Lord Byron in Cambridge - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Excellent value for money. Very friendly staff. Great bar, Very good food both for dinner and breakfast. Room was large enough and beds comfortable. Bathroom was spotless and large enough. Very good shower. Easy parking and very well located for access to city and other tourist attractions.

We visited earlier this week after finding the Lord Byron online, searching for a dog friendly pub in Trumpington. On arrival there was a sign on the door saying 'guide dogs only'. Confused by this we asked the bar server who confirmed dogs are not welcome inside, but we could sit outside. It was a very cold wet day!!! Needless to say, we went elsewhere!

This pub is not Dog friendly as advertised, so unless you want to sit outside on a wet day with your pooch then go and spend your money elsewhere

Service, room and food was great, however, first impressions were not great, scrap cars in the car park, bin area very untidy and the garden needs a good tidying up.

Simple but clean rooms. From the cleaner to the (young) host, they were exceptionally friendly and competent. Good cuisine and nice ambience. Only recommended.

Room 10 or Room 101?? We received an excellent welcome, told we were lucky and had Room 10, the best in the pub. We were led to a separate detached small building adjacent to the pub which at first seemed to be rather cute. The evening meal was excellent and reasonably priced. We retired to our room. We were kept awake for most of the night as there was a large air-conditioning unit just feet away. The fan started and stopped all night long and was so loud that we seriously considered sleeping in our car. There were only breakfast staff available in the morning, and we had to wait until after the pub opened late afternoon (4.00pm) to ask if we could have a different room, but none were available. Also informed that the unit was not air-con but the cooler for Coke and could not be switched off overnight as Coke had to be kept cool until the pub reopened at 4.00 pm next day. We were offered a free drink at the bar as recompense for the “inconvenience”. After another bad night (this time with the shower room toilet macerator deciding to trigger every so often even when not used) we abandoned our remaining booking and found an alternative pub. We can only comment on THIS room, which we renamed Room 101 ! It was a converted single garage with kitchenette extension and a shower room extension beyond that. Very small, you have to squeeze against the toilet to open the shower door. Just one small individual shower gel to last two people for three days, no-where to hang damp towels, 3 broken light bulbs, a badly hung and unfinished front door and the bedroom window just 10 inches from the street footpath – curtains permanently closed. Other reviews are good, so do stay here, great location, just a very short walk to the PR3 bus to the city centre which runs brilliantly every 10 minutes. Although breakfast was a disappointment, the evening meal was really good. Just avoid Room 101 !" We did submit the above to the manager asking if he wanted to correct any errors, but no reply received after 3 days....

My friends and I were asked to leave the pub, after having ordered drinks and everything, because we had the intention of knitting while we were there. The lady (we believe she was the owner) said "we don't do this here", as if we were doing anything wrong or offensive!! It's us who are offended by this attitude and we won't be coming back.

We decided to go to this pub for our knitting meeting. We had some drinks and we were planning to have dinner as well. We didn't have time to order dinner as while having our drinks a lady came to us explaining that this was not the right place for knittig, only for drinks (that we were already having) and food ( that we were about to order). There were plenty of empty tables and we just sat down.

Stayed on a saturday night while going to a concert at the corn exchange. The rooms 9 of them are separate from the main pub/restaurant. Good choice of real ales and a good size free car park. The breakfast was awesome with a nice choice of food including a full english and a big pot of proper fresh coffee. We walked into the centre 30 minute walk, but there are plenty of buses at the main road. Staff friendly and helpful. Very good price for Cambridge. A few parts of the main pub and garden could do with a bit of TLC, next time i come to cambridge i will 100% stay here again. Room was very clean with all the essentials and we slept well

Excellent Sunday roast. Great service

Best pub in town by far, friendly staff and wonderful food, if you never been you missing out. Strongly recommend.

Great staff Lovely breakfast Needs TLC

Good food. Very friendly and polite staff. Will visit again next time we're in Cambridgeshire.

A lovely pub with great accomodation and food. Staff really friendly

Didn't stay but the service was friendly and welcoming and probably the best Caesar salad I've ever had. Good beers too.

Friendly team with fantastic food

Great Sunday lunch with lovely food and delightful surroundings

Take eye covers as the curtains let in loads of light from the security lights that stay on all night. Room was clean but tired. Check in staff not the most welcoming. Breakfast however was excellent as were the ladies that served it.

My boyfriend booked us a romantic weekend near to Cambridge and I was excited to explore the rich history of the area. The location and the rooms are amazing. Very clean and comfortable, and the building could have come out of a Tudor period drama. The only thing letting the place down is the Tudor attitude towards the guests - you get the feeling that if you say the wrong thing it'll be off with your head - I guess that adds to the rustic charm, though :) It was a lovely experience, but the inflexibility of the staff and the surly attitude means I won't be going back. This is the twenty-first century and guests expect more these days than just a room and breakfast. I do hope that the management provide some customer service training to their staff, because it is a wonderful destination for a break and it is a shame for it to be let down this way.

It was a cold and rainy day. First impression it was a bit run down place, but usually I don’t mind. I arrived with a heavy backpack 2 hours before check in time expecting to wait in the lobby and just have a read there. Alas, no lobby and no staff. No room to wait inside. Just a dark pub, which wasn’t open yet. Of course I could leave my backpack there, but it would be unattended. But no I myself could not wait inside. The nice cleaning lady showed me the way to the nearest Waitrose where I could sit and have a coffee. I did, called to cancel the reservation and just went online to find another hotel. Totally worth the extra money.

Absolutely appalled and disgusted by the way my wife and 2 year old were spoken to by the land lady here. She should be ashamed of herself embarrassing woman. No one should give this woman money. Facilities to change a young one’s nappy no where near good enough. Disgusting. Won’t be going there again and hope no one else will.

A good local pub with some good cask beers from the Milton Brewery. We went for a Sunday roast as a family and were very well looked after. Note that we only went to the pub - I can't give an opinion on the hotel part!

Nicest pub in Cambridge. Great food and Ale.

The rooms were basic but clean, they only also get cleaned daily which is great. Food was nice in the bar but the one issue in general in Cambridge is the serving of frozen chips with meals especially when dinners are not cheap.

Cozy niche pub with local brews and a great atmosphere, nice little place

Excellent staff, food ,and rooms definitely will stay again. The only thing that i found was a hard bed, but that is my personal preference.

Had a one night stay before a trip to Duxford Imperial War Museum. The rooms were basic but very clean, tidy and cosy. The staff in the pub were super friendly and really helpful. We went into the pub for an evening meal, the food was fab and I was impressed with the gluten free options they had available. We also had breakfast included, the staff were fantastic and couldn't do enough for us. Overall a great experience!

Stayed one night in the twin room, room was clean and tidy and even had hot choc option so my sister was very happy lol. Only down side was the beds were very hard which on reading other reviews seems to be mentioned by people staying in two room. The staff were lovely and had a great breakfast in the morning x

Wow!!! Been craving this Roast dinner for weeks. Then found out this pub around the corner from me that I used to drink in to ablivion during the day on my own does one. So here I am loving life in recovery with a Diet Coke and a cracking Sunday roast. #recoveryispossible Roast beef, chicken, pork with crackling, pigs in blanket, stuffing with all the trimmings. Was soOo good. Will definitely be back 👍

Loved this place. Rooms were a good size. Food was delicious. Staff were very welcoming on both nights we stayed here.

Great breakfasts and caters well for gluten free diets Neat accomodation... With unique twists... Ours was a cute den with mini kitchen. Waitrose in easy walking distance.

Good value and amazing cider. Kids playground makes it a must in the summer.

What a historic place. The pub itself is really old with low ceilings and beams. The floor is on 2 levels. There are 3 fireplaces. The walls have wood panels, really is lovely. The bar has an excellent selection of drinks. Which are served by friendly staff. We had dinner here 2 nights, and each night had different staff on who were all friendly and happy to chat to you. The Friday night, we both had cod and chips with crushed minted peas, delicious. Really good-sized portions. My husband had sticky toffee pudding and custard for pudding. On Saturday night, we shared a camembert with red onion chutney and toast. For mains, I had steak pie with chips and vegetables, and my husband had chicken and bacon tagliatelle. Again, everything was delicious. The bedrooms are in a separate building which you walk under a roof so as not to get wet. Our room has 2 twin beds with a good size shower room. The shower wasn't the best, but there was plenty of hot water. There is an air-conditioning unit in the bedroom, which also acts as a heater. Very efficient. We would definitely stay here again. It is a couple of miles to the centre of Cambridge, which we walked, but there is also a bus that you can get the PR3 from the centre of Cambridge and get off just round the corner on Maris Lane. It is very quiet here. There is ample free parking here.

Just spent 2 nights while 3 of us visited the Duxford Museum. Very friendly staff, good food at sensible prices. The rooms are basic but well cleaned. Thank you to the staff as we’ve had a nice stay and would come back again.

The staff and food here are fantastic. The breakfast was excellent and again the staff were terrific.

Comfy place to stay quaint old pub mind your head on the beams in the bar. Lovely food, great english breakfast.

We arrived at 1pm from Qatar which was a very long flight only to be told they did not open until 4pm, the lady did take pity on us and had a room made up. I found the room small and basic but clean, the worse part for me was the towels, small and pretty well threadbare, an investment there would be worthwhile. The garden was very sad, unkempt, weedy with unmowed grass, not at all inviting to sit in. The pub itself is very old obviously and had character but the covers on the window seats were covered with food stains which looked very bad in a restau rant, couldn't sit there. Breakfast was average with basic choices.Wish I could be more complimentary but it is what it is.

Good range of local ales. Didn't stay, but its a nice local pub with cosy atmosphere and traditional decor. Beware the low ceiling and step by the bar, especially after a few beers!

Good service, main meals excellent. Disappointing desserts for gluten free choices. So chose Irish coffee instead but this wasn't available. The main courses were extremely good- empty plates all round. Lovely location - beautiful low beams and lovely atmosphere

We usually have food at this pub,it's lovely and the owner is also a lovely lady!! The food is always very good and tastes fresh

Stopped for a drink...stayed for a meal...roasts...are lovely...will be returning...⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Lovely beer garden as well as nice interior

Really good roast dinner, nothing was too much trouble.

Nice welcome, good evening meal, room basic but clean but soundproofing poor, a real shame I had to have an argument with 2 members of staff to have a hash brown with my breakfast..replacing a sausage and tomato! Afraid I won’t return if I’m in Cambridge

Perfect for our short stay Meals in the pub were quite good value and large enough for a hungry tourist

La verdad que es un muy buen hotel. El único problema son los horarios de check-in y check-out, poco convenientes en relación al resto de la industria. Ahí se terminó lo malo. La habitación está en un lugar hermoso y tranquilo. Es una habitación bastante grande, con un buen espacio para guardar cosas y un buen escritorio. El baño es grande, con buena agua caliente y muchas toallas. El desayuno es excepcional, de los mejores que he tenido en un hotel. La cama es cómoda, se nota que es bastante nueva. Todo estaba muy limpio. Muy recomendable.

Simple very clean rooms with good amenities with a cook who really knows his way around a full English 😀

A cozy restaurant not far from my house. I often come here, I am always well fed.

Fairly basic, dated but clean facilities. Massive beds. Poor soundproofing. Food and beer was pretty good. Friendly enough staff.

Second stay and, again, superb. Very friendly, nice rooms, lovely atmosphere. Many thanks.

Nice pub, tasty pub food. Accessible parking. Cozy environment. It has a pretty garden as well.

Went to have Breakfast this morning as advertised but you're Closed.

Lovely building friendly staff. A little gem of a place!

Visited last night, marked change with food, the camambere with garlic and rosemary sharer, size of camambere significantly reduced in size, only enough for one, price £9. Makes this expensive for its portion size, saw also addition of lots of olive oil. Price is slightly reduced but not the same quality. Maybe small salad would enhance or just tomatoes or carot batons to also dip or have with it. Their opening hours 12 noon till 21.00hrs every day apart from Sunday when they stop serving food 17.00hrs. Note Mondays kitchen is closed. Bar still open. They are also have rooms if people book to Opening times added, correct as at 19.9.2022. Monday kitchen closed added 01.07.2023. Bar opening times 12.00noon to 23.00hrs. Kitchen is 12.00noon to 21.00hrs. Every day, Apart from Sunday 12.00noon to 16.00hrs. Monday kitchen is closed now.

A really lovely pub with good accommodation and nice grub. The room was clean, spacious with a good bathroom and instant hot water. Would definitely stay again.

Een sfeervol, eeuwenoud hotel restaurant pub. We hebben er geslapen en gegeten, beiden waren prima. Mooie ervaring, inrichting ademt het oude Engeland, ook het meubilair is antiek. De kamers zijn netjes en verzorgd. Het bed is goed maar wel wat kort (1:90 cm), wellicht ook antiek, het sliep overigens wel goed. De badkamer is netjes. Het diner was prima, echt Engels. Goede vegetarische opties. Het ontbijt was verzorgd, wel Engels, dus voor een Europeaan wellicht wat zwaar! De prijs vond ik prima voor het gebodene, daarom zeker een aanrader!

Friendly, cosy, budget priced hotel, tucked away in a side street. Basic but good sized clean rooms . Great indoor and outdoor spaces, delicious food, friendly and helpful staff. Recommended.

Not impressed with the roast dinners

Was very apprehensive on arrival but my experience significantly improved. The rooms were very basic but very clean and did the job, bed was clean and fairly comfortable although found myself waking every few hours due to the air conditioning clonking. Food was again basic but well cooked. Staff were exceptional and friendly. Overall a good experience and would stay again.

Check in was 4pm but when we arrived there was nobody around. Eventually found a door open and after 5 mins someone came out of the kitchen and said we dont open until 4 and we pointed out it was 4.15 he disappeared and came back shortly followed by the owner who said sorry to keep you I was outside chatting .... There was a problem with the water in our room .maybe an air lock .The plumbing gurgled all night and the shower was like a drip. The breakfast was very good and the breakfast staff lovely . Nice beer garden.

Lovely meal and service in 2022 just after final opening up after last lockdown. Returned in 2023 when food and service definitely not as good. Ordered the same meal (sea bass). It was overdone on both sides and the meal was minus the beautiful baby tomatoes it included in 2022. We complained but were not offered a refund. The chef was told and reportedly said that sea bass was meant to be cooked that way! Only excuse I could think of was possibly that we went on a Sunday (previously was a Wednesday) and we were probably expected to order a roast dinner, so maybe the normal chef was having a day off.

Good for a pint, nice garden with kids area at the back. Not the cleanest of places which puts me off ordering food. They had live music at the back of the pub with is nice to see

I had a lovely 16 night stay at the Lord Byron Inn. All the staff were so kind and accommodating and my every need was met. It was the softest landing into my new hometown. The location is so central with a bus stop just around the corner and the pub serves a variety of delicious meals.

The staff were very friendly, chatty and helpful. Food was hot, good quality and served in good time. Pub is quaint, cosy and relaxed.

went for a beer very thirsty after a long walk nice beer garden ordered a beer and bitter shandy wish we had not bothered terrible beer did not drink it, a sip was enough the waiter ask what was wrong with it told him it was horrible he said it might have been the lemonade but was not offered a refund they need to buy in some decent beer will not go again

Awesome pub - the best ‘actual pub’ in Trumpington by far. Great range of local (i.e. brewed themselves!) ales and always very well kept. Nice large garden in summer, cosy fire in winter. Can’t wait for them to reopen!

The whole place needs a lot of money spending on it. The photographs do no represent the actual place, don't know how old they are.

Spent a pleasant couple of hours at the Lord Byron but there are pros and cons to the pub. Ordered a black coffee and lime soda. The former was weak and incredibly grainy at the bottom, so not a brilliant americano by any stretch. The overall makeup of the establishment is tired and the gents’ WC leaves much to be desired. However the friendly nature of the staff, log burner and other traditional aspects to this pub which make it welcoming, cosy and somewhere I’d probably return to.

The food itself was very nice with a well varied menu. you get generous sized portions for your money

We went here for a Friday drink and a meal, beer was good. I had fish n chips which was ok, my partner opted for the stout steak pie which was lacking in meat and the bottom of the pastry was soggy. Not good. To top it off there was some local @ the bar who thought he was joey essex who constantly swore whilst drinking with the bar staff which was quite unpleasant for the old couple who were also eating a few tables away from us.

Great pub food, huge portions at a good price. Nice garden out the back with play area for the kids.

Nice room ....clean and in good order. Breakfast was great Pub itself OK..bit run down but it seems to be a local so fine.

Two Sunday lunches and one fish and chips absolutely delicious. Great service by cheerful staff definitely recommended. We sat inside but there is a large garden to sit in if preferred. Easy to get to by bus or car (large car park)

The dinning room is atmospheric and the menu is excellent. All food was well prepared and tasty. We even had a discount because we were staying at a local hotel. A fine place to dine.

Este es un buen lugar para alojarse si estás en Cambridge fuera del centro a sólo 2 libras. 60 en autobús a Cambridge y salen cada 10 minutos te quedas lejos del pub en sí, las habitaciones son muy cómodas y el desayuno estaba bien equipada cama cómoda era muy buena y en el precio de la estancia así que, en un gran lugar para alojarse a un precio estupendo.

Food is amazing! Great portions and wonderful tasting homemade food. Loved it! Definitely recommend.

Nos dieron una cálida bienvenida por un personal amable y relajado. Me explicaron claramente cuando la cocina cerrada y donde nos podíamos sentar. Cortés personal, y el personal del bar. caliente, bien cocinada y comida presentada, obviamente con buena calidad ingredieints. Buena selección de menú y un precio muy razonable también

A local pub which has a number of B&B rooms in an adjacent annex. Rooms fairly priced (Includes a brilliant breakfast). Comfortable and warm with magnificent sized beds. Only critisism is that the shower lacked water pressure - more of a dribble than a spray.

Good lasagne & choice of beer. Friendly atmosphere and comfortable settees to sit on. We visited on a Monday night when it wasn't busy but can imagine it being pretty full at weekends.

This is a great pup just down the road from Anstey Hall We ate here while stay at the hall good quality food a real nice selection of local beers good service and great atmosphere would have no problem returning.

Mi esposa y yo estuvimos en para una bebida tranquila cuando visite Cambridge. El pub se pone de vuelta en la Iglesia de la calle Trumpington carril de alta. Es un encantador estilo Georgian inn con ventanales y asientos en la ventana incluso circular para...

Fuimos para una comida después de visitar el hospital Addenbrookes. Encantador pub antiguo y buen servicio. Bistec era maravilloso, frescos y suculentos.

Servicio de Reserva de última hora, pero no un elemento adicional. Excepcional! Ve, te encantará! Las habitaciones son muy cómodas, el personal es de diamantes. Como una persona necesitada me arregle. Lo suficientemente pequeño para que yo supongo. Volveré. Gracias.

El servicio era bueno, la camarera muy servicial, el chef era lo suficientemente bueno para alojarse en más de su tiempo para dar el almuerzo después de haber viajado desde Escocia, muy impresionado!

Very good Sunday Lunches Complimentary soup, followed by choice of 2 meats from carvery, which sometimes includes lamb.Help yourself to a large choice of vegetables all for under a tenner for adults.It is best to go early, as gets busy and before the choice of meats becomes limited. A great old fashioned village pub on the outskirts of Cambridge, free parking, good ales and also accommodation if required.Worth the visit, regardless of what day it is, as restaurant open daily.

Excellent food in a lovely friendly pub. Free parking and only a ten minute bus ride to the City Centre.

we came here for a sunday carvery something we have enjoyed many times before, all i can say is this time it was very dissapointing!! as apose to the usual selection of hand carved meats on the offering it was a dry un appetising bit of beef and some pre sliced pork that was tasteless and dry although it was already covered in gravy as if to try and rehydrate this sub standard meat. having been in the food and beverage industry for many years this was most likely prepared the day before and re heated or bought in frozen already pre sliced! never the less this is not of the usual carvery standards we have previously enjoyed! and as for the new portion control (as per the chef behind the buffet) of only allowing 2 roast potatoes per person well again dissapointing. i could go on about the saw dust like "stuffing" and the parsnips cut so small and thin these could of passed for cheap fries. All in all it is a huge shame that we wont be returning with our family or friends as this really WAS the best carvery around

Stayed overnight here for an event at Newmarket Racecourse in August 2015. There were 6 of us staying for lunch (only 4 of us staying overnight). The bar staff were friendly and helpful and service was fairly quick. However, the menu was limited and the restaurant didn't offer very many vegetarian options. When the food arrived, it was of average quality, but hey, we'd had a few drinks by then and were hungry, so we ate it.We arrived back at the 'hotel' around 11:00pm after a very grey and miserable day at the races to find that the bar was already closed and they couldn't offer us any drinks, (despite the fact that around 6 people were sitting at the bar drinking and chatting and not looking like they were going anywhere soon). The reason for not being able to serve drinks apparently is because they're not a hotel, only a B&B, and subject to licensing - this should have been made very clear on booking, but it wasn't. We were told (rather rudely) that we could buy a bottle of wine and take it to our room, but none of us wanted to sit around on the bed being sociable, so we called it a night. The rooms were dingy, cheaply decorated and very cold! Although the bathroom was clean, there was dust and cobwebs in the bedroom; certainly not worth the price paid. Of additional note is that this 'hotel' was advertised as being 'close to Newmarket Racecourse' - it's not!!! Our taxi took over half an hour to reach the course and cost a fortune, so please be aware of this.On a positive note, the breakfast was hot and delicious and the staff were very friendly and welcoming.Overall, I'd recommend avoiding this 'Inn' for anything other than a drink. We won't be returning.

My partner and i had dinner here last week.Carbonara and Lemon Tart for me my partner had burger and chips and then had another burger for pudding! Both enjoyed very much!

We called into this pub after booking just an hour beforehand when they warned us they had a big party in, so we made allowances. Service was pleasant and not too slow given that they also had to serve the big party. I chose cod and 'hand cut chips' which were actually McDonalds type frozen French fries as far as I could tell. Not the kind of chips I had hoped for with my fish, which was succulent. Decor was OK, ambience was OK - nothing special but adequate for our purpose.

We called in here whilst we were out walking and hoping we might get a Sunday lunch.What a lovely surprise! Real ales and a delicious carvery which included soup & roll and main course for just £9.95.Staff were all very pleasant and efficient and it was a lovely sunny day to sit it the light and airy conservatory.The only slight "comment" I have is that the lady serving the carvery hardly spoke to us. My husband asked her for a soup bowl and she didn't answer him,she came round from the counter, went to a cupboard and put some more bowls down.I don't think she was being rude, just that she didn't speak very good English.All in all a lovely lunch.

Where to begin? A small menu with many dishes sold out so the selection got smaller. The atmosphere was non-existant and it felt like our party was the only one there and for a Saturday evening that is telling (who did they sell the sold out dishes too?). Also very cold, with little evidence of the heating being on. I had a "special" from the menu, a chorizo burger which when appeared looked like the bun was a Big Mac wannabe. When I opened the bun to add sauce to the burger the burger fell apart and certainly didn't resemble any burger I'd ever had before. No taste of chorizo either and barely tasted meaty. We weren't asked if we'd like to have desert so we had to prompt the staff (it was supposed to be table service). When told what was available; "There's ice cream, and the chef has found a cake that he thinks might be carrot cake". "thinks.." Er, no thanks! Only one of our party had ice cream. Overall the service was OK but the food was poor, selection/menu was poor and atmosphere poor. If dining in Cambridge there must be somewhere better to eat. Avoid. One redeeming feature; the French fries were nice but these were only available as they'd sold out on wedges! Needless to say we won't be going again

We ate here on our first evening staying at the pub. The food was fine, and service was good, but it was pretty standard fare - nothing special. Prices were fair.

The menu was limited even before we were told they had no rump steak. As there was only a choice of rump or ribeye that didn't give us a great choice; ribeye or ribeye. Undeterred we finally managed to choose something we would all eat. Starters were actually ok but from then on, it went downhill.Our main course arrived and none of us (party of 4) finished our meals. Ribeye steak medium rare was lacking the medium part and a good vet would have brought it back to life. The steak, Guinness and mushroom pie had been seasoned with mace instead of pepper, it was over powering - I like a bit of pepper with my pie but not that much! 2 Lamb shanks were edible without any complaints, sadly the lumpy mash potato was just that - lumpy. The green beans were so stringy, they were totally inedible.Dessert was a choice of 4 dishes, 1 wasn't available and the other 3 didn't appeal, therefore I can't comment on the quality.Bearing in mind we ate on a Saturday evening, we were the only diners all night. That must tell you something.................... Guinness was excellent and well kept, so at least there is a plus point to visiting the pub. The cost was very reasonable.I must state that our table service was absolutely fine and I have no complaint with the guys - thank you.

We dined here with some friends some months ago and granted we were late arriving and they did keep some roast for us, which was very good of them, however, I do not think it made a difference to the quality whether is was 5 minutes old or an hour old as it simply was not good! I guess you get what you pay for!

We had 2 dinners here while staying in Cambridge, great menu to choose from including chefs specials each day. Staff were friendly and efficient, serves were quite large and all 4 of us enjoyed our meals, great selection of on tap beers. Large free car park.Would eat here again

Plenty of parking, pleasant waiters in restaurant, food piping hot. menu could be more flexible .I had the burger which was rather tasty and lovely chips. The staff were very quick with their service and engaged with each customer.

We were a bit dubious going here for dinner with the mixed reviews but was really pleasantly surprised. It was good quality pub food, freshly cooked and very tasty. The bartender was very friendly and attentive. Would definitely go there again.

I visited the Lord Byron for a mid-week lunch. It is a very typical English country pub with a few locals sitting around the bar putting the world to right. I tried the soup of the day then the pie of the day (beef and Stilton) and these were OK but not great. The portion size was very big and you would need to have quite some appetite to finish them off. For both dishes I found the seasoning of the food wanting...far too much salt in the cooking.
