About Us

ABOUT THE CROWN & PUNCHBOWL

The Crown & Punchbowl is a quaint country pub and restaurant with delightful rooms 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. Our nine boutique guest rooms are well-placed for visiting Cambridge, Ely or the Newmarket Races.

This Grade II listed country pub 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 warm and cosy restaurant offers seasonal modern British food in relaxed surroundings. On Sunday lunchtimes we serve one of the best Sunday roasts in Cambridgeshire.

Food Menus

The Crown & Punchbowl is a passionate local country pub and restaurant devoted to providing fresh, seasonal and where possible locally sourced food. Our style can be best described as Modern British & European with a regularly changing menu. Food is keenly prepared, presented and served by a knowledgeable team.

On Sunday lunchtimes we serve a cracking Sunday roast. Choose from roast pork loin, roast sirloin of beef or roast chicken supreme, served with all the trimmings. A walk or cycle along the river is the perfect way to work up an appetite for a Sunday roast and there’s a lovely riverside path from Cambridge city centre.

Please see our blackboards for fresh fish. All fish is supplied by Marrfish from day boats and delivered fresh daily. These dishes change regularly and are from a sustainable source. For more information see our fish sustainability policy.

Drinks Menu

WINE
Our wine list is quite unique in that it focuses on the Languedoc- Roussillon region of France. We have visited the region many times, with staff, and have met very nearly all of the wine makers on our list. We are unique in Cambridgeshire being able to offer first hand experience of the vineyards and a personal connection with the wine makers.

BEER & CIDER
We serve local real ales at sensible prices. We also serve homemade punch and real cider from Cromwell along with a good selection of soft drinks. Keeping this local country pub alive is important to us!
