Quick info
About Sandford House
Sandford House is a bar on George St in Huntingdon, spread across two historical buildings and an annex with a mixture of roomy and snug seating over a couple of levels. Food and drinks are ordered at the table, and it opens daily with a walk-in setup rather than reservations. Outdoor seating adds further space beyond the main rooms. The ground floor offers wheelchair accessible entry with a small lift up to the additional level. Attention has gone into the men's toilets, fitted with copper washbasins. Beyond the bar and dining, Sandford House operates as an attached hotel, with unpretentious en suite rooms available for those staying over.

“Another Wetherspoon place . Huge place as usual, good food , very unique toilets, affordable drinks and the bar staff were very polite & friendly but the waiter who brought our food wasn't so friendly just serving in the name of sake. Tables were set out well & I had plenty of room to enjoy my food. Our food arrived very quickly & the chicken wings portion were a very good size. Loved it”

“Located across two historical buildings and the annex between this Weatherspoons is a mixture of roomy and snug. Usual Weatherspoons fayre, good food and value, table ordering etc. Helpful staff made the visit extra welcoming. There is wheelchair accessible entry, and plenty of ground floor tables etc, there is also a small lift to aid those who may need it to upper floor. Whilst not as historical as some pubs in Huntingdon, worth a visit.”

“Big roomy pub with lots of seating. Pub is on a couple of levels but both are wheelchair accessible. I liked the copper washbasins in the men's toilets. Nice touch. Loads of outdoor seating & a great location as Huntingdon is the birthplace of Oliver Cromwell. Pub has accommodation but we were staying elsewhere. Worth a go as most Spoons hotels are good.”
