• Wine Bar • Cambridge

Booked 2 times today

A truly inspirational wine destination venue that has a relaxed vibe but with quality at its heart. We believe that just as wine evolves in the bottle, so should our offering, and that is reflected in our ever-changing wine list. We are a place that will evolve and bring new flavours and experiences to the heart of Cambridge. We don’t aim to have the largest wine list, but rather focus on interesting and niche wines, fine and rare bottles, and for those hard to find gems and with our flat rate corkage, the value for money is exceptional.Similarly our small menu hopes to bring quality at a reasonable price, so a night of food and wine matching can be a regular treat.Our seasoned sommeliers are there to guide your journey at each turn so whether it is an intimate evening for two, or a private event for 20+ in our cellar, it should be an experience to remember. Please note that our kitchen closes at 9pm and that we are primarily a Wine Bar.

The grantchester green man is fantastic. Service was so attentive and warm, the interior is beautiful with plenty space between tables even allowing extra room for the dog, who was made to feel very welcome. My daughter had the pork roast which looked and smelled fantastic. I ordered a burger and chips and was slightly disappointed by the presentation. The desert was outstanding, really recommend the sticky toffee pudding. Getting in early is a must as there is very little parking. Minor quibbles aside I would love to go back and try the garden area.

Another excellent meal from the chef, Josh. Two of started with the salt cod which was stunning. I had the Monkfish in a mouclade sauce, which was suberb and everyone else at the table had the venison which was tender and delicious.
