Frommer's Review

Named in honor of Robin Hood, this 400-year-old inn is the most popular pub for outings from Cambridge. It's located on A604, 3km (2 miles) south of Cambridge in the hamlet of Grantchester, made famous by poet Rupert Brooke. Even if you haven't heard of Brooke, you may enjoy a late afternoon wandering through the old church and then heading, as everybody does, to the Green Man. In winter, a crackling fire welcomes the weary, but in summer it's more tempting to retreat to the beer garden, from which you can stroll to the edge of the River Cam. Place your order at the counter; a server will bring your food to your table. The fare ranges from fish cakes in a Thai curry sauce to chicken Kiev and even traditional English pies and bangers and mash, as well as various vegetarian choices.

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
