High Table Restaurant in Cambridge

Unfortunately, the pub is under new management. In almost empty pub on Friday night, I waited 35+ minutes for fish and chips, and had to remind them 2 times about it.

So, not ashamed to say it: I drink a fair few pints of ale. Seemed like a nice enough pub. Ordered a pint of one of my staple favourites - Old Speckled Hen. Turns out it was off - I could have grimaced my way through it, but at over £5 and given that I’d stopped specially for the luxury of an afternoon pint, I took it back politely. Was told by the landlord that it was fine and that he still had 3 gallons of the stuff to get through and (rudely and irritably) to give me another one but I should taste it as “there’s no point wasting pints”. Well (a) what happens to the customer being right? and (b) I’m sorry you’ve still got 3 gallons, I do know what I’m talking about it was simply not a good or even average pint. And, simply, given I was nothing but polite and courteous, (c) how blooming rude! Second pint of, presumably faster moving given that it’s Christmas “Santa” ale was fine, if (perhaps predictably) somewhat bland. Give it a miss unless you want run of the mill lager or unless you want to be insulted by self-entitled landlords who really need a reality check when it comes to beer quality and customer service. Such a shame really as this pub’s location makes it a prime opportunity for the ever-increasing science park community… who, again I am qualified to say, really struggle for choices in the immediate area… if you’re one of those and you care about beer and friendliness, I’d recommend the Haymakers. It’s very much a spit and sawdust type place, but you will never ever get a bad pint, so you’ll not need to test the establishment… the best way surely? 😊

Friendly service and such fresh, super hot, tasty, crispy cod and chips. Halloumi fries and tuna burger also excellent. Excellent local restaurant/take away.

Nice pub for a Sunday roast. Good environment, good food, can be a bit busy.

This is an amazing pub that could easily be overlooked, but you do yo would have missed a real gem. The beer is good quality with a great range and using local breweries. There is also a good range of ciders and wines. The food is quality based on Italian themes, the pizzas are varied and have flavors which defines the pizza it's not bland it's not all the same. They are freshly made in site to order.
