Pike and Eel Hotel and Marina

This was the fifth time we’ve had Sunday lunch recently and every one has been good. The pork was very tender, and apparently, also the beef. Portions are big and the choice of vegetables excellent - carrots, parsnips, brocolli, red cabbage, cauliflower cheese and roast potatoes. The Yorkshire puddings are enormous. There’s a decent selection of wines and the merlot was very nice. Although it was extremely busy, service was excellent. All the staff are very friendly and efficient. It’s become our ‘go to ‘ restaurant for family lunches. We’ll be back.

Stayed for one night, the staff could not have been more helpful. I arrived late, they allowed me to order food after the kitchen had closed. Then there was an issue with my booking, from my company’s end. They were so patient, then they upgraded me to a lovely room. To finish it off, the breakfast was fantastic and the morning staff were so friendly. I was only on a work trip, but they made me feel like I was on holiday.

We came for Lunch with old friends, first impression when we walked out to the back to eat was, not sure as too many tables, but they sat us near the back which had a nice view of the Marina, and the food was fantastic, really good service and very tasty and nicely presented food. We used to visit here years ago and our friends used to as well so we had some nice memories, we will definitely recommend this venue and hope to go back again soon.

Pictures of the rooms where not like the real thing, stayed in one of the chalets as we had our dog with us which we also had to pay extra for, the chalet was positioned away from the pub itself. Bad sewer smell in the bathroom. No socket for kettle so had to put it on the floor. Location was good for what we wanted but a little over priced.

The bed is to die for ! Love the stay from customer service ( young lad who checked me in) to the owners who were so friendly and kind ! The room was clean and well maintained ! Can’t fault it ! Did I say about the bed lol 😂! The best sleep I ve had for years ! Thankyou

If I could rate this establishment it would be 0. We booked table for 5 and were seated at a small table barely big enough for 4. Waitress did not have a clue what beers were available when asked to check could barely recall what was available. Ordered orange juice and sparkling water received orange juice and still water. We ordered our meals. My husband and I had eaten our starters before my daughter got hers. Jug of water we ordered arrived without glasses had to request 5 glasses. The roast beef dinner was palatable apart from my daughter’s who left most of her beef as it looked like the end piece that had been cooked to death. I spoke to the manager regarding these issues as I wanted to give him the opportunity to put things right rather than giving this establishment a bad review. The manager wasn’t particularly interested as he said they were very busy but he would adjust the bill. We were disappointed as this was a special occasion for 2 mums which had been spoilt by complete lack of customer care and service..so we left without dessert or coffee. When we got our bill there was a ‘gesture of goodwill’ of £18.00. There was no apology or offer to put things right e.g. move us to a more suitable table. When we left the table was still empty. Let this be a review to be considered by potential customers hoping for a pleasant experience especially if it’s for a special occasion.

This is a fabulous place! In a wonderful setting, with great rooms (we stayed in Doctor Hare), great food, and such polite, friendly and helpful staff. We will definitely return there as soon as an opportunity presents itself! We were there with several friends and they all loved it too.

I booked a table at the Pike & Eel for a Friday evening at 1930. We arrived to an almost empty carpark, strange we thought. We went to the bar and were greeted very nicely by a young lady. Told her we had booked but there was no need as there were only 6 people that we could see eating. She asked if we wanted to sit in the restaurant. We asked to look at the menu. I am sorry to say this Pike & Eel but the menu is poor and unimaginative Berger, Fish & Chips, Cottage Pie, Chicken Francaise, Curry but what was in it? This used to be a vibrant place to eat and chat with friends, with a decent menu , what has happened? We went to the Windmill at Somersham instead.

This is a delightful little hotel, in a beautiful setting by the river. The exterior has been kept nice, grass cut, the dinning/breakfast room are comfortable and pleasant with the option to eat outside if you want. Staff are efficient and welcoming. A beautiful place to get away from the stresses of every day life.
