Located on Riverside beside the Museum of Technology which owns it. The garden was formerly used by Thirsty for Biergarten and by Othersyde. The garden contain a bar unit and a food unit as well as a marquee. The gardens also offer beautiful westward views across the River Cam. The downstairs rooms in the house are indoor seating areas.

In October 2022 running it was taken on by Cambridge brewery, Calverley's. It now offers their unfiltered and unpasteurized keg beers. Pizzas made on site in a wood-fired oven by Al Forno.
