Orchard Tea Garden, Grantchester
Description
Serves teas, coffees and lunches throughout the year, come rain or shine, in a corner of England where time stands still as the outside world rushes by. The famous Orchard Tea Garden serves tea, coffees and light lunches and is available for weddings and parties. It is open nearly all the year around come rain or shine (see web site for opening times)
For nearly 120 years it has been rite of passage for every new undergraduate at Cambridge University to walk or cycle along the Grantchester Grind, or punt upstream exchanging the formal surroundings of the Backs, for the peace and tranquillity of the meandering River Cam to enjoy home-made scones soaked in cream and covered in jam (or vice versa) at the Orchard Tea Garden
The Orchard is renowned for the huge number of famous people who have enjoyed its genteel setting. Its luminaries including Rupert Brooke, Virginia Woolf, Bertrand Russel, Ludwig Wittgenstein, E.M. Forster, John Maynard Keynes, Alan Turing, Ernest Rutherford, and Watson and Crick to name but a few. By sitting under its trees, and sharing in the great English tradition of afternoon tea, one is following in the footsteps of generations of Cambridge students.
Deliberately, the Orchard Tea Garden remains of a bygone era; a corner of England where time stands still as the outside world rushes by.
