Poets House Hotel and Restaurant

Went for Christmas dinner last night and had a wonderful time. We have eaten here many times over the years and have never been disappointed with the food or the level of service. We would highly recommend The Poets House Ely to anyone who loves good food in a great location with wonderful staff.

Sunday Roast at Poets House – A Pleasant Surprise Visited Poets House today for a Sunday roast after a recommendation, and I’m very glad I did. From the moment we walked in, the interior was a pleasant surprise—elegant yet relaxed, with enough space to feel comfortable. We weren’t squashed in, and could actually hold a conversation without having to ask each other to repeat ourselves—a rare treat these days. The staff were exceptionally polite and attentive throughout, striking that perfect balance of professionalism and friendliness. A particular highlight: the food was served on hot plates. It might seem a small detail, but it makes a big difference—nothing worse than a great meal going lukewarm on a cold dish. As for the roast itself? Extremely nice. Generous portions, beautifully cooked, and thoroughly enjoyable. I’d wholeheartedly recommend Poets House to anyone looking for a proper Sunday roast in a refined yet welcoming setting. I’ll definitely be returning.
