About This Pub
Ah, The Regal in Cambridge – it's one of those classic Wetherspoon spots that you can't help but appreciate for its no-nonsense approach to pub grub and pints. I mean, where else can you grab a hearty jacket potato or a full breakfast for next to nothing? The prices are an absolute steal, and with free refills on your cuppa, it's easy to settle in for a good chat with friends. Ordering's a doddle too, whether you're tapping away on the app or nipping to the bar, and they've got heaps of space so you won't be elbowing anyone out of the way. On the downside, it's not always the most serene experience; I've heard tales of the odd scuffle or some peculiar behaviour that can make things feel a bit chaotic. Still, if you're not expecting a fancy affair and just fancy a reliable, affordable spot for a casual get-together, it's well worth a visit – just keep an eye out for the busier evenings when it might get a tad rowdy.

Cons

Occasional reports of unruly behaviour or incidents, like security getting a bit heavy-handed, which can spoil the atmosphere.
-
The food's decent for the price, but it's not exactly gourmet – it's more about filling up than fine dining.

Such a great place for a quick bite! You order either at the bar or through your phone and the food is just great. I had the jacket potato and as a baked potato lover - it was perfect! Drinks are cheap and service is so fast. Everyone was always checking in to ensure I enjoyed myself as well.
Excellent food and drinks at a reasonable price and the staff is considerate. Lots of sitting space.
We went for breakfast and had variety of breakfasts with fre flowing tea/coffee.
Highly recommended.
Absolutely amazing place, breakfast menu is awesome and full of options and customizations. Ordering is done trough QR code where you are redirected to website and choose everything you would like.
Free refills on tea/coffe/hot chocolate are so good - awesome taste
Food, where to begin, it's awesome, every bite is heaven especially their bacon.
And the prices? For the amount of delicious food their super cheap.
Definitely recommend to visit here.
The food was good and, especially, cheap compared to other places in this city. However, it doesn't seem like a very civilised place.
I saw security taking a man out of the pub very aggressively with the help of other folks who pulled his hair, and people randomly getting undressed (?). There was gum in my chair which got my clothes dirty. Some of the staff were unnecessarily rude.
Budget Pub
Big menu. The prices are amazing, only £26 and we got 2 meals!
I know the food is not the best. But thinking of the prices, you will take everything easy.
I thought the portions would be very small because of the prices, but it's not. The portions were enough for everyone.
Everything tasted alright. Except the sirloin was a bit chewy. The steak sauce was cold.
The service was efficient. It was busy but the food delivered quickly. No service charges as you need to order at the bar.
While other luxury restaurants, cafes and bakeries. They charged so much that your expectations are going to be much higher. Much harder to get the best ratings.
The pub was much bigger than I expected. But the tables and seats were clean. There are plenty of toilets and each unit is big.
Not everyone can afford eating in luxury restaurants/cafe, at least the majority can afford to eat in the Regal. As it's almost 2 times cheaper than other restaurants.
