A lovely pint at The Village Inn in Witchford, near Ely.
The selection of beers was fair. I was pleased to see a Czech beer on tap but unfortunately just the mass produced English brewed Pravha. That said, they clearly took care of their beer here as it tasted great. Other places neglect it and often get left with a bad taste in the mouth.
The service here is absolutely excellent. Each one of the team was so friendly and attentive. The landlord even recognised that we weren’t regulars and sat down with us to talk to us. Something so rare in pubs these days.
The pub itself was perfectly balanced. The football was on but the sound was off so you could still follow the sport but also enjoy a quiet beer without it blarring in your ears.

You can’t talk about independent food in Cambridge without mentioning the market. It’s often overlooked by people heading straight for the high street chains, but it’s easily one of the best spots to grab a quick, delicious bite right in the dead centre of town, just a stone’s throw from King’s College. Because vendors operate […]
As part of my ongoing quest to try every single food stall on Cambridge Market, I recently found myself checking out The Caribbean Barn. Operating every Thursday, Friday, and Sunday, they bring a taste of the island sun to the square. On this visit, I decided to tackle something truly distinct: their Caribbean Sunday Roast. […]
Being a foodie content creator means I am constantly asked what my favourite restaurants in Cambridge are, but it is always an impossible thing to answer. What constitutes a favourite depends entirely on my mood, the situation, or the budget. Running the Cambridge Foodies blog means I am free to visit anywhere I like, but […]
