About This Pub
Ah, the Cambridge Brew House – what a gem for anyone who appreciates a good pint and a relaxed atmosphere. I've got to say, their on-site micro-brewery really shines through with a range of beers that's both creative and delicious, like that hazy pale ale or the rhubarb-infused saison that sounds right up my street. Pair that with some fresh, seasonal food options, and you've got yourself a proper treat; the scotch eggs get rave reviews, and it's clear folks are chuffed with the overall grub. The staff are an absolute delight too, always on hand with a smile and helpful advice, which makes the whole experience feel warm and personal. On the flip side, while it's generally a hit, some mates might find it just a tad ordinary when stacked up against the other pubs in Cambridge's bustling centre – it's competitive out there, after all. Plus, those varying opening times could catch you out if you're not checking ahead. All in all, though, it's a solid choice for kicking back with friends, whether you're watching the match or just enjoying the buzz, and I'd definitely recommend giving it a go for that authentic pub feel without any fuss.

It could get quite busy at peak times, so you might have to wait for a table or a spot outside.

Great location! We visited in October 2024 and Izzie was our server. She was very welcoming, kind and helpful with our order as we are both plant based. Would totally recommend this place for the food, service and drinks! The setting was awesome too :)
Nice Pub
I am doing a Cambridge pub marathon recently. Rating will be adjusted throughout the visits of different pubs.
Pubs of the Cambridge town centre were surprisingly competitive in price and quality. You know, the rent of the town centre must be the most expensive.
This pub too, the food tasted good. Maybe everything was relatively expensive than other pubs in town centre, but we found that it has more meat in the Sunday roast.
The burger meat was thicker than other pubs too, but it's on the leaner side. The burger was not hot enough. Despite the Sunday roast being just rump steak, it tasted like sirloin to me. Very high quality beef for sure.
The vegetables, potatoes and chips tasted good and cooked well. Beautiful presentation.
It's a pub for you if you are willing to afford a slightly higher price for pub grub.
