“ Excellent flavours and lovely setting/ atmosphere. Made it very easy with a dairy free diet. We will recommend. Thank you for having us. ”

“ What a find! En route up north, found this place as a recommendation in a guide. Great atmosphere, refreshing to find a restaurant that has space, rather than cramming in as many covers as possible. Food was top class. We picked at some warm sourdough with wood-smoked butter whilst waiting for our dishes. I had the lamb which was perfectly cooked, and a generous portion. My wife had sardines which she loved, and my son had the steak which again, was perfectly cooked, and a generous size. The garlic & parsley fries were excellent, but star of the show was the tenderstem with peanut salsa: unusual, inspired and delicious. The desserts were impressive too, fantastic homemade ice cream, and sorbet, and my son's chocolate mousse disappeared in seconds! Really friendly relaxed atmosphere and service. Will definitely return next time we're in the area. Highly recommended. ”

“ Outstanding experience at Provenance last weekend. We'd been recommended to try it by some friends but hadn't had a suitable opportunity up until now. We live in the centre of Cambridge but Provenance is an easy enough drive being perched close to the M11, with my Son's plans to be at an event close by providing a perfect opportunity for a date evening for my wife and I. We loved the space, and the restaurant was busy when we arrived on a Saturday evening with a cracking 'buzz' of atmosphere from the many tables occupied. We went 'all-in' with starters and mains, however we had to share a pud as by then the excellent food had rather done for us - it was plentiful. My wife had some superb Cambridge Asparagus which had been made into a fantastic plate with some Leek Ash, Rapeseed emulsion and parmesan (it really was terrific) and my opening round Burrata was excellent too. We followed with some Colne Valley Coal Fired Lamb (outstanding, and the square croquette accompanying it being particularly lamb'y and delicious) and a 60 Day Old Spot which we both agreed was probably the best Pork we'd ever tasted (shaded only by Iberico Presa but it was close!) which was adorned with a fabulous Charcuterie Sauce. The accompanying side of garlic/parsley fries were so good and showed some real care from the kitchen with every delicious fry covered in the advertised parsley and garlic rather than a little puddle dumped on top as you often see when others try to do 'posh' chips elsewhere. Dessert was a very competent lemon tart/marscapone which was a great end to a superb supper. Drinks were of the highest quality - a great selection of mocktails for the driver (the virgin Mojito being splendidly well made) draught BrewBoard (crisp and cold) and a very decent Pinot Noir too. Coffee was punchy and strong and very enjoyable. Everything was held together with excellent service from start to finish, with the young gentleman running front of house leading an engaged and happy team. A mild dietary intolerance was catered for with absolutely no issues whatsoever, and very professionally too. Overall a really good experience and one we will be happy to have again, hopefully quite soon! Recommended and easily deserves five stars from us. ”

“ Easily 5/5. Outstanding food and service. 3 of us had sunday roast with beef, pork and sea bream - all delicious. Cauliflower cheese was also really tasty. Everything was spot on, couldn't fault it. Sticky toffee pudding was awesome. Would highly recommend! ”

“ Where can we begin?! We decided to get married very last minute and after a working lunch at Provenance and a few spontaneous ideas - it was decided, this was our venue. We worked with Steph, who was absolutely incredible at helping our vision come to life. Food was the priority for us, and we knew that Provenance would deliver. We got married in June, and it was lovely to have both inside and outside options available to us. We decided to marry outside under the stretch tent. Once we had agreed our date, we were invited to a tasting to try out the sample menu. This was an incredible opportunity to experience the food and wine, and it was so delicious! Also, gave me an opportunity to try things I might never have selected (and ended up choosing instead)! For the day, everything was set up for us, including the table layout (name places set), flowers (arranged by florist), drinks waiting for after the reception and background music (along with aisle song) all arranged for us. We had the tent arranged for our guests in benches, and a floral arrangements at the end for decoration, this worked really well. We stuck outside (lucky with the weather) for post wedding drinks, and this made a great background for photos afterwards. There was also the little cocktail truck there for pre drinks for early guests or those wanting something else to drink. This is where the canapes came out and was one of the highlights for us. Seeing the guests delight over the size and quality of these was so lovely. We were weirdly excited about watching everyone's face to see their reaction! After this, we moved into the main restaurant (by the kitchen), where we had 3 long tables decorated with flowers and candles. There we had our 3 courses of absolutely incredible food. We had speeches in this area (while the band set up), we then moved to the next section for dancing. They opened up the doors across the restaurant so people we inside and outside and it was such a lovely open atmosphere. Whilst we were dancing, the chefs started on the flatbreads for the evening food, which turned out to be the talking point to this day. Often I will still get messages from friends like "do you remember the flatbreads at your wedding?!". Such a huge hit. I think people were just surprised by the entire selection of food being so high quality, tasty and ideal portion sizes (rather than generic small portioned wedding venue food). We left the venue around 11-12pm after the most fantastic day. We couldn't recommend Provenance enough for your special day and a huge thank you from us, Mr & Mrs Witt. You made our day perfect. THANK YOU! Can't wait to return for some Christmas celebrations! Xxx ”

“ The food was delightful. I chose the flat iron steak, and it was perfectly juicy and just the right portion for me. The service was very good. Since all the dishes were chargrilled, it might take a bit of time to be served, but that didn't bother me as I wasn't very hungry. However, keep in mind if you have a big appetite. The only downside was that we couldn't use our birthday cake even though we ordered desserts, but they did bring a candle on one of the desserts as a nice gesture. ”

“ We hosted our joint 50th birthday party at the Orchard Barn and what a fantastic event space it is. Such an incredible atmosphere with a variety of beautiful spaces and plenty of shelter from both sun and rain. Steph coordinated a brilliant day for us - managing the majority of the load and meaning we had very little to do in the lead up to and on the day. The whole events team was wonderful and all of our guests said how friendly and helpful they were. The food was divine and everyone commented on what a great selection was on offer and how delicious everything was. We really couldn’t have asked for more. ”

“ What can we say about Provenance? Somehow Provenance made us feel as though our wedding day was as important for them as it was for us. The events organiser Steph made everything so easy, with genuine care and attention to detail. Nothing was too much trouble and communication between us and them in the lead up to our day was exemplary. The food was freshly cooked on wood, this was not a production line. It seems like magic, how they prepared genuinely amazing food, outside for 100 people. It was presented beautifully too. We have both worked in the events sector and know how hard it is to get consistency when catering for large numbers, Provenance absolutely nailed it. We booked Provenance to host our wedding as we knew the restaurant pre our engagement and loved the food. They put as much love and precision into events in the Orchard Barn area as they do into their main restaurant operation. Best day of our lives, thank you so much. ”
