A consistently classic pub; cosy, excellent beer, and cheap filling food. The only downside is £3.50 a pint, and also the fact that Adnams is notr the beer it was, which isn't the Castle's fault.

Very enjoyable trip to The Castle Inn, which was just down the road from the B&B we stayed in. The fine food (rabbit pie for me, chilli for my partner) was supplemented by delicious pints of Harvest Moon from the Grain brewery and a very acceptable pint of Adnams seasonal beer, Ghost Ship, which was fruity and moreish. Convivial and friendly atmosphere. Somewhere I'd happily visit again if back in Cambridge.

Not open all day, which is a shame because I could easily spend a very very long lunch here. Eight or so changing ales and food is served. Food is good but pricey. Almost a fiver for a lamb burger which was small and came with nothing else. And believe it or not, the landlord was Barry Wom (the drummer) from The Rutles.

Visited Friday 7th November - good beer selection from Adnams (Abbey, Explorer, Bitter, Broadside and Old Ale), Tim Taylors Landlord, Nethergate Umbel Magna & Suffolk County plus Mad Goose from Purity Brewing Co. The TT Landlord was acceptable but not great. The other Umbel Magna was good and the bitter well kept. This is a good pub, decent surroundings, a large student crowd and a good atmosphere but something about it feels a bit soulless. Just go for the beers then.

Very good beer, and a good selection of wine for the missus. The atmosphere is pleasant enough but like a lot of places in Cambridge it can get very busy and when this happens it can be unbearably loud.

On the downside, the staff are never exactly friendly when I've been in, seemingly more happy to chat with one another than serve the customer, and they never say thankyou or anything. It's also very expensive at over £3 a pint for Landlord.
