| Typical GK outlet, inoffensive but of little merit. morrisonale - 26 Aug 2011 15:58 |

| This sizeable and quite rambling Greene King pub is pleasantly situated on the riverside but as a result can get very busy and touristy at certain times. The interior is split over 3 levels but far from feeling cavernous, it has plenty of nooks and crannies and generally feels reasonably intimate given the size of the pub. The 2 bars are situated on ground and upper levels with the middle level more of a loungey area with sofas and tub chairs. Plenty of old pictures of the city and then there is the debateable Pink Floyd connection.but I would leave it to the individual to decide how much of the story presented is deemed worthy of inclusion of the pub’s history. The beers come from the usual Greene King range – 3 Ales available on my visit (Speckled Hen, Abbott & IPA) at very reasonable prices given the touristy area and decent enough quality. Not an over extensive menu if you are looking to eat (as we were). There is a large terrace outside where the ducks await the crumbs and the punts are ready to whisk you off for a jolly on the Cam. The place certainly has its attraction and is worth popping in as part of a crawl or for a brisk session but not really a place I would choose to spend evenings in on regular basis.

| A food led pub next to the River Cam. A nice view of the river can be seen at the rear of the pub. I imagine those tables facing the rear windows are very popular. Only GK's IPA and Abbott available on handpump on our visit last Wednesday. Very quiet on the afternoon visit and only a quick Guinness here. The staff seemed to be preparing for the evenings diners.
