   We enjoyed the Sunday roast at the Green Man. The seating was in a very comfortable covered area, but very light. The service was good except my wife was brought a pint of an alcoholic beer rather than non-alcoholic as she'd ordered, because she was driving. The vegetables, potatoes, parsnips, gravy and Yorkshire puddings were all very good. But my wife's pork was not pork belly as stated on the menu, and was very dry. My beef was too thinly slices, very well cooked and didn't have a lot of flavour. But, in all, and enjoyable Sunday pub lunch.

   Decidedly average… menu was odd, and poorly executed.

   Great pub with excellent food, and very friendly staff. Portion sizes on the main menu are huge, so if you want to try their fish and chips (and you should) the smaller fish portion the daily set menu (good value) is enough for many. Only problem is parking. Get there early.

   Many thanks for your lovely review, fish and chips are definitely a great classic dish we use fresh cod for both our menus. During the summer months the village car park is open which is a great option for parking. Our team are super friendly so it's great that you have recognised that. We look forward to seeing you again very soon!

   Outstanding Sunday roasts – not just the best in Grantchester, but probably the best in all of Cambridge. Grantchester might be a small village with a few pubs, but this place truly stands out. The roast beef was absolutely exceptional. Lovely traditional decor, a warm atmosphere, and really helpful, friendly staff. 100% recommend!

   Disappointing first time visit - ridiculously small serving of thinly sliced sourdough bread followed by huge piece of inedible gristle in my husbands main course pie - it was the majority of the filling. Staff showed it to the chef who said it’s smoked ham and it came back to the table! Thankfully the manager deducted it from our bill but we won’t be returning

   Hi Linda, thank you for leaving your review, we always welcome constructive feed back. Our bread, oil & olives are a starter so we do not as a rule do chunky bread as it is for dipping. Our chefs hand make all our pies daily and they are super popular, having spoken to the Manager on Duty I understand that you enjoyed your tortellini and of course we would never want you to leave unhappy as we always try and resolve any issues so you can leave happy which is why we removed the pie from your bill. As you can see from our other reviews, food is one of the highlights of our pub and are sad to hear that you won't be returning.

   Lovely food, reasonable price for a 2 course set menu. Very good attentive service. Quite busy for a Thursday lunchtime. Will return.

   Our second visit, this time with friends for a birthday Sunday lunch. We were slightly chilled by the open door leading to diners out in the back area but otherwise very good. Service was again attentive, prompt & courteous. Food was delicious - stunning pork crackling & light crispy Yorkshire puds though not dry. Meat slow cooked & melting. Nice greens and roots.

We are delighted that you enjoyed your Sunday lunch again with us, please do not hesitate to let us know next time as when we can we will move your table as we would never want you to be chilly! See you soon

   Warm welcome as we arrived. Shown to a perfect table by the window so our dogs were out of the way. Attentive staff but not fussy. Fixed menu was great value with lovely choices. Everything was delicious. We definitely hope to get back again soon.
