Old pub just outside th main tourist area. Fair selection of Adnams Ales in good condition. Worth the walk from the town centre.

This once characterful Cambridge centre pub is now, in essence, a bar-cum-club, with drinks and décor to match. Having said that, the London Tube map that has the station names replaced by band names painted onto the wall as you walk upstairs to the toilets (a la Simon Patterson's 'The Great Bear') is a nice touch.

Booze Allan is writing about the excellent Castle located north of centre, near the castle mound; this is a mediocre GK pub in the central street.

Friendly pub not sure how Gastro it was but as drinkers we were welcome. About 8 Adams ales on tap - possible 1 or 2 guests but otherwise a record for the amount of Adnams beers on tap - there was even a Wheat beer from them. I tried a pint of the Ghost Ship & it was well kept.

My camra book of pub crawls is out of date. This has had a major makeover and is now a restaurant rather than the classic pub of yesteryear. One ale on and that was green king IPA.

Popped in for one on the way into town. Vinegary pint of ale underpoured by disinterested young barman. They now serve icecreams from the front of the building when the weather is nice. That's not a pub! More one for the young bar-goers than the pub-lovers.

Been here many times and always found the service ok. It was again this weekend. The range of beers also includes some guest ales as well. The food is also pretty good.

An Adnams pub serving a full range of Adnams ales but the staff mostly students wish they were somewher else which is a shame and are concerned with discussing their active social life outside the pub.
Beers are great and food too but the staff are a letdown.There is a garden outside in the Summer its quite packed.

Beautiful interior, with amazing artworks and photography. Frendly Staff and good food and drink. Great place to go to for a drink or two. Frendly and helpful owner who likes to oversee the workings of his bar are up to good standards.

Staff not up to much.
Tried to be a bit fancy with the food and full of counil employees from up the road

Nice pub, sympathetically done up, with a good range of well kept ales on tap, and an interesting selection of food. Non-existent ringing of the time bell to signal the mid-afternoon closing of the pub caused the bar staff to become rather impatient when we understandably didn't leave immediately. Bar staff generally gave the impression that they wanted to be somewhere else � which is coincidentally where I will be next time I fancy a pint.
