| Pub looks attractive from the outside and has a safe garden to the front on a quiet village road, laid out with tables. Inside it is a little lacking in character even bland as it has been madeover to the usual standard pub designer interior. I would like to see a few more original artifacts displayed in this historic village pub. I felt the food menu wasn't very adventurous, the usual ham, egg and chips, some pastas, sausages, steak & ale pie with short pastry and too much carrot, come on, it should be puff pastry. I'd like to see rabbit pie or phesant on the menu, that would impress. Limited space to sit down and just drink inside as you feel that you are expected to eat. I had read this was a microbrewery, but doesn't seem to be in operation anymore. Ales were O.K. I have had better, probably not cold enough for me. I might go there again if I was in the area, but would depend what beer was on pump. copperkettle - 22 Sep 2012 23:04 |
| Called in there on recent Saturday lunchtime. The house brew was nice and reasonably priced, there were alternatives such as Woodfordes Wherry. Lady behind the bar friendly. Usual problem about no real space for drinkers who are not eating. As it had rained the outside seats were not really an option. Fortunately the pub was not too crowded and all the tables had just a candle - not a candle and place settings as in the past which does rather put you in your place. boblarkin - 17 Oct 2010 21:47 |
| Very friendly and hospitable staff in this quaint village pub in a pleasant village. May be a little cramped inside with the tables etc but still has a pub feel. There's a tabled patio kind of area out front where tobacco fiends can indulge and the horsey fraternity can tie up their steeds. The Woddfordes Wherry was pretty much on form and the house beer on offer (a very pale 4.1% pale ale) was a very drinkable pint. Occasional number 10 buses from Cambridge and Newmarket stop across the green. anonymous - 15 May 2010 22:43 |
| Beautiful pub and garden in a beautiful village location. Normally have two home-made ales (reasonably priced) and a couple of guest ales (Adnams etc). On busy days most of the tables laid for food, which is over-priced in my opinion. The atmosphere thus becomes more of a restaurant than a pub (shame). JonRambo - 21 Jul 2009 20:47 |
| Tried the micro beer but it was undrinkable maybe it was my fault I dont know.. other beers were much better tasting although nothing special.Mostly a restaurant serving fresh fish and customers sitting in the bar gives little room for us drinkers.I usually sit in the garden outside. hogshead - 24 Feb 2008 23:20 |
