The Almonry in East Cambridgeshire

Absolutely lovely stop for lunch or tea. It had ample seating indoors and outdoors (outdoors with a beautiful view of the cathedral), and good food portions for moderate price.

I like it but they are quite expensive for just a tea and sandwich and the bread was nothing special but was fresh. The teapot was tiny so a pot of tea will only give you 2 small cups....not as much as a decent mug. I had to eat outside because I had my dog with me.....they do have the rooms to allow one to be pet friendly like the peacocks tearoom at the maltings, but dogs are not allowed inside. They did, however, happily give my dog a bowl of water and a chew, which he appreciated. Fortunately the weather was good but I don't use this place when he weather means that I can't sit outside.

Excellent garden, good staff and the food was very good value

My friends had their wedding reception here...just a small gathering for afternoon tea. It was absolutely lovely. Plenty of delicious food, tea and coffee ... The staff were very helpful and attentive. The gardens back onto Ely Cathedral; the perfect spot for the photographs or just sit and have a coffee. Highly recommend

Really loved our experience at the Almonry. They were short on staff and there was a small wait to get in (even though we had booked a table there was still a wait) but once we were seated it was as expected. We had afternoon tea for 6, there was plenty of food for everyone, plus teas, coffee and an apple juice for my daughter. Very pleasant, will very likely go there again.

Lovely calm and tranquil place fir lunch. Superb food at a reasonable price Very friendly and attentive service.

Vaulted ceilings give The Almonry a unique ambience, with a light, airy atmosphere.The filter coffee was nice and rich, with extra value delivered by a lower priced refill.We were waiting a while to be served, but it was a busy afternoon.If you're visiting Ely Cathedral, it is well worth stopping off here.

Crypt like architecture, but with white painted wall, it is light inside. Lovely location with plenty of outdoor seating when the weather allows.

This is a wonderful spot for lunch or just a cuppa. I'm keen to go back for afternoon tea. We were seated outside and it was just lovely. It took a bit long for our order to be taken and for our bill (not for lack of trying to flag someone down), but the overall atmosphere made of for that. We will definitely go back.

Lovely views of the cathedral from the Almonry gardens, and you can sit outside to enjoy them if the weather permits. We enjoyed a Panini lunch in the vaulted part of the building, but it was quite busy (on a Tuesday, too!) so we had to queue for about 10-15 mins until a table became free: it would be worth booking if you wanted to avoid waiting and be sure of a table.
