The Rupert Brooke

The Rupert Brooke offers a unique drinking and dining experience in an idyllic setting just outside Cambridge.

Led by Pasquale Benedetto, a familiar face in the Cambridge dining scene for over 30 years, the venue features a team known for great service, a buzzing atmosphere, good food, and high-quality drinks.

There has been a public house serving up drinks and food on the site since 1839, well before the days of the poet Rupert Brooke who the pub is now named after. It was originally opened as The Rose & Crown and the name only changed in the 1970’s.

The new name is a homage to one of Grantchester’s most famous residents. Rupert Brooke was a wartime poet known for his idyllic sonnets about home, whilst studying at Cambridge University, he spent time living and working in the village and ‘Grantchester’ is one of his most famous poems.
