The Old DairyElton Hall Est, Peterborough, PE8 6SQ

I have been to this restaurant many time over the past 9 years; new years day 2009 was the last straw. The food for six was only just warm, the restuarant was cold, the service was slow, and the food was disappointing. After three courses all 3 men left the restaurant feeling hungry, a very expensive and disappointing meal

I recently treated myself and my partner to a meal at the Loch Fyne and took advantage of their Summer offer of 2 courses for £11 which included a glass of wine. I had wanted to try out the restaurant for a while and it was the offer that got my to take action. We loved the style of the restaurant, the staff were very friendly and the service was excellent. The food was tasty and the wine well chilled. It was excellent value at £11. I liked the ambience of the place and it can cater for larger groups too so I will be going back. Also hope they do another offer!

I have been a regular to this Loch Fyne location for the past five years. Recently I took some business colleagues there for lucnh on a weekday. As usual the staff were efficient and sat us at our table. We ordered our starters, main courses and drinks and engaged in some chat.

However, the problems started when some of the starters did not arrive quite as decsribed on the menu. For instance the pate was to be served with oatcakes, but came with hunks of bread instead. Not being a major thing, we awaited the main course.
The plaice I ordered looked great with the skin still on, but the flesh was overcooked and was soggy. I have never experienced soggy fish before and this was being served at a fish reataurant! A colleague had crab and was satisfied with his choice, but another was disappointed with the bass he ordered.

I will still give the Loch Fyne another chance, but I think I will stick to going there in the evenings.

Given a perceived notion that Loch Fyne restaurants are expensive and the service is poor, this establishment really pulled out the stops for us. We had two courses for £11 plus a glass of wine. I had the smoked salmon pate followed by a whole plaice fried in butter. The other family members had some excellent mussels then poached sea trout. Plus coffees the bill for four came to around £50.

The main attraction was the sheer quality of the food. It was mega-fresh. The staff were friendly and attentive.
