Very quiet on my visit but still friendly enough. The beers were a little edgy on the quality front, but still drinkable. I thought the meter for the outdoor heater was funny. Worth a look in if you are in the dockside area.

Situated on North Bank this is a very friendly pub with a strong real ale following, within a minute or so of entering the locals involved me in their banter. The service was really good.With all this good cheer I spotted a rather unusual item, it was a meter that took twenty pence piecesand provided five minutes heating for the smoking shed outside.I discreetly said to the locals how odd I found this! The reply was in unequivocal unison that the landlord prides himself on ( their words) his skinflint reputation. The ales were lovely, a few guest beers from breweries such as Humpty Dumpty and Iceni.

Traditional old style boozer near to the station and with a car park out the back. Bit of an old mans' pub but a great range of well kept beer. Unfortunately the Moorish Mild had just gone but we were still left with a choice of Elgood's Cambridge Blue, Cottage IK Brunel, Theakston's Old Peculiar and Moorland Original. There was also a range of buffet style snacks on the bar, including prawns and cheese (it was a Sunday lunchtime). Has a pool table and a large screen which was showing the Grand Prix.

Friendly pub close to the train station. Five hand pumps with Elgoods Cambridge, Theakston's Old Perculiar, Morland Original, Cottage IK Brunel Ale and Addlestones Cider. We noticed the Burton Bridge Moorish Mild on the blackboard outside and were disappointed to hear it had just finished.
I understand Elgoods Cambridge and the Addlestones cider are the only permanents. A very large screen was showing the British Grand Prix yesterday and probably most major sports events. A pool table is also available if you fancy a game. A selection of nibbles was left on the bar, cheese pieces and prawns with dip.

Excellent beer with Elgoods Cambridge at £1.90 a pint plus cheap pool at 40p a game and 3 other real ales worth the trip
