| What an appalling experience. The service was curt and abrupt with the staff acting like some form of demi-gods in their private space. Couldn't care less about the customers who had the temerity to interfere with their gossiping. Waited 5 minutes (at least) to be served in a quarter full bar. The girl who served me didn't even speak. A quick glance whilst chatting to one of her friends with the conversation continuing whilst pouring our drinks. God awful beer, didn't even try the food (a person next to me had some concoction which looked like they had drained the nearby river). Avoid at all costs. sophiecloudsley - 3 Apr 2011 18:06 |
| As out-of-town visitors in Cambridge staying in a nearby ****hotel, we found the Old Spring near the boat houses on the River Cam while touring the city on foot. The pub is quite large and roomy and was frequented by many well-behaved guests who were all having a good time. We managed to find a nice table in spite of the fact that the pub was very busy. The beer, food and service were excellent. JohnPeckfort - 19 May 2010 00:03 |
| This place makes me shudder! mega busy, mega expensive for crap beer and populated by the worst type of Cambridge resident - the upper-middle-class obnoxious types from the nearby DeFreville estate. Steer clear! thaymouse - 3 Apr 2010 19:43 |
| A Large pub with a very small car park. Mid week evening visit and it was very very busy. Its a Greedy King pub so the usual Abbot and IPA were on along with Edmunds and 2 guest beers Cambridge 1209 and Old Trip. I had the Edmunds first. Totally flat and tasteless. Then tried the IPA which was OK but tasted old. Finally the 1209 which tasted like dish water. Beer prices were high with IPA at £3 a pint and Edmunds at £3.30 which is expensive even for Cambridge. They have a fairly good food menu although the portions are small. I probably wont visit again as there are far better pubs within a short walk. CambridgeBlue - 28 Aug 2009 11:43 |
| This is a good, honest, well-run pub. Well-kept beer (GK & Abbot, plus a guest), pretty good food. Brightly lit and a bit soulless. Caters to a classy professional crowd (except for me, that is). SillyPoint - 4 Oct 2008 16:40 |
