An iconic Cambridge pub in a prime location, always packed. Which means the folks who run it can rest on their laurels. I'd like to have had the option of something besides Green King IPA on a busy evening last Tuesday.

Ok pub. Could be great.

A 'must' to take visitors to Cambridge to, with its RAF bar, double helix connections and picturesque coaching inn gallery. A lot of locals do seem to use it at lunchtime, in spite of rather high prices and slow service. For plain good-value beer and food at lunchtime I prefer the place next door in Bene't Street.

Visited this pub over xmas whilst down in Cambridge. Loads of history, definitely worth a second visit. Found staff to be friendly and helpful. Good food menu and prompt service. Ten out of Ten.

This pub, with it's "we're really important, so we sometimes have a fat man outside deciding whether we're full or not" attitude, needs to sort itself out.
It has long been a popular place to go for people of all ages, but at busy periods, they still serve all the pretty girls with the revealing tops before anyone else.
I am only ever in here because people I know are, never through choice.

One tip at busy times- as soon as you get your beer, start queuing for another one.
Poorly managed, profit-driven place. Beer adequate.

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.
