| The recent reviews are accurate. Beautifully placed by a mill pool, plenty of space on a patio to drink, adequate Greene King beers etc but too obviously a tourist place. Still if it's a sunny day, hard to fault as a place to sit and sup a beer Arctium_lappa - 7 Feb 2010 19:59 |
| Agree about the food - nice place for a drink though. Good views, bar staff seem to know what they're doing. Decent atmosphere. Whenever I go you can always get a seat. krakatoa - 20 Dec 2009 19:19 |
| We waited 40 minsher reviews obviously for food which I thought was a lot but reading ot got off lightly. Was told the food would taske 1/2 hour but after I ordered which was annoying. The order was also wrong at first & sent back, Food was poor, cheese sandwich boring & fishcakes obviously bought in frozen speakeasy - 27 Sep 2009 21:40 |
| Had 2 hours in Cambridge on Friday 1st May. Met my friend who was a chef and went to the Granta. Wow - what a place. Joined a small queue at the bar for an excellent pint of real ale and sat on the balcony overlooking the river. This must be idyllic. It had taken me 7 hours to get here due to rail problems (as usual) but the visit made the trip worthwhile. Didn;'t eat! Didn't have time but the food coming out looked very nice. I have to confirm previous comments that there was a delay. 40 minutes was announced to several people ordering. Hardly surprising as we found the chef collecting glasses! My friend asked him why he was collecting glasses and said he wouldn't allow that if he worked for him! So you take your choice. I don't have any problem with the place but I can see why others might. ButchEgg - 4 May 2009 16:20 |
| This pub's in an envious position, with an idyllic setting over the Cam to enjoy a pint. However, if you intend eating here then be prepared for the wait. Also, the food tends to be mediocre. Last time we went all the meals were luke warm instead of piping hot. I've been in Cambridge eight years and throughout that time the Granta's always had problems with its kitchen. OK if all you want is a drink though. boodle - 13 Oct 2008 21:11 |
