SCROLL

The Orchard

 

Just a short stroll, bike ride or punt trip away from the bustle of Cambridge lies The Orchard in Grantchester, an oasis of thought-provoking calm that has been an essential part of Cambridge life for over 125 years.

 

Renowned for the large number of famous people who have enjoyed its genteel setting, The Orchard is a place to relax and soak up the atmosphere of a bygone age. Sitting under its trees or snuggling in its old pavilion, its customers follow in the footsteps of generations of Cambridge students at a place determined to remain ‘forever England’.

 

The Orchard serves morning coffee, light lunches, afternoon and cream teas, cakes and its famous homemade scones under its fruit trees in late spring, summer and early autumn. In winter, and when the weather is inclement, these are served indoors in the warmth of the Rupert Brooke Room.

 

We do not take bookings for brunch or lunch. Walk in only.
