There's an unfriendly feel about this place, and the oversize TV removes any atmosphere that may have been present. So many better pubs close by.

This pub's in an envious position, with an idyllic setting over the Cam to enjoy a pint. However, if you intend eating here then be prepared for the wait. Also, the food tends to be mediocre. Last time we went all the meals were luke warm instead of piping hot. I've been in Cambridge eight years and throughout that time the Granta's always had problems with its kitchen. OK if all you want is a drink though.

What a wasted opportunity. Lovely building, but it's a Wetherspoons, run with a Wetherspoons "pile 'em high and sell 'em cheap" philosophy. So you get the piss heads and other such sorts who need to get blotto on a limited budget. Good beer selection, but I've sent a fair few back due to them being off; a decent barman would have realised and not served it in the first place. There are better pubs within 50 yards of the Regal.

Yuck. Just an industrial drinking establishment bereft of any character. Caters for the younger client�le, and competes with the Wetherspoons around the corner for the crown of blandest pub in Cambridge.

Great pub and staff. The beer's always top notch, which is a boon considering that in such a tourist trap of a location they wouldn't have to try hard due to constant tourist trade. Best pub within a ten minute walk in any direction, and the only gripe is that it can be quite hard to get a seat.

The little boozer's a gem. It's a throw back to years ago, with excellent beer and decent grub (though food's only at lunchtimes and not on Sunday). There's no music, jukeboxes or silly slot machines. Just an above-average aged crowd enjoying decent beer. Go here for a quiet pint away from annoying younger drinkers.

Best food for miles around. I live in Ely, and I'd say that this place has better nosh than any pub in Cambridge too (can be a tad pricey, but decent portions).
