| A rather anonymous pub, overshadowed by the Castle. Visited during their recent small beer fest which seemed to be struggling. Having said that, the beer quality, Everards or otherwise, was exceptional, and I'd go back. mtaylor40 - 19 Nov 2010 22:57 |
| This pub has just been refurbished and is now a very pleasant place to spend a few hours. The Everards beers are excellent, as well as a guest ale. I was surprised as they had the Original, Tiger, Beacon, Forty Bob and Flourish as well as the guest ale, which is an amazing number of real ales to have on tap all at the same time. Even more amazing was how good the Original, Tiger and Flourish were, they have obviously been trying to make a good first impression since the refurbishment. I wonder whether the bar staff will keep the pipes clean and maintain this high standard for long. As for the rest of the pub, it's clean with some high tables, a couple of big Chesterfield sofas, and various arrangement of seating so you should be able to find what you're looking for. The smart traditional decor should hopefully attract a decent bunch of customers - I noticed there was a good mix of Students as well as more mature customers, which gave the pub a good atmosphere somewhere between lively/friendly and calm and well ordered. I didn't try the food but they've got a good selection of bar snacks! All in all, a good pub and refreshing to see that Everards have kept it traditional yet brought it up to date.

| I wonder how often the joanna in the corner gets played. philanders - 11 Oct 2008 15:26 |
| This is a pub I will never visit again. A friend and I were sitting there quietly, when (simultaneously) pints of beer were poured over our heads by a group of a dozen "yoofs" (possibly young soldiers out of uniform). As we tried to leave they beat us up outside and left us bleeding in the street, me with a broken nose and two black eyes, he with broken specs and two black eyes. And lots of kicks. Why? We don't know. "Gay-basing"? Neither of our wives believe it. "Graddy-bashing"? Possibly. The landlord saw nothing, at least when asked by the police. I didn't think it was that bad until then. However, Cambridge has always had its share of mindless violence in pubs. HenPen - 10 Aug 2008 12:41 |
| Pleasant pub with food and a full range of well kept Everards beers plus a guest (Jennings on my visit). Liked this pub a lot. Rod_Hariga - 1 Jul 2008 21:08 |
