The Chubby Castor of the Fitzwilliam Arms

This was my second visit to The Chubby Castor and I went for the à la carte instead of the tasting menu this time. I much preferred it, as the portion sizes are more generous and you can choose exactly what you like. The scallops to start were excellent and the beef main was cooked to perfection. Every dish was beautifully presented and full of flavour. Service was attentive and professional without being over the top, and the thatched building makes for a lovely setting. It is on the pricier side, but the quality of the food and overall experience make it well worth it. Easily one of the best dining spots around Peterborough and somewhere I’ll keep coming back to.

An absolutely fantastic experience in every way. Each course was delicious, far exceeding our expectations, and the surprise dishes brought out in-between courses topped off a lovely dining experience. Everything we ate was faultless in both presentation and flavour. We were served the 3-course plant-based menu by Gina who was friendly, approachable, and informative from the minute we sat down. She was also happy to arrange a little something to wish a "Happy Birthday" to my partner which topped off a wonderful evening. Having never tried a restaurant of this calibre before, I was initially quite skeptical beforehand. But having experienced the brilliant service and delicious food, I wouldn't hesitate to return and to recommend this restaurant to family & friends.

My family and I dined at The Chubby Castor and were completely blown away by the amazing service and delicious food. Every dish was made using high quality ingredients and the food was both made and served with love. Extra impressed that many of the fresh produce we were served as part of our meal, was grown on the restaurant grounds. On top of that, everything was so clean and to a high standard - even the outdoor toilets! I will definitely be back!

Great experience and amazing food on the taster menu and the classic wine pairing is perfect. Staff very attentive and knowledgeable. Beautiful setting.

I took my mother here to celebrate her 90th birthday. What an exceptionally wonderful restaurant and located near Peterborough of all things. This is a Michelin level restaurant and for a reason. Their menu is exceptional. Location is a beautiful old thatched building and easy to get to. Staff were professional and efficient. Highly recommend this fine restaurant.

Such lovely food, presentation and service. We had vegetarian 5 course blind menu. Each course was a delight.

Travelled from London upon the recommendation of a friend and subsequent reviews. Was not disappointed. Great food and atmosphere. Staff a very knowledgeable about the dishes and where ingredients are sourced. High quality. All seasonal produce so tasted so fresh. Drinks selection also varied so something for everyone. If unsure, get a recommendation from bar staff, you will be pleasantly surprised. This a real gem of a spot for fine dining and worth the drive.

This was a stunning find from my husband as a birthday treat. The staff were so welcoming and attentive. The venue was cozy pub/sleek restaurant. The food was amazing and wine choice to match. Can not compliment the staff enough, they were so efficient and engaged with us. Very knowledgeable on all the food. Now to the food, absolutely amazing and such an amazing surprise. I cannot compliment the chef enough, each course was stunning and the surprise of flavours and amazing balance for courses was so amazing.
