The Almonry - Reservar uma mesa

The Almonry is the official café and restaurant attached to Ely Cathedral, and is located within the cathedral 's grounds (behind the building). It 's small, picturesque café that you can relax at after a visit to this magnificent church. Seating out- and inside is limited, so during peak times you 'll probably have to queue for a while to get in. It seems easier to find a table outside, if you 're willing to deal with the wasps in the garden, of which there are many. There 's a board that warns you of that at the entrance to the café. I found this to be no issue at all, but if you 're allergic, avoid the garden. The food menu is mainly confined to various cold and warm sandwiches, which aren 't exactly cheap, but good. I had the Pulled Pork Brioche Burger , which was nice, and it came with a side salad and a dollop of sour apple jam, which greatly added to the flavour of the burger (It 's served separately). Yo can also pick from a variety of desserts. Generally good and very friendly service. If you 're a beer lover, you 're out of luck though: Only a bottle of the dreaded Sharpe 's Doom Bar is on the menu.

The Almonry is a traditional restaurant for light lunches, with a cathedral attached. It has a period charm about it which sets it above most of the places in Ely. There are plenty of outdoor tables in the garden for a fine day. The staff are extremely polite and helpful, although occasionally difficult to find. The light meal we had tea/coffee and Coronation chicken baked spud was a long time coming, and the spud was cold. The tiny pat of butter never melted. We only got a small jug of milk between us for a pot of tea and a large coffee. As a result the actual food and drink were disappointing.

The restaurant was very busy but the staff were very attentive despite being very short staffed and having a very rude American woman to deal with. I had speciality quiche and salad followed by date and walnut cake and a mocha coffee. My wife had salmon, prawn and avocado salad followed by millionaires shortbread and a latte coffee. All wonderful and well worth the money. We would definitely return when next in the area.

We had to wait for a table for a while as there wasn't enough staff to clean the tables and then got asked if we wanted to share the table we were shown to erm no way! Service was dreadfully slow, they got my order wrong and I didn't get crisps with the tiny roll either (nearly £10 for a tiny roll!!! . Dreadfully overpriced and service was awful. Had to ask twice for the bill so we could leave. Go somewhere else!

We had an excellent afternoon tea in the undercroft. The service was friendly and efficient and all the food was delicious.
