  “We loved our visit to the yard, it was just perfect. We reserved an area for around 70 people, and we were able to arrange for a table to be sorted for our guests for food and drink - the team made this super easy for us to do. All our guests were super impressed with the venue, the perfect chilled spot with great food and drink options.”

  “This place looks like a great place to eat and drink, and has a nice atmosphere, and great options for sitting indoors or out. But today was our first time going, and as mentioned when we got here, we were happy with the look of it, atmosphere etc. We were told max time for waiting was 45 mins for food(but likely less) which was fine. It then took over an hour to get our food (which was a vegan bagel (avocado, chilli jam and spinach) with 2 hash browns + side of coleslaw and a side of fries). When we eventually got our food, the hash browns were missing (which after going to investigate we then got given them), and then further inspection of the bagel, it was black in places - as per photo! And the amount of filling for the price was disappointing, taking a bite, all you could taste was burnt bagel. We aren't people to complain about food, generally just get on with it and suck it up if its a bad meal, but due to the wait and the bagel being majorly burnt, we spoke to the main lady that was on the counter, which she replied 'there's nothing I can do about it, do you want a refund' she was very quite rude, no customer service skills, no offer to get replacement, not apologetic BUT they are good to offer a refund so thats what we accepted (still waiting for this to come through). We did eat the fries and fennel coleslaw, both were nice. But overall a rubbish experience on my partners first father's day!!”

  “Harry Baker was totally brilliant and it was a pleasure to listen to his very fine way with words. The staff were all so pleasant and helpful with good service at the bar. I would come back and like to try the food. This is a great venue and well done on having such a quality event, signed books and posters were available.”

  “The place was nice , and the mojitos were pretty good. However, the rice bowls were kind of disappointing without much flavour, and relatively small portions. The mac n cheese side was tasty and of good size. The milkshake was made with powder and not ice cream so quite disappointing…”

  “I love the yard. Food is always delicious and it goes without saying the best coffee around. A big Bonus is that they are super dog friendly. Very relaxed atmosphere, staff are friendly and helpful. Has to be the best place to g in town.”

  “Great outdoors/undercover for drinks. Didn't have food but it looked reasonable. First time I've had Jeremy Clarkson's Hawkstone and thoroughly enjoyed it on a hot spring day!”

  “The Yard hosted our intimate afternoon wedding reception. Great communication from Andi during the planning of our event, and a lovely email the day before to say everything was sorted and ready for our day. On the day we were welcomed by Andi and along with her team they checked in lots during the afternoon to make sure that we had what we needed. Food was served what we called ‘street food buffet style’ and was a highlight of our afternoon. We had pizzas, mini sliders, bbq chicken wings, fries, salads, sausage rolls and lots of other buffet style foods. Everything was delicious, beautifully presented and well received by all of our guests. During the day the bar and coffee bar were open allowing our guests to go for whatever they fancied. I think we tried almost everything, from the best lattes in Ely to fruity ciders and fancy cocktails, and all were lovely and reasonably priced. We reserved the indoor space for the afternoon, however we also had access to the outdoor spaces which was still open to the general public during the day. This was actually really lovely, our guests mingled inside and out, and we received lots of congratulations from the other people using the facilities. Overall, the vibe at the yard was exactly what we were looking for to celebrate our marriage. Gorgeous setting, delicious food, bar for our guests, and the BEST coffee in Ely! I would highly recommend the Yard and Andi for food, drinks, coffee and unbeatable vibe. Bonus, DOG FRIENDLY!”

  “Excellent concept. See the good reviews so thought we would give it a try for breakfast. Parking is free with another free parking available adjacent. Plenty of choice of seating inside and outside with the added addition of three pods. Staff are very helpful and friendly. The form is to make your order and and take a little gadget away with you which buzz’s like crazy informing that orders ready. Don’t try and pay via this gadget (as did my wife 😂) it don’t work. The breakfast was excellent,cooked perfectly and reasonably priced. The coffee was as good as any on most high street if not better. Well worth a try.”

  “Wonderful place to visit and warm yourself with an expertly made coffee. Friendly staff always happy to help and in the case of me and my family, go above and beyond. Shout out to Annie the barista who was the definition of service with a smile. *Chefs kiss to the chefs!”

  “We spent a lovely breakfast time on Christmas Eve in one of the pods….the breakfast was good and offered a nice veggie option for my buddy, the pod was super cozy with its roof heater, the blankets and faux fur rugs made it even more so. Coffee is always great and the staff were very helpful!”
