The Crown & Punchbowl is a quaint country pub, restaurant and inn nestled amongst farmhouses in the village of Horningsea, just 3 miles from the centre of Cambridge. Horningsea has the best of both worlds – it is idyllic and rural whilst being well connected to the Cambridge Science and Business Parks, just a 5 minute drive away via the A14.

This Grade II listed building was originally an old coaching inn constructed in the 17th century. It has been extended periodically but retains many of its traditional features including brick fireplaces and original timber beams. The pub serves local real ales straight from the cask whilst the restaurant offers seasonal modern British food in relaxed surroundings. Alongside the regular menu, there is a fresh fish board and a great selection of steaks.

Upstairs there five delightful guest rooms. All rooms are en-suite, tranquil and well-appointed with a Nespresso machine, kettle, Egyptian cotton linen and Liberty & Green toiletries. In addition, a special weekend rate of £295 is offered -this includes a two-night stay, breakfast on both mornings and a three-course dinner on one night in the restaurant (excludes drinks.) Available Friday/Saturday or Saturday/Sunday.
