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.

Superb dining experience with a well-cooked, inventive menu. The new manager, Claire, is overseeing an excellent turn-round. Still one or two staff members who could benefit from some training in service. Excellent and knowledgeable bar staff, especially Pedro.

The food and cocktails were delicious, but what made this evening so special were the staff (our waitress was particularly fabulous, so wish I'd got her name) and the overall atmosphere. Gorgeous seating, lovely furniture, a variety of areas to eat, drink and socialise. The history of the building and pictures on the wall were a great talking point. The ability to play the piano, just made it! We will be back. Thanks so much :-)

Visited the Orator after a really good experience last year but alas we were all disappointed. The Turkey meal was much better the previous year, the whole table was forced to have the set menu when the previous visit only one of us had the festive meal. The waitress did not explain that actually the two course option wasn't available on a Friday night so we were all made to desserts too. The Turkey was the only part of the meal we enjoyed, the Coley option looked poor and apparently was not nice. We were seated right in front of the kitchen, whilst we were there three separate incidents of dropping large pans and glassware happened not making it a pleasant experience. It's a real shame as a lovely building and we all loved 2023 so unfortunately won't be returning next year.

Hi Nicole, I am sorry that you did not enjoy your visit to The Orator. The festive menu did state it was 3 courses, but this should have been confirmed by your waitress too. We hope that you will visit us again for a more enyoyable experience. Best wishes, The Orator team

Our little team gathering was lovely, food was fantastic and the place is always exquisite but although staff are attentive and helpful when they come to the table it is quite hard to get their attention and obviously paying the bill and leaving is always a challenge - especially when you are tired at the end of the night. Otherwise a lovely place to eat and celebrate Christmas.
