  “Six of us went to the Fox and Duck for a meal to celebrate my husband’s big birthday. It was our first visit here and we enjoyed it very much. The food was excellent - piping hot and well presented - and the service and courtesy of staff faultless. It is certainly somewhere we shall visit again and we recommend it wholeheartedly.”

  “​What a great place! I arrived on a Tuesday evening hoping for food, a drink, some atmosphere, and somewhere to sleep in my camper van - it did not disappoint. ​There's no pub food on Tuesdays, but a gourmet burger from the van outside was allowed inside with a pint. A super friendly barmaid and local darts match gave plenty of atmosphere, and the quiet car park made for a great night's sleep. Highly recommend!”

  “We decided to stop at the Fox & Duck for lunch on Thursday 01/10/2026 and unfortunately, the experience was a little disappointing. I ordered a pint of Guinness & black along with the Foxy Beef Burger, which came to just over £23. For a quick pub lunch, I felt this was quite expensive, especially considering the quality of the main course. The food arrived nicely presented, and I have to say the chips were delicious. Unfortunately, the burger itself was pink inside and, for me, this really spoilt the meal. I also found that the salad made the brioche bun rather soggy. As we were only stopping for a quick lunch, I didn’t want to complain and have to wait for another burger to be cooked, so I simply ate what I could. However, I do feel there is no excuse for a beef burger being served undercooked, particularly when it wasn’t requested that way. There were some positives, especially the presentation and the excellent chips, but unfortunately the burger and the price meant the lunch didn’t live up to expectations.”

  “For the first time in a while I recently had lunch in this nice pub in a lovely location with ample parking. I think it may have changed hands since my last visit, but it is still a good place for a pub lunch. The staff are very friendly and the service is efficient. The food is not expensive but what I had was a bit disappointing: a Ploughman’s lunch with a fairly small portion of cheese, a small piece of ‘gammon ham’ (which seemed to just be ordinary packeted ham), a sausage roll which wasn't very nice, no onions, no pickle, but a good quantity of very nice bread. It was OK, and reasonable value, but nothing special. On the other hand, my wife’s chicken caesar salad was good, and also good value. The coffee is also good. All the usual drinks are available though, surprisingly, not grapefruit juice. It’s great to be able to eat on the village green at the front (subject to availability), but many of the tables are worn out and need refurbishing or replacing, and the sun umbrellas also need replacing. I feel slightly bad leaving a less than glowing review as the staff are so nice, but I do think that what is currently a perfectly good village pub could, with just a few changes, be a real gem.”

  “Excellent food. My parents ran Chinese restaurants and I know how difficult it is to get each plate just right. I had calamari to start, and hake with potatoes and samphire for mains. The dishes were well cooked and the fish was absolutely spot on. The flesh just flaking off. Price is reasonable, especially compared to the pubs going towards Cambridge area. The only little niggle I had was that Therfield is not somewhere you would merely just drive through. So you have to make a special trip to eat there. But well worth it. Thank you chef, top work!”

  “Nice place and the food is good.... But I'd say a bit over-priced for what is essentially glorified pub grub. Staff attentive and friendly. Had a funny incident where the girl serving us called me saying we'd skipped our bill, and she then looked over her shoulder and saw me on the phone to her (dialled the wrong number). It was taken the right way and we had a laugh. Having said that, if that were me, if have at very least offered a free drink, dessert or something as a common courtesy - particularly when there's 10-20% mark up against other equally good places within a few miles.”

  “Haven’t eaten here for a long time but after my son raved about their truffle chips we decided to give it a go. We were welcomed by Alice who was cheerful and helpful throughout our meal. F&D is under new management and the menu is smaller than it once was and I think that is a good thing. We were a party of 5, 2 had fish & chips, 2 had burgers and 1 had the flat iron steak. All enjoyed our meals, particularly those who had the fish & chips. Hearty portions and both said the fish was delicious & batter light. We’d heard good things about chef Calumn’s sticky toffee pudding so those were ordered and yes absolutely delicious. Definitely recommend. A very good meal out. I do hope locals continue to support this pub. Decor could do with being updated (personally never liked the purple paint or dated pictures) & hopefully they will in time.”

  “I can't fault the service, but the roast dinner was extremely poor. For £23 it was very bad tasting food, not sure what they did to the Yorkshire puddings and potatoes but almost inedible. Stingiest portion of cheesy cauliflower and stuffing, one mouth worths. Expected more for almost £24.”

  “You won’t be disappointed! Called in following recommendations from other Motorhome users. Friendly welcome, good beer, wine, food. Quiet location no railways, main roads flight path. Just bees and birdsong.”

  “Lunchtime meet up here with family as a halfway house for us all, it turned out nice too so sat outside before meal. Good choice of beers to suit all tastes my favourite craft. Staff welcome was very friendly and loads of smiles. There were ten of us and we had a good table. The food was amazing and very large portions I had starter of Charcuterie board and main of Pork Tomahawk with warm savoy slaw which was amazing, I was last one finishing as huge meal, consequently no desert for me but I would have had the cheese board looked fabulous.”
