Village pub near Peterborough named in The Good Food Guide 2026

4.8/5 Google rating. A recent customer said: "The best full English I’ve had in years. The waitress was attentive even when really busy. The food was grade A greasy spoon, just like a breakfast should be. The chef serenaded us to reggae classics. What more could you ask for? Oh, and the tea and coffee (free with your breakfast) tasted lovely. Well done guys and girls."
