Improve This Listing

One of a number of historic listed pubs in the town, whose most famous inhabitant was Oliver Cromwell. The room layout and character was happily preserved in a sensitive renovation in the 1990s and again in 2023 reopening on 27th October following a period of closure. The pub is run by the team who also operate The Windmill in nearby Somersham. There are three regular beers and up to three changing beers are available from Greene King and local breweries which usually include a stout or porter. Beers from Greene King's seasonal Future Brewers range are often featured.

A previous Good Beer Guide entry and Hunts CAMRA Dark Beer Pub of the Year. It was also the branch LocAle Pub of the Year for 2017. Hopefully the new tenants will maintain the quality of the real ales.
