Circa 1852 Coffee Shop

We arranged to meet friends from Scotland at Peterborough train station and this looked like a great place to have lunch. Convenient for the station,parking,and the lunch menu looked good.It was VERY disappointing. Over priced,below average food and rude staff.

Had a most enjoyable meal from the 1852 menu that being the year the hotel opened and the price of the meal which included a half bottle of wine from a selection of wines.The meal and the service was excellent in very attractive surroundings. Would highly recommend.

my wife and I had the pleasure of eating here last Saturday . The steaks were perfectly cooked , and the portions were large . The wild mushrooms starter was a joy , followed by an apple crumble , and home made cheesecake . Are waitress could not have been more attentive , happy smiling from start to finish excellent !

Hotel from the outside looks very impressive. First minus I came for a dinner for two, hotel has car park, but I need to pay for it. Second minus ordered lamb was inside cold! Third the big minus very dirty and stinky toilets. And last minus long waiting for a bill and no staff to ask for, just empty bar. For staff I asked someone in the hotel reception.

Popped in for a sandwich on my way to London on the train. Waited for 10 minutes at the counter before an off duty chef went to see if there was anyone to serve me. When I'd ordered the waiting really started. My sandwich took 25 minutes to arrive by which time I'd drunk my coffee! Good job I didn't have an earlier train to catch. Having said all that, the sandwich was very nice with salad garnish etc well presented. Just don't go there if you're in a hurry.

I would like to take this opportunity to lavish praise upon all those members of staff that made our stay Sunday the 11th to Monday the 12th of January. It was my wife's birthday. We were both very impressed with the level of attention that we received starting from the point at which I booked our evening meal. The food in your restaurant was exceptional, with a wide variety of dishes to choose from. There was a lovely ambience about the restaurant and we will definitely be returning with friends and family in the future. Speisekarte ansehen

Had a long time to wait for a connecting train and just as well we did- service in the main restaurant was very slow (despite us being the only people in the restaurant for the first 30 mins at 1630 hours) and food was disappointing. Husband's starter (mushrooms on toast) was so soaked in oil, it was inedible. Chips were awful and the salad (lettuce leaves were less than fresh) We had to remind them of our tea/coffee order 45 mins after ordering it. From the strength of the tea, it had probably been prepared a long time before we received the drinks! The staff were very pleasant but had clearly not been trained properly.

my wife I recently stayed at the Great Northern hotel in Peterborough. After wandering around town and finding nowhere to eat that caught our eye, we decided to dine at the hotels restaurant 1852, which had received some good reviews. We booked in for 7:30pm was told that they were running an offer for May June, which was three courses plus a half bottle of wine for £18.52 per person !!!We were presented with three excellent courses each plus half a bottle of wine each. Unlike some of the brand names, just because you are using a voucher you weren't presented with smaller portions. in fact we both had to leave some of the Maine course as we were absolutely stuffed but had still ate more than...

Dined here on a Groupon deal that covered three courses. Often, such deals only grant access to a limited menu, but this particular one covered pretty much everything that was on offer, with the minimum of extra supplements required. The restaurant is situated in the hotel directly opposite Peterborough train station, and the hotel itself provides free parking (as long as you validate your ticket at reception afterwards). This puts it in a great position; however the standard of food is merely okay and the service from the staff wasn't exactly anything to enthuse about. The dining room itself is large, albeit fairly unassuming and showing some real signs of dilapidation around the edges. The... Speisekarte ansehen
