Took the CO to the John Barleycorn in Duxford, Cambridgeshire, for the weekend. It wasn't our first visit, as we have been captivated by the pub and its charming staff for some time. The pub offers an impressive menu, which changes regularly and, every Sunday, serves up what must be some of the best roast dinners for miles around. The... More

Over 45 minutes wait for food once we had ordered when it was not very busy. Food was very poor and expensive, chefs homemade pie was a ceramic dish a pastry top and a load of gravy with one or two small pieces of meat. Did not stop for dessert. This is pub food at it's worst. More

We were treated politely, and the room was clean but the very tiny window allowed little light to read. The bed was lumpy and left me bad back pain. The toilet seat was broken and the shower needed to be fixed by us in order for the head of it to be higher than waist height. Very expensive for the... More
