| This is a basic, no-frills backstreet boozer on the outskirts of town. Interior has a rustic feel, with bare floorboards, wood panelling and heavy wooden tables and chairs. There are books and newspapers available to peruse, a mixed clientele of students, locals and visitors like ourselves. It was the last day of a beer festival on our visit, with at least fourteen ales and seven ciders to choose from. My friend and I sampled the Castle Rock Sand Martin, a porter with strong chocolate flavours, a palate-cleansing Gareth's Perry from the Pickled Pig brewery and on our return visit later in the day we tried the Wessex Russian Stoat, a very tasty strong, dark ale at 9%. An unpretentious pub selling good beer, I wish I had a local like this. holbornboy - 27 Apr 2009 12:00 |
| Popped in for a couple, and every time I went to the bar they had added a beer. Truly a gem of a pub. Fred Dibnah's obit is still on one noticeboard... london_drunker - 14 Mar 2009 17:01 |
| I paid a visit this weekend and the guy with the scruffy hair is indeed back behind the bar serving top quality ales and the kitchen was back open too so things are back to normal. I drank my usual Tiger which was excellent and my friend tried a local beer at 7.8% volume which was great. And nice to see the toilets rendered and re-tiled. hogshead - 1 Mar 2009 09:26 |
| I am a regular -- some would say a permanent fixture -- in this pub, and I can reassure you that no 'guy with scruffy hair' has left and, while the menu is pared down somewhat these days, the kitchen is usually open for basic fare. hadda - 11 Feb 2009 14:23 |
| Afraid the friendly guy with scruffy hair has left which is a shame and the kitchen is no longer open most weekdays however the beer is top quality as usual which is all that counts I stick to Tiger which is always great.Probably the best ale house in Cambridge Ale district. hogshead - 5 Feb 2009 20:36 |
