Set in the picturesque village of Abbots Ripton with access to beautiful walks on the local estate, The Elm has everything you want from your perfect countryside pub; A glorious garden, a roaring fire, comfortable rooms, delicious food and a wide selection of drinks.
The Grade II-listed building was built, as an open hall, in the late 15th Century to offer hospitality to the drovers bringing cattle down from Scotland (along the Bullock Road) to the market at St.Ives. It was later altered with the insertion of a brick chimney in the early 17th century. The Fellowes family, that own and run the pub, came to the area around the same time the pub got its chimney...

After clarification by the government on which businesses may operate during the tightened restrictions, breweries with off-sales licences are permitted to sell beer to take home. The Grain Drive-Thru will therefore be open for business unless further restrictions are applied. Due to the COVID19 outbreak and the closures of pubs, we have a brewery full of beer but no pubs to sell it to, so we are turning the brewery into a Beer Collection Drive-Thru. Cleanliness and sterilisation is second nature to us, and you will find the Grain Drive-Thru to be a far lower risk and more sterile environment than any supermarket or shop you will visit. This service is aimed at those local to the brewery, so first see if a brewery closer to you offers a similar service. You drive in at one end, place your order and pay using contactless payment or cash, then drive to the next door to pick up your beer.

A multi-roomed pub situated across the road from the 17th century Moot hall and seafront gardens, and close to the iconic fishermen's huts on the shingle beach. It's popular with locals and also tourists (including bikers, ramblers & bird spotters). Children aged 10 or over also welcome. Handy for refreshments after a stroll along the beach.
The food offer specialises in locally caught fish and other local produce. Traditionally the landlord is a member of the lifeboat crew.
The pub was originally built in the 16th century but substantially reconstructed in the mid 19th. The pub underwent a major internal refurbishment in early 2012. The bar counter was relocated to the back of the building (where an old dining area used to be) and a new restaurant with sea views was fitted out in the former front bar area. Other new drinking areas have also been created.

Sprawling modern open-plan pub, much better than its Elizabethan (circa 1965) predecessor but still somewhat anonymous, sporting the pseudo-domestic decor currently fashionable amongst pub-chain designers - lots of light wood, framed prints, non-operational fireplaces etc. Piped music, sports TV and games machines. Although they have three hand pumps they sometimes have only one in use as there isn't the demand for cask ale. Good value food served every day including breakfast from 8am until noon. Sunday carvery. Beer garden with lighting and heaters. Quiz night Wednesday. Children welcome until 9pm. In mid 2017 the Fox was one of over 70 pubs sold by Mitchells & Butlers. It is now owned by Blackrose pubs.

ANNOUNCED AUGUST 2022 - This club is the CAMRA East Anglia Region Club of the Year, and is regularly the Herts & Essex Borders Club of the Year. This is a large club house is shared by the local Cricket, Hockey, and Squash clubs. Its known for serving real ale and always features local breweries, with a varied selection on the four hand pumps. The Bar is a bit sports dominated with football often screened, however the number of drinkers means there is a regular turnover of ales and as a result the beer is in good condition. As from Feb 2015 the club stopped being a members only bar and operates as a pub with all welcome, the large open grounds make for a great beer garden when its nice weather and in addition, members of the club and CAMRA members also enjoy discounted drink prices. The club is towards the northern edge of the town, and the entrance can be easily missed, as there is no traditional pub sign, look for the turning into the car park between the cricket pitch and tennis courts.

Constructed around 1547, it has been a tavern since 1620 and was first known as the Black Lion. In 1749 it was renamed the Vernon’s Head and at some later date, the Cock Inn. In an upstairs landing is said to be a priest’s hiding hole – a secretive place built into the fabric of many such buildings – and this one may well have been used in the 18th century by the notorious highwayman, Dick Turpin. A wet led pub. lots of beer drunk by large cross section of the community. No food.

Reopened in mid-May 2019 after being closed for nine months Former coaching inn. The building dates from the 16th century, with an 18th century frontage. According to Alfred Hedges' book, "Inns & Inn Signs of Norfolk & Suffolk, it's claimed that the Fleece was built by a local builder from the excess profits he made from building Boxford rectory. Hedges also tells us that the oak panelling comes from old box pews which prior to 1887 were in the local parish church. Cask conditioned beers are mainly from Colchester Brewery and local guest ales, lagers and ciders from Suffolk.

A major renovation some years back transformed what had been, internally at least, a rather characterless place into something altogether more attractive. A pitched roof replaced the flat one in the bar area removing the old claustrophobic feel; the roof space is draped with large tapestries covered in Latin script. A small conservatory extension leads onto a patio area and the impressive garden. The pub is heavily food lead, with a good reputation, but also has a large bar area. 10 room detached hotel annex.

Much extended pub with separate drinking and eating areas, on many different floor levels. Food-orientated but drinkers are welcome too. Huge garden for the summer, now with a BBQ. It is an old pub, once frequented by farm-workers, and now with a welcome for walkers and cyclists. Take a walk down to the church to see the ancient stocks outside. Reopened after a refurb in November 2016.

Reopened in July 2019, with competitively-priced real ales, after more than a month of closure for refurbishment. The pub's owners (Ei Group) had taken the pub back from its long-standing licensees (who leased the pub and wanted to buy it) in order to transfer it to 'Craft Union' (Ei's managed house co.). Locals had started a petition against this change, attracting more than 1,000 signatures in the first day, then passing 2,000 soon afterwards. Formerly part of the Fielder & Co brewery buildings, this small, traditional local has a few historic framed photos of the local area in the bar and a well in the courtyard at the rear. There are hanging baskets of flowers outside the pub.

A Beefeater in an old watermill on the River Ver, with close links to the Premier Inn next door. While the first floor is dedicated to restaurant tables, the ground floor features three separate bar areas where drinks, snacks and light meals can be enjoyed. Although the building last operated as a mill in 1916, the watermill is still functional, and is encased for viewing within the building - an impressive sight. Set up for typical Beefeater fayre, all Premier Inn meals are also taken in the mill restaurant. Outside there are pleasant gardens alongside the river, a pond populated by geese and ducks, and a children's playground, making the pub popular with young families. Despite being very nearby, the M25 motorway is well screened and surprisingly unintrusive.

A country pub with excellent views across to the village cricket pitch, on an open common - one of the largest in England that is privately owned by the parish.
Extensively remodelled in 2016: the beams and brick interiors remain, as do the two large inglenook fireplaces. However, the pub has been much expanded, particularly at the rear with a large patio and garden. There are now couple of restaurants, a snug, and a spacious front bar that welcomes dogs. There are also six B&B rooms in the converted livestock barns.
Much of the menu is gluten free, and most produce is sourced locally, including many of the drinks offerings.

Further seating is available outside the entrance to the cellar from which all drinks are served as there is no bar so beers are poured straight from the casks.

Just past the cellar entrance is the restaurant where fresh local produce is used extensively.

The Crown Inn has served Broxbourne for several hundred years, dating back to the 1700's. Popular with Victorian day-trippers, the inn was also used by local companies who liked their employees to play sports on the adjacent gardens. The current building was constructed in the 1930s, replacing The Old Crown Hotel. Broxbourne, including the railway station, is situated in Herts, but The Crown is across on the east bank of the River Lee in Essex, where here the river is the boundary between the two counties. Today The Crown is easily accessed by the 2023 road bridge improvement over the railway and by going down Old Nazeing Road and crossing the river. This large pub is sited on a bend of the river with a pleasant garden. To the right of the entrance is the public/saloon style bar where there are generally at least three nation real ales on sale. To the left is the extensive restaurant rooms, which lead onto the garden area. This is by the old tow path of the river and overlooks the boat hire centre.

A family owned 4 star hotel in town centre covered with Virginia creeper. Styled with a traditional Georgian elegance. Records show that there has been an inn on this site since about the 13th century. In fact there were once three ancient inns on this site - the Angel, the Castle & the Boar's Head, with the earliest reference to an inn here dating back as far as 1281. The present building dates from around 1774-1776 when it was also a posting inn. The town Hustings (electioneering speeches) were traditionally held outside the Angel Hotel & Charles Dickens stayed here in 1859 & 1861 (and earlier) when he gave readings to the town. The Bury Fair was held annually near here until 1871 when it was discontinued after it fell into disrepute. Originally granted by Henry I & held on feast of St James (25th July) Bury Fair was latter moved to feast of St Matthew (21st Sept.) & was a one time visited by Mary Tudor (who also married Charles Brandon, Duke of Suffolk). By 1721 the fair was very famous with many "knights & gentlemen of estates & gentlemen's daughters" in attendance. Two other fairs once held annually in Bury include the Calf's Tail Fair on Tue, Wed & Thu of Easter week, & a "butter fair" held on 2nd Dec.

Located just outside the old East Gate. Nicely furnished throughout with a courtyard garden. This pub also has a declared ethical policy (see the website) and try to have as little environmental impact as possible. Live Jazz from 7.30 every Sun eve.

Steps lead down to the split-level Riverside Bar, once home to a Jazz Club frequented by one Roger Barratt - he so admired one of the resident musicians, his near-namesake Sid Barrett that he changed his own name to Syd. He then went on to form little known local combo, Pink Floyd. Doors lead from there out to the riverside terrace. The building itself dates back to 1843 when part of the site was used for mooring boats, hence the name. Greene King IPA plus guest ales available. Home cooked food. Card payments only.

Dating from 1740s the pub was acquired by Adnams in 1994 and respectfully renovated by them. Family run, it offers a great selection of the brewery's own beers, plus their seasonal offerings and two or more changing guests. Originally two buildings, they have been combined to give a number of separate drinking areas over two floors, including a downstairs snug. To the rear is a suntrap garden next to the mound of the long-gone castle. Excellent food served every session, including a wide selection of specials and a Sunday Roast & Carvery. The Castle Inn's long-standing licensee left in November 2022. It reopened in January 2023 with new tenants who also run the Alex and the Portland.

This small, two-room city-centre pub has a truly friendly atmosphere. It's one of the four remaining pubs on the infamous King Street Run pub crawl, which involved a pint in each of the eight pubs with no lavatory stop. The oarsman after whom the pub is named is commemorated in the fine etched windows. Both bars are wood-panelled with Victorian counters, fixed benches and a part-glazed partition between the rooms. It is on the National Inventory as having a historic pub interior of regional importance. The humour and chatter of customers predominates. You know you're in Cambridge when you see the adverts to view University Challenge here. The ales from Greene King and its guest list are very well kept. Pub snacks, including pork pies and scotch eggs, available. Cheese & crackers on Sunday at 5. There is step-free access to the bar but no accessible WC. Greene King Beer Pub of the Year 2022.

Large pub which has been through some changes recently - extensively refurbished (and for a while renamed) a few years ago and very definitely now food-oriented. Several distinct areas - the front section remains pubby, while the area leading to the garden has more of a restaurant feel. The cuisine is Thai, from a team with many years experience in the area. Usually only one real ale, Greene King IPA or Timothy Taylor Landlord.

Rescued from decline and opened in 2010 as Milton Brewery's first pub in Cambridge. Just off Mill Road, the Dev attracts a mix of characters for beer, food and a chat. A deceptively large pub given its small frontage there are also small patio areas both front and back. Inside it was impressively renovated with front and rear drinking areas offering a mixture of wooden booths and larger tables. Tall windows and a high ceiling with fans. Up to eight, mostly Milton, cask ales are available including at least two dark beers with occasional guests from other micros. There are also bottles and two keg beers including Moravka unpasteurised lager. A large selection of, mostly local, real ciders plus a small number of widely available fruit syrup ciders. A beer festival during the first weekend of December coincides with the Mill Road Winter Fair. The kitchen is run by Blue Mountain Lounge.

It's most recent incarnation as the Duke of Cambridge is perhaps appropriate, the Duke having visited East Road in Feb 2013. and Prince Edward was banned from here in his student days though it was hushed up at the time.

CB2 3QN
Probably the most famous pub in Cambridge, with its galleried courtyard and back room ceiling covered with graffiti applied by World War Two airmen. This is also where Watson and Crick announced that, in nearby labs, they had worked out the double helical structure of DNA, the "secret of life". A window at the back of the pub has been open for 300 years - because it's believed a child died in the pub during a fire when the window couldn't be opened. For a time in the early 90s its future was in doubt because of possible redevelopment but common sense prevailed and the pub reopened in 1992. The price to pay was a major expansion of the original two-bar layout to incorporate former office premises fronting Bene't Street. However, this work was sensitively executed and the "new" areas, especially the panelled room to the right of the front entrance, are very attractive. Food from the standard GK managed house menu is served 11 - 10 every day. The pumpclip for the "Eagle's DNA" gives no clues as to its origins but we assume it's made by Greene King and is probably a rebadging of another beer (Morland Original?) Guest beers include ales from Milton brewery.

Midsummer Common
Cambridge
CB4 1HA
Parts of this riverside pub date back to the 16th century and it was originally built on an island. It gets its name from its resemblance to the Fort St George in Madras, which when built in 1639, was the first British fort in India. (the pub used to be callled the Fort St George in England so people wouldn't confuse the two but the last two words have sadly been dropped). From the front door you turn right into the snug which has lost some of its character over the years but retains an open fire and tiled floor. The large main bar has a wood-boarded floor and rather spartan furnishings but great views of the river. To the left of the entrance is the restaurant, part parquet floored and part quarry tiled with some vestiges of the old walls but mostly repro fixtures and fittings. Again lots of windows onto the river. Food is from the standard GK managed house menu, served 11am to 9pm (8pm Sunday). If this is a bit much for you, slum it next door at the Michelin-starred Midsummer House. In front of the pub is a large patio overlooking the common. Its seasonal popularity is down to its location on the common next to the river.

Close to Parker's Piece, this intimate, friendly pub serves high-quality food and great beer. The rare Greene King XX Mild was its best seller until Greene King stopped brewing it. Pub regulars still cuss when GK are mentioned. Guest beers are from Greene King's seasonal and guest lists, including Jarl from Fyne Ales, a Weston's Old Rosie cider is also available. It has an interesting selection of unusual spirits such as English whisky and a range of bottled beers. A pub since 1834, it just survived the 1970s Kite area redevelopment. Only the tiny snug is from the original pub. The other two rooms are a loving reconstruction and the quality of the restoration means that the pub is included by CAMRA in its listing of pubs that are Outstanding Conversions or Restorations. Local pictures, historic newspapers and printing type cases containing nick-nacks decorate the walls. The rowing eight bow hanging from the front bar ceiling is from the crashed 1984 Cambridge varsity boat. When students relished a frivolous challenge, Downing once got 59 in the snug. Bench seating out front and a walled garden at the rear. A recent addition is the "press room" in the garden.

Located in Chesterton, the Green Dragon is a village riverside pub and one of the oldest pubs in Cambridge. In 1630 it was described as an "ancient victualling house". The skeletally exposed beams reveal where some of its interior walls used to be. Despite serial refurbishments, including some modern furniture, it still retains some of its character. A large central inglenook fireplace divides the bar into two distinct areas. There is a lovely beer garden by the river on the opposite side of the road and also a walled rear garden which is non-smoking (there is a well-furnished smoking area in the gazebo attached to the rear of the building). Guest beers are often non Greene King, typically from East Anglian breweries. The kitchen is run by SHAWARMA who offer Lebanese modern street food with traditional flavours.

There are a number of separate drinking areas: one either side of the door, a snug, and another room off to one side. Dark wood and warm colours abound. To the left of the bar the ceiling has been raised to the rafters. The wood and glass walls around the front door hark back to an older incarnation. Behind is a good sized beer garden. The car park has been converted into the largest pub cycle park in Cambridge, leaving a few spaces for cars. Eight real ales (5 from Milton and 3 guests from micros) including at least one dark), three real ciders or perries plus Moravka unpasteurised lager from Taddington, Derbyshire. Well regarded for its stone baked pizzas (available to take away) but other options exist. Returned to the Good Beer Guide in 2014 after a twenty year absence.

Self-confessedly quirky establishment whose name commemorates a Cambridge pastime which involved drinking a pint in each of eight pubs that used to exist along the street without going to the loo. When owned by Whitbread many years ago it was refitted as a "fun pub" and it still bears the scars e.g. carpets and furniture on the ceiling. The upstairs is even more higgledy-piggledy than the ground floor; the latter has a bare-boarded U-shaped layout with unused fireplaces, a couple of telly screens and a table footy alcove. The clientele is largely of an alternative persuasion and the atmosphere can get quite funky though it's also a friendly place. Happy hour 5 -7, Mon - Fri.

The former White Hart became the acclaimed Backstreet Bistro in 2004 but returned to being a pub on 23rd February 2017. As the Petersfield it became the fifth City Pub Company premises in Cambridge. That number has risen since. The entrance leads into a large L-shaped main bar, decorated in a fairly traditional manner with modern touches. There is also a more intimate smaller room behind the bar. There are five handpumps which feature beers from Barsham, Nene Valley, Adnam's and sometimes one from Cambridge Brewing Company based in sister pub the Cambridge Brew House. Food offers include Tuesday evening Moo & Brews. Burgers from Burton's of Saffron Walden with a flight of local beers. The terrace outside has separate non-smoking and smoking areas. Card payments only.

One of several claimants to be the oldest pub in Cambridge, first licensed in 1608. The interior has been much altered with only portions of the internal walls remaining from what must have been a warren of little rooms. There are still a good variety of drinking spaces though and some genuinely old features including roof beams, old brickwork, fireplace etc. Courtyard garden. Six (eight in summer) changing beers, always including a dark beer (mild or stout), often included beers from Milton, Oakham and Belhaven. Since the Spirit Group, including Taylor Walker, was taken over by Greene King, beers from the Bury St Edmunds brewer are more in evidence than previously. Weston's Old Rosie cider is also available. A pickerel is a baby pike.

When it opened, in November 2013, this was Cambridge's first new pub in over a decade but it started a trend. An impressive Georgian townhouse, where EM Forster once lived. Formerly used as Cambridge University's pensions office. Extensively refurbished with multiple rooms across three floors providing a variety of drinking and dining areas. The rear terraced patio garden provides for outdoor eating and drinking and is separated from the smokers' alley. Two real ciders and four changing cask ales (occasionally three ales, three ciders) are joined by 17 keg lines (15 beers, 2 ciders). Beers from both the UK and the rest Europe, with an emphasis on craft. The handpumps for the cask ales and real ciders (listed on separate boards above the main keg beer list) are in the smaller section of the bar but ordering them is normally at the main bar. The keg beer prices quoted on the board are for the volumes listed alongside. Food is upmarket, but homemade cold bar snacks are available at all times if you do not fancy a full meal.

When it opened in 2000 Wetherspoon's reckon this to be the biggest pub in the UK and it's certainly a whopper, occupying two floors of the former Regal cinema (the Picturehouse Cinema occupies the rest of the building). Although essentially a barn of a place, there are a few more intimate areas on the edges. There is also an outdoor area to the rear. A DJ ups the atmosphere from 10pm on Friday and Saturday evenings. Excellent value beer and food but it can get hugely busy in the evening when service can become an issue. As well as its 4 regular ales it also offers 8 to 10 guest ales. Ciders from Weston's and Gwynt y Ddraig. It is no longer Britain's biggest pub. The Moon under Water, Manchester (opened Jan 2014) and the Royal Victoria Pavilion, Ramsgate (opened Aug 2017), both also Wetherspoon's pubs, are larger.

The Royal Standard was originally built before most of the Victorian housing in the Romsey Town area was, thanks to a far-sighted brewer who presumably predicted the expansion of Mill Road past the railway line - it's at a slight angle to the road, probably as a result of predating it. Following almost a decade when it was a restaurant and then a charity shop, and after several rounds of planning applications from the developers who bought the site, the Royal Standard reopened on 22nd October 2015 as a pub, albeit smaller, and with a vastly reduced garden. It immediately became a fine addition to Cambridge's pub scene. Bottled beers, changing keg beers (including Duchesse de Bourgogne) are frequently Belgian but there are plenty of British options as well, including locally and regionally brewed cask ales. It offers a range of real cider, including several locally produced ones. Wide selection of gins. The kitchen is run by Tzatziki who offer a Greek menu which is also available to take away.

The Moon and Starfish has been a feature of the Clacton sea front since 1997, making it the only Wetherspoon pub in Tendring until the Bottle Kiln opened in Dovercourt 20 years later. Situated in what was once part of the Royal Hotel, which was first built in around 1872 as one of the first buildings in the then new (in July 1871) coastal town of Clacton-on-Sea, it offers coastal views. Opposite the Pavilion Fun Park and a short walk from Clacton Pier it offers meals throughout the day as well as a range of ales and a regular cider. Being only a short walk from Pier Avenue and Jackson Road most Clacton bus services pass nearby, and the railway station is less then half a mile away. During Clacton carnival week in August it overlooks the route of the procession, and is similarly conveniently situated for views of the Clacton Air Show at the end of each August. The pub participates in the national Wetherspoon beer and cider festivals each year, and has been a regular supporter of the Clacton Real Ale & Cider Festival.

Becoming a Free House in 2023, this is a fine old fashioned family run country pub, dating back to 1932, in a peaceful rural setting: it has a good sized garden and a petanque piste. Inside the walls and ceilings are festooned with china plates and jugs etc. Darts played here. The pub is named after the Baptist preacher and author of The Pilgrim's Progress. (b. 1628; d. 1688). He is believed to have stayed at a house nearby on his travels - the remains of which are just a few yards from the pub. There's a good competitively priced menu and a roaring fire in winter; each day there is a specials board featuring dishes distinctively prepared by the landlady. Newly added Gluten free menu. The pub also welcomes walkers; if for example you arrange to start your walk at the pub, the landlord will allow you to use the facilities and take your food order; if you then call him 10 minutes before you arrive back, he will ensure your food is ready and waiting. Friendly and well-behaved dogs are very welcome in both the pub and the garden. NOTE: From May to the end of September the pub opens all day on Saturdays, Sundays and Bank Holidays.

After a refurbishment, it re-opened in August 2010 as a freehouse. 2020 saw a further refurbishment during lockdown. In April 2022 the March Hare installed a half barrel brewery and became the March Hare BrewPub, with real ales brewed on the premises to the high standards with which John, the joint landlord, serves his beers.. The Brewpub is very popular with customers from both within the village and further afield. Local venue for Dunton Folk musicians. Winter Dark Beer Special festival in late January.

Built in 1793 with a traditional Collyweston slate roof. It has always been a pub but once included a sweet shop and post office. Two roomed pub with real fires. Large garden for 100 plus people and covered area that takes thirty. Run by an Italian couple so expect to find real Italian food. Open for lunch and evening meal and a Sunday roast from 12.30. Live music, poker nights, BBQs and marquee for hire. It is leased directly from the Burghley House Preservation Trust rather than via a pub company so expect to see individual changes and improvements. Garden used for the Annual Village Gala and the Big Squeeze, a cider making festival.
