Best Restaurants for Outdoor Dining in Fowlmere

We were greeted by a cheerful Father Christmas and shown to our table, the waiting staff were very attentive without being “too much!” The food was excellent- great choices on the menu and something for everyone of our party of 8. This is our group’s 3rd year of meeting here before Christmas - it must be our new tradition? Many thanks for all the staff’s hard work!

The food and cocktails were delicious, but what made this evening so special were the staff (our waitress was particularly fabulous, so wish I'd got her name) and the overall atmosphere. Gorgeous seating, lovely furniture, a variety of areas to eat, drink and socialise. The history of the building and pictures on the wall were a great talking point. The ability to play the piano, just made it! We will be back. Thanks so much :-)

Lovely pub, lovely staff, great food, great ambience. A bit in the expensive side but that's true with most things lately. We were a group of 9 having our Xmas office lunch, we were seen to really quickly, the wait for the food and drinks was minimal, we award all really pleased with our mains, would return tomorrow! Fully recommended!

Ourselves and two other couples get together once a month for a meal at different restaurants and pubs. We chose the Sword in Hand as it has a good reputation for food, and isn’t far from where we live. The meal was exquisite, 4 of us having the “Christmas pie” and thoroughly enjoyed it. The other 2 had chicken schnitzel, and fish and chips, who also had no complaints. The service was impeccable, giving extra commendation to the younger staff who were very attentive, ensuring we were happy with the meals and drinks. I would definitely recommend a visit.

Had the Festive Menu of Roast Turkey followed by Gingerbread Cake. Very impressed, all well cooked & tasty. Fresh ingredients. Excellent service in a lovely setting. Reasonable priced.
