Floods Tavern — Restaurant in Huntingdonshire

A sunny Saturday lunchtime was spent here in their beer garden.

We brought some family with us and booked a river view table with ease. The staff were very accommodating about our preference. The garden fills quickly and you’ll appreciate why when you visit. It has a relaxed vibe and its good for families.

Fish and chips, scampi and squid were all really nicely prepared, looking very appetizing on arrival to our table.

Only thing I’d say is that the parasols for the tables, whilst readily available, can’t be secured in a way that stops them blowing about in the wind. We had to take turns holding on to it. My pale husband had his factor 50 on, so in the end we gave up on the parasol so we could focus on our lovely meal.

We left satisfied and happy....

Hubby had lasagne which was bland and dry. Sorry Floods Tavern, appreciate you were busy, but no excuse to serve poor food. Views made it...

Floods is a hidden gem right on the river, tucked away from the high street, in the middle of St Ives. We went on a warm June Sunday and found the atmosphere relaxed and comfortable, with a nice buzz. The staff were friendly, experienced, and professional. The food was good - We had Ceasar salad, burger, and fish and chips. Drink prices were reasonable, and the beer was cold. The pub apparently has live music on occasion, but there was none the day we were there. We found it to be a pleasant family venue (at least on warm Sundays), and we would definitely recommend it. It is also an easy walk from a car park which is free on.Sundays, and after 18:00 in...
