Cambridge comes out poorly in the new ‘Good Food Guide’; two entries are dropped leaving the city with just one restaurant, the ‘unusually suave’ Peking Chinese Restaurant in Burleigh Street, and one pub, the Fort St George. Out go the Strudel’s Restaurant in Fitzroy Street and the Golden Palace Chinese restaurant in Ely together with the Eagle in Bene’t Street and the Plough at Coton. Old favourites which retain their rating include the Old Fire Engine House at Ely, the Old Bridge Hotel Huntingdon and the Hotel de la Poste, Swavesey. The Pink Geranium at Melbourn gets the humbler ‘Pass’ rating.
