Brilliant find very convenient for IWM Duxford. As a gluten intolerant pescatarian, I cannot fault the service and quality of the food. Despite there being nothing on the menu suitable for me to eat, chef made me truly delicious fishy main and gluten free dessert. Fantastic.

Loved it.. Great place fab staff

Lovely country pub really authentic feel and a very warm welcome. Parking available. Room was clean a tidy with everything you need (we definitely needed the extra radiator as it was freezing outside!) the staff were all very friendly and dealt with any requests or queries we had with enthusiasm. Overall we loved our stay overnight for our visit to Duxford IWM and would recommend anyone staying here.
Beware the breakfast is so good you won’t need any lunch,
Thank you

Fantastic and attentive hospitality

We booked for a party of approx 60 people for our "fashionably late" Christmas do!
So impressed with the caring attentive service. The food was fantastic which is no mean feat for so many people. Room looked great, we brought some decorations too. Access to screen projector and DJ too. We had everything we needed and lots of positive feedback on how much our team liked the place..
Brett is a lot of fun, really helpful and really kept the cogs turning with our gang.. even turned the lights off for dramatic effect on cue! thank you so much!!! Jo. Village Vet x

Don’t stay here. I was told to park “by the sheds” across the road as the car park (of a very small number of spaces) was full. I did so and have now received a £100 fine through the post. After contacting the pub they are not claiming any responsibility. Book somewhere else where there are more parking spaces and they are genuinely free of charge!
