The Cherry House at Werrington is an English fine dining restaurant housed in a 400-year-old thatched building in Werrington, just outside Peterborough, combining historic charm with a focus on modern British dining.
The menu at The Cherry House is rooted in classic British cuisine with a contemporary twist. Dishes are prepared using fresh, seasonal ingredients, and the menu changes regularly to reflect availability. Starters, mains, and desserts are offered, with a focus on thoughtful presentation and balanced flavours. Dishes on the menu include homemade chicken liver parfait with toasted brioche, smoked salmon, prawn and white crab meat mille-feuille, grilled fillet of salmon on a pillow of samphire, and canon of English lamb with stilton gratin and rosemary jus. Desserts are equally indulgent, including the likes of traditional sherry trifle with custard and whipped cream, and white chocolate and raspberry creme brulee. The restaurant also offers a set menu alongside its à la carte options, providing flexibility for diners. Sunday lunch is a particular highlight, with traditional roasts available.
The building itself is a standout feature, with its thatched roof and period architecture lending a sense of history to the setting. Inside, the dining spaces are divided across several rooms, maintaining an intimate feel. The layout suits couples, small groups, and those seeking a quieter dining experience. The restaurant also features a garden area, which is available for dining during warmer months.
Reservations are recommended, particularly for weekend visits and Sunday lunch. Private dining options are available for special occasions or group bookings, and the restaurant can accommodate bespoke menus for such events.
