Staying at the Premier Inn Cambridge North (Girton) on Huntingdon Road and wondering where to eat? The Old Crown is a historic thatched village pub on Girton High Street, about 1.7 miles from the hotel: around 5 minutes by car, according to Google Maps. We're a pub with a Nepalese kitchen, so you can have a proper sit-down dinner, a pint and the match, or a takeaway to eat back in your room.
The Old Crown is an independent pub and is not connected with Premier Inn.

What to eat
Our kitchen cooks Nepalese dishes, Indian favourites and British pub classics. If you've never tried Nepalese food, start with momo, then Chicken Rum Rum, Bhutuwa or Himali Lamb. If you've had a long day on the road and want something familiar, there's fish & chips, burgers and a choice of Indian curries. Vegetarians are well looked after: see vegetarian food near Cambridge.
