I had the most delightful evening here, the bar was lovely and made far lovelier by the amazing bartender who made me two bespoke drinks which were both completely delicious. The food was equally fabulous as was the service, who catered to my mum’s allergies with a great attention to detail. 10/10 place !!

We had booked a table well in advance, and as it was a lovely summer evening, we wanted to sit outside. When we were asked upon our arrival about our seating preference, we indicated that accordingly. Somehow I had expected to be taken to the iconic roof terrace, which I had heard about, but instead we were guided to a table on the balcony (on the lower floor). Not sure whether tables on the roof terrace need to be specifically booked in advance, and I guess I should have asked. Anyway – we did very much enjoy the outside table and the view.
Service was ok (though could have been a tad bit more attentive).
The food was great! I ordered the Prime Fillet Steak with mashed potato. The meat was cooked to perfection (medium-rare) and very tender, the mash very smooth and creamy. As a side, I had ordered the Broccoli with Chilli and Garlic, though it was not quite as spicy as I had expected.
But definitely a great meal with a great view, and I will surely come back next time I’m in Cambridge (then perhaps with a table on the roof terrace?).

My partner took me here for my birthday meal and everything was excellent. It was the highlight of my day. We were in one of the domes in the rooftop area and everything along with the view was beautiful. Food was delicious and presented so well! Service was amazing from Shabham and Gabby, they made the experience extra special for me. They were friendly, welcoming and professional. Thank you guys so much!!!! <3

Appalling Experience – Avoid This Place at All Costs
We visited Six in Cambridge for my wife’s birthday with our children, despite the mixed reviews, because she had previously enjoyed it. That decision turned out to be a serious mistake.
Before we had even ordered, the menus were noticeably dirty, which already raised concerns about the restaurant’s overall cleanliness and attention to detail.
From there, things only got worse. A member of staff dropped what looked like whitebait on the floor, and every single employee who walked past simply ignored it. Under our own table, shards of glass were left scattered—an obvious and unacceptable safety hazard, especially with children present.
The food experience was equally disastrous. The ribeye steak, ordered medium rare, arrived rare with fries that were barely warm. When we sent it back, it returned with a completely different sauce than the one we originally ordered. The half chicken with mash was another failure—despite the waitress reconfirming the side, it still arrived with the wrong one.
Adding to the chaos, behind us a bartender decided it was appropriate to kill a spider by dramatically smashing two bar trays together, creating a loud bang in the middle of service. Immediately after, another bar staff member dropped a can which spilled down the side of the bar and onto the floor. Multiple staff members walked past it without a second glance, and when someone finally picked it up, they still didn’t bother cleaning the spill left behind.
The cocktails were no better. The Cherry Bakewell arrived without any amaretto and packed with gin instead—clearly made by someone who didn’t know or didn’t care what the drink was supposed to be.
After raising all of these issues, the manager offered complimentary desserts, yet even those were served incorrectly. At this point it was obvious that the problems run far deeper than isolated mistakes—the entire operation suffers from poor standards, poor training, and a concerning lack of care.
The quality of the food, the service, and the overall hygiene were shockingly poor, especially for a restaurant charging premium prices.
In summary: an appalling experience from start to finish. Do yourself a favour and spend your money anywhere else.

We enjoy a visit to Six for special occasions. The food is always absolutely delicious and piping hot. Last night’s ribeye steak was amazing and so delicious it just melted in the mouth. Huge choice of cocktails to enjoy. Biscoff sundae is a winner!

The hotel absolutely exceeded my expectations.
Beautiful room with a wonderful view of Cambridge’s old buildings.
In the evening, we had the opportunity to enjoy the restaurant, which has a beautiful view of the surrounding area @sixcambridge
The food was top-notch. Whitebait, Sunday roast, and a perfectly matching bottle of South African wine.
Cambridge will remain in my memory forever

Located on the top of the Varsity Hotel, this restaurant has a lovely view of the city and is a really nice place to go for a meal. Service was friendly and food came out relatively fast. We ordered two fish dishes which were both very nice, though it would have been nice if it had come with more on the side (sides have to be ordered separately).

We had a lovely evening for valentines! Would just like to say it wouldn’t have been the same without Bart, he went above and beyond and his customer service is exceptional. Even though the drinks were amazing I don’t think we would have had the same evening without his service! He is truly exceptional. Would give a 10 star for his service if I could! We will be back.
