Sir Isaac Newton in Cambridge - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

The name is attractive but the rest is normal pub.

Fantastic pub. Plenty of sport, pool table and outside seating. Staff are great and the pub quiz on a Sunday looks fun

Good for football + excellent Guinness

One of best pubs in Cambridge. Food is homemade and tasty, good beers, really friendly staff and an excellent vibe here. Highly recommend. Also show matches on big days!

We went with my family to have beer and it was really cool. We even played Jenga while we were drinking and eating french fries 🍟.

Can't visit Cambridge and skip the pub named after our beloved scientist Newton!

Excellent pub, traditional of the area. Very good attention and excellent service/food

A very well run neighborhood pub.

This must be one of the best Sunday roasts in Cambridge for £14😁 Superb offering of Beef, Pork, Lamb, Chicken and Vegan all served with a tasty section of vegetables, roast potatoes, leaks, swede, cauliflower, carrots, broccoli, cabbage and gravy of course 👍

Was told previously children were allowed to be in the pub till 9pm the same as all pubs due to license which is fine. I have been in many times with my family to watch football games with no comments made Went in to watch a football game but this time was told children weren’t allowed in after 7:30pm It was 8pm at this point. The man through a hissy fit when challenged about this stormed up and down saying I’ll let you this once but not again also made a comment about “children shouldn’t be in at pub st this time” we walked out won’t be going there again.

The bar is way too low please raise it. Edit: The bar hasn't been raised but does seem quite girthy raising review to 3*

This review has been written after few visits: as usual it is based on food quality, staff attitude, atmosphere and local-standard value for money. Good food and an a good selection of beers welcome you in this pub. The atmosphere inside is also good and it’s a good choice for those who likes to see sports on TV. Definetly a place to visit in Cambridge. Over the last twenty years I have been travelling for business (and not) reason and I have discovered a lot about the world of catering.

Nice mixture of locals and students, not overly pretentious either . Nice beers and Football on the TVs on match days, friendly staff.

Great pub - they played the Arsenal Brentford game when no other pub would.

Lovely Lovely food here Just had a delicious chilli 🌶 nice

The staff here are absolutely amazing. Very kind and attentive - top class pub service. The atmosphere is very lively and jolly, although I did come at a busy time so perhaps that might have influenced my experience.

Very friendly pub, nice interior and helpful staff. A few different areas so sit/drink/eat in. Sunday eve quiz was fun.

Fantastic food. I've been there 3 times now and had the home made pies everytime. I can honestly say they are the best pies I've ever had. Short crust base with puff pastry top and when you cut into them the filling and gravey just ouses out which is so tasty

Objectively good food and an assorted amount of beers on tap. Clearly a locals spot with ample seating on busy nights. Weekdays the turnout is small, would consider hitting the place Friday through Sunday as it looks busy from the outside. Would be a good spot to watch a football game with the crew.

I've been quizzing and eating at the Isaac Newton for 15 years. The food is great home cooked style pub fayre and the Sunday roast is terrific. The quiz is free to enter and a good standard of questions. The atmosphere is friendly with a good mix of students and locals of all ages. Dick is a great host. I wish a lot more pubs in Cambridge were like this. Sorry it's taken me so long to write a well deserved review.

A hiddeen gem up castle hill Food and drinks excellent Very friendly place..staff very helpful The menue was vast and all dishes were pretty cheap One of the best evenings ive had lately.

Great space with excellent service and delicious garlic bread - can't speak to the rest of the menu but believe me when I say that was some fine garlic bread. Came for the pub quiz which was one of my favorites so far in Cambridge. Good pacing, good volume and good crowd. Can't speak to much else I'm afraid but will be returning.

We went with my BF for a drink and it was very lovely and chilled place, it was not too busy and plenty of space, we played pool, £1 for a game and they had some of our favourite beers which was great. The bar staff very friendly. There is also toilets on ground floor and seating area outside.

Good pub with darts and pool table

Reasonable drink prices. Clean. Dart board. Child friendly. All good.

It's a really nice place and well decorated! Staff was friendly and welcoming when we arrived 👍 The Sunday roast of lamb & beef was 🥰 💞 perfectly cooked, the gravy is lovely, and all the sides are well prepared as well 😋 It's a popular place with the locals

We really enjoyed our time in there. They do not put music so outloud and I appreciate that. Everyone should try this pub. I can say it is one of my favorites.

I had one of the pies ,proper mash,veg and flavours with gravy were next level , so glad I walked in the rain to grab some food ,awsome ,keep it up 👍

Le bar diffuse des événements sportifs. Plusieurs écrans sont disposés dans la salle, mais ils ne sont pas tous de bonne qualité. Plats peu travaillés: burger végétarien simple et salade au poulet en petite quantité. Pinte à 6£

Nice place for a drink. Food smelled great, must try it next time.

Maybe I'd come in on restocking day, but they were out of most ciders.

Lovely atmosphere, fresh coffee and the food looked great (we didn't eat as we were just passing through)

Good food, good choice of ales, friendly staff

Nice local pub just outside of the town Center rush.

Lovely pub, no lound music and good food.

Great service and friendly staff. Was nice to sit outside with a drink. The food was great

Decent enough for a Greene King pub

Cozy place. Owners are really nice people

I was here last night for the live music and it was fantastic! Great atmosphere and great food, will definitely be coming back!

WOW 🤩 Walked in and all was quiet and empty but do yourself a favour the homemade Steak, Guinness and Stilton pie…. what can I say FABULOUS definitely recommend Staff were friendly and the place is a hidden gem in Cambridge

Was here and it was filthy, cups dirty, spider webs everywhere. I'm sorry but I do t recommend

ร้านนี้แนะนำเลยคะ ถ้ามา Cambridge ต้องแวะมานั่งชิวไป จะมีเด็กๆ มานั่งอ่านหนังสือ ติวหนังสือในร้านแบบนี้ น่าจะเห็นได้โดยทั่วไป...

Brilliant quiz! And lovely landlord 😀

Local pub. Relaxed atmosphere, friendly service and always great for watching sports.

Geat atmosphere, good food, and free pool on Mondays, what more does one need?

Great place, quirky staff and interesting nights Free pool on Monday was a plus!

I love they way they commemorated the King's Coronation. Very funny and original. We came with a baby in a buggy. The staff were very accommodating and friendly and the prices were good!

Average pub. The bar 'staff' were dressed like they'd just come in off the street and tried to serve pints with oversized heads to make profit. Advertised as a sports pub, but all the main TVs are at funny angles and not great views. Otherwise, it's ok and would go back occasionally.

Quiet place, but has a pool table Drinks: 7/10 Atmosphere: 5/10 Prices: 7/10

The worst coffee I think I've ever had.

Friendly staff, nice choice of drinks, and great place to play pool. Very typical British pub, would recommend!

Lovely staff and the pet dog is extremely friendly.

I went here for a wedding reception and it was a lovely experience. The staff were friendly and the food was amazing.

The waitress are rude and mean.

Good food, good wine, pleasant staff, not expensive. Dog friendly indoors, tasty wine and lovely steak pies with Stilton and Guiness. Excellent service all round by friendly, efficient staff. We'll keep going there.

Nice bar fittings and lounge area, with a nearby car-park.

Pleasant pub, more reasonable beer prices than the city centre. Comfortable but not cosy. Free WiFi. Lack of parking is a problem.

Nice pub. Live sport pool table and usually some nice ales. Staff friendly. Clientele seem mostly student.

Good service at the bar, plenty of seating to watch the football

Nice, good atmosphere, the beer with right temperature.

Nice pub with really nice food. Friendly staff pkus sports on TV

Nice pub, independent from the Greene King group now but a lovely menu recommend the chilli con carni not to spicey and garlic bread was an amazing taste. Lovely service by the lady at the bar would definitely eat there again

Pretty comfortable, not too busy and friendly staff. Nevertheless, it felt quite empty and looks a bit old. Good selection of draught beer and good food but very few options

Good food and reasonably priced. Venue lacked a little atmosphere as just had televisions playing rather than any music. Will return.

Great pub for sport, nice friendly atmosphere. Food on the pricier side.

Publican was very nice and the grub was tasty

Good for a quick pint and watching sports

Limited availability. Only had two pies left at 0730. Food was Hot! 👍 Beer was cold.

Nice enough place, landlady? wonderfully friendly Looks dated now and food is over priced.

Excellent steak and ale pie! Nice vibe.

Great pub, great beer, live music!

Fantastic bar, sports tv good food and atmosphere great

Standard city pub. Not changed much in 25 years.

I don’t even know where to start… The place is beautiful, decorated with taste, I also like how the furniture wasn’t matching, but was vintage and matched the atmosphere. The food was good, however I ordered Mushrooms and Prawns tagliatelle and I can say that either the pasta stuck to the pan or wasn’t cooked properly, because some of it was hard/crispy. And the food is definitely overpriced.

Nice staff, never too busy. They have some games you could play and a good bar

Great customer service.. would defo visit again

This place has a nice interior and a great selection of beer. Unfortunately the food is not very good - we ordered Newton's burgers for about £13 but the taste was too far from our expectations. I can say the £3.5 McDonald's burger is way better!

Well placed pub half way up/down hill from city centre if walking of course and a Green King one at that in our case uphill and a deserved refreshment to quench thirst from a day in the city walking in the sun staff very friendly

We have had 2 work meals here recently. A leaving do with the standard menu and a Xmas meal. Both times the food was excellent and the staff very friendly. Highly recommended

Imperdible el plato estrella de UK en un Pub histórico que te explotan los sabores en tu boca y te lleva a recordar lo que tan eximio científico aportó al conocimiento .

We had a fabulous Sunday lunch here today, generous portions and freshly cooked vegetables, highly recommended.

Nice place but i received a drink with soap and detergent flavor, the people in charged says i wont get you a free drink, have a glass and change it. I bought another one and as you can see it has no detergent. Dont want anything free, just what i payed for…

Great place to have drinks and gatherings with friends. I'm usually using the second floor on Friday evenings, and it feels very nice. Also the staff attention is very nice and prices and food quality is alright.

Tasty food, Friendly atmosphere and nice decorations.

Have the best evening ever-great food and customer service. Thank you Isaac Newton ! Highly recommend on cold autumnal evening.

One for the best pubs for food and ambiance in Cambridge. And the pool table and the different spaces makes it cosy while still spacious.

Super pub. Great selection and great staff. It is very conveniently located next to the Castle Hill carpark and a good place for a relax after climbing a deceptively long hill. 😉

The staff was really friendly. We came there to watch the F1 race, and they turned the volume up for us. I have celiac disease and when I asked if the chunky chips are gluten free, the worker informed me how the oil hasn't been used yet, so it should be safe. So I really liked that they had a clue about gluten. The cider options are wide and some are really good. I really enjoyed my stay here.

Just north of the City centre. Smart pub and a bit quieter than the ones in the centre. Good beer and tastefully fitted out.

Great service, delicious food, huge portions. Felt nice and Covid safe as it's spacious and clean.

Nice pub to watch football in comfy seating areas decent ales

6x and an ipa on tap, pool table but it's £1 per game. Does food but didn't eat here. Friendly staff and has sports on telly. Good pub for a trek into town

Best food and drink in Cambridge

Nice pub, decently priced drinks as well

This is a Greene King in name only, they don't accept vouchers, promotions or use the app. It cost £12.50 for a roast and £3.50 for a diet coke. There was a generous portion of beef, but I wouldn't order it again. The food came out quickly, but the vegetables were undercooked for my liking, and strangely only one floret of broccoli and cauliflower. The gravy was also too thin and tangy for my taste and I left feeling hungry. The Wi-Fi kept turning on and off as well.

Watched the rugby in this little treasure. Staff were very welcoming, pool table and darts, what more would you need from a pub. 5 star.

Gravity burger is unreal. Crispy chippies...back on the road again!

I have been to the Sir Isaac Newton to watch the Euro 2020 match Italy Vs Austria. The pub is huge (two floors) and has space with tables outside as well. There is also a room with a billiard table. I have had one of their pies (steak and blue stilton cheese) and it turned out to be delicious (one of the best I have had so far in Cambridge). They have a good variety of beers (ales and draughts). My friends have been impressed by the quality of food too. The pies are a bit more expensive than in other places I have been but their flavour justifies the price. Finally, the staff has been gentle, polite and available. So if you are near the city centre and want to have good food and beer, this is the place you should visit.

nice pub for football but didn’t get a replacement when I didn’t like my gravity burger which was a shame

Great food, drinks and staff. Recommend
