| 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. Rod_Hariga - 1 Jul 2008 20:34 |
| 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. Quinno - 31 May 2008 12:50 |
| So many tourists in one little pub. Small courtyard with tables and no chance of a seat let alone a drink from the bar. CambridgeBlue - 12 May 2008 12:01 |
| 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. hogshead - 3 Mar 2008 11:15 |
