The Red Lion - Menu

Staying in the Holiday Inn across the road which the pub restaurant is run by the hotel which was very disappointing the food was cold. The manager was not very helpful. We will be eating somewhere else for the next four nights.

Absolutely awful it's end October and no heating complained and got an oil filled radiator that kept the bedroom warm but bathroom freezing food at best mediocre but premium prices pie and mash 26 quid 32 with a pint swipe left people's when u get offered this place never again

We stayed for 2 days. The best thing is that it is close to the station so it is an easy train ride to the centre of Cambridge. However the inn is dirty. The cutlery in the room was not clean and dirty, the cutlery for dinner was dirty. The stairs haven’t been cleaned in months and the net curtains throughout the hotel and in the room were Black, they have never been washed, not ever. There was no service or staff working the weekend. Really really poor.

No pre warning that we had to go across the road to the other hotel to book in. Given the key and no welcome , arrived in the room and the TV remote didn’t work , kettle didn’t work , the door wouldn’t lock properly and the shower was AWFUL , the lights were all broken wonky or absolutely covered in dust and the room itself was really dirty ! Curtains were awful and let all the light in. Would not reccomend to anyone , staff when I reported issues were less than helpful

I stay in Cambridge every week of the year . This is the worst hotel I have stayed in ! What else can I say. Room dirty, towels soiled, bathroom filthy, no air con, ridiculously hot room, **** food … sorry red Lion , you are awful , truly the worst hotel in Cambridge ! I expect you will tell me that if I had told you how awful you were you would have fixed it ? BS …. ! If you are looking for accommodation in Cambridge area and reading this review book anything else in preference to this dump

Beautiful hotel. Good rooms which were really cheap for Cambridge and were nicely appointed. We loved the quirky nature of the hotel with its ancient timbers and doors Negatives Weird location. Poor quality food for the money. Odd staff with one exception. We felt like we were in a zombie apocalypse film when we walked in. The staff seemed irritated by our arrival and that feeling continued throughout dinner. Everything felt like too much trouble. There was one very good waitress but we were unimpressed by the others I'm afraid. The cottage pie was frankly inedible and the chilli overspiced. Pudding was ok. Well done, however, for offering a good range of gluten free options.

I arrived at 15:20 only to find the place locked up, with a sign explaining to go to the Holiday Inn to complete check in. Went and checked in at the holiday inn, they gave me the key although it didn't fit the main hotel door. (Seems you need to buzz the intercom each time you wish to go in) The room was one of the smallest hotel rooms I've ever stayed in and with reduced height of the doorways it wasn't a pleasant experience. The room was seriously hot, it got so bad in the night I took my pillow down to the car and slept in that. The outside temperature was cool in the evening but the room was ridiculously hot, no aircon just a very small fan they brought me. Place felt slightly dirty.

Can't explain why others have given this place a decent review. I'm giving two stars and that's generous. The beef was tasteless and full of gristle. The rest of the plate so overwhelmed by the taste of cloves it was impossible to eat. Really horrible. And then there was the service. It was politely clueless. For example, a bottle of wine was delivered with no glasses. They did come when prompted but the bottle was not open.When prompted it too got opened. But both the lack of glasses and the closed bottle came as a surprise to our server. That was small potatoes tho compared to the awful roast, thin gravy, gristly meat, overwhelming taste of cloves. Pretty horrible actually and totally not...

I booked to go to this village Inn on the basis of a Booking.com recommendation for Sunday 12th July as I wanted to visit the IMW at Duxford on my way home from Market Harborough. I was looking forward to an enjoyable evening at a village Inn, staying the night and then going home in the morning. I arrived at about 2.30 and found the front door locked so thinking it would be open later I went to Duxford Museum excellent and definitely worth a visit. On my return the front door was still looked so I went across to the HIE hotel opposite who to my surprise booked me in to the Red Lion. I then discovered the Red Lion was closed on Saturdays and Sundays but could stay there and get food in the H...
