The Merry Monk
30 West Street, Isleham, nr Ely, CB7 5SB
Tucked away in the Cambridgeshire fens, this 17th century pub is today a welcoming inn, renowned for generous portions of reasonably priced, traditional English and French dishes. The ambience, complete with low ceilings, inglenook fireplaces and exposed beams, is positively inviting and unusual features like stainless steel charger plates make a meal at The Merry Monk especially memorable. Coquilles St Jacques - queen scallops seared in a white wine cream sauce - is a popular starter. For mains, slow roasted half a duckling glazed with honey and orange vies for attention with pan-fried line caught sea bass on dauphinoise potatoes with tomato chive and crayfish tails. Round off with treacle and Thai ginger tart with vanilla custard or clotted cream from the venue's dessert list followed by an impressive cheese board.Tucked away in the Cambridgeshire fens, this 17th century pub is today a welcoming inn, renowned for generous portions of reasonably priced, traditional English and French dishes.

REVIEWS OF The Merry Monk
Whitby Smith (22 March 2010)
We had a very nice lunch on Mothering Sunday, there was a good selection of delicious starters to choose from. For the main meal we both had the beef which was cooked to perfection and melted in the mouth. The desserts - again a very good selection that were freshly made. It’s excellent despite being extremely busy.
Lorraine (8 March 2010)
We had the most fantastic meal here on Saturday evening. The starters were beautiful, as for the main course, I had the thin slices of fillet steak Dianne and the rest of my family had the 12 hour cooked pork. The mains were out of this world, truly the best meal I certainly have ever had anywhere. It was fine dining at its best, we were all too full for a pudding but there's always a next time, cant wait! Thank you, the staff were brilliant and the food truly amazing!
