About This Pub

Ah, Pint Shop – it's one of those places that really pulls you in with its rich history of craft beer and that cosy, modern pub feel in Cambridge. I have to say, the beer selection is a absolute highlight; it's like they've bottled up the essence of those old beer houses, with all sorts of hoppy wonders and sours that make for a brilliant session. The staff are gems too – so approachable and eager to please, like when they tweak your order just right, which adds a lovely personal touch. And don't get me started on some of the food; that scotch egg is a proper delight, full of herby goodness and just the right chew. But, on the flip side, it's not all smooth sailing – I've heard a fair few grumbles about the portions being a tad skimpy for what you're paying, and things like the Sunday roast can be hit or miss, with some finding it too salty or even a bit burnt. Waits for food can stretch out as well, which might put a dampener on your evening if you're peckish. All in all, it's a solid spot for a catch-up over drinks, but you'd want to keep expectations in check for the grub to avoid any letdowns – still, with its buzzing vibe, it's worth popping in for the good bits!

Pros and Cons

Pros
  • The beer selection is absolutely spot on, with a great range of craft brews that really capture the spirit of a traditional beer house – perfect for a relaxed pint with mates.
  • Staff are incredibly friendly and attentive; they've got that warm, welcoming vibe that makes you feel right at home, and they're happy to go the extra mile, like adjusting meals to suit your preferences.
  • Some dishes are real winners, like the scotch egg and halloumi fries, which folks rave about – they're packed with flavour and make for a tasty treat in this modern setting.
Cons
  • Portions can be on the small side, especially for the prices, which might leave you feeling a bit short-changed after a meal.
  • Food quality varies; some reviews mention overly salty or greasy dishes, like the Sunday roast, which didn't quite hit the mark for everyone.
  • Wait times for food can drag on, which is a shame when you're settling in for a good chat and a drink.

The Sunday Roast I had was smaller than expected. It was a bit on the salty side, and I didn’t particularly enjoy the sauce. Others at the table had the halloumi fries and said they tasted quite good. Our waiter was very friendly, but we had to wait quite a while for our food, especially the desserts, which we ordered after the mains. The toilet is located on the top floor, which could be an accessibility issue for some visitors.

Worst Sunday Roast Ever!!!!! Worst Sunday roast I've ever had. I don't normally put reviews, but honesty, this place doesn't deserve one start. My boyfriend and I ordered the Sunday roast (pork belly and beef). Both our plates were drowned in a greasy, overly salted gravy. Burnt potatoes and overcooked pork belly. The service was not better than the food. Having the waitress leaving the card reader machine to insert our cards on the table and telling us to do it ourselves. I have never seen this before!! I'm not sure whether we look to touristy for the place or if the service is always like this. I have ended up with food poison in the station on our way back to London. I'm glad there were open public toilets opened Make yourself a favour and avoid this place.

Decent scotch egg. Sunday roast’s meat is alright but everything else on the plate is nice. The famous scotch egg did not disappoint— one of the best I’ve had. Mixed to a more chewy texture but not tough. Prominent sage and other herbs’ flavor. Slightly fatty so half per person is perfect :3 The sweet-tart apple sauce is very refreshing and delightful, though I sometimes forgot to dip in it because of the nicely seasoned egg itself. Roast beef seems overcooked. Only a hint of pinkness. Slightly tough but still tolerable. The beef flavor is good. Yorkshire pudding is fluffy and not greasy at all, though I hope it can be a little more eggy. Veggies are nice— especially the parsnip is cooked to perfect. The gravy is subtle and not overpowering. Fried calamari and prawn is not too heavy and the chili mayo is also lovely even fr a non-mayo person. I don’t drink but really appreciate the beer board with all the information :> The staff is friendly and the place is more spacious than I imagined. I really appreciate the young lady for adjusting our bill to the Sunday 2-course.

Fantastic city center pub! The chef was incredibly kind and went out of their way to adjust my meal to suit my preferences, which is rare these days. The food was delicious, and the beer selection was excellent. Our server, a lovely New Zealander, was amazing—so attentive, with a fun and vibrant energy that made our experience even better. She was incredibly helpful, and honestly, she deserves a raise! I highly recommend The Pint Shop—definitely worth a visit!"

Modern Pub Working hard to write reviews for the Cambridge pubs therefore entered this restaurant. The restaurant is much bigger than I expected. The modern style attracts a lot of young customers. The portion sizes are quite small in terms of the prices. It's not the cheapest pub in the town centre. The food had slightly higher quality than Bath House, Eagle and Baron of Beef. But more expensive than them. But it looks very modern and clean, with big toilets. The service was good. As a reminder, this pub didn't provide chicken Sunday Roast on the day I visited. I suggest you check the menu in case you really want to have chicken Sunday Roast.
