The Granta

A waterside pub that feels like it’s been perfectly placed for post-walk lingering. Sitting right on Mill Pond, this is one of those spots where the view does a lot of the work — punts drifting past, green space stretching out, and that slightly slower pace that makes you forget you’re still in Cambridge.

Inside, it blends traditional pub comfort with a more open, modern feel, while outside is where things really settle in — a terrace and garden that quietly turn one drink into a full afternoon. Expect classic pub food, a solid drinks lineup, and that easy, come-and-go atmosphere that works for everything from quick stops to long resets.

Perfect for when the walk naturally drifts towards the water and no one’s in a rush to move on. Dogs are part of the rhythm here too, with a warm welcome and plenty of space to settle while you soak up the view.
