The Green Man in South Cambridgeshire

Just went for a drink, nice friendly and good atmosphere

Was a bit worried as it was so busy when we arrived but the staff were super friendly and attentive, food was delicious. Overall a great evening. Highly recommend

Lovely afternoon out. Great location, service, food, staff, beer selection and overall vibe. We will be returning. Highly recommend.

Having not been to the area before, my wife and I happened upon The Green Man by accident. Staff made us feel incredibly welcome and - with its excellent selection of beer - we were persuaded to stay for a few hours of merriment in their excellent beer garden. After wandering around the local area, we decided to return for dinner where we were treated to the most fantastic culinary experience. Great beer, great company and great food. What more could we have asked for on what would otherwise been a very dull Saturday?

I visited with friends and found the staff friendly, helpful and the food excellent. Atmosphere and other clientele were awesome

I came here for a birthday celebration earlier this year and had a fantastic evening. The service was wonderful and atmosphere very warm and cosy. Simply delicious food served up for us all, so much so, that my family keep asking when we're going to come back for more. All three courses were amazing, whenever I come back for more food I'll work my way around the menu. Cannot wait to come back for more

Lovely staff, great service and the food was lovely . Will 100% come again ! Definitely recomend if looking for a nice pub lunch.

Very nice food and friendly service!

Great community owned pub. Came here by accident, on the way back from Lowestoft to London, a fantastic find.

The Sunday roast was exceptional honestly one of the best I've had.

This pub is local to our fishing club. We often used to drink in there. Recently they have been getting funny, with erratic opening hours and calling last orders early. Three time in the past few months we have been refused service for early last order calls or turning up 1 minute too late. Used to be a good pub but now sliding downhill. Won’t visit again!

Lovely pub, very good staff, great choice of food and all at reasonable prices. Burgers do not disappoint

Amazing burger from the specials menu with the best onion rings I've had for a long time. Lovely crispy chips. Pudding was toffee and pecan roulade, presentation was fabulous. Yum yum.

We usually love our food at The Green Man, but it wasn't up to its usual standard last Sunday. Such a shame.

It was excellent and wonderful place to eat and to drink went there with my bother have a very good Sunday roast dinner good staff and friendly

Lovely pub. Nice setting and the staff are very friendly. Would like so see good consistency on food served. It can vary from disappointing to really good. Bar bites are not value for money.

My husband and I visited The Green Man for the first time this evening on the recommendation of other friends. The loveliest burger and fish and chips we have had in a long time! The service was impeccable, both of the young girls working made sure we had everything we needed throughout the experience. We hadn’t booked but were immediately accommodated. We will be back!!!

Birthday Dinner ....three of us went .....food..just WOW!! Never been here but at request of Birthday Boy ...Lovely looking Pub ..nice n old n pukka inside . Staff serving very friendly and polite ....had starters ,mains ...and birthday boy had a dessert . Everything absolutely scummy....tasty...hot where applicable and VERY filling ! Deffo going to get a return visit ...nice one

I have been here several times now. The food is always great and the pub has a lovely friendly atmostphere.

Excellent Roast Dinner and totally yummy desserts. Need a return trip

This pub is fantastic. Mike is a ray of sunshine in my life, Hayley a golden beam of joy, Rose less akin to the speed of light but still bearable. But in all seriousness, a good pub run by good people creating a welcoming atmosphere. Good food, good beer, 10/10 pub.

I come here every time I’m in the area. It’s bloody lovely. Staff are great, a pleasure to see every time. Beer slaps, food slaps. Cannot recommend enough, good people doing good pub.

We dropped in for lunch for the first time and are so glad we did. We had a lovely warm and friendly welcome. It was not overly busy but we loved the cosy feeling and gentle green colour scheme. We ordered sticky chilli chicken wings plus bread, hummus and olives to start. Wow, we shared both and they were equally delicious...and plentiful. We browsed a very full menu and specials board. Somehow we both ordered fish and chips. What a wonderful choice! Beautiful fish with homemade tartare sauce and peas. Chips were huge and unfortunately, having had starters, we could not finish them. But, next time..and there will definitely be a next time...we will have a main then dessert. We did look at the selection and were really impressed. All in all, a lovely village pub and find.

they said they were wheelchair accessible over the phone, they claim it on Google ....but they're not. Very disappointing customer service. Just buy a fold away ramp! They cost like £100.

Had a fabulous Sunday lunch here today. Would totally recommend ☺️

Great beer. Didn't order food but what came out the kitchen looked amazing. Update. Got back for Sunday lunch and not disappointed 👍

Brilliant food and great service. Each had a different meal and each was exceptional. Games for the kids so they don’t get bored.

Great pub, lovely food my husband had the ribs and said they were the best he had in a long time, I had the steak which was lovely and tender, desserts were delicious and staff were great! Worth a visit

Pretty basic pub food but no problem with that. The fact is the pub is still open, is welcoming, has good real ales and doesn't over-charge. Well done.

We had a very pleasant light lunch on a quiet wet Tuesday so probably not the best time for atmosphere but a good experience.

lovely place to have a pint after a hard days work and the roast dinners are amazing and generous my children when eaten there have always gone home full and happy very nice management always up for a chat expecially mike he will chat your ear off well done to the staff and management of this pub lovely place...

Given the day ,village show ,it was exceptional service from staff

Turned up 1pm for our Mothers Day lunch to find there was no booking even though we booked online in January! Very disappointed family!

So wanted this to be a great experience being a local and having heard good things. Nevertheless, there are some serious shortfalls, which really need to be worked on. The sharing pre-meal dishes were simple but very tasty and all augured well. The drinks selection is a bit poor unless you are a real ale fan. Staropramen and Carlsberg on tap? Really? Why not try some local breweries for lager such as Brewboard? Very limited. As a free house maybe experiment a little more? As for the main courses, the mushroom risotto looked like it had been reheated and dumped on a plate like a cow pat - overlay swathed in garlic and rather bland. The 'homemade' pie looked suspiciously like (and tasted like) a Pukka pie from the local chippy. £18 for said pie along with a bit of mash and cabbage is just not on. The burgers (chicken and beef sampled) were ok, but with lower case letters on purpose. Finally, please leave a gap between courses - no sooner had we chewed the last mouthfall of one course and hey presto the next course was already in front of us. It's not like the place was so busy you were pushed for time. Ver sadly it was all a bit disappointing - I had hoped for so much more.

Steak night is well worth it! Wednesday is steak night. 2 steaks, a bottle of wine and desserts for £45. Our steaks were the best I have out in a very long time. Cooked perfectly, served with tomatoes, mushroom and fries. All the food was nicely presented and the service was friendly and efficient. Thank you all involved and we will be back to check out lunch and other offers.

Lovely atmosphere , great food and fantastic service. Highly recommended

Gad a most enjoyable evening with friend's. Food, Service and atmosphere was excellent.

Always a nice meal to be had here!

Went on the monthly fish Friday, the chef is a genius 👌. The Tuna Carpaccio was amazing. We shared a fish platter which was immense, fantastic value and tasted fantastic. It was a Triumph of the freshest shellfish and the tastiest fish dishes. The atmosphere was wonderful and service was the friendliest I have ever experienced. Definitely recommended and we will be going back.

We have just had a lovely lunch at this pub. They accomadated 8 of us and nothing was too much trouble. The food was lovely and hot and despite varied choices, they all came out beautifully presented. The lady that took my booking and dealt with us today was exceptional and a credit to your pub x

Excellent, quaint little pub! Gorgeous aesthetic and delicious food!

Wow what a great place for a meal, one of the best pub meals I've had in ages.Staff very friendly and the meal was great , only had a light meal it was huge .

Really lovely pub. Staff we friendly and helpful and the food was delicious!

Lovely food, great staff, well worth a visit.

Fantastic food and great experience

Great local pub with good food. Community-owned and it shows in the welcome and service.

Went for lunch there yesterday 7/11 Three out of the 4 had the seafood Fish and squid. We we’re up all night indigestion and stomach cramps. Will be taking that place of our list.

One of the best roasts I've had. Lovely pub, very friendly and helpful staff. Will definitely visit again. My mum also loved the vegetarian option roast, said it was the nicest she has had. The only slight negative I had was the price of dessert, £8.00 is quite steep, and it was very small.

Pie and pud night on a Thursday is great. Food was delicious, service was incredible. Absolutely will visit the Green man again

hands down best pub food in Thriplow

The muscles are nice, the sauce was tasty and the bread was fluffy and flavourful. The honey roasted ham was so nice and sweet and paired nicely with the chips and eggs. Good portion sizes with okay pricing. Not much variety for desserts though.

Absolutely fabulous environment for food and drinks. Excellent customer service and quality food. Really impressed and will definitely be visiting again. I personally recommend the Turkey dinner. 👍

Lovely dinner at The Green Man. Fish and Chips cooked perfectly and a delicious apple and plum crumble for pudding. Really lovely little pub with charming traditional interior.

Fantastic Sunday Lunch! Warm welcome, great ambiance, super service and lovely food - no hesitation in recommending

After three months it’s a joy to have the Green Man once more at the heart of Thriplow. Sadly, we’ve not yet been able to try the food but the range of real ales (Wherry, Doombar, London Pride) is keeping us happy as is the new wine list. Lots of hidden gems, French focused but broad. House wines come from the Ardeche. Who knew they even made wine there? A friendly welcome from Alex and Mike to both humans and their canine companions. Will post again when we can get to eat. Reports from others are universally good.

We had a fantastic dinner on Friday evening. The food and drink were perfect, not expensive and the pricing was just right. The staff were great too!I am so pleased to see the doors of The Green Man open again, and I will continue to support it as much as possible!

It's wonderful to have our local pub open again. We've eaten here three times in the past couple of weeks and the chefs can cook! Beautifully cooked fish (juicy sea bass and also an excellent haddock and chips) and a fantastic traditional Sunday roast were some of our dishes. The beers are well kept, the wine list is extensive and the three reds I've tried have all been excellent. Alex, Mike and Ben are lovely to talk to and seem keen to meet the needs of locals and visitors alike. They've only been open a couple of weeks and I'm sure will be trying things out and making changes and additions as they go. Please be kind and considerate when giving your judgments, especially as they were keen to get the pub open and had lots of new staff to train.

Visited The Green Man for a lovely dinner with friends, this pub is well worth a visit. It is recently under new management, the staff were friendly and attentive. The food was amazing, couldn’t get a picture of the lamb as I just wanted to eat it but would thoroughly recommend this dish, the portion sizes were great for the money, probably didn’t need all 3 courses as we were stuffed afterwards. Dogs are welcome too they even had some treats for our pooches

Visited this pub a few weeks ago with some friends for dinner, cant knock the food or the service - you HAVE to try the arancini!!! Will definitely be back for seconds.

Have been on two occasions since the pub has reopened under new management. The first occasion just for a drink and the second for food with a small group of friends. Both times the service was dreadful. Booked in advance and they had lost our booking; had to practically get up from our seats to wave down staff to order our food after being sat down 20+ mins. The starters were tasty but pathetic portions especially considering the rather hefty prices, and almost all of our mains were inedible! When staff came over to ask why we hadn't eaten them, we politely said they tasted very similar to cardboard and the manager was rude and didn't offer to cook us anything else! After that we were not asked if we wanted any further drinks or desserts and had to go to the bar to get our bill! Poor service, rude manager, and even worse food for a very expensive price! Very sad as it is our local and it used to be very good, but I know I certainly won't be going back, the Chequers it is!

WE HAVE MOVED.Chris and team can now be found at The Chequers in Fowlmere for the same great service and food.Thank you to every customer who has walked through the doors since 2015, it's been a blast. All the best to the new management and we will see you at The Chequers soon.Chris and team

Walked here in the sunshine, looking forward to a few pints and a natter. Huge disappointment to find just the one beer on, the undrinkably hoppy Simple Pleasures. Apparently they are doing a runner and shutting down this weekend, and the stalwart manageress did not know what if anything would happen next. This is another sorry tale of a once great local pub (admittedly a while ago now) gradually brought low by poor management and poor choices.

Great service can't wait to get inside from the 17th of May

Such a great pub. Haggis and poached egg is amazing. Well worth a walk there

It was pretty cold and gloomy. I had expected that. But hardly any food offered. We had vegatable stew and soup. They tasted and looked exactly the same. Shepherd's pie on the menu at pounds. Cheesy chips that was about it.The toilets you had to walk through the very dark car park car to reach. It needs to be lit up as it is dangerous.I had a miserable evening.I know things are very difficult during Covid.

Great ambience being outside on the village green with pretty subtle lighting. Warm with blankets and patio heater. Staff very friendly and welcoming. Didn’t like being next to a table of 5 smokers whilst we were eating in the marquee. Other guests were more polite and went outside of the marquee to smoke. Food plentiful. Sadly won’t visit again during Covid times unless the smoking policy changes. Will certainly be back when indoors again as usually love this little pub.

Went today for late Sunday lunch with our 3 children after a trip to IWM Duxford. A great discovery. At the moment they are only doing outdoor service but they have a marquee set up with heater and blankets available. It was quiet when we got there (4pm) and the waitress talked us through ordering and paying using their website which was all easy. Food was delicious and staff friendly. Will definitely be going back. The only thing I would say is that the on the limited menu there was no main course veggie option. One of my children is vegetarian and she had to have Greek salad and chips. Would be good to have a hot vegetarian meal on the menu as well. Otherwise no complaints.

We’ve eaten at the Green Man many times in the past and wanted to support them in these tricky times so took a group of friends for lunch on Saturday. It was excellent in every way! Brilliant menu / ordering system - simple and effective. Drinks and hot, delicious, freshly cooked food delivered to a nearby “drop table” for us to collect (avoiding breaking social distancing rules). I can not fault them! All with a cheery smile. Thank goodness for the Green Man!

Excellent place, beer is mediocre but nice atmosphere. Food is great. update after covid restrictions: they have extended seating in the nearby lawns which is great. what's not so good is now you must order on app. also takes a while to get a "quick drink". But the biggest disappointment was the menu. Now that they have put it online, i could see first time that their chips are not vegetarian and fried together with meat. Previously when used to order, they told me its vegetarian! Staff is still good and the place is probably the best in the area so good option if you are not a vegetarian!

Great staff and very welcoming on a cold day

Best pub ever. Can't really say much more, honestly.

Considering the times we are in with Covid being such a player on the scene at the moment, this pub has catered very well for this by having seating outside and none inside. Admittedly this will inherently come with a downside in the winter, but one problem at a time, for the time being it suits just fine. There is a limited menu with limited drinks. If you are after trying more than one real ale then you are going to be challenged as this place is trying to get by and survive therefore it doesn't have the array you would have seen post Covid. All this being said however doesn't detract from the fact that this is a lovely pub which a proper local feel to it. The staff range from Scotland to AUS and are very engaging with no hesitation to converse. The food from the limited menu is very good and the mains are either tapas styled or you can choose from a chicken cheeseburger or fish fingers burger, each lovely in their own right.

Best pub I have visited post lock-down. A lot of though has gone in to make it work and still be safe. Delicious food and drinks, great service and atmosphere - not easy to achieve in these challenging times!

We were staying in Thriplow and ate at the Green Man on bank holiday Monday evening, the food and service was excellent so we went back when it opened again on the Thursday. Covid means that the pub has moved outside with extra tables and a great tented area to provide shelter. Hopefully they can return indoors in time for guests to enjoy the roaring fireside again later in the year.

Very good pub. Excellent food and good range of drinks. Very friendly staff and pleasant outside seating on the green. Child friendly spot, well worth visiting

Limited menu misleading and expensive would not return under any circumstances

Great, service, food, beautiful setting

Visited with a couple of friends for drinks and tapas at lunchtime. Great service, they even replaced a dish we didn’t like. Drinks and food aren’t cheap but worth the money. Large garden so plenty of space for social distancing! Would highly recommend.

We were staying nearby and saw this place on trip advisor. Read the reviews and so booked a table. We both had lovely starters. For the main course we chose three choices from the tapas plates and one from the main menu. Just gorgeous. Too full for a dessert. If ever we we visit the area again I’d definitely come back here to eat.

We were introduced to The Green Man by some friends and wow, we were impressed. Their tapas style menu is fabulous. Great food, great service, great atmosphere, good value - what more could anyone ask for.

1st time eating here tonight, had lovely Sunday roast veg could have cooked a bit longer but that is just or preference. Yorkshire pudding was huge full to the brim. Staff very friendly and a good atmosphere would highly recommend.

Lovely food, lovely atmosphere, good service, beautiful village

The pub was busy which is unusual for a village pub at Tuesday lunch time. We soon found out why as the food and service were excellent.

Fantastic Sunday roast, welcoming,freindly,helpful staff , fabulous meal of home made food including dessert, cant recommend enough and looking forwards to another visit as soon as possible.

The perfect stop after a Sunday walk! Great service, friendly staff, lovely atmosphere, great selection of drinks and absolutely amazing food (highly recommend the apple crumble cheesecake!!)

Three of us had a simply superb lunch (several tapas dishes) in The Green Man. The staff were attentive and friendly and the food and ambience could not have been better. Well done everyone at The Green Man

(Traducido por Google) Tuve un almuerzo encantador con amigos en el Hombre Verde Todos fuimos a por su Tapas, que fue una elección divertida y sabrosa. No son sus platos españoles habituales, sino pequeñas porciones de diferentes platos. El ambiente era relajado y cálido ... El servicio fue atento y alegre. Buscando regresar en un futuro muy cercano (Original) Had a lovely lunch with friends at the Green Man We all went for Thier take on Tapas,which was fun and tasty choice . Not your usual Spanish dishes but little portions of different dishes. Ambiance was relaxed and warm..The service was attentive and cheerful . Looking to return in the very near future

I know it's the only restaurant in Thriplow but it is the only one I would want to visit. Staff were very friendly and welcoming. The pub was a beautiful country pub and you felt like part of the community when you visit. The food was amazing and I love the fact that they have a menu based on what is seasonal and only using the freshest of products. Would love to go back again to try something new and would highly recommend travelling to the pub for a very good meal.

(Traducido por Google) Gran pub comunitario dirigido por la comunidad. (Original) Great community run village pub.

My sister and I arrived late for our lunch booking, despite this the staff were welcoming and we enjoyed the lunch, the waiting deserve a special mention for their help with choosing the dishes, we ordered 5 vegan tapas dishes together with grilled Haloumi, My white wine although inexpensive was very good, unfortunately they didn't have any vegan certified wines to accompany the vegan food?. We both agreed that the dessert of BlackBerry and apple crumble with sorbet was divine.This community pub has certainly got the formula right for ambiance, limited but quality quality food and wine and most importantly staff that are enthusiastic and attentive, with super talented chefs!

We visited for a meal early on a Saturday evening - cosy atmosphere and warm, friendly service. Several families eating there too and staff were catering well for the little folk. The food was superb - good choice of dish (I had read online they only offered 3 options per course but there are more than that) cooked to perfection and reasonably priced. Would definitely visit again and am interested to visit the sister pub in Fowlmere.

(Traducido por Google) Maravilloso ambiente y buena comida. Personal muy amable que da un buen servicio. Una comida muy agradable a la hora del almuerzo. (Original) Wonderful atmosphere and great food. Very friendly staff who give good service. A very pleasant lunchtime meal.

Popped in for a quick beer to check out this community run hostelry and ended up staying for lunch - the food looked too attractive to miss out on. We opted for light snacks which were ideal and very tasty served with a smile and reasonably priced.Rev James beer perfect and the atmosphere was friendly and welcoming. Full marks, we will be back...

Me encanta, sobretodo su comida y la buena atención de sus empleados. Volvería de nuevo. Gracias

Excellent menu, caring attentive staff! Taking on board dietary requirements. Absolutely fabulous! Will be back.
