Historic old pub owned by Corpus Christi since 1525. The ceiling of the RAF Bar has the names and squadron numbers of RAF & USAF in WW2. Unfortunately it is under Greene Kings beer control. Four hand pumps; IPA, Abbott, O/S/H and thank goodness a genuine guest. It has a notice up offering a historic guided tour although I don't think they would appreciate requests at busy times.

Very old pub with a lot of history and an interesting story (including the RAF bar at the back) - I would imagine that it would attract the tourists. Reverand James was the only alternative to GK here though.

Certainly one of the better places to get a beer in Cambridge. Plenty of history, and a nice feel to the place inside.

Couple of drawbacks:

1) Greedy King beer. So bland, so lifeless, so ubiquitous in Cambridge.

2) Not much room a lot of the time. But that's just the way it is - a victim of its own success.

Although it's very close to the corn exchange, so good for pre-gig pint (assuming you can get to the bar).

Worth a visit for the history value.

So many tourists in one little pub. Small courtyard with tables and no chance of a seat let alone a drink from the bar.

Its a Greene King pub full of tourists in the middle of Cambridge worth stopping for a pint sitting in the courtyard but no big deal.Still its much better than the pub next door now that is bad.
