€€€€ • Gastro Pub • Whittlesford
Nestled in the peaceful village of Little Shelford, just 15 minutes south of Cambridge, stands a historic coaching inn established in 1621. With a tale as rich as its hearty gravy and as bold as its finest craft ales, The Side Quest appears as a quintessential countryside pub from the outside—complete with weathered timber beams and the warm glow of crackling fireplaces. But step inside, and you'll discover a realm brimming with laughter, mystery, merriment, adventure, and unforgettable entertainment. This charming inn was lovingly restored by a local entrepreneur who builds virtual worlds for a living. Thrilled to embark on his own real-life side quest, he transformed the building into a welcoming, upscale haven for locals and travelers alike—a place to gather, savor exceptional food and drinks, and forge new connections.
