The Admiral Wells

About

The Admiral Wells, in the charming village of Holme halfway between Peterborough and Huntingdon, is a historic low‑point pub that has catered to locals and travelers since the 18th century. This independent, family‑run free house combines classic pub warmth with modern comforts – a cosy bar with a crackling log fire, a light and airy conservatory restaurant overlooking generous gardens, and a spacious beer garden that welcomes families and dogs alike. After extensive refurbishment, the pub retains its original character while offering a range of freshly prepared dishes: hearty roast dinners, daily specials, and a full menu that features vegan, vegetarian and gluten‑free options. The beer selection is equally impressive, with five real ales on tap, guest lagers, and a recognised place in the Good Beer Guide. Beyond dining, the venue can host events in its large garden room (ideal for parties of 17–40 guests) and offers a garden room for up to 16 people for more informal gatherings. Whether you’re a commuter looking for a quick bite, a nature lover drawn to its proximity to Holme Fen Reserve and the world‑famous Holme Fen Posts, or a family seeking a relaxed evening out, The Admiral Wells delivers a welcoming, authentic pub experience steeped in local heritage.
