About This Pub
Ah, the Rock in Cambridge – it's one of those cosy spots that really pulls you in for a relaxed evening. I love how the staff go out of their way to make you feel at home, with their cheeky jokes and spot-on recommendations; it's like chatting with a mate behind the bar. The deals on food and drinks are an absolute winner, especially if you're looking to stretch your pounds further without skimping on fun. Plus, it's got that spacious feel with telly screens everywhere, making it ideal for catching the big match or just gathering with a group. On the downside, the grub can sometimes fall short – a few folks have mentioned meals not quite living up to expectations, which is a shame when you're tucking in. Overall, though, it's a solid choice for a laid-back night out; just keep your expectations realistic for the food, and you'll have a cracking time.

We popped in for a quick meal before driving up north. The pub was relatively empty and the staff were funny and engaging.
We were served by a gentleman in bandana (sorry didnt ask your name) who made plenty of jokes and recommendations. Nice chat, pal!
We enjoyed our time and food and surely will be back when we are in the area again!
Good spacious pub with good selection of drinks and the best deal I think was 2 mains for £14.99, the pints were in reasonable price and if you looking to spicy up your night with shots you get 3 shots of spirits for £6. They also have vegan and vegetarian options. They have outside seating area too and easy access to the toilets.
The pub is nice and big inside and has plenty of room for big groups. There's TVs all over the place so you can watch a game if that's your thing. The food wasn't great, my burger was burnt and not what I ordered but I was too hungry to wait for another one. Other people in our group also had issues with their food. Having said that the people serving us were nice and helpful. I'd likely visit again but not for food.
This place is beyond amazing.

A special shout-out to Emma, who always goes above and beyond to make sure we’re well taken care of. She’s friendly, attentive, and makes us feel right at home every time we walk through the door. It's employees like her that keep us coming back!
