The Haywain - Huntingdonshire

We had a 50th birthday party here. Can’t thank Steve and the lovely staff for their hospitality and all the helped . We had a meal that was very good. Great place to have a party or just chill and have some nice food.

Staff lovely but… food used to be good before they changed chefs and over the last 12 months it’s become more disappointing, we used to really like coming here but we’ve now said we will keep away for a few months and then try again. Certain condiments not available because they had ran out. 2for£11 deal only available on about 6 meals. Their meals are not worth full price as one portions are not great and you could cook it better yourself at home. Also massive wait between starters and second meal. The main thing that got us was the foul language allowed by the people in the pub playing darts were we were eating and then the chef walking out of the kitchen to join them, his clothes were scruffy and filthy. Not what you want to see from the person who handles and cooks your food, as well the amount of people walking in and out the kitchen, pretty sure a couple were not staff. No professional at all, I know it’s a pub but seriously needs to improve its standards. When we left we all said “We should have just gone to McDonalds”. WE DON’T EVEN LIKE MCDONALDS.

Have been here a few times and standard very good . Best around for a grill particular there sizzlers . Surprised it was. Not busier on a bank holiday . On edge of town . Well worth going and prices are very reasonable and parking no problem . In my opinion a better alternative to Wetherspoons in town .

All Covid restrictions are being followed and ammended as the rules change. Table service or order on an app, there has been some great deals on the app too so worth getting just for them. Really friendly staff, who are very polite. A local feel pub but one that welcomes everyone, don't feel like the music is going to stop and everyone will stare at you when you walk in. The menu is amazing with a great choice of food, would highly recommend the katsu burger or the mega mix grill. Plenty choice of drinks all reasonable priced. Very safe feeling pub well spaced out masks worn by staff and when moving around in the pub too. Would highly recommend for drinks or food. Good to support this industry at the moment, don't feel it isn't safe.

I never have a bad time at the Haywain, whether with friends or family. The atmosphere is great and the staff are super friendly
