R/T for Instrument Approach Outside Controlled Airspace

I'm going to be flying to Cambridge in a couple of weeks. If the weather is poor, then I'd be ambling for an ILS or another instrument approach. Having never carried out an instrument approach in class G, there are a couple of things which become apparent, such as traffic with no legal obligation to stay out of your way.

Obviously if it's VMC, there will be plenty of traffic about, but then it seems silly not to just join visually.

The thing that I'd like to ask about is the R/T which I should expect on arriving at Cambridge, in such an event which demands an instrument approach. As I understand it, I will call Cambridge APP before arriving and ask for an ILS/VOR/NDB e.t.c, but is the response likely to be a clearance (in class G..?) or just information for the approach/runway?

Thanks in advance.
