Chequers

Those who think that Fenland is a culinary desert are wrong on several counts, and one of them is the Chequers Inn at Gedney. There are several, well actually six, Gedneys in the area so when you go calling make sure you get the right one.

Collyweston Slater, The

In the days when the famous Collyweston slate 'log' was quarried from a depth of around 38 feet, the men employed to do the job would have been grateful for a drop of something refreshing when they emerged from the grim workings.

Elio's

Since 1983 Elio Grossi has been dispensing Italian bonhomie, cooking and wine, not necessarily in that order, and has built up an impressive dossier of awards, as well as an admiring clientele. All the old favourites are here with some really imaginative additions ranging from baby halibut with pepper sauce to monkfish in leek sauce.

Ernie Beckett

Ernie's is known not only for the sheer excellence of his fish and chips (haddock only, please, which is just as well given the meltdown of the cod stocks), but also the virulent green of his mushy peas.
