the terrace (sheltered if you want or inside and the staff are friendly and knowledgeable (we tested them on their knowledge of the history of Slepe Hall it used to be a girls’ school . Really impressed, very happy customers. Go there!

Superb lunch, great value.....and the duphinoise potatoe was the best I've ever tasted! Compliments to the chef Keith. Great time with ex work colleagues, yet again, the food never fails to delight!

We had a wonderful afternoon tea at Slepe Hall. I called to enquire before booking as I have a nut allergy and, after a chat with the Head Chef, I was reassured and made a booking. The food was fabulous, and the tea was lovely too. The measures put in place for Covid-19 prevention made us feel safe throughout, and the staff were very friendly and helpful. Highly recommended!

After visiting many different drinking establishments in different areas of the country I can confidently say that Slepe Hall is a perfect place for a relaxing drink during these unprecedented times. Treat yourself and sit outside enjoying the sunset in a perfectly safe environment. Enthusiastic attentive staff, well trained, good attitude and customer service!
