The Green Man in Huntingdonshire

Great pub, staff, beer and food.

Haven't visited this old favorite for a few years after moving further away. Attended an event in the village on Saturday so dropped in for an early dinner. Met and welcomed by the most friendly, engaging, professional landlady around. Our meals were cooked perfectly, great value, decent pint.... going to have to attend more events in the village we think......

We loved the bottomless brunch. Amazing breakfast with perfect eggs and delicious sausages.

We ate here for a work night out on a Friday, the starters were excellent, clean plates all round. Then we had Really generous main meals, prepared to each persons liking. The service was friendly and attentive. I'd recommend it highly & We'll definitely be back.

Awesome little place to drink money depending on how much you drink

I ate the Salmon dish from the specials menu and my son ate the Lasagna. Both dishes were absolutely delicious. The atmosphere was fantastic. The staff were energetic and attentive and all of the guests seemed to be having a thoroughly enjoyable evening. Very highly recommended.

Great evening out. Went this evening (6/8/24) the restaurant was immaculate, service prompt, polite and efficient. Starters served piping hot and extremely flavourful. Very little wait between finishing starters and mains served steaks cooked to perfection. Whole meal excellent. Very reasonable prices. Definitely visit again 100%

Great afternoon down my local village pub.

Last minute decision to eat out. The windmill was full so we ventured to colne and I’m so glad we did! The place has had a lovely makeover. It was nice before with an old fashioned charm but it is an improvement. The new owner (I’m assuming) was very attentive, service was excellent as was the food. Chef was able to advise on GF options too, he was very helpful. What we liked is it hasn’t lost that comfortable feel, nothing pretentious about it. We came away full and content!

Wonderful pub with the new owners. Fast service and delicious food coupled with a great drinks list and a garden to enjoy it all in, makes this a fantastic place to visit.

So good to see the Green Man thriving with new management. Food is tasty staff very friendly and a lovely beer garden to sit in when the sun is out. Keep it Green Man.

Great proper pub grub at a fair price pleasant and helpful staff

Went for a mid week lunch and it was great! Good quality sandwich and chips, great range of beers and ales on tap, great service. Looks like they've got a lot planned in the diary with chef nights etc. Absolutely going to be heading back

Lovely pub, lovely welcome, great real ale - choice of 3 when we visited, lovely atmosphere and lovely food (and good sized portions). All in all ), good pub.

Fantastic, attentive staff, great value. Portion's were large. Recent owners deserve to be supported. Utterly incomparable to the previous owners. Easy to park. Decent drinks, will definately return with friends and try to help promote this rare gem of a pub.

We had a lovely meal at the Green man, the potion size was very large. I then ate a sticky toffee pudding for dessert which was delicious. The staff were extremely helpful and chatty. The young staff member Taylor was so helpful to us she deserves a mention. 10/10 would definitely recommend eating here.

Second time recently we have been for a family meal and both times it’s been lovely. Since the change in management the food and reception has been great and happy to be able to support our local pub again :) Generous portion sizes and food cooked perfectly.

Staff are lovely and polite but the owner needs to learn some manners, not had argument with a pub owner before

Didn't eat on our visit but would like to next time. Nice atmosphere and great welcoming staff.

Went to steak night last night and the food was excellent perfect steak and accompaniments. Wine very good too and service. Definitely recommend a meal here. I have had two meals recently since new management in, both have been excellent. Thank you to the new team at the Green Man. We will be back again very soon.

How a village pub should be. A good selection of beer and a welcoming atmosphere. Will return to try the food, which looked good.

We had a lovely lunch nice and clean the staff were brilliant definitely go back the toilets were very clean the food was lovely

Great to have new management at the pub who are making this into a much more welcoming place to visit. Had Sunday lunch here last weekend and it was very good. Lots of meat and a good variety of vegetables. Good service and good value for money. Would definitely recommend.

Since new management have taken over the Green Man it has been a pleasure to visit. We booked for the Valentines meal, which was prepared by guest chefs Stuart Tuck & Daniel Tingey. What a great meal we had. There had obviously been a lot of effort made by staff, not only with the food but the table decorations, music and service. Looking forward to the next event. We would also recommend a visit on a regular evening, food good, pub clean and welcoming, staff attentive and friendly. Adam who runs the bar/restaurant is great. The hard work and effort you have all put in to return the pub to the village is very much appreciated.

Under the new owners the pub has a lovely welcoming feel to it. Staff are very friendly and very helpful. We have eaten at the pub several times now and the food has been excellent. A superb village pub with a wonderful atmosphere.

Very disappointed with our lunch on Sunday after seeing many good reviews. We were booked for a 1 30 table and it wasn't particularly busy in the restaurant area but they sat us in between two family tables with children, although could have sat us further up the restaurant area where it was couples dining, I do not have a problem with children as have grown up ones! Had to wait a while for our order to be taken (after people who sat down after us) order 2 starters and 2 mains, one starter they said no ciabatta bread available and would have to have toast- no problems with that. Starters eaten OK plates and cutlery cleared, husbands pork arrived - asked for apple sauce but was just told haven't got any, no apologies. My beef turned up had to ask for cutlery and horseradish took an age to turn up and had told my husband to eat his as no point us both having cold meals. His pork was so tuff he couldn't eat it. Mine was OK so shared my meat with him. When our plates were cleared, lots left on one plate, was asked if everything was OK and explained that couldn't eat the pork. Not once did anyone come up whilst we where having our meal to check that all was OK. Never bothered with deserts as had already run out of ice cream. Went to the bar to pay the bill was not asked if everything had been OK even though the waiter chap had been back behind the bar again, ended paying in full for both meals. The young waitress that was on could also do with some customer training.

Lunch today with a family member from London. Wonderful selection on lunch menu. Food was excellent. Service was so friendly and whilst not so busy atmosphere was good and we where able to enjoy quality time. Bonus was I don't have to cook tonight and double bonus was seniors discount today. Highly recommend a visit 👌 👍

They were not serving food at the time but the Green Man had just been taken over by new owners. They are serving food now. Atmosphere was great. Log fire was lit so made it cosy. Staff friendly.

Just reopened, l enjoyed my visit, good quality beer - Good luck :)

Stopped for lunch today. Refreshingly friendly and pleasant staff, esp the 2 ladies. Welcoming to everyone. Good food and atmosphere.

A bit basic decor-wise but the food was above average.

Good food, but the service was very slow. Staff are very pleasnt

Not too bad. Food was pretty bland and not very well cooked. I had gammon and chips with peas. The gammon was undercooked (not raw), but with no colour at all, the fat was not crispy or rendered down at all. The chips were over cooked, and the peas looked like they were out of a tin and the egg was hard and over cooked (supposed to be a fried egg). It's a shame that the food let's this lovely local pub down. I know times are hard, but getting gammon and chips right can't be that difficult. On a plus side, the Guiness tasted great.

I would like to give more star very welcoming pub roast dinner was absolutely delicious I would order again when I’m up next very friendly and welcoming the owners are really nice great place10/10 for service.

Nice little pub in the village of Colne. Little pub garden. Food often good.

The food was lovely, but it took a bit longer than expected

This is a very nice little country pub. A few friends and I visited on our motorcycles for a bike meet on Wednesday evening. There where around fifty bikes there altogether. The landlords also put on a special bikers menu. I had a bacon roll. We will hopefully be visiting the green man more regularly. All the people and staff were friendly. And some fantastic bikes to look at.

Came here for bike night yesterday, lovely food and an amazing service. Everyone is so friendly here which you don't usually get with other pub venues. An another thing to point out, is if you're a woman whose on her monthly they have free pads and tampons, in which other chains you would have to buy from the little box. I was honestly amazed.

Had a birthday meal there this evening, food was fantastic and service was brilliant- fully recomend.

New landlords have kept the village pub atmosphere. Good value, tasty drinks.

Great food and lovely staff, totally recommend as somewhere to visit.

Fab food usually. We invited family from Rushden and told them how good the coliflower cheese was. The chef informed us after we had ordered that he hadn't any left and the meat was almost gone. If we all ordered the carvery there wouldn't have been enough. The staff and food are amazing with the exception of today's chef who was argumentive and more concerned with vaping and talking to a table of young girls than anything else. I'm mortified at just how rude he was. Real shame as the rest of the staff are outstanding

Very pleasant pub,I haven't been in there for many years, and it's still very nice

First visit to this pub ,nice atmosphere good selection of food and beers, Family friendly and reasonably priced ,definitely recommend .

Friendly staff. Good food. A great evening.

Just popped into The Green Man for Thursday carvery. Staff were extremely helpful and friendly, food was absolutely excellent. Highly recommended!

Lovely little pub. Staff extremely friendly. Carvery was excellent. Highly recommended!

Friendly atmosphere and wonderful food

Disgusting mannered staff. Rude and unprofessional. No manners. Food was cold and not cooked properly would not recommend at all. Poor hygiene and dirty toilets. The smoking area is filthy and riddled with litter xoxo

Good quality food from an extensive menu

Ist visit & it was good. Had a meal after scattering ashes of a dear friend.

Always great place for a few beers with your mates. Good is still good, spicy meaty pizza was lovley. Lovley new landlord and landlady to.

First visit since covid. New management . . . Standards have dipped. Scruffy and beer refused to clear. Large geranium troughs now large ashtrays A big disappointment. Never again. and bitter refuses P0clear. Former bedding areas now large ashtrays

Brilliant local pub cracking atmosphere definitely recommend 👌

Stopped off yesterday for lunch. First time for a while l must admit. New owner is doing a great job, Staff were attentive,, has a good menu and a good feeling. Well worth trying

Great service & menu choice. We'll worth a visit

I along with my wife and two friends returned to this pub for a meal and drink. I had read the recent trip advisor reviews and was a little apprehensive as to whether the quality of food and service had declined since my last visit. Fortunately my experience was all good. The prawn cocktail starter was generous and our main courses of Chicken and Bacon pasta ,Scampi and chips and Fish and cips were hot and delicious .We all enjoyed the desserts . The menu is not extensive but this is good as the food was freshly cooked The service was very good and apart from the difficulty in paying the bill split three ways by card there were no real issues . The entire meal including drinks amounted to just less than £100.00. FYI there is a largei eer garden which was well used on this warm summer evening.

Great pub. Our first visit at the bike night We will be back for a bit longer next time and sample the food. 😎👍

Great little pub, nice food, great and friendly service and dog friendly

Went for bike night. Change of ownership, friendly staff, didn’t eat there so can’t comment on the food. Date May 2022

went down for the weekly bike night. lovely evening great food on offer.

Great beer and super friendly staff. Bike night great fun.

Went to the first Tuesaday bike night at the Green Man. Had the pizza deal and it was 10/10. Staff could not be more friendly. Have added it to our list of regular rides out. Some really nice winding roads too. What's not to love.

We popped in hear on our way home whilst out for a bike ride. Since the last landlord left The Green Man has gone a down hill, and the owners not the current landlord unfortunately need to spend some money and give it a refurbishment. Replace the threadbare carpet in the lounge bar, paint over the dreary wood panelling in the restaurant just generally tidy the place up. The outside space also needs tidying to make it more appealing an hour with a set of shears would make all the differance. My wife said that in her opinion the ladies toilet were dirty, which bears out the cobwebs hanging down from the beams and ceiling in the restaurant. The munu for us was very boring we settled on the fish and chips which was very good indeed, but no one ever asked us how our meal was or if we needed anything else, having said that the other tabe did. My wife used to go here with a large group of friends 10 to 16 a few times a year, I am afraid she will not be bringing them back. Its a shame we are running short of good pubs in this area.

Great food reasonable price lovely staff

Nice food and good service, it could do with some place mats on the table or some kind of covering

I was served a cold raw burger twice after sending it back and asking for it well done, in the end I didn't want anything else to eat because my table was all finished eating and I was put off completely, I've never been served a raw burger/steak burger in any restauraunt as theyre always cooked well done and according to the Food Standards Agency (FSA), you should cook burgers until steaming hot all the way through, until no pink meat remains and the juices run clear. The waiter was lovely and apologetic but the chef should have come out and apologised. Everyone else's food was okay but it dampened the evening.

Beautiful quaint little pub, excellent service with every need catered for. Menu varied and food cooked beautifully, well worth visit

I love this place, we went for valentines evening and the food was amazing, staff are so friendly and welcoming.

Went for an evening meal, prices were okay and service was good, a little bit cold in the restaurant area.

We thought we would go to the Green Man for lunch as we hadn't visited since the new owners took it over a few months ago. We walked into the lounge but decided to sit in the bar as there was a small group of older men in the lounge who ignored our greetings of "hello" as we walked in. Apart from this group sipping their drinks and scowling there were two tables occupied in the restaurant, one table was already eating and the other table placed their order as we arrived. We ordered two main courses and waited, and waited...... During our wait, an argument broke out in the bar amongst the men who began shouting at each other. The 2 ladies behind the bar tried to calm things down but it took maybe 10 minutes. After over half hour we asked how long our food would be, we were told there was one more table to be served and ours was next - another 3 or 4 minutes at most. After 5 minutes we decided to leave. The ladies behind the bar were apologetic and the chef's incompetence is clearly beyond their control but we won't be rushing back. I hope the new owners manage to turn things around as it used to be a great pub with a friendly atmosphere.

We had a Sunday roast and it was excellent, service was impeccable beer was great and truly felt like a cosy village pub ... What more would you want on a cold winter Sunday?!

Had a nice Sunday roast there the other day. All very pleasant but the gents loos could do with a revamp.

Very good food St reasonable price.Good ambiance

Came in here whilst staying away and working nearby. The food is really delicious pub grub. I had the New Yorker Chicken (aka Hunters Chicken) and if I had room I would have eaten it twice it was that tasty. Very friendly staff too. Will venture back here again next time I'm down this way. Top notch.

Lovely meal and good service xx

Friendly village pub with great food!

Lovely meal, great beer and friendly service

We popped out to find somewhere for a pint and a bit of tea after working the Bank Holiday and we were greeted by smiley faces and 4 beers to choose from! Food was fantastic and the service was exceptional!! It was the first time we had been out with our 8 month old son to a pub and the land lord and his staff made us very welcome with him and interacted with him getting lots of smiles. A wonderful proper little gem of a pub which are getting really hard to find. 10/10!!!!

Great food,and first class service/staff.

Words fail me how good this place is food is amazing

We had no knowledge about the pub and chose it on spec, because of its location. But we would go back like a shot if in the area. I am gluten and dairy free and my wife is dairy free; it did not phase them at all, but they adapted dishes and catered perfectly. The service was friendly and helpful and the food delicious. The prices surprisingly low.

Little classic pub. Cosy inside out. Very friendly locals.

Nice pub, spacious and good beer garden. Friendly and helpful staff

Lovely welcome. Good food, reasonable price. Proper English country pub!

Lovely pub, excellent beer, delicious food, staff are very welcoming, friendly and accommodating. I definitely recommend the green man for a quiet drink, or a home cooked meal

Had always looked at going here for lunch but didn’t get round to it ! But today on a whim phoned and booked an outdoor table. We were shown to an outside table reserved for us by very helpful friendly staff. All Table service so had a beer first. great to see 2 very good local beers on draft ivo brewery which is probably 2 miles away and papworth about the same also goods old ghost ship. Great start, I had a roast beef dinner excellent portion with tender beef. They have a really good vegan/vegetarian menus as well. my wife was well happy with her vegetarian tart with salad and potatoes. We also both had a different Cheesecake each with cream. to finish. Absolutely stuffed and happy will definitely be back soon💯%

Really enjoyed our 1st meal out this year. The pub had 2 local real ales (from Papworth brewery in Earith) as well as Ghost Ship from Adnams. We shared the delicious starter, and without having to ask were given 2 side plates. We also had mains & dessert. Despite the heat, I had jam roly poly served with one of the best pub custard I've ever had. Don't tell them, but the next time I might order custard on the side as sometimes you get extra that way! The beer garden was pleasant with plenty of room. There was also a covered area.

Friendly and efficient staff. Food was delcious and felt safe throughour our stay. Good value

Group of friends went to visit after a long day at work. Came here to a half an hour wait in the kitchen which hast

Great pub great food fantastic service 👍👍

Have just moved to the village and it was amazing. The service,good and place was excellent ... will Definately be back xx

Friendly service and good food. Will definitely eat here again

What a local pub should be. Just delightful.

Absolutely good food and real ale. 3 to choose from and all good from a local brewer too.

Wonderful local pub run by a friendly team. Always welcoming. Has an extensive vegan menu.

Very welcoming pub. Popped in on a weekday evening 3 adults and a dog. We were served at a table and expressed a desire to sit in the garden. Staff lead the way opening doors and access for us. Restaurant appeared busy for a weekday so can only assume the food is to a good quality. Dog was welcomed with open arms by the staff and other customers. Very nice village pub. Will return to try the food in the future.

Excellent vegan menu, best in the area!

Delicious food and very friendly staff

Friendly, good beer & nice food. They have made a real effort to be safe during the lockdown while providing an enjoyable experience. Full marks!
