A day exploring various pubs and taprooms in Peterborough, each with unique atmospheres and histories. Starting at The Shed, which features vintage railway memorabilia, the journey continues to The Wonky Donkey, known for its community feel, and The Yard of Ale, showcasing a rich backstory. Other spots like Palmerston Arms and Charters Bar offer historical charm and details, while others, like Bottle and Board and Tap & Tandoor, highlight modern concepts like craft beers and Indian cuisine fusion. Each venue boasts friendly welcomes, diverse drink selections, and a commitment to local culture, making the exploration a delightful experience. www.micropubadventures.co.uk

I started my day in King’s Lynn, calling into a great mix of places, from the historic Lattice House with its old beams and cosy corners, to the riverside Crown & Mitre and Marriott’s Warehouse. WhataHoot added something different with its small distillery feel, while Ferry Lane Social Club and The Live & Let Live felt friendly and familiar. I also stopped at Bank House and Wenns before heading to Ely, where 3At3 and the Drayman’s Son brought a more modern touch, and the Cutter Inn rounded things off by the river. It was a really enjoyable day with great drinks, warm welcomes, and plenty to take in. https://micropubadventures.co.uk/2026/04/02/02-04-26-kings-lynn-and-ely/

Like many cities and towns, Peterborough has changed a lot over the years. Decades ago, a wonderful pub crawl called The Crown To Town existed - it's route contested, but nevertheless, enjoyed by many. We've researched the route and looked at what is still around and hopefully put together the best for you to enjoy.
