The highest pub in Cambridgeshire may not be as grandiose a claim as for other counties but it still makes it a decent (and worthwhile) hike up to the Pheasant. The pub dates from 1634 and has a number of original features without succumbing to the "more olde than you" that some places aspire to. Dark exposed beams and white walls give its interior a classic rural pub feel. Its attractive split level rear patio is a stepping stone to a large garden. Sunday hours on public holidays.

Seasonal menus with locally sourced ingredients. Pie Night Wednesdays. Fishy Fridays. Saturday breakfasts, 10.30-11.30.

Since 2021 it has been run by the same people as at the Woodman Inn in nearby Nuthampstead.

The Pheasant sponsors the Great Chishill Cycling Club.

Historic Interest

Great Chishill's high point is 146 metres above sea level. The pub is slightly lower.

Asset of Community Value

Community Supported

The pub was purchased in 2021 by the people who own the Woodman Inn in nearby Nuthampstead (N Herts). A significant amount of work was carried out both inside and out to improve it. It reopened in April 2021. The couple who run the Woodman now run both it and the Pheasant. The community group who were looking to purchase the Pheasant when it was closed are happy that it has reopened and are no longer looking to buy it.
