About The Rupert Brooke

The Rupert Brooke is a Tagvenue Partner. This business has registered with Tagvenue and agreed to our venue partner standards.

The Rupert Brooke in Grantchester offers a unique drinking and dining experience in a setting just outside Cambridge, being the latest adventure of Pasquale Benedetto, who has been part of the Cambridge dining scene since joining his father at Don Pasquale on Market Square over 30 years ago.

Named after the poet Rupert Brooke, the pub was originally opened as The Rose & Crown, and the name only changed back in the 1970s, with it now being a homage to one of Grantchester’s most famous residents, who 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.
