The Carlton Arms - Cambridge

The kitchen is occasionally closed when it should be open, but overall the food is delicious and the local pub has a welcoming atmosphere.

This restaurant serves one of the best roast dinners available, and the price and staff make the experience even more enjoyable. It is the only place I like to go for a Sunday roast.

The Sunday roast at this restaurant is outstanding. It is truly the best lunch I have ever had. The home-cooked food is of top quality, with options like beef, turkey, pork with the best crackling, and ham. There is a wide selection of excellently cooked vegetables, perfect roast potatoes, yorkshires, and gravy. I have yet to find a better roast anywhere else. You definitely won't leave hungry. The staff is friendly and always eager to please their customers. I cannot recommend the Carlton Arms enough.

Fantastic, honest pub. Staff are lovely, food is delicious, particularly the carvery. Overall spotlessly clean facilities. Great old school pub.

We had booked a table for our family of four. Arrived and drinks were purchased within a reasonable time frame. Shown to our seats and when we tried to approach the carvery, we were abruptly told that there were take away meals which had to be priority. So we sat back down again and waited 20 minutes until we thought we had been beckoned to come for food, however, another table had just been seated next to us and at the carvery table we were told they were first. When we raised this as a problem, they finally allowed our family to get their food. Whilst sat waiting and during the entirety of our meal, we noticed the various staff keep pulling bits of meat off the carvery to eat. Dreadful and disgusting as no one wore gloves. Eventually there seemed to be a big plate of meat piled at the back for the staff to continually pick at. The chap putting together the various take away meals in cartons was dressed inappropriately, kept removing sweat from his non-gloved hands from his face, and then continuing to serve the food into the cartons, some by hand e.g. Yorkshire puddings. Would never order take away from this place! The food itself was a bit overpriced though not too bad. Some was overcooked, the roast potatoes were hard and some items were not available due to them being all given to the take away cartons. Overall we would never return due to the poor standard of hygiene and service.
