The Pheasant, Great Chishill

Lovely country pub. Serves a good (and sizeable) Sunday roast.
In good weather the garden is a beautiful setting.
The landlady was very friendly.

The Empress, Cambridge

The pigs (and hares) are certainly an attraction.

But two things detracted from this pub:
The heavy smell of sweat in the common room.
The east-facing garden. (Beer-in-the-sunny-evening, but no sun?)

Staff were friendly though.

The Rupert Brooke, Grantchester

Part pub, part restaurant.
Great food.

I'm partial to Stowford Press (which they serve), but don't care much for beer.

About a year ago they served the best pub burger (with blue cheese and mushroom) I've had *anywhere* in the world. (No, I really mean that).

Revisited this weekend and they've tweaked the menu somewhat. (The burger's still great, but it used to be exactly what I liked.)

Vegetarian friend was mistakenly served a non-vegetarian pie. The staff were immediately apologetic and the error was corrected. The manager also came over to apologise. We were satisfied with their response.

They appear to be redoing the garden at the moment.
