We came for the valentines menu as it was an extremely good selection and the price was very reasonable for three courses
having wanted to try the food for a while
we were certainly not disappointed
the restaurant was spotless and the food was flawless
the waitress was really lovely too
nothing was too much trouble
I'll definitely look forward to visiting again
thank you for a lovely experience xx

The Exhibition is a wonderful gastropub. The welcome was warm and friendly, the staff are professional, the food is quite magnificent and the value for money is exceptional. It took 2 hours to get there and it was well worth the journey. I'm already looking forward to my next visit.

Went into the exhibition today around 5:30 to meet up with family who had been in there a few hours prior having drinks outside.
We are regulars who go in there at least once a week whether it be in the day for a drink or early evening for dinner as it is a family friendly and dog friendly pub.
Never had any problems in there before, the lady who is always working is super nice and accommodating, always chatting away and lovely to my daughter.
I even had a gender reveal party for my daughter in there and we?ve been in there on Christmas Day!!!
Today we had some drinks outside, then went into the bar to have some dinner early evening time. The bar was busy & super noisy there was workmen drinking at the bar, family?s next to us with children playing, dogs sat in there, etc.
When I went to order our dinner at the bar there was about 5 people serving and a child ran behind the bar! Just to give an idea of how busy and loud it was!
Start eating our dinner and my daughter started crying, she cried for a maximum of 1 minute before she stopped and was absolutely fine. We also didn?t just leave her there crying, we were sorting her out! She is 13 months old, she can?t talk, can?t communicate any other way but crying!? So she?s bound to cry at one point? Considering it?s a family friendly pub they should be expecting this.
The owner Paul then comes over to us, tells us to be considerate to other people in the pub, he said that he has kids - Not sure why he said that because then he clearly knows that children cry. Was just being down right rude to me for no reason considering she hasn?t even cried that long.
I was shocked I didn?t know what to say to him, I couldn?t believe he?d actually said that as I didn?t see any issue in how long she?d cried for!
We asked the table next to us if they had been bothered by her crying that didn?t even last a minute and they didn?t even know what we were talking about - probably because it is a pub and so noisy anyway!!
I would understand if she was crying for a long time and I didn?t do anything about it but for all of 1 minute I?m not going to go outside whilst I?m mid eating my dinner just to walk back in again! If she?d of continued to cry then of course I?d of gone outside to calm her down!
I honestly don?t know why he said it to us, if he?s a parent himself then surely he knows that situations like that can be so tough for parents. But what are we suppose to do? Never go out for dinner again?
As I walked out I said to Paul ?happy now? and he waved me off ?
I?ve spoke to people about what happened and a lot of people seem to dislike Paul and also say they won?t go in there when he?s in there! Wonder why.
Honestly the whole thing was a complete joke and I will not be stepping foot in there if he?s in there.

Had a lovely few drinks outside today. Family members joined with a 13 month old baby . Went inside , bar side and ordered food early evening. The bar was full of men who had clearly just finished work very loud and swearing. Table beside us full of quite loud children. We order food, as it arrives the 13 month cries for maybe a minute max! Owner Paul comes over and asks us to
Be considerate to others in bar !! My god it?s so noisy !! Ask the two lady diners beside us if we have disturbed them and they are confused and ask what we are on about !! We go there a lot?.wont be eating there again.,? complete joke today !!! Shame on you !!!

Nice atmosphere and friendly service but unfortunately the food was not great . Aubergine Parmigiana was disappointing with hard undercooked aubergines mixed into a sauce . Please recognise that Rice and peas when served with ?Jamaican ? curry goat should not mean green garden peas stirred through rice - not impressed

My home from home in Godmanchester, complete with extended family.
Cannot fault any aspect of this amazing establishment,
The food is always brilliant (thanks to Colin the chef), the service is great (Cas, Caz and the team) and the atmosphere is also welcoming and fun (thanks to owner Paul and the remarkable work he has put in over the years).
There is a lovely and functional garden, great menu and good selection of drinks. They are also great at events (well, at least the ones I have been to are amazing) and also as somewhere to drop into last minute.
Hope it lasts for a long time.

Shame! Even the simplest basics are crucial! Toast your bun to prevent sogginess, cook your fries so they aren't hard, and flatten your burger to keep it from falling apart while eating.
