We love this pub totally...it’s been one of my fellas haunts for years. However...went for a Sunday roast, firstly they didn’t do vegggie gravy for veggie roast, it’s not hard to have bisto red on the shelf! However chef was kind and said he would do something. Looked ok, vegetables (only kale and courgette) came out cold, I had no Yorkie and around an egg cupful of watery veg stock as gravy. The veg wellington was divine but the meal was so dry that my friends dog finished it off. Sorry...I don’t like moaning but it wasn’t very good...we even had to almost run after the waitress after she had put the plates down just to request sauces and salt and pepper! I adore this quaint little back syreet gem of a pub, they keep good barrels, lovely fire, just the food and service somewhat eek 😳!!
I normally visit the Kingston Arms once a fortnight, sometimes once a week. For me, it has an excellent range of very well kept ales - some of which change around and others stay as customer favourites. I'm a brewer so I'm quite critical!
Of all the pubs in Cambridge, I eat hear the most - all the food is excellent & I've never had a bad meal yet. The burgers are simply amazing and the hand cut chips served with them are irresistible.
And if the food and drink aren't enough, the atmosphere is great. It's a very cosmopolitan pub with people of all nationalities there all getting along just fine with the locals.
So in a nutshell, if you want a great pub with atmosphere, good food and drink - you'd be hard pushed to find anywhere better!
Well done guys & gals!
Oh & one last thing - the Xmas lunch last year was the best I've ever had in a pub - but the quality of the food and the price - amazing & I'm back again this year!
My nephew introduced me to this delightful and friendly pub with a great atmosphere. Had a couple of very flavoursome pints of stout with a vegi burger. Off the beaten track and would highly recommend.
