This pub has always claimed to have the highest prices in Cambridge. However, the recent re-fit has tried to position it to an upmarket gastropub. Less a pub for a pint than it has been for quite a while.

Just re opened after a landlord change. Previous good selection of real ales has gone. Replaced by GK IPA & Abbot! What a shame

Great location, but let down by high prices!
|
It is weird how this pub has been so disappointing over the last 2 decades when the location is just so great.
|
The beer range must have been expanded since the last comment - they had five ales on offer plus a real cider yesterday. I ate here and felt that the food was ok but overpriced for what it was, but that applies to quite a few places in Cambridge. The building has loads of character, and the views of river on one side and meadow on the other are excellent. Definitely worth coming here for a few drinks.

The building is great and the location is hard to beat - so it's frustrating that the FsG always lets you down. Beer has been mediocre the last two times I've visited, the yard is unattractive, and the clientele a bit ropey
This pub could be so good, a perfect riverside watering hole, but misses the mark - see the Green Dragon for how it should be done

Good beer, reasonable food, mostly dodgy people. Make sure you sit outside overlooking the river. You can watch boaties do their stuff if that's your kind of thing.

A good pub in the winter. The beer's not bad despite having Greene King's usual limited selection. Old building, done up sympathetically. Food average.
In summer... avoid. Music booming from outside speakers over the lovely Midsummer Common. Outside tables often packed with pissed-up louts. Very popular when there are fairs and the like on the common.

Nice pub. Food offers are original - some like game pie which I personally wouldn't eat but my boyfriend was dribbling. Food didn't arrive particularly edible looking but was average. More of a drinking pub. Overlooks the river, has a good view, nice layout and atmosphere and a good range of beers. VERY popular in the summer and has cows outside - what more could you ask?
