| It's hard to find a crap pub in Cambridge but this one certainly fits the bill. Avoid. graham2 - 9 Aug 2008 11:12 |
| Unmodernised Tut'n'Shive (remember them) which always seems the quitest pub in this famous drinking street. 1 real ale (Hobgoblin) OK but short measure and £3. Decent enough if you need to watch footbal on TV. mtaylor40 - 28 Feb 2008 21:17 |

| My first and most definitely last visit was made last Saturday whilst on a Stag Do. Unfortunately it had been decreed that the Champion of the Thames was to be leapfrogged in favour of this dive, which was mainly on grounds of its larger floorspace, as there were 15 of us. I was glad that I got ahead and sneaked one in at the Champion anyway. The beer: 4 possible pumps, only 1 functioning. At least I can say that the Fuller's London Pride was served well enough, but the plastic pintglass ruined the effect for me. Presumably plastic was being used on grounds that the firework display was happening on the common, but they're hardly adjacent and I fail to see the relevance. The pub is housed in a rather charming building, but don't be deceived if you're a traditional pubgoer hoping for a classic sedate and stylish Cambridge experience: it is dark, dingy, VERY smokey and seemingly themed, along the lines of loud rock music, motorbikes etc etc. It does possess a "character" but it is not in any way organic, genuine or pleasant. I'm all for earthy backstreet locals, but this is simply too grungey for the likes of me, and asks for far too much forbearance if one is forced to have a second pint there as I was!
