The quality of the food was good though it did take a while from ordering. But we were a group of 9 and as we were having a bit of a reunion with people we had not seen for many years it didn't matter. There was another large group in at the same time.

Just a really nice place to eat and drink. Friendly, good service, good food, a “local” atmosphere (but I don’t know if everyone was a local)

Nice venue but can’t understand why I had to book a table. When we arrived there it was no reserved table for us (outdoor) and the waiter said that in our table someone else was sitting. We found a table 15 min later when someone left. Service was ok for the amount of staff and how busy was it. Food was delicious but not enough menu options. It was only one short menu available and the waiter said that it was because of a festival?! Not sure if I will go back. I would prefer to be informed in advance about the limited food menu.

We have eaten at this venue often, but this evening was very odd . Although, we were inside out drinks were served in plastic cups and our food served on paper plates and wooden knives and folks with no explanation given - I would expect this from a catering van at Glastonbury but not a decent pub in Cambridge . Very disappointed with this change in direction - we will not be eating here again !!!

Weekly visit to this pub as good as ever. Very surprised that the prawn cocktail doesn't come with any bread.
