THE PONTACANNA INN

pub, Restaurant, beer garden & boutique hotel

A modern-day meeting place & contemporary Inn, we're open all day & just a short stroll across the beautiful Midsummer Common from central Cambridge.
We like to think we have it all covered… craft beer, an eclectic range of wines and spirits, fresh, flavour driven food & even a bed for the night, should the stumble home feel too adventurous! Not only that, you can sample our wares in the sun-kissed courtyard, the ‘Potting Shed’ or next door at No. 30.
