I would have liked to give this popular venue 3.5 stars if it were possible because, although decidedly unspectacular in terms of the food, I believe it is filling exactly the niche its proprietors intend and is therefore just that bit above average. It is surprising to find a place like The Pumphouse at Nene Court. Going by the general vibe of the shops and businesses there, you would expect to find an upmarket (or at least 'gentrified ' delicatessen or coffee-shop here but, whilst The Pumphouse looks quite grand from the outside, inside it has the stark atmosphere of a canteen/dining hall. As others have observed, it appears a little down-at-heel and utilitarian in décor. However, as far a...
I was here 4 years ago and vowed I'd be back and I am. Not a lot has changed decor wise which is fine as it is in keeping with the atmosphere of the site. No frills, just honest to goodness well cooked and served food. Bye and large pretty well the same staff, real down to earth characters who have a great customer facing attitude. Nothing is trouble to them. Much wider menu than before with the value for money making this place stand out from much more established high street restaurants. My wife had a roll with sausage fried egg lovely large soft too, 2 sausages and sunny side up egg. A large crispy salad filled the plate. For me? I went for the chicken bacon toasted Club sandwich. 2 White...
WOW what a find. After being refused elsewhere we came across this lovely place, only a few minutes drive from the Premier Inn. We were a group of 19 and they accomodated with ease and a warm smile. Plentiful parking and lovely location. The food is excellent value for money, service was good and such a pleasant venue especially with all the little quotes on the walls. No one in the group complained about the food and we all commented how nice it was. Quite a few of us actually ordered food to take away with us and we will definitely visit again. Thank you
Nice coffee and nice toasted sandwiches with side salad, very reasonably priced, my only criticism really is whilst sitting by the windows I noticed an awful lot of dust and cobwebs on the blinds and plastic plants on the shelves could really do with a deep clean to freshen the place up, won't stop me returning though nice place just in need of a little more attention to the fixtures and fittings.

Popular csfe, particularly with locals and motorcyclists, breakfasts seem to be their stock in trade, though there's plenty other choice. Parking on site, toilet available, quick service and friendly waitresses. Unusual building with plenty of history.
I cannot recommend this venue highly enough. I have oesophagus and can only eat soup. Nowhere I have been will puree soup for me until I got to the pump house. 100% gratitude to them, I can go out again with family and friends and enjoy smooth soup.
The Pump House is really good and worth paying the money for what they offer, my brother in Law and I come here most Sundays and just can not find any faults. The food, the staff and the place are all excellent. Keep up the great service
Always good in here. Arrived early and hung about for a bit waiting for the place to open at 10am. Service was quick and the food good. Could do with more space! Although that’s not their fault, it’s so good they have a lot of customers.

Friendly staff, ample parking, great quality breakfasts at reasonable prices and the coffee is good too. We’ve been several times with family/friends and never had a bad experience!
