Excellent little pub in Cambridge, just outside the city center with a great stout selection ... nice bartender that works afternoon named Dusty.
Outside patio for uses if it's not raining !!! Lol
The Castle is a good Cambridge pub with an excellent selection of beers, reasonable food and friendly service. The beers on tap are from Adnams, the Southwold brewery. They have tables in the rear garden which makes for a good setting when the weather obliges. For those of us that like beer, drinking a pint of Southwold bitter in the garden on a warm summers day is a perfect pastime.
On recommendation of a friend who used to study at Cambridge and lived nearby, my husband and I were excited for a different selection of beers on tap (rather than the usual Greene King). We tried some darker Adnam's porter on tap and were very happy for something a bit more rich than the usual pub ale.
We were surprised to see a ton of food available on chalkboard menus, all made in house. This was just an afternoon snack for us, so we split a Bacon, Brie and Mushroom Bap, but it was amazing with a seemingly freshly baked wheat bun, fresh crisp lettuce, melty cheese, hearty mushroom and crispy bacon - a large portion and super cheap for under four pounds.
The size of the pub is much larger than the other cozy ones we've visited like the Elm Tree and Free Press, with different rooms and multiple stalls for restrooms, but still achieved a feeling of coziness within each room.
Would return if we had more time on our trip!
