Peterborough

I'm off to Peterborough on Saturday for the Speedway Four Team Tournament being held at the East Of England Showground.

I'm staying at the Premier Inn at Ferry Meadows.

I was wondering if anybody has been here or is in the surrounding area that can recommend places to go for a nice meal on the Sunday Evening.

I'm excited to go but as I'm not familiar with the area any advice would be welcomed. I did google it but I didn't find it much help.

TIA

The granary Beefeater is a nice pub, and has a great beer garden with a view of the 18th hole of Orton Meadows golf course. I can't comment on the food, but I'd recommend going for a drink there if it's sunny.

Have a nice time!

Sounds good! We have a Beefeater here and the food is usually very good, so hopefully will be similar. Thank you for the advice Iholmes90.
I'm sure I will :)

I love this Loch Fyne Restaurant - it's one of their best :

Ten minutes from your Premier Inn

[ always worth googling for their discount offers too ]

Thank you Gness...I will certainly investigate, it looks lovely! Will see what OH wants to do as well.

Hi again, Queenie....just had a chat with my brother who lives nearby....they eat at the Granary about twice a month and like it......so as it's within staggering distance and Iholmes recommends it too I think it's a good choice.....x

[queenofmean]

I shall check that out then Gness. Many thanks x

The Granary is very good as is Loch Fyne. Just up the road from the Granary at Alwaton is The Cuckoo, its by the Show Ground, and the food is good.

I'm sure I'll be able to find some where then ;)

Thank you for the suggestions....will let you all know how we get on

Only prob with the Granary is it gets absolutely loused out with golfers. (I dont have a problem with golfers, per se, it just gets busy).

You could try the Boat House at Thorpe Meadows which is about 5 mins drive.

Orton Hall Hotel has a bistro pub attached which is quite nice. Beautiful building.

The Windmill at Cherry Orton is lovely.

Completely agree with Loch Fyne - about 10 mins from the Showground.
Completely agree with The Cuckoo - although beware gets REALLY busy when there is stuff on at the showground.

If you want to sample local food in a beautiful setting you could try

The Falcon at Fotheringhay (Pricy but worth it)
The Red Lion at Warmington
The Chequered Skipper at Ashton
The Kings Head at Apethorpe

If you do any of the latter four, you get to see some of our rolling countryside, beautiful limestone and collyweston stone slate buildings and more than likely a few circling red kites and buzzards.

Thank you Barmaid for your suggestions. I will certainly look into it.

Thank you too for the heads up about certain places being busy - always handy to know!

No problem, Queenie. I think the best tip when travelling is to eat where the locals eat.........
