RUBBISH! was seated at a small table behind a pillar in the middle of the restaurant, I waited 15 mins to be served and asked if I would like a drink, but then had my food order taken at the same time, I had the roast beef which wasn't very hot, and the beef was more gristle and fat than meat and the Yorkshire pudding was looking a deflated and depressed, my wife had the fish and chip that was under cooked, white fish is a white meat and not a pink/brown meat, for us to arrive at the restaurant be seated, have a drink, eat and leave in less than an hour tells me that the food was rushed and a big chance of it being undercooked.I have waited longer in fish and chip shop for my fish than I did in this restaurant

Had booked, but was running late on a Sunday evening and they still accommodated me for dinner, much appreciated as I had been driving for about 4.5 hours that day.Staff were lovely, just the right balance of attentive without being pushy, friendly without being intrusive. Pleasant, happy and kind.Food was lovely, especially the roast porchetta, and a huge serving at a reasonable price.Only slight downside for me, was one table with children, letting them watch videos on the phone with the volume up... And a "dad" at another table chuntering on about a set menu, when there was clearly no set menu. Don't get me wrong, if something isn't right, I'll complain, but this fella forgot to put on his big boy pants and needed to calm down. TBF None of which was the pubs fault!So all in all, a definite recommendation from me!And did I mention that the staff were fab!

I visited this beautiful pub yesterday and was absolutely blown away by the incredible experience. The staff were all wonderful and so helpful, going above and beyond to ensure we had a fantastic visit. Despite running late, the staff were incredibly accommodating and made us feel welcome.The food and drinks were exceptional, and the atmosphere was simply amazing. I highly recommend this pub to anyone looking for a memorable dining experience. I will definitely be returning in the future.

Possibly the worst rendition of a pizza I’ve had for the £13 they charged. Heard many good things about this place but was a massive let

Fabulous atmosphere and service. The best Sunday in Cambridge.

Went for a Sunday roast with a friend. Overall it was great and good value. It gets super busy on a Sunday so I would recommend booking in advance. The carrot cake was 10/10

The Plough Coton in Cambridge exceeded expectations. The waitresses provided exceptional service with genuine warmth, ensuring a delightful dining experience. Kudos to the chef for crafting dishes that not only pleased the palate but also showcased culinary excellence. The combination of attentive staff and outstanding food makes The Plough Coton a must-visit gastropub in Cambridge.

Was very rushed. 5mins after finishing our main meal the bill was on the table and had a rude waitress asking if we wanted to pay by card. Very disappointing.

10.01.2024 Came for lunch. 3 adults, 3 children. Was slightly late due to traffic.Before ordering maitre d told us he'd already booked our table out after us. Basically saying for us to eat quickly and leave.Food took a while to come due to it being busy.Roast chicken was nice but too big for the plate and needed a sharpr knife to cut it with Roast lamb was nice but fiddly.Children's portions were generous.Restaurant was noisy, service was slow. Maitre d put a damper on the meal from the start.Would not recommend or return.Parking: Lots of parking spaces but lots of badly parked cars.Kid-friendliness: Climbing frame outside.
The nicest roast in Cambridge by far!! Staff were lovely, the most tender roast beef ever and properly poured pints of Guinness! Couldn't ask for better, will absolutely be back!

The new menu at the Plough is excellent. Several attractive items to choose from: it is our second visit this week, and we will come again soon.::::::::::Another visit, and I fear - another disappointment. The atmosphere in the pub is brilliant, it's a really pleasant place to be. But the menu had very few things attractive; we tried "Asian salad with soft crab", and the very basic salad was old, far from fresh (as if it was cut yesterday). What's going on in their kitchen?-------I am forced to write an update: we visited yesterday and found they changed the menu (as is appropriate from time to time). The new menu was quite disappointing though: the excellent dishes are gone, the pork belly has little flavour, the plaice as well (plus the rubbery gnocchi wasn't a good add), several other dishes were quite/below ordinary. Hope the next change of menu comes soon............This is not my first review of The Plough in Coton, but I felt compelled to write again. The atmosphere is as good as ever, the staff are happy and not stressed, enjoying themselves (mostly). It's important to have this good energy, it passed over to the floor.But my main point was the food. They changed the menu last Thursday, and there are at least four main dishes we would have to come back for to taste... Today we had octopus, and whoever is in their kitchen - they have my respect: it is not easy to cook octopus that tender, and the whole dish works very well together. Again, you can only cook that well if you have good energy, and I wish it continues at The Plough

Lovely Boxing Day Lunch, no problem in moving tables as my father is hard of hearing with a lot of background noise. Attentive staff and would love to visit again. Disability parking spaces.
