Culinary tradition meets tavern hospitality at The Marigold Tavern in Eye Green, Peterborough. Our menu is built on genuine subcontinental cooking methods, where aromatic whole spices, slow-simmered onion gravies, and roaring clay tandoor ovens unite to deliver rich, memorable dining. Every dish is cooked fresh to order by our kitchen team, ensuring bright flavours and authentic textures across every course.
Whether you are settling into our restaurant dining room for an unhurried family feast, gathering in the bar with friends over matchday sports and a cold pint, or collecting hot food to take home, our extensive menu offers an engaging dining journey across India’s regional culinary heritage.
The Art of Indian Spicing at Eye Green
Great Indian cooking relies on the layered extraction of essential oils from natural spices. Rather than relying on generic curry powders, our chefs roast and grind whole cumin, green and black cardamom, coriander seeds, cloves, and Kashmiri chilies in-house. This careful process imparts a distinct aroma and depth that balances warmth, tanginess, and sweetness without overpowering the natural flavours of tender meats and fresh vegetables.

Our kitchen is organised into dedicated sections to help you curate a balanced, multi-course feast:
- Starters & Tandoori Grill: Handcrafted crisp samosas, golden pakoras, marinated tikka skewers, and our renowned sizzling Grill Mix cooked over blazing tandoor charcoal.
