We stopped in for lunch one weekday and sat in the lovely courtyard. We were served by Deniz, who was
wonderfully warm and considerate. She took particular care to make sure our 4 year old was comfy. The
food was very good, particularly the scotch eggs, and the sea bass with chorizo. Also had a nice selection
of ales.

Really excellent meal at Little Rose tonight. We had the jumbo tiger prawns and the halibut from the specials menu as well as the smoked salmon starter and all three were amazing. Beautifully cooked, wonderful flavour. Desserts were also lovely; the sticky toffee pudding was genuinely one of the best I’ve ever had. Cozy atmosphere, attentive service (the side of fries came out late and the manager came to tell us it was taken off our bill without us saying a word of complaint). I would highly recommend this restaurant and hope to come back soon myself!

Dropped in on Saturday evening without a reservation. Very friendly and helpful staff. Nice selection of dishes and a cosy restaurant feeling.
Dropped a star due to our table which was very small and really close to another, and my wife's food came out of the kitchen a bit on the cold side; mine was perfect.
Would eat here again.

Had a very good meal here in cosy surroundings. The staff were very welcoming and helpful. Great menu choices. I had the soft shell crab burger which was very tasty. My friend really enjoyed the green Thai curry. The puddings, sticky toffee pudding and cheese cake were delicious. The cocktails were great too.

I love sea food very much but I have never eaten as delicious Oysters as I had in Little Rose. And their Fish &Chips!…. No words can describe how different it was from all the Fish & Chips I have ever had around the country. Unless you try it yourself you wouldn’t understand what I mean.
Staff was amazing,so welcoming,relaxed and friendly. Cocktails was so enjoyable.
Price was so reasonable too.
Definitely will be visiting Cambridge specially for Little Rose.

Was visiting Cambridge and decided to stop by for fish and chips. It was great as stated by prior reviewers. Staff was also exceptional, espicially Georgia as she was attentive and friendly.

Excellent food. Dont forget the desert. Very nice staff. If you are near the Fitzwilliam museum it's right across the street.

The interior design is a great improvement from when it was Loch Fyne and there is much better use of the space. The service is always lovely, the staff are welcoming. The menu has plenty of options however only 2 mains for vegans: Roast squash gnocchi, chestnuts, sage, toasted seeds and Potato & beetroot curry, candied cashews, coconut rice, kale pakora. The 2 vegan dishes that were on the Loch Fyne menu were also gnocchi and curry so it feels lazy that they’re so similar. They could definitely add some more interesting and tastier plant-based dishes. They’re not necessarily bad at the moment, but are lacking that OOMPH I get from the other dishes. Although, everything else I’ve tried from the menu has been delightful so far.
Here’s some starters I recommend:
• Potted duck & pistachio, orange marmalade, truffle butter, brioche (however the brioche could be served toasted, or change the brand)
• Burrata, roast beetroot & orange, toasted hazelnuts, salted cracker
• Crab Thermidor tart, crispy kale (beautiful!)
• Smoked mackerel arancini, Parmesan, chipotle aioli
If you are to visit as a group, I highly recommend ordering a few starters and maybe 1 or 2 mains to share between you rather than getting 1 starter each and a main each. The mains are good, but the starters are amazing and you wanna try as many starters as possible. It’s also more economic.
From the mains, give these a try:
• Crab bisque linguini, Romano peppers, basil, Parmesan
• Maple glazed porchetta, smoked garlic potato, puffed crackling, apple gravy
• Tandoori mutton pie, saffron crushed potatoes, mint yoghurt
Overall, I was very impressed with the quality of the food and the service. It may feel expensive, but come in Monday-Friday between 12 and 6pm and there is a set menu available: 2 courses for £20, or 3 courses for £25. PLEASE change the vegan options and add more of them. It wouldn’t hurt to get rid of one or two meat dishes and have 4 vegan dishes. Your vegan customers will be very happy about it, I’m sure, and you’ll have more omnivores going for the vegan option too. Another complaint I have is the music, it wouldn’t hurt to refresh the playlist every once in a while. Play more sophisticated music: smooth jazz, ambient, soul, etc. I’d be happy to make the new playlist for free! Great job with the new place, guys. I will definitely be coming again, thank you!
