| Large GK pub that had a beer festival at the time of my visit so a good range of beer (about half GK and half true gusts). Agree with Love Real Ale about the Moonshine - Orange Chocolate Stout and I'm not normally a stout drinker. Barmaid was knowledge about all the beer on offer - apparently having sample several of them the night before! :o) Rod_Hariga - 1 Jul 2008 20:58 |
| Large traditional G/K pub. We were very glad we timed our visit for their 4th annual beer festival. A good number of beers not owned by G/K were available. We took 6 halves of beer we had not had recently or for the first time. Favourites were the Orange Chocolate Stout from the local Moonshine brewery and Nautilus from Oulton. I noticed that they also stock one of the rare St Edmunds pumps with the North/South head choice. I knew I probably would not like but you have to try before you can moan about it. It's served far to cold and even though it is supposed to be a cask it tastes like a keg. The bar we were in is quite small for a pool table and we kept being asked to move. It is also well known as a live music venue. Love_good_ale - 29 Jun 2008 14:05 |
| Good place. Pub/venue where the pub part of it is actually quite nice. Venue side is a little small, but that makes it more intimate on nights when the bands don't pull in a big crowd. Relaxed and friendly staff made it a good evening all round. anonymous - 21 Mar 2007 09:27 |
| An interesting place, clearly not swayed by recent marketing campaigns! Good beer and some choice, but a bit lacking. No music on my night but with a character that would live on! Rad - 15 Sep 2005 23:41 |
| Cambridge's best live music venue and pub serving real ale and great food. Scatman Steve - 25 Apr 2005 14:12 |
