The riverside views really added a special touch to my experience
Sometimes, during a long week, you just need to treat yourself to a good, old-fashioned hearty meal. Comfort food at its finest, balanced with a lovely atmosphere and a refreshing drink on a crisp winter’s day.
The Bridge House in St Neots may just be an ideal spot to add to your must-visit list. Offering high-quality, affordable food and the warmest of atmospheres, the restaurant serves traditional pub grub and is situated in the heart of the town.
After taking in the views of the River Great Ouse from the bridge, I headed into the pub where I was greeted and taken to my table. There were some lovely pictures, exposed beams, and a rustic aesthetic that made it feel homely.
After sitting me down and bringing me over a drink, a member of the team took my order. It was definitely one of those times where I had to decide at the last second because I just couldn’t make up my mind between the selection on the menu.
It came down to the steak and ale pie or the classic fish and chips, and my instincts led me to pick the pie. Let me tell you, my instincts were not wrong!
After ordering, the food took around 15 minutes to arrive, and as I was waiting the delicious smells coming from the kitchen made me even more hungry. When the food was placed at my table, I was very impressed.
The creaminess of the mash combined with the golden, crunchy crust of the pie made for a delightful combination. It was just the right amount of gravy for me, so that the flavours came through but not too much that it made the pastry soggy. No one likes a soggy bottom!
The price of the pie was £13.50, which I thought was very reasonable, especially for the portion sizes you get.
As my dining experience went on, more and more people entered the pub, and by the end, there were quite a few customers in the pub. All things considered, if you are looking for a warm and cosy pub with beautiful views, then The Bridge House is worth a trip.
