Old Ticket Office in Cambridge

Stopped off here to get food. Very happy to report the pizza “pepperoni “ that I devoured was the best pizza I’ve had in years. Absolutely delicious and washed down with a couple of Sam Miguel’s. Comfortable warm surrounding and served by happy professional staff. Compliments to the chef. 👨‍🍳 🍕

Poor food..cold when bought to the table I complained but the member of staff just grinned and walked off ! Very expensive for a very poor quality meal Seemed to be frequented mostly by Irish Travellers who where very intimidating Never again !

1 star, 3 members of staff behind the bar, I was the only customer at the bar. They totally ignored me, waited about 5 minutes, still no acknowledgment. Walked out. TERRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE.

Nice pub great selection of beers and food was good too definitely need after long trip down south will definitely stop here again

Met up with some old friends had a fantastic evening. Ale selection was good but the quality of ale was amazing. Top marks to the person how looks after the beers. Will definitely be back

On the positive side - good range of cask ales. On the negative side however, two issues. Firstly, there’s a big screen TV. In my opinion, if you want to watch telly stay at home (although to be fair it was showing a sporting event - and we all know we’ve got to like sporting events now, don’t we?). Secondly, and far more importantly in my eyes, they discriminate against people who want or need to pay by cash (ie they won’t take it), which is why I’ve given it the lowest possible rating. If you don’t care about leaving an audit trail for ‘big brother’ everywhere you go then maybe you’ll enjoy it. If you’re a bit more discerning however, you’ll probably realise it’s best avoided. There are some great alternatives a few minutes walk away that are still within easy reach of the railway station.

This place has been a favourite for lunch meetups with friends but lately the menu has shrunk to pizzas, garlic bread and croissants. Nothing else. The burger and chips pic is therefore misleading. I wasn't hungry enough for a pizza so ordered garlic bread to be told they'd run out of garlic butter so couldn't fill my order. I went home and had lunch there instead.

Great little pub but they just don't seem to know how to maintain good real ale. As soon as they get a good one on, everyone drinks it, it runs out and then no decent ale. So, the staff just look at you and say what will you have now?! I won't have anything; I'll go somewhere that knows how to take care of their ale.

Great pub with good food drink choices and they played decent music, the staff were extremely friendly and helpful

£17.50 for a burnt fish and chips at a station pub. Nice. Beer selection is good and it's a quirky venue but blimey, at those prices there are much better places to eat.

After a day in London, we stopped off at the Ticket Office on the Friday before Christmas. We were immediately greeted by friendly staff. We ordered via the app. Both the food and the drinks were served quickly and with a smile.

We have visited her 3 times over the past few months and sadly, each time it seems to slip a further in to disrepair. This last visit was early evening and the outside was untidy and with tables of shouting people. Not a great start but we were planning on sitting inside. We went in and it instantly smelt stale, that old pub with sticky floors sort of smell, quite distinctive. We were in a rush so we ordered at the bar whilst others in the party found a table. There was only one table free so we took that. The tabletop was dirty and sticky and the seats were covered in stains. Not nice. We asked one of the barman to give the table a quick wipe who came over only wiping half the table with a bit of kitchen paper. We all sat down and then we noticed the fruit flies... everywhere. Another table freed up so we moved to that, same issue, sticky table and flies. Despite us wafting away flies (as were other people at their tables) the barman seemed pretty disinterested. We finished our drinks and left. Such a shame as this used to be a nice place. Very disappointing.

Dirty outside tables. Ashtrays full. Dirty patio area in general. Served beer that was warm with a glass that was so filthy I don't know how it wasn't spotted before being brought out. Used to be average this place but now dreadful. Will be using the Station Tavern in future.

Visited on a day of the train strikes so bar was perhaps quieter than usual. Ordered via the Citiclub app which was very easy and drinks arrived in just a few minutes. Did not order food.

I've had drinks here before and its been fine. Yesterday we decided to eat as well and it was well below par. Id seen others eating nachos here before and they looked great so we went for some as a sharing starter at £11. They looked good with plenty of guacamole, salsa and sour cream but had hardly any cheese on them and were cold. They weren't worth £11 and we only ate half. Our mains were also brought out at the same time despite specifically requesting the opposite hence they were taken away and probably kept warm before being returned 15 mins later. I had a korean chicken burger and chips (£13). The burger was probably the worst id ever had. There was hardly any chicken in it and was more batter and was very greasy and I actually felt unwell afterwards. Trying to find a positive, the chips were good and the service friendly! My partner had a three bean chilli (£13.5) and hers was nice. When our plates were collected we weren't asked how our meal despite the fact id left half of mine, else id have told the waiter, however, we needed to be somewhere hence we didn't have time to hang around. Given the other reviews I'm assuming we just got unlucky and hence probably would try it again, however, not in a hurry. I had overheard one of the waiters complaining that they were short staffed and maybe this explained our experience.

Good ale. Friendly staff and atmosphere. Perfect bar food. Very nice location. Recommended. Will definitely visit again.

Went for something to eat & drink on Friday night. It was packed out, but we'd booked a table so were able to sit and eat. Despite being very busy, the service was quick and we didn't wait long for food or drinks. The staff were brilliant - kept coming over to see if we wanted more food or drinks, and check we had everything we needed. Really helpful and so friendly. We had a few questions about the food and the cocktails - everything explained, nothing was too much trouble. Can't praise the staff enough, not only brilliant at what they do, but made us feel so welcome.

We stopped off at The Old Ticket Office on our mission to find a 0% draught beer in Cambridge. Whilst they didn’t have any, the lovely staff very kindly recommended another pub that would have some. We decided to stay and try one of the low alcohol beers that were on offer here and were very pleasantly surprised! The funky music complimented the rustic yet cosy decor. Spacious and trendy we enjoyed our visit here. Sadly, the disabled toilet was the only one available to be used for gents wishing to take a number 2! The disabled toilet was swamped with water, both on the floor and on the toilet seat. This is our only complaint. Would recommend this bar to anyone.

Visited last Wednesday eve with friends and ordered a couple of pints of Heineken. Tasted awful and was totally flat. Then we were told they were closing at 10 and was offered plastic cups to takeaway. All in all a bad evening there.

Fantastic traditional train station bar. All the original features. Great selection of beers, they have Paulaner, what more do u need. Well u need the most delicious hot chicken wings that I have had in some time accompanying your beer. Nice atmosphere. May come back...

Went into the ticket office a choice of 2 pubs in the area outside the station, i ordered a pint of lager and a full fat original Coke. I was then informed that it would be Coke zero but it tastes the same..... I said...

Visited yesterday for a soft drink and the staff were lovely. Decided to pop in for lunch today - what a contrast. Felt that we were a hindrance by choosing to eat there. Staff were more interested in their mates dropping in than customer care....

Sat outside, server was excellent. The drinks menu we were provided didn't have any wine listed which is a bit of an oversight. Only serving a snack menu currently, we opted for the meze to share. Menu stated it came with flat bread, we received...

We met here for a pre dinner drink in nearby restaurant. Very good safety procedures and a warm welcoming atmosphere. Superb variety of draught ales. Recommended

Great place. Great beer. But please, what’s with the refrigeration of this place. Please stop this madness. And to think you actually paid for the Air-con to be installed. No wonder everyone tries to find a place to sit outside. Turn it off!

Popped in for a couple of drinks before catching a train .Great welcome from a friendly welcoming guy who took us through COVID 19 guidelines and took our details .Draught beer well kept ( I like another pub we visited ) my husband had Beavertown...

Popped in here for drink as staying at station hotel, too tired to go back into town. Friendly pub with mixture regulars and commuters. Enjoying our drink served by friendly barman when saw and heard on news Bars Clubs restaurants and anywhere you go for...

You may have to look around for a couple of minutes for a table, but the food and service is excellent. You would think a burger is a burger, but the meat is really tasty and the chips are proper skin-on potato, hot, crispy outside...

We met friends living locally here for dinner - really handy to the Travel Lodge Central where we were staying. The staff were friendly and it was clearly a really popular bar. Our friends meals arrived and an hour or so later, we inquired about...

Great service, friendly staff who really care. Good food as well, and happy to amend menu as needed.

Nice place with a good selection of food and drink. Thanks to Jack and Elijah for the safe return of my black cardigan.

A Good Beer Guide 2020 pub so obviously a "travel to" venue, often from afar. How disappointing to be told it was closing early due to lack of patronage so time for one "drink and 15 minutes to drink it". You advertise your opening times...

Right next to the station, a bit outside the very center of the city one gets a nice selection of beers and the basic cuisine in quite nice surroundings. Rather big portions, mind you. Service is nice too.

Looks nice from the outside and atmospheric inside too. Service was below par and a bit too abrupt. Not a lot of tables so be prepared to share or stand.

Its so handy having a pub on the station so if you ever have time to kill before a train connection of journey stop by.hae a drink, the beers are excellent from low abv to your beavertowns. Also very handy to have the train times on a screen also.

A trip into Cambridge with Mrs B saw us in search of sustenance after fighting the hordes of shoppers, as we were heading home by train, somewhere near the station seemed to make sense, alas had we known what the fayre at the Old Ticket Office was like, a sandwich from M & S would have been better.We arrived just after the post office workers lunch break so it was not very busy, in fact after ordering there was nobody at the bar ordering apart from myself. Anyway, a peruse of the menu saw us both go for the lighter sandwich option – see we should have gone to M & S! 2 BLT’s and some chicken wings please. Earlier I alluded to how quiet it was, so one might have thought 2 sandwiches and some wings would be not the most taxing item to prepare, but no. It seems to get the bread that hard for the BLT – requires time, only having table knives to attempt to cut this in half was a challenge, steak knives would have served better, I think. Bread so hard that a warning to those with dentures should have been provided.But what about the chicken wings I hear you cry, “surely, they must have been okay?”, they may have been but it was impossible to taste. Now I went for the spicy option using brand of spicy sauce from a manufacturer I use myself at home, in order to marinade wings for a BBQ. Applying just enough to give the necessary kick, these were soaked in sauce, not so much a kick as a full-on beating. I would have been better just drinking the sauce direct from the bucket, I say bucket as the volume on my plate suggested they have gallons of the stuff to throw around.All in all enough to guarantee I shan’t be back there for any food, the staff were friendly enough and the pub itself is nicely done and a rather pleasing place to be in, however the poor food really let this down in my eyes and as Lord Sugar would say “You’re Fired!”.

We stopped here before getting a taxi home. It turned out to be a great idea. They have some interesting beers on tap. The food was excellent and really appreciated that they were not American portions, just the right size. The staff are very friendly and helpful and would put this down to leadership from the management. Will definitely be back even if it is just for the beer.

We popped into the Old Ticket Office, landlord, staff are polite, professional and attentive. We had two soft drinks and fish & chips. Very tasty. Would recommend venue and f&c;.

I needed a drink (my dads funeral this day) the train i took brought me to a stop in Cambridge.

Staff were very welcoming - we had an international team - beer was spot on. Food was excellent for the price. Did I mention the beer?

We had to wait for more than an hour for our connecting train, we left the station for a little wander. We popped into the pub for a drink and to connect to the WIFI. That day my young daughter and I had been for a day out to London, we had been shopping and she had got a new toy she was desperate to open. I jokingly asked if they had a screwdriver and they did! One happy little girl and one happy mummy complete with a very nice pint of elderflower beer.

Veldig bra fish and chips saftig fisk. Spurte om anbefaling av øl og sikk små prøver så jeg kunne smake før jeg bestillte. Prisen er nok noe høyere enn andre steder men mat og service gjør det vel verd.

The gin selection here is great, Portobello gin would my recommendation! The staff here are very friendly, especially Catherine & Matthew. Very refreshing to see people that enjoy what they do.

Have been to the OTO a few times now. Beer quality is consistently good, usually plenty of staff to keep service flowing. Well located, next to the train station. Outside seating until 10pm, which is fine for customers and residents. Bar food always looks good, although I have not tried it yet. Pices are a little high but then again, it's Cambridge.

Ideal if you are waiting for a train or just missed one! It is the old ticket office which has been restored. Lots of pictures of trains on the walls and old railway signs. An interesting place. Friendly staff. We did not eat here just some drinks. A convenient pub at the station.

Late arrival, super friendly staff that gave great advice on both food and beverages. Nice and quiet in the back for our small group. Had a great burger and the rest of the group had a similarly great fish and chips. A pleasant evening!

Six of us went in for lunch. Couple of our choices had run out, but the barman and manager were very apologetic and made suggestions of what to have instead. Food was good, pleaseant atmosphere, nice surroundings.

We had a beer and a burger here and were sorry we bothered. Well the beer was OK but the burger was soft and petty tasteless in a super soft brioche bun which didn't appeal to me at all. Overall the place looked like it could do with a good cleaning.

Went for a drink with the wife hot July night whilst waiting for train, went to sit outside, sorry we're closing outside now. If I'd known that I'd have bought a pint and sat outside at the bar next door!! As a result rubbish!! Also table forced to sit opposite inside as a result looked like they'd left most of their meals so you may want to swerve food too!

My second visit to this fairly new establishment, just for a few pints of the real ales on offer. Enjoyed watching the tourists come in and out, some not certain how to order stuff in a British pub! Friendly staff, reasonably priced (cheap for most of Cambridge) real ale, which was in good nick. Didn't try the food, but it certainly looked good and was very popular.

Great location and selection of stouts, friendly staff, cozy place. Situated right beside a train station, cannot be missed.

Arrivé tard à la gare, j'ai testé quelques endroits et celui-ci était un des seuls à servir si tard à manger. L'accueil était très agréable, les hamburgers très bons et l'ambiance agréable. Un bon pub typique anglais au bon sens du terme.

I stumbled across this place after my train was cancelled. The bar maid was very welcoming and offered tasters to accompany my aquired taste of beer and I couldn't have been more overwhelmed by the choice of beers! She made special measures to ensure I had the perfect pint! Telling me about the history of the building too, a big thank you to Rosheen and the rest of the staff at Old Ticket Office !! Will be visiting again soonly!

Would highly recommend going when Rebekah is on shift. Although it’s an interesting spelling of name, the service was incredible.

Always welcoming bar staff Bill and Becca our favs,great variety of beers and a nod to Jamie who really knows his stuff , feels right for a train station pub although not even a year old .

Having done a lot of walking this day my wife and I had dinner in Rockers (see review) then came here for a drink because it was near by. Friendly helpful staff with a pleasant ambiance BUT unfortunately it also has City of London/West End prices.

I've been popping into OTO for some months now, and things are only getting better. Yesterday I stopped for lunch, and had the Pork Belly with Black Pudding, came with apple compote, glazed carrots, and a crispy kale leaf.

This pub occupies the old ticket office of Cambridge Station. A great place to have a beer whilst waiting for the train. The pub serves well kept real ales. A good range of bar snacks and a full food menu.

Called into this pub waiting on a train and decided to have lunch. We both had the Old Ticket Office Burger, which was really tasty and not over expensive. The kitchen has a hotplate open hatch which is great to see in the kitchen, The bar has plenty of choice in drinks and the homemade scotch eggs and sausage rolls looked yummy. Staff where friendly and helpful. I will defiantly go back.

Great pub to wait for your train. Or miss your train. Small but comfortable with great scotch eggs. Seemed to get busy by the evening.

We took the trouble to book and when we arrived a neighbouring table had moved so close to our's that we actually couldn't get our legs under the table so suggest not enough room for the type of seating in that area. We were quickly moved to another small table and moved again to a larger table when it became available. The food took exactly an hour to come and frankly while it was ok it was nothing special with the exception of the Conductors lunch which was huge, tasty and reasonably priced for what it was. The building had been done up well and attractively furnished but they need more staff in the kitchen to speed things up and to sort the seating.

Went a for a Friday work lunch, and the place was busy. Not as packed as the previous evening when I booked though, but both still good signs.

Visited with friends for a drink and something to eat. The drinks were good but our chicken burgers were black on the outside and beef burger was burnt and dry. No one came to check back on our mains to see if we were satisfied.

Came here with some friends for a couple of beers and a bite to eat, whilst they had a fair selection of beer on offer and a cracking cider - which is something I will definately be going back for again - the food was very poor! We had a sharing platter which was ok - they had run out of some of the key components such as sausage rolls so these were replaced with alternatives - the cheese roll was tasty but the scotch egg was dry and had no real flavour to it. We then each ordered burgers, I had the chicken burger (as did 3 of my freinds) and although they came out looking good, all 3 were completely overcooked and all we could taste was burnt food, I had to leave half of mine. Another of my friends had the beef burger and again it came out burnt. Unfortuantely there was no check back and we were not asked how our food was when the plates were cleared so no oportunity for us to advise on the poor quality of the food served. Note this is no reflection on the staff as they were all really welcoming and friendly just perhaps could do with implementing a check back system or something to give people the opportunity to voice any issues they may have? Its a real shame as the place itself was lovely and quirky and definately somewhere I would recommend for a drink but I think for food you would be better off spending your money either trying one of the other restaurants nearby or even the Sainsbury's across the road for a sandwich! 3 stars given purely for the drinks, atmosphere, staff and quirkiness of the place, if I could rate the food on it's own merits I would be loathed to give it a 1...

Been a couple of times, a good place with a nice atmosphere and a great selection of beers! Can get very busy at times but service is generally pretty quick and efficient.

Reading the other reviews, people need to manage their expectations. It's a bar. Next door to the station. Which is convenient. I liked the choice of guest beers - the bar tender was happy to let me taste a range of them because I couldn't make up my mind. The place was convenient to the station and the staff friendly. I live in Cambridge so would I come here to eat? No, given the choice on offer 10 minutes walk down the road. But I WOULD go back for a drink.

We visited The Old Ticket Office whilst visiting friends in Cambridge. Initially the pub looked welcoming enough, though no one greeted us when it was obvious we’d booked a table at the front which was a little odd. Also one of the staff members was pulling down the wooden sliders from the beer board on the wall and literally dropping them on the floor with a loud ‘crash’ each time.

I've never sent anything back before in my life but here I had no choice. My eggs florentine was cold, the poached eggs were essentially hard boiled and the hollandaise was split. The waitress asked if I wanted another made or something else and was sincerely apologetic but I really didn't want to risk it. Everyone elses poached eggs were rock hard too and if you can't tell when hollandaise has split you shouldn't be a chef. I wouldn't have minded so much (or bothered with this review) if the first waitress had left it there but another woman (who was happy to serve people pints at 11.30 but not a burger as one of our party wanted) came back over and caused a bit of a scene trying to convince me to order again which just made everything awkward. This place looks nice but they need to work on the service and the food.

Staying nearby I visited on a regular basis. Although the menu does not change Mattie, the chef, was more than willing to accomodate any special requests. Despite being busy the staff are friendly and helpful. It is a pity there are not a few more quieter tables!

OTO was recommended by a local. However we were disappointed by the size of the meal for the price you pay. The meal was not filling. The staff were friendly and helpful. They are not an issue. In fact - they make up for the disappointment. But paying 10+GBP for a burger that leaves you feeling like you had a slider is disappointing.

Went with colleagues from work as it is right by the railway station and close by for us.

On a recent weekend trip to Cambridge with friends, we stayed near the Old Ticket Office, and took shelter from the rain on the first night. It was so enjoyable, we returned the second night also. Good choice of real ale, a nice cloudy apple cider too. Lovely cosy vibe, warm and comfortable. Friendly bar staff. People came and went, in between train journeys, but we sat and enjoyed a few hours here. The second night we sampled the snacks at the bar, thanks to the lovely girl who was so hospitable, they were great. If we return to Cambridge we will return here.

We had heard good reviews about the old ticket office locally so we decided to give it ago,it has a large selection of beers and real ales and 26 gins. The food is home made and is reasonably priced.(when you consider a Cornish pasty on the station cost £5!!!) The historical features have been well kept with the walls featuring period photos and prints.

I really like this place. They've really made an effort with the decor and kept alot of original features.

This is an extremely well situated pub in an old railway building at Cambridge Railway Station, accessible from the outside public area but not directly from within the station.

When everything around was already not serving food, we found a hot delicious meal inside. The space is very nice, old looking but clean and eye pleasing. The staff was very helpful and friendly. The food was hot and tasty! Give it a try, you'll love it as much as I did!

Great use of an unused part of the station.

Really quite a nice selection of beers here, all explained on the chalkboard overhead. The benches and other seats can move around well to let you arrange whatever size group of friends you want. The staff are mostly disengaged, but they do their jobs, and some of them are even quite friendly.

Again I will give this place a 5* ... please don't let others "mishaps" reviews taint your opinion... this is now my 5TH visit ..! Other visit were for pleasure, this last one for business colleges ( so this visit was the most important!!) ... and again I was not disappointed? But more confused by other negative reviews that have been left recently that I have read ?!?? We were all welcomed by again the bubbly Janine (who's service is always next to none!) and then came along Jamie !! We were all blown away with his knowledge of his beers on tap...(such a rare sight for a young man to be so passionate but so refreshing)!! Food was amazing.!! (believe the bar snacks are only A tease on the full delights of their main dishes!!) I intend to work my way throu that menu!! The chef is next to none ! (Who I believe tonight for us was "Matty" ) ...this team have got this and work together effortlessly??? ..so confused on the "negative" staff reviews..maybe I miss the bad ones? Nether the less we all will be back!! Thanks again ! Nick

The staff here are just rude - waited 10 minutes to be served in an empty bar while three of them just chatted to eachother in plain sight. Eventually one wandered over said 'what do you want' and then wordlessly and expressionlessly poured the drinks, plopped them on the bar and returned to chatting to the other staff.

This is located to the left of the Station hall (right if you are conning out of the Station). Good size bar and the character of the OTO, has been in the most part kept, with old timetables etc. Very well laid out, toilets up a tight spiral staircase or one on the ground floor if you have mobility issues. A good selection of craft beers are available, best to ask if you are on a tight budget as they rise up to over £6.50 a pint. We had lunch, Coronation Chicken in a roll, which was filling, tasty and reasonably priced. My wife had the Pulled Pork sandwich option which also hit the spot. We shared chips, again tasty well cooked and hot. The service was good (mid afternoon Friday) and the all round experience was a cut above the other Bar options nearby. If you are going to yet one of the many Craft beer options just check the price before ordering.

Look ok from the outside. Get to the bar, staff standing there nibbling their finger nails, VERY odd. No, good afternoon, or welcome to the old ticket office, just a grunt. Looked like they would rather be elsewhere. AVOID.

Came for lunch service was slow which was rather frustrating as I didn't have the time to wait so long so I was not happy food was average

My wife and I were looking for a quick breakfast and decided to try Old Ticket Office. As the name suggests it is located right next to the main line station and is surrounded by more restaurants than you can shake a stick at.

The staff where rude and looked like they did not want to be their and inside it was really small and the green interior made me feel trapped in a small box. I often come to Cambridge at least once a month for work and after trying the old ticket office I defiantly would not recommend it and I will be going back to my normal spot at the Station Tavern where the service and most of the staff are amazing. I don't often wright reviews but if I get the time I do like to give feedback. Unfortunately I will be giving the Old Ticket office a 1 star I really hope you can look at this not as a bad review but an eye opening so that you can progress as a pub.

I shared a lunch here with some colleagues and had to admit I was sceptical before we went in as I'd had a couple of over priced drinks here once before.

Very nice Tuesday evening in oto, with couple of pints good beer we had some bar snacks was very delicious, and one staff member name Janine,was very kind and helpful. Definitely will visit again 🙂

Took my son here for pre cinema Birthday meal..after reading the reviews we were not disappointed..!! For a Friday night the place was busy but with the most amazing atmosphere the staff all being upbeat and not phased/stressed clearly enjoying their work (a beautiful building also! ) Janine our waitress for the evening made us feel welcome and made sure everything was kept to timing for our viewing at the cinema (and also I might add she had a few "parties in at the same time as us) aswell making sure the the rest of the floor was clean, tidy and "empty glasses" free first impressions were looking good ...then the food was next to none .!! From the "califower wings" to the mouth watering steak... followed by yummy cookies and ice cream and a twist on Tom cocktail this whole experience was a fine dining one at the least but in the most relaxed but lively atmosphere!! Well done Ben (I believe I heard who was the manager ) and the rest of this lovely team!! Keep doing what you do!! (Especially Janine! )

We had a wait for our train so pop in for drink but in ended up we had an early dinner. Good menu choices and food far better than expected we had a veggie and meat burgers. Real find great pleasant atmosphere, good food and drink

Great location, literally part of the train station.

Came here with a group of 8 and they managed to seat us fairly easily, though worth noting it is not a big place. Staff were friendly. The food was good and well priced. They also have a wide range of beers and ciders which is decent.

We visited for dinner and drinks with friends. The food was great and reasonably priced. Drinks were a little on the expensive side, but we liked that they had a good range of nonalcoholic drinks, including alcohol-free beer on tap. Nice refurbishment of the building.

We had been to the Botanic Gardens and we're looking for a nice place for lunch as the rain had got much worse. We came across this place and were very impressed with the decor and friendly staff. Great pint of OTO ipa and a great lunch too. Very impressed

On the recommendation of our freight train driving friend, we met up at this pub to spend an enjoyable evening at the Old Ticket Office. In reality the building used to house admin offices, as my learned train enthusiast informed me! The bar was busy all night, but we had reserved a table in a quieter spot. Much appreciated was the table service we received from Alice, where nothing was too much trouble. She even brought drink orders to the table, so that we could avoid the long queues.

A really nice pub with good food and drink selection. Pleasant atmosphere and attentive staff. I had fish and chips which was great and my companion had a very delicious looking burger. Reasonably priced food too.

I'm not the one for writing reviews usually but this place truly deserves one..! After my train being delayed and the lovely warm weather I spotted this place through a platform window and the tempting selection (which is vast..!) of ales from local and afar.. Jeanine (hope I spelt it right!!) was very patient and very helpful on selecting my New love of an ale called "Fat Sprat" (I believe). After my first pint and my train still delayed the need for a snack was in order to accompany my cheeky second pint..Jeanine in full swing then tempted me to a homemade sausage roll..OMG what a delight complete with "cracking sprinkles" on top and pickle on the side..died and gone to heaven..!

Friendly and attentive staff on a busy Saturday night. Good choice of mocktails and cocktails which were nicely presented and made well. Not tried the food yet but will visit again. Interior well presented but made use of the seating area outside as it was such a lovely evening

Nell and Alice took care of us so well and the food is delicious! We live just across the road and this place is turning into our local. Make sure you try their veggie burger! Highly recommended! Thanks!

We’re local to this pub and had a great time tonight at dinner.. Alice helped us out & made sure we were taken care of. Try the veggie burger !

Ignore the other bad reviews on here. The OTO is fab. AND it's a cool place to take a break from the (rare) English heat.
