I can't remember where I heard about this place - probably on cam.misc. Anyway, I have a week off work so I thought we could go and then wander round Ely for a while. It really is one of the most isolated pubs I've ever been to - you turn off the A10 from Cambridge to Ely towards Stretham, drive through the village and then eventually you cross a railway line. Turn left there and follow a long track and eventually you get to the pub at the confluence of the Cam and another river.
Beer was good, and the food was pretty good. The pub had a good atmosphere too. It's really nice being somewhere that's just quiet. If I'd come by bike it would have been nice to just stay there a while and have a few beers - alas I was driving. It looks like the present buildings are going to be knocked down and then rebuilt, so if you want to go, go soon (and ring first) or wait till sometime next year.
Hopefully my phone data cable will come soon and I can start posting some of the photos I have been taking of places.
