Portion varies across the mains. The sausage is a particularly large dish especially considering the price. Burger and pie are on the smaller side. (For me the little pie is enough to get a taste without feeling too guilty…)
The pie is crispy outside. Though quite dry inside, the chunks of steak is decent. On the other hand, the gravy is one of the best I’ve had. I usually dislike this greasy brown liquid, but this one is actually not too oily and has a thicker stickiness and tastes good with the pie, the cabbage (yes a lot of cooked veggie instead salad leaves :), and the chips. Chips aren’t the crunchiest but they are not soggy like many other pubs and restaurants nor soaked in oil… almost finished them during conversation.
Service is friendly but food is a little slow.

Large and fairly comfy brew pub & grill in the centre of Cambridge. The independent brewery offers a fair selection of its ales on tap, but my choice ("Misty River" pale ale) wasn't quite so good. I didn't have time for picking another one, alas. But it's a good-looking brewpub that will appeal to families, as there's also an attractive and moderately priced menu.
Very friendly staff and would highly recommend it for the beer drinker.
The food looked lovely as well although we didn't stop long enough to try it out but, will do so on our next visit.
So if you want a bar where you can't find a seat and that serves just the bog standard beers you can get anywhere else in the country then unfortunately this isn't the bar for you.
BUT if you want a quiter vibe with comfy window seats or high bar stools and tables, a large selection of craft beers and largers, an option for restaurant eating too, plus sports TV then this is the local for you.
Loved our visit to this place, even if it is a little HIDDEN gem.
Dinner with friends. The drinks were very good, mains were very nice! Only reason for not giving 5 stars is we ordered 2 sets of wings for a starter and they were severely lacking in sauce, bottom ones had none, top had very little
Excellent value for money. This pub brews its own beer and offers some great hot meals to boot. The beef roast dinner was very solid, whereas the sausage and mash was a definite reason to come back. Stellar mashed potato
Very airy brew pub hidden a couple of minutes walk from the main drag. Pint of their bitter at 3.8%. Very good. Bi fold doors opened up to let fresh air in. Table football as well...was good at this 40 years ago. Very relaxing listening to the music. Casta and Jorvic like it.
This place is just amazing. I was here for so many times and I enjoyed it any of them. The beer is amazing and the food it's delicious.
I'd love to know about how to meet the brewer and perhaps learn more about the beer making process. So perhaps that's the next step in knowing this place.
Great place with wonderful atmosphere. Not quite a local neighborhood pub, but definitely not a huge alienating joint either. Local beer is excellent, and I really liked the food, as someone not very familiar with British cuisine. Service was very attentive. Might get crowded so you should order a place in advance.
Always a good experience here.
Food is good, service is good and atmosphere to watch sports is great!
Enjoyed an event in the private function room. Food was excellent. Real Ale for real men and a real hangover next day. Great mix of people. Well done .
A good place to watch the RWC. Just go to the upstairs area where they have a large screen
Had a nice meal out here, staff were very patient, friendly and helpful (we were a big group).
I would say the portion sizes need a little rethinking. Most were fine but my normally healthy appetited friend ordered fish and chips and struggled to get even close to finishing it!
Nice pub with friendly and helpful staff.
The house brewed porter was delicious.
Food was well cooked, just a lot disappointed in the kimchi burger but everything else was great.
