Far from the hubbub of the main roads, nestled amidst thatched cottages in the pretty village of Chrishall, just South of Cambridge between Saffron Walden and Royston, sits The Red Cow - a picture-perfect thatched pub, ideal for your escape to the country. The Red Cow is owned & managed by Toby Didier'Serre & his partner Alexis Beeching. As a lover of fresh produce and rural sporting activities, Toby relishes his role as The Red Cow’s convivial host and ensures our guests are made to feel as welcome as possible. The recent addition of five beautifully appointed and luxurious guest rooms in the old thatched barn and post office adjacent to the pub complete the offering of great food, wine, atmosphere and rooms. But don't take our word for it. Take a look at the pictures and book a table or a room.

Royston Cave is an enigma. No records of its age or purpose exist. Some theories suggest it was used by the Knights Templar, others by King James I and the Freemasons. Discovered by accident in 1742, Royston Cave has continued to baffle visitors for centuries. Man-made and beehive shaped; the cave is cut 25ft into the chalk that underlies Royston’s ancient crossroad, Ermine Street and Icknield Way. The cave contains an extensive range of wall carvings representing the Crucifixion, the Holy Family and several saints including St Katherine and St Christopher. Elsewhere are figures of a horse and an Earth Goddess, believed to be Pagan symbols for fertility.
