Had the most amazing Turkish food here this evening with my husband and small dog. The Portuguese host was delightful and we were really looked after. Thank you we shall return soon! Highly recommend. Visted again this evening 5th July 2025 had the most fantastic service from Michael,Chris and Ben. Yet again the Lebanese food was a sheer delight,lamb chops seasoned and cooked to perfection along with chicken tawook. A real hidden gem,service, and friendliest staff. Thank you for a lovely evening. Visited again this evening 16th of August yet again the food,staff and service were amazing. The locals made our evening,such lovely people, great banter and a lovely evening all round. Xx

It was such a pleasure to meet the place and drink an ale in the pub that Tolkien used to go to. Nice ales and nice people!

We came to visit Cambridge and decided to come here due to my grandfather. A couple of months ago he had a fall, and the green dragon staff, a tall gent and a young girl he thinks her name was Monica came to his aid with a first aid kit. She patched him up and they were both so reassuring to him, taking him inside and helping him navigate - he is blind and came with a elderly friend. Because of the kindness shown we decided to come back, it was very busy, beautiful big garden with cows on the other side of the river roaming free. We had wraps and a mixed grill, the special veg wrap was very filling. Excellent selection of gins and ales too. But the staff make this pub, the girl on the bar last night had unbelievable multitasking skills and knew the menu confidently enough to give advice on allergens. Would recommend.
