What Cancan2015 doesn't like about The Golden Ball:
Very underwhelming and disappointing. The roast lamb was served with cauliflower cheese and the vegetables consisted of parsnips and one sliver of carrot. Southern fried chicken and potato wedges were inedible. Wedges were burnt and the whole meal looked as if it had been reheated from a previous occasion . A heavily tattooed waitress came out of the kitchen serving food whilst chewing . Just hope it wasn’t something... View all feedback. What P5728JCstepheno likes about The Golden Ball:
Stayed here after a long journey from Somerset to visit Cambridge. Great location situated between A14 and the park and ride. Quiet and relaxing hotel with fields at back , comfortable and clean room away from the pub. Had an excellent evening meal, breakfast also really good. Service excellent and hosts and staff really nice people. Hopefully can stay again one day. View all feedback.

Nestled in a quaint village, this restaurant presents a diverse menu with classic dishes and a cozy ambiance. While many patrons praise the friendly staff and delicious food—highlighting the juicy meats, fresh vegetables, and generous portion sizes—others have left feeling disappointed. Complaints about meals lacking in quality or presentation, as well as inconsistent service, have surfaced. Despite these mixed reviews, many find the setting charming, with an inviting garden for outdoor dining and a peaceful atmosphere. A visit promises potential delights, but diners may want to approach with tempered expectations. Reservations are recommended due to popularity.
