Overview

Three miles south of Cambridge city centre, in Grantchester Village, is the famous Orchard Tea Garden. When the weather is dry, where better to sit than in the low-slung deck chairs on the grass, shaded by apple trees? Wasps aside, nothing interrupts the laziness of the place. The Pavilion has indoor seating with photographs on the wall evoking the spirit of the past. Morning coffees, afternoon teas and lunches are all served here. Sandwiches and cakes on the service counter prove difficult to resist. The timings vary as per the season. Check website for schedules.
