Restaurant with rooms,
Fen Ditton, Cambridge
Curated flavours, minimal waste
The entire table must select the
same matching number of courses menu.
Please note that our menu changes very frequently due to seasonality and availability and these menus should only be viewed as a sample – not as the current menu. Please contact us if you require a copy of our current menu. Please note that the same menu must be taken by the whole table.
As we just offer set menus, we try to make the fewest number of changes possible when accommodating dietary restrictions, so that our guests may enjoy the experience as originally intended. If the dietary requirements dictate comprehensive changes in the menu that will result in a compromise of standards, we may not be able to accommodate your request. We are not able to make substitutions for aversions but we are able to make accommodations for certain common dietary restrictions (vegetarian, pescatarian (the menu will be mostly vegetarian with some fish elements) but we must know when booking.
Due to some elements being integral to the menu, we are not able to eliminate them completely and therefore cannot cater for allergies to the following:-
Garlic, onion, vinegars, sugar, cooked alcohol & citrus
If you have a more unusual dietary requirement, please check with us before booking to avoid disappointment. To keep waste to a minimum we only keep in stock what is on the menu at the time and so we will not be able to cater for unannounced dietary requirements.
We treat our guest’s safety with the utmost seriousness but due to the size of the kitchen and complexity of our menu we cannot guarantee that we work in a nut, dairy, gluten or allergen free environment and cannot guarantee against cross contamination. Therefore we cannot accommodate a severe or life threatening allergy (including coeliac disease).
We’re open for lunch & dinner Thursday through Saturday, offering three tasting menu options. It’s worth noting that our kitchen focuses entirely on tasting menus – it’s what we do best, and frankly, what gets us most excited. However we do open for a 3 course Sunday lunch alongside our 5 course tasting menu.
Children are welcome to dine at Ancient Shepherds, but we do not offer a dedicated children’s menu. If children are joining but do not plan to dine, please make us aware at the time of making the reservation, as this will be subject to availability.
