  “Pies are delicious and have really high quality. Steak and kidney pie has really good taste to it. Mashed potatoes are also creamy and tasty. Portions are large and pies have a lot of filling. Yeah, prices are higher but you get high quality and tasty food, in other words price to quality ratio is good. Only downside is that the veggies were a little too salty.”

  “Easily one of the best restaurants in Cambridge. The selection of pies is unreal and all the ones I have tried were very tasty. They have many other unique options in their menu. Space is very nicely decorated and staff very polite. Top place!”

  “Service was nice and friendly. We waited over an hour for food, but didn’t say anything as the restaurant looked busy. The pie was alright - had the beef and port pie. Mash was dreadful (chalky and lumpy with no seasoning). Veggies on the side were sad snd basic, no seasoning or anything special, just cooked through. Sadly, we found a hair in our food at the end of the meal. The manager apologised and to our surprise we only had 10% off taken off that dish in the bill (amounting to just over £1). Would have expected something a little more significant, but didn’t say anything and just left. I wouldn’t waste your time, there are a lot more nicer places for pies and CHEAPER.”

  “I highly recommend the beef and kidney pie. The rich, bone marrow gravy pairs beautifully with the buttery mashed potatoes. The service was very warm, and the restaurant itself is beautifully decorated. I loved the music too.”

  “Had a wonderful meal at this Trinity Street spot. The food was absolutely delicious and presented beautifully. Everything we tried was excellent, but the cheesecake was a real highlight for me. It was perfectly finished with a single, fresh raspberry on the side. I cannot wait to come back.”

  “Very nice place to spent the time with friends, lover or all by yourself. I had the third experience and was ethereal. The music and the mood are perfect after a busy day. The food is traditional and tasty. Recommended.”

  “Visited Hobbson's a few weeks ago during a short visit to Cambridge. We had a nice table by the window. The pies were absolutely delicious and accompanied by tasty mashed potato and vegetables. I went for the cheese and onion pie. The staff were hospitable, friendly, and attentive. Overall, we had a lovely dining experience.”

  “Myself and my wife ate here in mid February and it was absolutely fantastic. I'm rather partial to a pie and get particularly rattled at places that advertise a pie only to produce a bowl of meat with a pastry lid. That is not a pie end of. This is not one of those places and what came out was delicious and of excellent quality. My biggest issue was choosing which pie to go for as there were so many that were met with a yes. In the end I went for Aunt Doris’s famous chicken pie with a side of Red Cabbage. After ordering I was then informed that they didn't have any Cabbage left. Not a problem, these things happen. The meals then came out and I was given a side of Red Cabbage! The chap explained that they didn't have enough left for a full portion so they gave me what they had and I wouldn't be charged for it. That is what excellent service is all about. I then finished off with the Apple Crumble which I could have eaten twice over. Would I return? Absolutely. I'm looking forward to my next visit to Cambridge although not looking forward to the tough choice from the menu given the superb options.”

  “We had a lovely dining experience at Hobbson's. The ambience and service were very much on point. For starters we tried the cheese souffle and scotch egg. The egg is especially recommended. For mains we had the three little pigs and Mrs Miggins Boozy pies. The latter was especially meaty, as was the gravy. The portions were the right size. The vegetables were particularly stunning, especially the cabbage. For dessert we had the creme brulee cheesecake and the apple crumble, both were great.”

  “The food here is very good. Good ingredients, well cooked and well chosen. The main theme is PIES! Pies, pies and yet more pies. See the menu. Beef Wellington very well presented. Just rare not raw. Great pastry dome carapace on the duck pie. Good starters, wines and puddings. Our sub-server was pretty useless. She said little and did even less. Knew nothing about the dishes. Shame. The main chap was better.”
