The Granta - Cambridge

We loved it very much. A boat trip at Cambridge University. We took a private boat for the family, and if we liked one of the family to row or someone with the boat, it would be.. And of course the reservation was made from the first time we got off from the train station. There were two people in front of the station who were making programs for tourists. We chose with them to take a private car and take us to the boats. The service means a car with a driver instead of a bus and a boat trip with the amount of a package that we paid as soon as we left the station.. because we were more than 4 people. There were two cars, one a BMW and the other a Mercedes. The service was very elegant and the driver was courteous and helpful.. and the person who was with us in The rowing was very wonderful, and throughout the trip he was explaining about the area, and all those rowing in the boats were actually students from Cambridge University... and they gave us umbrellas and cushions, and we enjoyed ourselves, and we had simple snacks, and there were also boats in the lake that were sold to tourist boats.. We had a nice time...and we were able to go to the university, but when we did, we went to a park that was quite a distance away from it, but it was a beautiful place and the atmosphere was nicer. After that, we had lunch in a wonderful Thai restaurant.

This pub has really been on the up the last six months. Great new management and a real buzz when you walk in. Friendly, great food and atmosphere. Has become one of our regular haunts.

I'm surprised by the special dish of the day. It was with smashed potatoes and sausages but not the normal ingredients you can find at supermarket. The duck dish is flavourful.

We were four adult lunchtime diners and spent not an inconsiderable amount of money on food and drinks. The food was OK. I wanted ONE slice of plain bread to have with my crab as the 2 accompanying quarter bits of toasted bread was totally insufficient. Couldn't believe it when I was asked for £1.95. Admittedly I was given 2 slices and some butter. All businesses need to make a profit but as a business owner myself there is something called goodwill. The location was lovely by the river and the service was good.

Quite a frequent patron at the Granta and have been for a long time. The views are beautiful and the atmosphere is good, though the drinks are, even for Cambridge, on the pricey side. Went today for food with my Mum who was visiting. The food is good, albeit again expensive £15 for small burger and small chips?! . However, the food took 45 minutes to arrive. After around half an hour I asked about the food, and was told it was a 30 40 minute wait. But is this standard? It was said as though it was a pre announced policy, but it was not. And that seems rather a long time to me. In the end, it took 45 minutes anyways. Rather a long time, and no explanation offered. No disrespect to the servers, as I know it is a tough job and not their fault.
