Blimey. A new Guide entry on the same page of the map as Waterbeach. That’s the first in a while.
I was convinced I’d been to the Three Tuns in Fen Drayton before, and I know I have,
but in 2018 when I visited the RSPB site it was closed and it’s not on my GBG spreadsheet and the spreadsheet takes precedence over my memory these days.
I knew Fen Drayton’s thatched village pub was a bit upmarket,
but the extent of it (admittedly on a Sunday lunchtime) was quite something.
Adnams on keg is always a sign of smart diner, the cask pumps an odd bunch.
Believe it or not, this little bench in front of the fire was the only seat left;
Even more unlikely, the often disappointing Wherry was superb, a rich and viscous 3.5.
Whoever owns the Three Tuns have gone for the nostalgia look; that photo of the Fen Drayton team from 1960 brought back memories for my Dad when I showed him later. Memories from an age when the goalie was the shortest bloke on the pitch and wore a cloth cap. How football has changed.

I agree with Dave. I love many of the pubs you have been visiting recently.

Brings back memories, more for fabulous chips than any recollection of beer though. But I am talking 30 odd years ago.

Definitely always a foody pub, Andy, more so than the one in the next village (Swavesey) that made the Beer Guide.
I’m impressed local branch identified the good quality of their beer.

I remember a work colleague regularly drinking 4 pints at lunchtime in Swavesey at the White Horse. Yes, much more of a boozer.

Wow -I would be on the seat by the fire like a shot (although this can end up being too hot as we discovered in Greenwich yesterday _we had to keep moving round the table so no one got over heated )
