| Great pub. Had some excellent pints of Adnams Old Ale (4.1%) straight from the barrel the other lunchtime together with some of the best rare roast beef and ripe stilton sandwiches I have had anywhere. Also delicious beef dripping on toast - now where do you ever see that now? My wife had the Crones cider and the soup which she thoroughly enjoyed. Friendly & hospitable staff. Just wish it wasn't seventy miles away - but we will return! zeitlin - 24 Jan 2008 21:32 |
| Quite simply the best pub in the Known Universe. Unchanged for 32 years to my personal knowledge; the previous landlord's son has just taken it over, with the same philosophy, so things are looking good for the next 32. I even recognize some of the cobwebbed corners from my first ever visit... I agree with an earlier reviewer that it can occasionally get too full of red-bracered Telegraph readers, but that's the only disadvantage I'm aware of. drmarkf - 15 Aug 2006 08:38 |
| A totally traditional village pub, can be a bit cliquey. Recommended in every pub guide in the world so consequently busy weekend lunchtimes, seen at its best at other times. Brilliant beer, so long as you don't mind a completely flat pint poured straight from the barrel (there are no pumps, but then this is how Adnams should be served) The owners are Cambridge pub aristocracy these days, and hold the licence for the excellent Cambridge Beer Festival, a service which deserves the repayment of a bit of custom and profit for the rest of the year dodgy - 17 Apr 2006 21:51 |
| Has the best sandwiches and soup for many a mile. cliver - 23 Mar 2006 17:51 |
| Great Adnams beer, a warm welcome, an olde worlde feel and good (very) simple food make this pub a destination for many kinds of folk. The experience is often spoiled by braying hordes of hooray henrys, rich kids intent on spending their inheritance as quickly as poss. The pub doesn't deserve these brats. anonymous - 21 Sep 2005 09:16 |
