If you're looking for a restaurant run by a renowned Michelin-starred chef with sensible prices in Cambridgeshire, then look no further.
What was once a historic village pub, the Ancient Shepherds, in Fen Ditton is now a modern restaurant which it opened its doors last year.
Mark Poynton heads up the restaurant which is based on the site of his former eatery MJP The Shepherds.
Boasting seasonal menus and a choice of three, five or seven courses, the restaurant offers a refined dining experience in a beautiful setting.
The menus make use of ingredients grown in the kitchen garden, with trusted suppliers providing the rest.
Mr Poynton recently won a Michelin star for his Norwich restaurant, Mark Poynton at Caistor Hall.
He works alongside Chris Lee, who has held three AA rosettes for more than a decade at restaurants and pubs around Suffolk including the Bidleston Crown, in Suffolk.
The menu makes use of ingredients grown in the kitchen garden, with trusted suppliers providing the rest.
Five guest rooms are also available to book, with or without a dining experience.
'As close to Michelin as you'll get for a sensible price'
It is perhaps unsurprising the Ancient Shepherds boasts a rating of 4.5 out of 5 on Tripadvisor with more than 110 'excellent' reviews.
Meanwhile, it has 4.5 stars out of 5 based off 400 visitor reviews on Google.
Posting on Tripadvisor, one visitor said: "Enjoyed a super evening here for a birthday meal.
