The Granta
A waterside pub whose beer garden looks out over Mill Pond.
The Granta sits on Newnham Terrace, beside Mill Pond. It is a Greene King pub, and the operator's own description calls it a historic waterside pub, pairing a traditional interior with a more modern finish.
The garden and the water
The main draw is the beer garden, which overlooks the pond. Online bookings are for tables in the restaurant; the garden itself cannot be reserved in advance, so arrive early on sunny weekends.
Eating and drinking
The kitchen serves traditional pub dishes, with vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free options marked on the menu. Food is served from 12:00 until 21:00 on weekdays and Saturdays and until 20:00 on Sundays. The bar lists beers such as Greene King IPA, Flint Eye and Prior Life, and the pub runs a quiz every Monday.
Practical notes
- Dogs are welcome, and the pub describes itself as family friendly, with free Wi-Fi.
- Opening times change with the seasons and for events, so check the pub's page before a special trip.
