Old Crown Girton

You head out to Girton, past the college, and find yourself in one of those proper English pubs that feels less like a tourist attraction and more like someone's extended living room. The Old Crown has that comfortable, lived-in quality—creaky floors, real ale on tap, the sort of place where regulars have their spots. Sunday roasts draw people from across Cambridge, and the food is genuinely done well without any fussiness about it. It's the kind of local where you might bump into academics, villagers, and students all sharing the same bar.
