About this restaurant

Good for special occasions
Innovative
Romantic

The Pheasant started serving top quality food in 1964, before the term gastro-pub had been invented. It"s a beautiful, thatched, traditional inn, 12 miles west of Huntingdon, set in a sleepy farming village. The large bar is a traditional and unspoilt mixture of oak beams, large open fires and simple wooden furniture. At the rear there's a more airy Garden Room with a sunny and stylish patio garden beyond.

The Hoskins family ran it until 2007 - and now (in 2012) have it back, with Simon Cadge as Chef Patron. Great food, a genuinely warm welcome, real ales, award-winning wine list, log fires and a herb garden. Everything you would hope for in a country inn.

** Winner of ‘ Cambridgeshire Dining Pub of the Year 2016’ ( by the good Pub guide) **

Lovely main meal but service was poor. Staff should invest in the use of note pads to assist them !

We hadn't been out to The Pheasant for a couple of years but pleased to say we weren't disappointed and it was as good as ever. Great food, great service, and lovely surroundings both inside and outside. A great way to spend our Wedding Anniversary.

Great food, good beer and wine. Watch out for the starter portion sizes which are generous - which left no real room for dessert. Though we shared a couple between us anyway as they sounded, and tasted, great too!

We have been eating at the Pheasant for many years now. As usual Sunday lunch was excellent. We are moving to Norfolk now but very much hope to visit again when in the area.

The Pheasant always delivers a great dining experience. The menu is creative and always being updated - I have dined here twice in the last 4 weeks and been offered/ate different vegetarian options on both occasions- both meals were fantastic, nothing bland or “standard vegetarian” here. The wine list compliments the high standard of cooking perfectly, as does the service. The Pheasant has no faults and if I lived in Keyston i would probably eat there every night!

Great food and wine as always. Staff friendly and attentive without being obtrusive. Menu covers good range of traditional meals and something different. Certainly one of the places to go in the area for good food whether special occasion or just to meet up with friends and family.

A lovely feeling pub, great selection of drinks, with friendly and welcoming staff. The food selection was good, an additional veggie option would have been great. The food was delicious but I and several members of the party thought it was slightly over priced. We had a lovely evening and would recommend the Pheasant at Keyston.

I’ve been dining here since I was a child..not that long ago!! Quality of service and food has always lived up to expectation. The staff are always welcoming and helpful. The quality of food / menus have proven great value compared to other local options.
