We got the fish and chips—pretty good, though not the best item I’ve had from the menu. The place always has a great summer vibe, which I really enjoy. I do wish the tables had been cleaned before we sat down but other than that always a great trip down!

We really enjoy coming to this spot—it’s become one of our favorite places to relax and unwind. One of the best things about it is the outdoor seating area, which offers a beautiful view of the water. Sitting outside and watching the boats go by is incredibly peaceful and adds a charming touch to the whole experience. Whether it’s a sunny afternoon or a calm evening, the setting feels just right. Another thing we love is how family-friendly the area is. There’s a large open field nearby where kids can run around and play freely, which is such a bonus when you’re out with little ones. It gives them space to be active and have fun while the adults can sit back and enjoy a drink, some snacks, and good conversation. The atmosphere strikes the perfect balance between lively and laid-back. It’s ideal for casual gatherings, a quick aperitivo with friends, or even a low-key date night. The staff is always friendly, and the service is consistently good. Overall, it’s a place that offers something for everyone—great views, open space, and a welcoming vibe. We always look forward to coming back!

Just had lunch at The Plough with my son and was served by Faith, who was absolutely fantastic—polite, warm, and really, really lovely. The atmosphere was beautiful and the setting just perfect for a relaxing meal. We had a great lunch and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. If I could give six stars, I would. Faith was truly amazing and is an absolute credit to The Plough in Fen Ditton. Highly recommend

Fantastic visit for lunch today. Lara our waitress was spot on and very polite. The food was incredible, I had the dirty burger and my partner had a halloumi burger. The meat was cooked perfectly and the beef dripping sauce was out of this world. We have been several times to the plough and we will certainly be back again.

On a hot summer afternoon, the garden was cool sitting near the river Cam, and that was the best point.... unfortunately our wait for a portion of chips was half an hour, when they were finally ready they came out cold....thank goodness we didn't order a two course meal.

Popped along to the Plough today 2/1/25, for a local business networking event #Business Buzz, nice venue plenty of parking! Coffee was lush, will return in the summer to enjoy the river view! Only £10 plus Vat to attend.

Wonderful to cycle to the Plough from Cambridge along the river Cam. The beer garden and terrace are lovely with a view of the river. The staff are helpful and accommodating. The food is mixed, the scallops starter and steak pie were particularly good and exceeded expectations. The cheese burger was average. The sides had a bit to be desired. The trio dessert is too sweet, I would not recommend. The wines were good quality too.
