Montagu Arms, Peterborough

Called into this 2019 Good Beer Guide pub yesterday and we enjoyed our Digfield Fools Nook beer. The pub has low ceilings and exposed beams, a bar area and restaurant area. Garden area at the rear.

I Read the below link and thought this place would be a quaint country pub with some character flaws...... Unfortunately It's much much worse!!! The dining area is like a really bad community centre, the carpets are grubby and stained, they look like a rugby team have been dancing on them in their muddy kit, The 2 sections of the front bar is like a really bad kitchen So looks and atmosphere wise this pub is the pits! All the tables look like they have come from a charity shop but all different, my table was actually broken but I didn't want to spend anylonger their than needed! As for food, I Eat litterally anything I'm not fussy as long as its warm i'll eat it, but I had the fish here and it was awful It was served with 3 tiny baby potatoes and what looked like a bag of steamed veg!I had to leave it, My starter was some Sweet crunchy salad mix from a bag, squeezy sweet chilli sauce and a sliced up pitta bread with a tiny portion of halloumi (Edible but just awful!!!!)for a desert I really wanted something hot to try and take the taste of the fish away (Thinking of it now even makes me feel sick) but I decided to stick to the cheese board as i'd been dissapointed enough for one evening, but the stilton did manage to over power my taste buds so that's alright.... All in all the only reason I have scored this pub so highly is because it does actually look nice from the outside.....Oh and if you don't like cat's dogs in the dining area don't go here! We had both a cat and a dog in the dining room whilst we were eating but to be honest by now nothing would have surprised me!!!! NEVER AGAIN!
