The Devonshire Arms, Cambridge

Since this pub was taken over my Milton brewery it has been one of the best pubs in Cambridge. The beer has been excellent every time I've visited and the staff are always friendly and helpful.

I tried the food there two nights ago and and I would score the fish and chips at 10/10.

As one of four or five great pubs in the area it's got a lot of competition but I think it holds it's own very well.

9/10

Elm Tree, Cambridge

Two pints, two dirty glasses (very dirty).

One beer, recommended by the barman, was stale and had sediment floating around in it. The other beer was average at best.

During the 45 mins I was there on a Sunday afternoon I was asked for change by a homeless drug addict, and babbled at by a local nutter.

The only positive things I can say are: there is a large selection of real ale (even if the quality is suspect), the bar staff are friendly and there are plenty of free seats.

Won't be going back.
