About

The welcoming ambience blends traditional pub fare with a modern twist – from hearty stews and fresh fish to vegetarian, vegan and gluten‑free options – all cooked to order in a friendly kitchen that opens from noon until 8 pm on weekdays and until 6 pm on Sunday. Regular live music, ranging from soul and funk to indie rock, adds a lively soundtrack to any visit, while the free‑house beer selection ensures a drink for every palate. The venue boasts a spacious bar, a sun‑lit conservatory, a cosy 65‑seat dining room overlooking the River Cam, and generously sized gardens where guests can enjoy drinks on a warm summer evening. Whether you are stopping by for a quick pint, a full meal with friends and family, or a romantic riverside food‑and‑drink experience, Five Miles offers a relaxed, family‑friendly setting with modern amenities such as free Wi‑Fi and parking. The pub’s friendly staff curate an ever‑changing menu that showcases local produce and seasonal specials, ensuring that a return visit always feels new. An emphasis on quality, inclusivity and community means that all guests, whether they drive down or arrive by boat, are welcomed with a smile. A neighboring marina and proximity to the Wicken Fen Nature Reserve make it a convenient stop for travelers exploring the picturesque Fens. Every Tuesday the bar closes to give staff a much‑needed break, preserving the pub’s upbeat vibe on the rest of the week. Celebrations and private parties can be booked by phone or email to discuss catering, with a £10 deposit per person and the requirement that pre‑orders be placed ten days ahead of the event.
