It's a good solid pub, with a definite focus on rugby. Good beers; food well prepared. Attentive staff. Good steak & Guinness pie; good fish & chips.

We did a quiz at the Alma tonight. Once most people had left, the manager/ quiz master started screaming at his young female employees. Pint in hand swearing at his bar staff about where the glasses were stacked. Horrible man, will not be returning.

Came for a pub quiz, in general nice quiz and evening. Once everyone had left myself and my team stayed to finish our drinks and the quiz master, possibly the owner, shouted at the bar staff because they stacked glasses incorrectly. Not a very pleasant thing to hear especially after good service all night by the bar staff. Left a very sour taste, not impressed in the slightest by that sort of behaviour.

It’s been about 5 yrs since we were at this pub, having moved. Not a patch on how we remember it. Please review your description of prawn cocktail, poor excuse. We had people flocking around us in the bar while we were trying to eat, and some nasty, out of place machine, established in place of what was a nice long bench with tables. Long lost the country charm in the garden, it appears that the whole place has been jammed full of tables and chairs. No thanks!

Nice pub. It became a regular when I was working in Cambridge this summer. It's a great place to watch sport (excellent atmosphere) but also on quieter nights you can play board games, cards, darts, and it's basically a classic pub. Nice staff and good beer with a nice selection of snacks but also cooked pub grub. What more could you want! Highly recommend it.

Bit thrown by the failure of the link from TA to the pub website but easily found through a search. This place is a trad pub, nothing prissy or over egged. Friendly staff, efficient service, affable, sometimes bustling punters, good pub food and all the necessary critical or significant sport on easily visible TVs. Not on our night but we were assured there is music regularly in varying forms and unless we misunderstood also some quizzing. Pleased to recommend as a place to relax and live a few hours.

Imagine serving this beer and refusing to give a repour even after I asked politely. Do you expect someone to pay for this? No where else in the country would someone be refused a repour for this. Secondly, the female staff at the bar is extremely unprofessional. It's normal to have your family patronise the place you're working ig but having your kid sit and crawl on the bar table and almost knocking over a customer's drink is ridiculous. Are customers also supposed to put up with that? There's nothing wrong if your kid was sitting down like everyone else but frankly to see a kid crawling up and down my table is insane. Please have some standards set up for this pub and train your staff how to pour a pint. If mistakes happen (cuz everyone can pour a bad pint) then customers should be entitled a repour. I asked twice was told it'll be done and then no one bothered. This is so poor . One of the worse pub experiences.

Decepção! Depois de comprar no mercado de natal, em York, uma torta tradicional de mashroom que estava deliciosa, como também no Covered Market em Oxford, resolvi virar fã de pie. Procurei na internet e achei quatro recomendações. Como esse era o mais próximo, resolvi aproveitar. O recheio tava com pouco sabor, no qual se sentia um gosto de frango mal cozido, mashroom sem gosto e o molho ralo.

The only let down is we ordered the (decently portioned) gluten free chips for my coeliac friend, they were not gluten free as she was quite ill the next morning. I'm not sure if it was cross contamination or what but something to take into account. We will be back

If there was a place anywhere in the world you would want to just drop in on, this is it. Especially if you are a rugby union fan. The gammon, egg and chips were amazing. Value for money in Cambridge, top of the list.

Possibly the worst burger I have ever had in my life. For £13, I received a limp, well done beef patty in between thin dry ciabatta with a Tesco mixed leaf salad on the side, accompanied by cold raw chips. Utterly useless, borderline inedible, definitely one to avoid.

Visited here on a Sunday evening and it wasn't particularly busy. The food was very nice and a substantial meal. What let this place down was the service, the guy behind the bar was very rude and snapped at me when I went to buy a drink when he deemed me to be too quick to put my card to the card machine "have you not got any patience". He was also very rude to my friend when he asked if he could pay with cash. All in all it ruined what would have been a nice evening.

I feel like the 2 stars is quite harsh because overall, we didn't mind visiting The Alma, the drinks were good, bar staff were very friendly and helpful, however this is where the good times stop. Whoever the quiz master is on a Thursday night, we have the feeling he might be the owner or manager but won't ever find out, is rude, unhelpful and a terrible host all round. The quiz was fun when we eventually were allowed to play after the quiz master basically tried to keep it to locals and his friends so that he didn't have to do too much work but I wouldn't recommended going here for the quiz as the prizes were also pretty poor unless you win the whole thing.

We stayed in a hotel around the corner and needed somewhere local to eat. We called the ALMA and they said they had free tables but as they dont take bookings and only do table service we needed to arrive early. We took their advice and went to the pub and were lucky enough to get a good table. The place was full at 5 pm on a Friday. The staff who provided table service were fantastic, really attentive and looking out for tables that needed service. they were all friendly and really looked after us. I had rump steak and it was very tender and tasty and reasonably priced. The beer was very good also.

Don’t often leave reviews but had lovely time here tonight. Birthday celebration. Calamari was best we’ve had, shawarma, chicken burger and watermelon salad really tasty. Puddings lovely too. Our waitress was really sweet (blond hair yellow top) so sorry, didn’t get her name. Think she was new but was really patient with my elderly mum who was faffing a lot, thank you!
