The menu here is quintessentially British and local, with breakfasts featuring Cambridgeshire eggs and New Market sausages and dinners serving fresh Norfolk seafood and other delightful variations of British comfort foods.
 
Relaxing in this Edwardian setting makes for a fantastic introduction to English heritage and a great place to uncover the prestige of Cambridge.
