Closed this week (September 08) by bailiffs. Unlikely to re-open. Apparently, it was heavily in debt.

Looked like it has been converted from a 1960s style multi-story car park from the outside. Went in to five five hand-pumps with a range of beer - unfortunately (as Love Real Ale states) none of them were available! Looked to be food orientated.
|
Oh dear 5 hand pumps and all the clips turned round. Bad management on a Friday afternoon to have no beer available. Surely you should be geared up for the weekend at this point. The pub looked more like a restaurant from the outside.

The PUB QUIZ at the Bun Shop is BRILLIANT - every Wed evening - started 8.30pm. £1 per player I think it was, we had 4 in our team. Max of 5 per team. Nice bottle of wine as a prize when we played - yeah, we won! (there weren't many other teams that night, though they had just got started!) I think you get a pitcher of beer if you're second. It's upstairs, which is nice, and the host was gorgeous! lol Not sure if that was intended as an incentive!

Not much to look at from the outside; and with its name, it takes a second glance to work out what's inside. In fact there are several things within - bistro, tapas bar, live music/function room and a 'pub style' bar (which is actually rather better than it sounds).
|
Celebrated our 10th wedding anniversary in one of the rooms upstairs with friends.
Food was plentiful and very tasty. The staff could not have been more helpful and generous. And the tapas / wine deal is exceptional value for money.
Recommend this to anyone organising a party for 20-30 people.

They serve Tappas there. My advice: Do NOT eat them –awful! So summary: awful food, bad service.
|
First ever visit this week - always walked past it on the way to Radegund/Champion as it looks awful from outside & beer range is DULL. Inside is actually quite well done, & Bombardier decent.
|
The selection of beers is decidedly average compared to other cambridge haunts, but the food is great. Expensive though. All in all a nice pub but watch the wallet
|
The pub bit is reasonable; in fact that sums up most things about this place. Not brilliant, not bad at all. Friendly staff.
|
To anyone brought up in Cambridge this is a travesty. The origional Bun Shop was legendary but demolished in the 70's to make way for the ugly Lion Yard shopping centre.
Atmosphere free.

Have a burger with the cheese and green pepper secret sauce. It's lovely.
