  “A lovely traditional spot in the heart of Cambridge, with a charming atmosphere and tables overlooking the historic King’s College. We came to try the traditional Sunday Roast, choosing both the Beef Roast and the Trio with beef, pork and chicken. Everything was very tasty, although I would recommend the Beef Roast, as the meat pairs particularly well with the traditional accompaniments. The lower floor has a lovely traditional pub style atmosphere, perfect for a more relaxed drink. We also tried the traditional cask ale served at room temperature, an interesting British experience, although a little too light and diluted for my taste. Overall, a great place to experience a traditional British Sunday Roast with a beautiful Cambridge setting. 🇬🇧🥩🍺”

  “We were lucky to get a window table and had a good view of Trinity College. The steaks were executed perfectly and accompanying sauces were good too. Very attentive and polite service.”

  “We had a table indoors with a nice view of the College opposite and service was friendly and efficient. They had a nice weekday lunch menu as well as a good selection of dishes on the main menu. Everything we ordered was nicely executed, though the steak could be better for the price.”

  “Beautiful place situated in a very busy and easy to access road. At the begging looks like is small but, they have plenty of space downstairs. Magic, quiet and beautiful atmosphere. The food is amazing. If you are vegetarian or vegan don’t go there trying to find all the food for you, because clearly is a place where you will enjoy delicious meat. The 3 courses for £30 were absolutely perfect. Great portion and the flavour I will not have enough words to describe it. The staff upstairs is okay. But the people downstairs were absolutely wonderful. We did not have a booking but we were able to find a place. If you are having a trip or a romantic date. Yes you must go there. Even when upstairs is awesome downstairs is beautiful. (I prefer places with not a lot noise) Great experience.”

  “We stopped by this place while visiting Cambridge, and I had one of the juiciest and most delicious burgers I’ve ever had. Everything tasted fresh, especially the salad, and you could tell the ingredients were high quality. The person who served us had a great sense of humor and made our visit even more enjoyable. Friendly service like that really makes a difference. I highly recommend this place if you’re visiting Cambridge. And if you’re a local, I’m sure you’ve already discovered this gem!”

  “What a delicious roast dinner! As we always can expect, the closest places to touristic zone are not always the best... turists traps! But this is a exceptional restaurant. I was not disappointed at all. The food was tasty and the price reasonable. No doubt, I'll be back when visiting Cambridge.”

  “The Cambridge Chop House is one of the most memorable restaurants I’ve visited in Cambridge and an easy place to recommend if you enjoy a good steak. Located on King’s Parade near King’s College, it sits close to one of Cambridge’s more unusual landmarks, the Corpus Clock, with its famous mechanical creature crawling across the top. As the author of The Grant Colson Thriller Series, I always notice locations with character, and the downstairs dining areas definitely feel like the sort of place where a secret meeting or important conversation could take place. From the street, the restaurant looks fairly modest, but once inside it opens into a series of dining rooms below ground level. The layout almost feels like a maze of old cellar rooms, giving the restaurant a distinctive atmosphere that fits Cambridge surprisingly well. The service was excellent throughout the meal. The staff was attentive, professional, and friendly without being intrusive. I ordered the ribeye and thoroughly enjoyed it. For dessert, the sticky toffee pudding was outstanding, especially with the generous amount of sauce. One unexpected favorite was the haggis balls. I wasn’t entirely sure what to expect, but they were excellent and something I’d happily order again. The atmosphere manages to feel both comfortable and historic, which is a combination I really enjoyed. Whether you’re visiting Cambridge for a day or spending longer in the city, this is a restaurant that’s worth making time for. I’ll definitely be back on a future trip.”

  “We had a great dinner at The Cambridge Chop House. It's right in the center but surprisingly quiet and has a really nice, cozy vibe. ordered the ribeye steak and my husband had the lamb. We also got garlic broccoli to share. Honestly, everything was perfect. The meat was super tender and cooked exactly how we wanted. For dessert, we tried the Sticky Toffee Pudding and omg... it was amazing, you definitely need to try it. The cocktails were also really good and well-made. The staff were so polite and attentive, they made us feel very welcome. It's a bit pricier than average, but the quality of the food and the service totally makes it worth it. We think this place is actually quite underrated. If you want a really good steak in Cambridge, you won't be disappointed!”

  “Came in for Sunday lunch with a friend, both celebrating our Birthdays. Was fortunate enough to be served by Emma who was exceptional. She guided us through the menu, helped us choose wine and was just wonderful. Felt like we were friends within minutes! Our Sunday lunches came out quickly, hot, decent portions and delicious. We ordered a desert and we received a complimentary ice cream, complete with Birthday candle. It was a really brilliant experience. The food was tasty, the service amazing. Would come again without hesitation, to try the steak next time!! Thank you for a wonderful Birthday celebration. Recommend 5*”

  “The experience was below expectations overall. Prices are quite high, and an additional service charge is added. We were also surprised to be charged for bottled water that was served in an unsealed bottle with their own branding. We ordered two steaks, one kids’ meal, and the cheapest bottle of red wine, and the total came to £135. While the food was acceptable, the overall value for money didn’t justify the cost.”
