Baron Of Beef in Cambridge

Fantastic pub with a lovely cosy atmosphere and decent selection of drinks. Food here was phenomenal, genuinely some of the best pub food I've had. Staff all really lovely, especially Corey - will be back for sure!

It's a great pub with a fantastic atmosphere and very friendly staff.

Coffee was rubbish, food average. Visited on 06/03/2025

Had a lovely evening at The Baron of Beef last night playing a Speed Quiz, which happens every Wednesday. Staff were very friendly and it was a lovely atmosphere. Would for sure recommend to a friend.

Reservamos una mesa para cuatro aquí a través de su sistema de reservas para el pasado lunes por la noche a las 7 pm. Esto era para tener una comida FAMILIAR y luego ver fútbol en vivo después. Llegamos a las 18. 50 para que me digan que no se sirve comida hoy, debido a "problemas en la cocina" ¿Qué? ¿Por qué nos permitieron reservar para la comida? Te preguntan para qué quieres reservar (comida y bebida o simplemente deporte) cuando reservas. ¿El gerente dijo que posiblemente deberíamos habérnoslo dicho antes? Bueno, no lo estábamos. Preguntamos si si encontrábamos otro lugar para comer, si volvíamos, ¿habría fútbol? Los gerentes respondieron que sí, sin embargo, necesitaré una identificación ya que uno de su partido parece menor de 18 años, que es mi hija. Según su sitio web, este se anuncia como un PUB FAMILIAR, con buena comida y mostrando deporte. Absoluta carga de basura. Afortunadamente encontramos otro lugar para comer, si hubiera sido cualquier otra noche que un lunes por la noche, posiblemente no. Evitar, pubs mucho mejores en Cambridge, si este estaba en cualquier otro lugar que no fuera una ciudad turística, estaría fracasando. Muy pobre de GREEN KING,

Very lovely food and a relaxing environment. Would definitely recommend and come back!

They food was amazing and the service from that man was wonderful

This pub is absolutely amazing with an excellent atmosphere and quality and variety of foods and drinks. Staff are happy to help and are very knowledgeable, Rachel in particular is very helpful and even more friendly. I’ve never had a bad experience here and I couldn’t recommend it more.

Great place, great beer, great food.

A lovely pub with a relaxed vibe and decent prices. Opted for a non-alcoholic berry cider and was a bit shocked at the price, though the drink was crisp and gently floral on the taste buds. The steak and ale pie was fairly priced for a good portion and was a hearty meal. The gravy was tasty and the pie was rich and decadent. Do wish there was a bit more of the mushy peas in comparison to the chips and pie itself. All in all, a pleasant meal and place with the visit

This pub is wonderful! The bar staff are very friendly and helpful to us when we visited! We had a great time here very lovely atmosphere and we'd definitely come and visit again! Thanks for a great evening!

Gran ambiente de pub muy acogedora comida es gran cerveza bien cuidado buen personal un pub anticuado adecuado y gran carácter

It was nice to be here again after 19 years.

Had the most amazing food here! Such a lovely atmosphere and we were served by Emily who made us feel so welcome and make sure we had everything we needed! Will definitely be back again very soon ! Thank you again !

Visita para reunirse con amigos de varias zonas del país, cervezas finas y vinos en oferta, el menú de comida era excelente comida de pub, el ambiente era excelente, supongo que nuestra reunión se sumó a esto. Siento humedecer las cosas ligeramente, pero es necesario tener un candado instalado en el baño del caballero?

The bartenders were extremely nice and helpful. Even though the kitchen closed at 8p, they had no problem with us ordering dinners 1/4 till 8p, and the food came out hot and fresh. The beer came out fast. Very enjoyable experience.

Top notch experience. Staff are lovely

Fantastic service, wow food was amazing 🤩 we will be back, compliments to the chef

Can't recommend this place more. Me and my partner came this evening for dinner. We have shared 5 of the small plates together. The food was amazing, massive compliments to the chef. I asked and it was Simon who was cooking for us tonight. The atmosphere and service from the front of house encompassed everything I hoped for and more. Make this a stop next time your thinking of where to go for something to eat.

I was worried whether it was scam or overated. But from the customer service, especially super kind Japanese server, to the quality of food and the price, everything was good. I hope that this restaurant becomes more popular and hire employees like her. Thank for giving us good food memory in Cambridge

Good food and service. I love here:)

Gran pub! fabulosa mesa, gran servicio, precioso asado de domingo. Hacía mucho frío fuera y estaba tostado en el pub, encantador!

Nice vibe, lovely staff, solid prices for the area, food was what you'd expect. Not going to wow you, but when you're looking for a cosy place to get a drink hiding from the rain it'll tick that box!

Visited recently for some food and drinks, very good service from the team. Thank you Corey and Emily for looking after me during my visit, would visit again.

Great pub in the centre of town. Clean. Huge menu. Delicious food. Staff who know what they are doing.

good friendly pub,within easy walking distance to the centre of Cambridge. Beer and wine were fine,plenty of TVs to watch the Football.

Great food Excellent bar staff. Friendly helpful patient and excellent value for money without the usual 10% claimed service charge

I have noticed Cory has helped lodes with seething with the older crowd and has helped massively with placing me and my large group of friend in suitable seating. Best at table service. Always willing to bring drinks over.

What a great pub! We had a lovely meal here this evening. We were only in Cambridge for a few hours and popped in here by chance. Great food and the staff were very friendly. Lady behind the bar was very helpful with allergies. Thank you.

Lovely cosy friendly family pub xx

Lovely pub with good food and a great atmosphere. Came here for the first time in 2009 and it still has that great feeling today it had back then. And they have sports on TV too!

Fantastic pub with a great atmosphere. Staff are very helpful and very friendly ( made our dogs day with the treats they have near the bar) . Food was excellent and a good price in clouding a drink . It will ve our go to pub when in Cambridge. Thanks staff .

Visited with friends whilst touring some other pubs. Service was the worst I’ve ever received, it took ages to get served and it wasn’t even busy. Tables were greasy and dirty. Numerous times we came to the bar and nobody was there. Food was the worst I’ve had in a pub.

Visited on the 16/12 as a party of 4. Service was great and so was the atmosphere. The food however… I think the chef has given up on life. I ordered nachos, and they were DIRE. Chilli Doritos (who does that!!!) and just the tiniest smattering of nacho cheese sauce (I think there were around three small drops of it), a very small amount of sour cream which again was virtually undetectable and a couple of teaspoons of grey avocado - totally unseasoned. They could’ve just given me the pack of Doritos to be honest. They were so dry, I could feel them sucking the moisture out of my body. Didn’t want to complain at the time because it was my husband’s Birthday and I didn’t want to ruin the mood. But anyway, if you can’t do any better, take the nachos of the menu, because they SUCK.

Lovely traditional pub with a good selection of drinks and food.Always a good atmosphere and staff are friendly and helpful.

Went to this pub with a couple of friends and the service we received was impeccable, thanks to the understanding staff particularly a memeber called Rachel. She was particularly understanding with one of my friends who has learning difficulties and safe to say we felt very welcomed thus can’t wait to come back !

Didn't have much just a portion of French fries and a Pepsi cola drink , French fries were nicely cooked , bar staff were friendly and nice friendly atmosphere to , possibly another time have a more substantial meal

Nice and relaxed cafe. Food should have less fat... 🙂

Never made it for an experience and that’s because they decide after 1 month to cancel our booking for Christmas. Bit frustrating to be honest as it was only 4 days I called up to confirm everything was good and which I was told it was fine. Then today I receive a call to let me know there cancelling my booking as they wouldn’t be able to cater for 15 people. Very poor that they can’t manage their bookings properly. Now I’m left to find somewhere else to book at the start of December when everywhere is basically booked, would have been nice if they could have let me know a month ago when they confirmed my booking. Comes down to poor management and a poor ran pub that they can make such a simple mistake which now ruins it for me and the others who now need to find somewhere which is pretty unlikely.

I don’t usually leave reviews but the service or lack of that we received here was very very poor. We came in here the other day and nobody was behind the bar. We waited 5 minutes and still nobody behind the bar to serve us, even the few customers who were there looked bewildered too. We tried looking for staff but there wasn’t anybody we could find. I could have gone behind the bar my self and nobody would have known. We went somewhere else. I wouldn’t recommend this place to anyone.

nice pub pretty good staff are nice drinks are nice, nice

Brilliant- service, food, decor and ambiance.

Generous Portion I am having reviews for all of Cambridge pubs. So the grades and ratings are just temporary, and I will return to adjust after the pub marathon. The rival of this pub is Mitre next door. Similar to the Bath House and Eagle nearby. The food was delivered hot, in generous portions. I thought the burger tasted better than Bryon nearby, despite the fact that Baron of Beef is not burger specialist. It's cheaper and has bigger portions than Bryon too. The vegetables and potatoes of the Sunday roast tasted good, not overdone. Lovely crispy Yorkshire pudding. Nothing we ordered was bland. Looking around other tables, the food that other customers was generous in portions too. The environment was clean. The tables are not too close to each other. Maybe the prices are lower than Mitre next door, but Baron of Beef's food quality and quantity was very impressive.

The burgers are average, the portions are not big, and the beer is delicious, especially the pumpkin beer.

Very good service by Corey- would 100% recommend

Really friendly service and a lovely place. We love coming here on uni nights out too!!

There are many tap beers that are hard to find in Japan. When I went, there were 13 different beers on tap! The staff was very friendly and gave us some recommended beers! Please stop by when you go to Cambridge ☺️

Great pub in the centre of cambridge. it overlooks st johns college which is stunning. they always have 4-5 ales on which are all differernt. live music on a friday is a great hit!

Rachel the bartender was amazing, so kind and welcoming.

Amazing food, Amazing drinks wonderful service. Amazing Sunday roast

Came in the other day for a drink, lovely atmosphere and really friendly staff. They had lots of vegetarian options and kindly asked me if i had any allergies. Didn’t get much food but the chips were delicious, 10/10 would come again!! X

Lovely staff and brilliant service every time! The food is also fab during the day!!

Booked a table for 8 for 2nd November by telephone on 10th October 2024, when we got there, they had no record of our booking, so that left us with nothing to eat as everywhere we went to had no tables free for us all. So disappointed, had 2 very hungry children with us too. We were looking forward to celebrating our granddaughters 9th birthday, she was very upset we couldn't eat anywhere and had to return home. (A train and bus journey away)

Great pub, really good food, great food and good sport

Baron of Beef exceeded all my expectations! The ambiance was cozy yet elegant, setting the perfect tone for a memorable meal.

Great pint of beer and had food of the festive menu, I had the turkey toastie with roast potatoes with gravy, absolutely amazing, gravy was spot on as was the roast potatoes. My partner had grilled cheese toasties which she throughly enjoyed. Top place for food and drink!!

Ridiculously slow. 2 people at bar and no queue but took a while to get served. The lunch menu outside wasn't on the tables as a menu inside. After a ten minute wait and a remark from a nearby table about waiting times I asked the barman how long the 2: sandwiches we had ordered would be.. apparently a further 30 mins. 40 mins for 2 sandwiches in a not too busy pub is pretty silly. We and the 4 people next to us all left. That's 6 customer's left due to this sorry state of affairs. No doubt someone will reply with a pile of tosh but someone on management needs to look at why 6 customers all left

Very friendly staff good choice of drinks

We ordered two set lunches, and one flat iron steak in late October 2024. For the steak( around 16 quid, around 8 oz as what we were told) we said we would like medium rare when we ordered. But then the steak came in with absolutely medium or medium-well, and the steak was not even hot. We told the waiter, and the waiter was so kind to offer us another steak with medium rare. But yes this time the steak was medium rare but the temperature was kind of only a bit warm. The waiter told us the steaks are halfway pre-cooked in the kitchen and when there’s an order, they re-heat the steak and that’s why. Totally disappointed and not acceptable! We are steak lover, if 10 is full mark I would only rate it 1. We will never try this restaurant again I am afraid.

Best pint of Guinness I’ve had in Cambridge south of the river.

Friendly staff and amazing food !! Must visit

Quite disappointing really. I had the steak and ale pie which was tasty, but had the sum total of one, yes one, piece of beef in it. Another in our party had the burger which came with onion rings of which there were two onion rings from the smallest part of the onion. Roast chicken on the other hand was fabulous I'm told. Service quite slow.

Really good find, shame we didn't make it back for food. We were really looking forward to eating herr.

Their steak and ale pie had no steak, only gravy. The portion size was small for a pub. Great beers, Great prices.

Very attentive staff, quick service. We had fish & chips and are looking forward to the open mike.

Brilliant pub great student deals

Great pub. Great staff. Love this pub. Cory the manager is amazing. Definitely check this place out.

Couldn't * the food. We ate at Cote. Stuart

Quite possibly the best pub in Cambridge, Corey, Louis, Matt and the team are incredibly friendly and always provide a warm welcome. You couldn’t find a better pint in Cambridge. Great food too!

An incredible and emotional experience. With the kindest with the biggest souls gave me a day to remember

A great find on a day trip to Cambridge, I was looking for a decent but not too upmarket pub in a good location and with tables outside for sitting and watching the folks go by. This pub fitted the bill perfectly and I spent a contented hour sipping their very reasonably priced Malbec. Will definitely be visiting again!

god I love the baron. it’s kinda a bad pub but a fine establishment at the same time. 5 stars

Started outside watching the world going by and then inside for a late lunch. Great, genuinely, friendly staff. Throughly recommend.

Lively little pub serves food and nice drinks reasonably priced, greener king pub. Lovely staff

Perfect sports pub in the city centre Place to go!

Came in for a lovely meal with the Girlfriend the other day, loved the food and drinks, really great atmosphere and all the staff had a great knowledge of the products they was selling, will definitely be going again

Staff a very welcoming and friendly. Food was great and will recommend a visit. Friday night is open mic night and had a great atmosphere. Will definitely be back

One of the best pubs in Cambridge. The patrons are always chill. Great music good beer and jenga. If you’re lucky, sometimes the baron pops in to say ello. But seriously, a really nice pub with nice people and ever better beer.

We were here in the afternoon for snacks and brews. Stepped out of the rain. Had great service and information from Corey !!!!

Nice place to have a beer and watch football!

I’ve called in for a pint on many occasions. The Baron has the potential to be a very good pub. Its staff are super-nice and it’s very dog friendly. What’s not to like? Well, the gents toilets for a start. How long has the lock on the cubicle been broken? Months, if not over a year. Likewise the toilet seat. And the door itself is covered in offensive graffiti. They might blame vandalism, but the truth is vandalism begets vandalism unless you have a zero tolerance. Fix the door and the seat, and for goodness sake paint over the graffiti. My wife tells me the women’s toilets are not much better.

Didn't eat, but were thirsty, and so was the dog. Quick service and they also came around with water and treats for the dog. Clean. Happy and enjoyable visit.

We (two married couples) visited the Baron of Beef during our short break in the City of Cambridge. As we had already had lunch earlier, we popped into the pub for drinks only as it looked so inviting. Although we were only short time visitors, we were given a warm, welcoming greeting by the landlord who was very friendly and most hospitable. The pub was very clean, comfortable and had a very pleasant tranquil atmosphere. Although it was to be only a quick visit, we enjoyed the drinks and hospitality so much that we stayed much longer than we had anticipated which was credit to the landlord, friendliness and quality of the fayre on offer. Many thanks

Pleasent pub, we were unable to try the food, but it looked gorgeous. Next time. CAMRA membership discount available here

Amazing atmosphere with the live music and made infinitely better by our server Louis, he was very attentive but not to the point it was too much. Very funny too and quite the looker I must say haha. All in all great experience and will be coming back for sure 👍

I would like to thank the Baron personally. The pie he had prepared was fantastic and went down a treat.

Decent beer but music too loud so causes everyone to shout. If they killed the music this would be a decent pub

Great little pub! We visited last night for the live music. Wonderful service from Louis behind the bar and we’ll definitely be back!

Lovely pub with an amazing atmosphere! Got chatting to the man behind the bar called zak, the service was excellent and the food was delicious also :)

Oh yes, this is where I want to be on a Friday night in Cambridge. Especially, because of Zak, the amazing bartender who was so great

Just stopped by for a quick drink. Zak is a super friendly barman. A good, friendly place to go for food & drink in Cambridge

Sandwiches were very nice. Service was good. Served today was from Zak who was nice and friendly. Overall good experience.

A very good city pub with decent food, drinks and service. We had the cod and chips (skin removed from the fish before battering - so important!!) and the meatless burger. Both were excellent and served quickly. The Greene King IPA was particularly good I was told. The pub was very quiet but it was early lunchtime on a Tuesday. The app worked perfectly for ordering so that's always a plus. Overall very good and recommended!

Came for lunch with a few friends, we all had different options from the menu and were all really happy with our food. The staff here are lovely and the atmosphere was great too! Going to book coming for dinner soon!

Great pub while we were on holiday. Staff nice and pleasant

Great pub! Good food good atmosphere will 100% be back again!

Great pub! The food was lovely, the atmosphere was good and the service was great! Myself and my mates will 100% be back again soon!

We arrived at 9:00 p.m., the beer was very good, live music, but NO FOOD, and no one explained to us why (was it late?)...

Good old English pub...but toilet!!! Come on!!! Disaster

Lovely lunch on a gorgeous sunny day watching the world go by.
