Nothing delights quite like The Orator, serving up contemporary British food, cocktails, beer and wine. Set in a stunning Victorian gothic venue with high ceilings bathed in swathes of natural light.

We can offer private dining for up to 20 in our private Dining Room used to host guests of the Cambridge Union Society, recently including Dua Lipa and Robert de Niro. For larger groups, we have a number of different rooms throughout the venue to cater for any occasion.

Food options have been better but still not much to choose from. Food needs improvement. Service is better than before. I usually had to wait a long time to get someone but it was easier to get attention.

Fantastic food, every thing we had was cooked to perfection and really tasty. The staff were lovely, attentive but not intrusive. When we arrived I had accidentally booked a table for 2 instead of 3 and they were so accommodating. They were honest about the fact our dishes may take a little longer which giving us the opportunity to order some pre-dinner nibbles which were also delicious. Thoroughly recommend the spiced cashews. The was live music was great and not too loud so we could still hear each other. The decor and ambience was just lovely, the lighting is bright enough to see what you’re eating but not too bright. All in all a wonderful dining experience and will definitely be back.

We had a delicious meal in a great environment with live music and happy customers. Our waitress, Nat, was very attentive and professional as well as personable. Great cocktails, delicious food - perfect sized portions. Highly recommend this venue for an evening out with loved ones and/or friends.

Not a good start as we arrived a couple of minutes before our booked time but were told our table had been allocated to another party and we were offered seating on high chairs in the window. We didn't want to be balancing on high chairs but they did quickly find a table with two sofas facing in the bar area for us to sit at. The food and service were very good.

The food is well cooked and presented and very tasty but the menu has “dumbed down” since we were last here and the choice is not as extensive and some offerings are little more than pub food. (Suggest avoiding the crispy gnocchi which were rubbery). The drinks menu was great! The staff were attentive and lovely and the bill was good value for money. In summary, special for drinks but, unfortunately, not for food anymore.
The OratorA répondu le 3 février 2025
Sorry to hear that our menu didnt hit the spot for you Sarah. We have a new menu launching on the 18th February 2025, hopefully you will come back and try us again then. The Orator team
