The Almonry is the official café and restaurant attached to Ely Cathedral, and is located within the cathedral 's grounds (behind the building). It 's small, picturesque café that you can relax at after a visit to this magnificent church. Seating out- and inside is limited, so during peak times you 'll probably have to queue for a while to get in. It seems easier to find a table outside, if you 're willing to deal with the wasps in the garden, of which there are many. There 's a board that warns you of that at the entrance to the café. I found this to be no issue at all, but if you 're allergic, avoid the garden. The food menu is mainly confined to various cold and warm sandwiches, which are...
We arrived and saw a sign saying that we had to wait to be seated. After waiting 5 minutes and nobody coming over we eventually had to ask to be sat by walking inside (signage unclear). Really friendly waitress sat us down and gave us our menus. We were then accused of taking a seat ourselves on a table that was not in use (due to low staffing only half the garden was in use) by the manager. I felt unimpressed with the service and almost unwelcome as we were sat on a “closed table”. This lack of staff communication from the manager led to me feeling uncomfortable despite simply sitting where we were told. Understandably they were busy and short staffed but this staff confusion re tables coul...
The Almonry is a traditional restaurant for light lunches, with a cathedral attached. It has a period charm about it which sets it above most of the places in Ely. There are plenty of outdoor tables in the garden for a fine day. The staff are extremely polite and helpful, although occasionally difficult to find. The light meal we had tea/coffee and Coronation chicken baked spud was a long time coming, and the spud was cold. The tiny pat of butter never melted. We only got a small jug of milk between us for a pot of tea and a large coffee. As a result the actual food and drink were disappointing.
The restaurant was very busy but the staff were very attentive despite being very short staffed and having a very rude American woman to deal with. I had speciality quiche and salad followed by date and walnut cake and a mocha coffee. My wife had salmon, prawn and avocado salad followed by millionaires shortbread and a latte coffee. All wonderful and well worth the money. We would definitely return when next in the area. Reserviere jetzt einen Tisch
We had to wait for a table for a while as there wasn't enough staff to clean the tables and then got asked if we wanted to share the table we were shown to erm no way! Service was dreadfully slow, they got my order wrong and I didn't get crisps with the tiny roll either (nearly £10 for a tiny roll!!! . Dreadfully overpriced and service was awful. Had to ask twice for the bill so we could leave. Go somewhere else!
We had a pleasant lunch at this restaurant, with reasonably priced and attractively presented dishes. However, the standard tomatoes in the salad were disappointing; it would be an improvement to use vine-ripened or local tomatoes when they are in season. We hope that the restaurant is able to hire more staff so they can make use of their lovely outdoor tables again.
This restaurant is a great spot with welcoming staff, affordable prices, and delicious food. The standout feature, however, is their exceptional coffee. If you appreciate a quality cup of coffee that isn't the typical weak, milky latte, then this place is a must-visit.
Cheese scones here are the best we have ever tasted. Elsewhere we have often been disappointed, but here the6 are crème de La crème of scones. Service great, lovely environment. Reserviere jetzt einen Tisch
We were lucky to secure a table for lunch as the restaurant was bustling. I thoroughly enjoyed my cheese scone, while my husband savored his gluten-free sandwich.
We had an excellent afternoon tea in the undercroft. The service was friendly and efficient and all the food was delicious.
