The Railway Tavern, Great Shelford

Excellent Thai food [9/10 for this] but shabby beer and sticky tables don't do it any favours.

The Queens Head, Newton

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.

The Prince Albert, Ely

Lovely old fashioned local. Well-kept Greene King ales and excellent traditional food [if a bit basic]. Nice garden at the back which feels like you're sitting in a friend's garden.
