The Griffin in East Cambridgeshire

Traditional friendly real ale pub with 3 draft ales and loads of snacks. Great pint, pub dog and friendly locals.

i found the prices great value for money , and certainly will go back food tasty, and fills you up , good quality , hot , and looked nice staff freindly helpful aware of Allergen advice clean , tidy , even local regulars were friendly

Visited the griffin(March, Cambridgeshire) today around half 2 for lunch with family, ordered the wrap and chips and don’t get me wrong it was lovely, the price of this was ridiculous and feel like I’ve been ripped off, this meal was around £7 and the amount of chips I had, I think was unfair and won’t be visiting here anymore for food.

We loved our meals at the Griffin. The staff were so friendly and welcoming! A nice relaxed, friendly atmosphere. A must visit if you are in the area.

Short notice decision to have Sunday lunch. Really friendly and relaxed place. Great beer and enormous portions of excellent roast. Choice of 4 meat and excellent veg. Good service and atmosphere. Seating a bit limited if you are a group of 5+ so best to book if you are.

This was a big family get together for Sunday roast , just over 20 of us ! I was really pleased with the food and service . To accommodate this many people as quickly and efficiently as they did was fantastic for us , the food was lovely and more than enough , nothing was to much trouble for the staff and I couldn’t be happier ! Made our rare family get together a real pleasure ! Thank you !

We had never been to this town and entered the only open pub hoping for the best. It look pretty stanadard but once inside we had the warmest welcome, not just from the owners but all the locals. I am a vegetarian and ordered the mushroom stroganoff, they had run out of mushrooms and without second thought one of the owners was out to get some locally and it was not standard pub grab but absolutely delicious, as was all the food and puddings. We left three hours later very full and very happy at our unexpected discovery of good food and company.

Came into a friendly village pub with live music on Wednesday night nice beer and pleasant feel to the place

Had a couple of early evening drinks in The Griffin during our time staying at the Marina. Proper local drinking establishment with nice beers on offer. Locals made us feel welcome and nice to sit near the log burner as not the warmest pub. Hardly ever saw food being served so decided not to eat here. Not the best looking pub inside...needs much TLC but you get what you expect from a good old pub!

This is a quiet friendly pub, and the locals are very welcoming, open fires with the classic pub dog sleeping nearby. old fashioned wooden beams and brasses hung around... this is like being in a time warp the last of the real pubs. The food was very nice I ordered a 12oz steak and got what looked like a 18oz the portions were rather large to say the least, I am a man who can eat but I struggled to clear my plate! seems like they have a good balance of all things I would highly recommend this place!

Loads of locals lunching when we called in for a snack - a really nice and informal atmosphere, dogs and all, among a low beamed warren of rooms. Parking is a bit tight, so if you are likely to be it's best to walk! We had good toasted sandwiches and god beer and good chat at a good price, so what's not to like?

Another great experience at The Griffin. The live music is great and always makes for a fun and entertaining evening. Good selection of ales, wine and importantly prosecco!

Typical country pub with open fires and a real traditional feel. The Sunday roasts are great and good value at £8.95 each. We'll definitely be back

This place has a special place in my heart. Pub grub, decent beer and the staff can't do enough. The customers also make it; lovely people!

very friendly staff and locals including dogs made very welcome by all a village pub with lots of character and very good food

Aparecimos como camping cerca. Es un pub tradicional, que nos gustó, pero nos sentimos un poco desgastadas y el jardín estaba lleno de jóvenes con una mesa llena de vasos vacíos. Estaba al lado de el marco de la escalada, lo que significaba que nuestros hijos no quieren jugar. El personal era amable y estoy seguro es genial como local pero nos sentimos fuera de lugar como visitantes.

No puedo creer que el propietario nos dijo que el bar estaba cerrado mientras sirve otro cliente. Lo maleducados! Estoy devastado nunca conseguí una bebida y tenía que salir como un alma de la vergüenza. Basta de l, nunca volveré de nuevo después de la manera en que me hizo sentir.

Pasamos un tiempo en Navidad y Año Nuevo en Isleham mientras visitaba los suegros y disfruté mi tiempo en La Griffin. Tres buenas cervezas y la gama habitual de Lagers, amables y cómodos sofás antiguos de perro para tumbarse. Tienes que tener en cuenta las vigas del techo bajo si estás más de 5'10" y yo casi ¡se golpeo yo unas cuantas veces.

Muy simpáticas atmosphire de buena comida de excelente pub sin duda volveremos en un fin de semana para la noche de banda

We called in here after 2pm hoping to get something to eat and received a very warm welcome, a delicious ham sandwich and coffee.

We went (4 of us) to listen to Jack on a Saturday night. Great band...great craic...and the surprise was the food.Bloomin lovely, a 12 oz steak more like 16oz, hand cut...superbly cooked, nothing too much trouble....and great service.The prices were great value for money.Our table also ate Calamari, Soup, garlic mushrooms and Japanese style prawns...mains were Gammon, steaks and scampi.All lovely...HUGE portions...a proper pub.I travel a lot and really enjoyed this night, the pub and its staff made a night a great night.THANK YOU

Visited here several times this week whilst holidaying in Isleham Marina. A really friendly welcome from the host and the regulars. Dog are welcome which is great.The food was exceptionall 12oz Steaks were sublime so had to go back and have another later in the week. They also have a good range of beers and serve a nice pint of Guiness. Will be back!

A very nice building with equally good interior and exterior decoration and maintenance. As soon as you enter the pub you are met with a colourful and well presented bar and restaurant. areas. A good range of beers, wines and spirits are offered and a varied menu of English and Indian dishes. I tried the Pandora chicken which was new to me and I was delighted with the quality and quantity of the food.Rapid, friendly service completed a very enjoyable experience.

On holiday and were pleased they allowed us to take dog inside. The pub is a popular locals village pub but we were made welcome and several locals came and were chatting with us so had a pleasant evening. We both opted for sirloin steaks and were pleasantly surprised as to how good the meals were. Large 12oz steaks, with lovely chips and a fresh, nicely presented salad. There were no steak knives however that said the steaks were so good they were easy to cut, with no fat and they just dissolved in your mouth.

On holiday in the area so we used Trip Advisor as usual to find a place to eat. This pub seemed satisfactory as it did food and dogs were allowed. The Sunday roast of Turkey/beef/pork was not as good as sounded. For £9 each this was not good value. The sticky toffee pud was satisfactory with lashings of custard! Overall it cost just short of £30 which I thought was expensive. Friendly pub but food needs to improve.

An absolutely lovely meal. Thank you Mike and Gina for making it so wonderfulYour ham egg and chips are out of this world (says my husband) and the burger I just had was better than a national retail company. Thank you xx

I haven't eaten here but having just moved to the village in thought I'd pop in, within 5 minutes the locals were chatting to me and Wednesday nights was open mic night with surprisingly talented musicians and singers having a go, had a great night and will be heading back. Friendly pub, good live music, dog friendly too.

The Griffin is a fantastic welcoming village pub. Great food and friendly service. The open log fires are lovely to sit next to and staff are friendly. We had a Sunday lunch and saw a fantastic Jazz Band on at the weekend. Great experience!

A wonderful evening spent with friends and family enjoying a fabulous meal cooked to order.Thanks to the chef for making my husband's birthday meal so special

Lovely village pub fine selection of drinks and fantastic food. Sunday lunch was spot on generous portions and well cooked. Friendly and helpful staff. Just what you want in a village pub.

Food really appalling, atmosphere not very pleasant (very cliquey), some extremely rude locals, kids running around completely out of control, whole place is filthy, and not just the loos, and it's all very dark and dated. The outside area is pretty much the car park / building site x tip. We didn't stay to finish. There are much nicer places in the area, so I'd avoid this one.

This is an excellent pub with a good atmosphere and has some great bands on. We have been to see JACK play there on many occasions. The set up is good, the beer is good and the staff are very friendly.

food was great the beef stog was out of this world we be back in september for one of the open mic nights on wedesdays

Popped in for a local friendly drink. Stayed for one and left. The place is filthy, especially behind the bar. The landlord (as I discovered listening into a conversation), was as unfriendly and as unwelcoming as I've ever met in a pub landlord. Just awful!

We were staying in the village and the Griffin was only few minutes walk away. Good food and very big helpings. Friendly and helpful staff and they are dog friendly...we didn't have one but there were a few about the place which I like. Try it out

I am a bit behind with this review. I visited whilst working in the village last summer. What a friendly place this is. Great beer and a bar full of happy customers at lunchtime a rarity these days. Enjoyed a simple lunch of ham egg and chips and was amazed at the quality and quantity of ham that was served. Too much really but better than being mean.Do visit - I am sure you will not be disappointed

Il pub è accogliente e dall'atmosfera calda. La cucina è molto buona e con porzioni abbondanti. Il personale tiene molto alla cura ed alla soddisfazione del cliente. Il paesino è molto piccolo ma grazioso, immerso nella campagna britannica.

A real country pub. The owners are very friendly, serving a great array of drinks and great food with generous portions. There is also a beer garden which I am sure is great in the summer.

My wife and I stayed for a couple of nights at Karma Farm camp site and on the first (and second) nights walked (around half an hour) to The Griffin, the young man (with the beard) behind the bar was cheerful and informative about the ales on offer and went out of his way to find out what was served with what and whether the Chili was hot or medium etc. The meals (Stroganoff for my wife and Chilli for me) were nicely cooked and of good portions, the locals were friendly and willing to engage, the second nights visit the chef was a bit late on parade more that made up for by a very decent steak and chips for us both, prices were very reasonable. A hard decision between four and five stars (maybe 4-5), well worth a visit, we shall definately go back. food good, beer good, local company could not be bettered. Thank you The Griffin

Took my friends for a meal here, nice atmosphere and tasty meal, plenty of choice and good that it is so local. Also plenty of draft beers and ciders, very enjoyable, thank you

The landlady at our B&B, Sunset View, recommended the pub to us, as she had her birthday party here. The recommendation was well founded and we had a lovely meal at a very reasonable price. The cuisine is sort of International, but it's really a good selection of gastro pub food. They hold all sorts of events at the pub too and the Saturday that we went they had a live band night. We didn't stay that long, but by all accounts it was a great night. Top tip: Go early evening if you want it a bit quieter, or go later and eat in the restaurant section if you still want quiet. They also do meals during the day. This is a lovely lively pub in the great British tradition.Address is: 11 Church St, Isleham, Ely, Cambridgeshire CB7 5RX - phone:01638 780447
