  “We stopped here and it wasn't open yet after a awful day and desperately looking for somewhere to eat.. the Manager let us sit for a drink until 5:30pm until food was ready! They were so kind and helpful the owner offered to help us with somewhere to stay ( a friend )if we couldn't find accommodation and let me charge my phone! The vegan food was incredible and the staff were brilliant!!”

  “My wife and I were staying in Cambourne last week and decided to have a meal out. We drove past the Shire Inn and it looked nice, so we phoned for a reservation for about an hour later. Such a great decision! We both had a lovely meal, Delicious scampi, lovely chips, Super mushroom starter, and prawn cocktail for my wife. Ice cream to finish. All perfect, lovely friendly staff, and very reasonable price indeed. Nice atmosphere, not too cramped, and a good big car park. A perfect evening!!”

  “10/10 experience! We stayed in Clowance and visited this pub one evening for food and we were so happy with the service the quality of the food and the atmosphere! Four of our party had carvery and there was a great selection of meats and generous portions and the staff couldn't do enough for you. The steak was cooked perfectly and the sizzler was also grea. The selection of puddings was vast and they all looked so tempting! We settled on biscoff cheesecake and ferrero rocher cheese cake and both were delicious. The dessert portions were huge and we took half home for the next days pudding! After such a lovely meal the next night we just had to return for round two and the same amazing service and food was received. I didnt fancy any of the sauces with the sizzler but the chef asked if i wanted garlic butter instead, such a simple thing but meant a lot and made my food taste amazing! Very sad we are only holidaying here and cant make this our regular food spot. Welcoming staff, great food and dog friendly, couldnt ask for more 🥰”

  “Good on them for having a decent vegan menu. Nice staff too. Unfortunately the food I was served was awful. Burnt burger and raw chips. The pizza dirty chips thing sounded good but was just chips with chopped tomatoes and two slices of cheese for £16. Truly a disgrace to the world of pub food. Frodo and Sam would have kept eating the lembas bread if this was the only pub in the shire”

  “Been staying at clowence resort for many years now, each time we past here we've always said that we will have to go in, we'll tonight we did, wow wow wow.. why haven't us in years gone bye, I will never know, 4 adults, 3 had starters, mushrooms and the belly pork 10/10,, we all had the carvery, I've had many carverys and I stated to Chris (the cheif serving us) that this was the best one that I have ever had, And I've had loads.. meats all moist, roast potatoes to die for ( I had 5 so not to be greedy I wish i had more), veg superb, stuffing, yorkshires, gravy, wow and the deserts, only 2 of us had, again they where outstanding. Service excellent from the staff. Whilst waiting and eating our food, all off us were watching and looking at other meals coming out of the kitchen, they also looked amazing. Wish now that we popped in at the beginning off our holiday and not at the end so that we could have tired something else, always next time, all in all, I will recommend it here and booking is advised. It's a 10/10 from all of us.”

  “Really great food, freshly cooked and vegetarian/vegan options available. The only problem I had were people smoking next to us when eating, but thats only a problem with the outside seating. Staff are friendly, dogs are also welcome which is a bonus!”

  “Very disappointing food, roast potatoes were very over done an dry,meat was dry turkey an beef, no seasoning in colly cheese was very bland, no butter in boiled potatoes, mushy peas was pretty good tbf, gravy was nice enough. Expensive too, £16 each. Its definitely a £9 calvery not the price charged. Guinness was nice. Staff was lovely although i was never asked if our food was ok (probably for the best tbh). Lovely location very clean beautiful restaurant tbh..just needs better food.”

  “The service was prompt. Very attentive with drinks order, clearing table etc. However the food really let the experience down. The meats were good - the turkey was great. That's about where the positives end. The Yorkshire puddings bought in and cooked from frozen. The vegetables were extremely watery and tasteless. Everything was barely warm despite the plate itself being fairly hot. Mushy peas.. After hearing such good things about The Shire from a neighbour and coming purely on her recommendation, it was such a disappointment. Due to how watery, cold and tasteless it all was I left around 3/4 of my food.”

  “Amazing carvery, so much variety on veg etc. The roast potatoes were my favourite, cooked to perfection. The huge slab of cherry cheesecake I took home (as was too fat and full to eat while there) was delicious and definitely value for money, given it's size. Would highly recommend. We will be back 😊”
