The Cambridge Brew House in Cambridge

Thank you to adam who made our experience amazing the food was unreal and the service impeccable also the drinks were so so good

Nice ambience. Good food. Adam serves nicely. We ate some sharers and it was the perfect amount of food. Adam was there to ask if everything was ok during the whole meal. Great spot to go and eat with your friends.

The team at Cambridge Brew House are absolutely fantastic. 6 of us arrived on Saturday lunch time to watch the footy and we were greeted at the door with a big smile and a very friendly welcome. They quickly found us a space on some tables that were reserved for later that evening. We didn’t plan on eating but after seeing some of the lovely food coming out of the kitchen, we decided to order some chips/starter meals, which came out swiftly and were very tasty! The rest of our party were due to meet us for drinks and so another 6 people arrived and again the team were super quick to accommodate - some of this party again ordered food and considering we hadn’t pre-booked, I was surprised at the swift turnaround for some delicious meals. The whole time we were there the team looked after us and made us feel welcome, especially Harry, Adam and Izzie. I’ve always enjoyed coming to Cambridge Brew House and Saturday’s experience has just cemented it as one of the best in the city.

Worst Stout I've ever had, (out of Guinness) Bitter wasn't any better, would have rather drunk straight vodka my wife enjoyed her cider

We had our wedding celebration at the venue in the larger private room and they were FANTASTIC. Can not rate them highly enough. We were able to use their projector and sound system to play our playlists and their outdoor section allowed for a lovely change of pace. They were friendly, eager to help, and provided a fantastic buffet.

A great little pub. Fine ales too

What a lovely pub with a nice atmosphere. We had the Sunday lunch which was amazing. Nice cocktail menu too. The staff were all so friendly. Look forward to my next visit

My main goal was to find somewhere to watch the F1 race and have a beer. Mission accomplished!

A lazy pint after a refreshing walk.

Nice place but disappointed by the beers i tried. I'm sure there's something here for lots of people but not great for me.

Went with a group of friends for wings Wednesday. The unlimited wings is a great concept however only managed 15 wings in the allocated time given Also ordered chips and coleslaw as a side dish

Nice place but disappointed by the beers i tried. I'm sure there's something here for lots of people but not great for me.

We tried a couple of the local brews. We loved the wheat beer option, as it didn't have the sour craft-y taste. Very much reminiscent of a proper German Weissbier. Oh! And the staff was lovely and friendly!

Fantastic venue great choice of food and drinks, awesome staff

I only went for drinks. There were a few gluten free options available on the tap which is nice to see.

Bit noisy and overpriced but otherwise o.k.

Ok but expensive....... not a real choice of beers.... they obviously concentrate on selling their own expensive products ki

We hired out the Locker Room for a gathering earlier this month, and had a great experience! Staff, both when booking and on the night, were very friendly and happy to help! In particular, thanks to Serena for answering all our questions beforehand and to Harry for looking after us so well on the night. We had a really great time. The room is a nice size with plenty of seating/tables but also open space. We opted not to have the upstairs bar staffed so visited the downstairs one to order, which worked well and despite having quite a small party for the room size, we managed to hit the minimum spend for the room without any issues. I had been before but only in the winter, this time it was summer and we were able to use the roof terrace which was a lovely addition in the warm weather! Nice range of drinks available to suit different tastes, good speakers for the music and it's great to have the projector screen to display some photos etc (you just need to bring along a laptop with a HDMI port). There are railings and space to hang decorations (I believe the only rules are no confetti and nothing that will damage the walls). We didn't have food but a few of our guests, including vegetarian ones, did order some food whilst there and enjoyed it. I'd definitely hire a room here again for future functions (in fact I'm already planning ahead for what we can do there next)! The only major improvement I'd like to see made would be the addition of step free access, as the two function rooms are both upstairs, and up a fairly small curved staircase at that. So do bear that in mind if any of your group has access needs. It's a massive shame that this lovely venue's function rooms aren't accessible for everyone.

Good for 🍺 , avoid ordering food Fish and chips were terrible, the coffee machine was not working

Great Atmosphere Friendly staff and great service Good range of beers

Visited on 29.7.24. for lunch. Excellent service and food. Nico, the owner, was very happy to let us sample several of their brews. Meal was excellent. Really pleased with our experience. Would thoroughly recommend this lovely pub. Many thanks. Iain and Julie.

£7 Great British Pounds for a pint of neck oil!! We are catching Dubai up with these prices in little old Cambridge, my word.

We had a party here on Thursday (no food just drink) it one of the private rooms . Harry and Louis couldn’t have been more helpful. Thank you !!

A good place to follow the European Championships, but very busy.

Really disappointing. A good choice of beers, but not if you’d prefer wine. The cleanliness in the toilets as well as the sewer smell around our table (we sat by the big screen) could do with some effort, as could the service, which wasn’t very friendly. A shame as this would have been our local during our stay, but after our first visit we gave it a miss.

It Is possible to see all Cambridge city during the lunch: great view! The Place Is very nice and confortable for families too. Menu has not a lot of choises and prices are in general expensive.

Used to visit when I was younger and always felt it had a great vibe. This week returned and found it quite unfriendly - barman was also miserable. Wouldn’t return.

Great atmosphere, staff needed some help from manager with allergy menu, very accommodating, great place to chill and drink

Head Brewer Vanessa has created Mexican Wave, a very drinkable, gluten free keg lager, cold and perfect for the summer. Nice spot for a pint on the walk home. Really interesting and mixed clientele

You have to come and listen to the master brewer and taste her beers. It's amazing.

You book a table but this place don't care, you turn up and you been told come back at least in 1h. We were 8. Will never goes there again

I liked it, it was tasty, friendly. We ordered a burger - not very big, but a juicy patty and a soft bun :) Despite the fact that there was still a large company celebrating something, they brought us our order quite quickly, and apologized for the inconvenience. It's nice inside. The only point, we came at 4:00 p.m., and dishes could be ordered from 5:00 p.m., before that only drinks

We had a big family meal as a birthday surprise for one of the party and sadly had an all round bad experience. We booked this table quite a while ago yet somehow still managed to be, what felt like, last on the priority list. When someone finally came to take our order we found out that quite a lot of items were unavailable. That happens, not the end of the world, just not a great start with 4 of our party having to quickly pick something else. After we placed our order we were then told there would be a delay on our food due to a function going on upstairs... This should have been advised before we ordered, as half of us weren't having starters and, by the time the starters finally did arrive, were getting quite hungry and frustrated. One of the starters was missing and arrived after the others finished theirs. It then took a good while for the mains and these also came out in bits. By the time the last meal was served, the first had finished his. The waitress who served us looked like she was quickly dropping our food off before heading out, with her jacket on and sunglasses on her head. No offer of sauces, more drinks or apology of delay. No-one came once to ask if we were enjoying our food and we had to wave down a waiter to advise that 2 of the meals were actually cold and would need to be reheated. The burgers were tiny for the price and all of the chips were luke warm. If you're paying £18 for a burger you'd expect a decent sized burger and hot chips. The flavour was there, which is why I'm giving two stars instead of one, but the size was lacking. It's such a shame, as we picked this restaurant based on good ratings, not living in Cambridge ourselves, and were really disappointed.

3 friends & myself enjoyed the beers & surroundings a must visit if in the area Mike

Terrible beers on tap. One of the worst I’ve had. Do not order The Porter

Really poor experience here last night. We had a fixed menu- two courses that came out at nearly £27. First was a drab slice of toast with a slither of goats cheese and some diced beetroot, then possibly the saddest salad I’ve ever seen - a handful of quinoa, shop bought cheap guacamole (which isn’t the same as smashed avocado) and some slimey veg. A bit of halloumi was the only nice part of it. Hardly filled me up at all and for £27 I’d expect more. That’s ridiculous to charge this. Having seen other food served beforehand I asked a member of staff I could change my preorder and he said it was “far too late” because everything was already in the fryer - this was 25 mins before the starter was served, which was a bit puzzling. I’d like to come back but simply can’t trust the food.

The pub itself is quite nice. And the selection of craft beers is good. The food was unfortunately quite bad though

Drinks = nice Food = very poor quality (tried the nachos, onion rings and a burger)

No food on this visit. Beers ok 👍

Good to see its still brewing atvmoment

Called in for a drink before going to an event nearby. Friendly staff, large section of beers. Nice ambience, for early evening drinks.

Lovely place for a quick drink. Friendly staff good beer

Lovely atmosphere. Can get a bit busy on weekends but otherwise good food and good service

This is definitively the best place for Wings Wednesdays in Cambridge. At £10, a kilo of wings is sufficient and beats the price/value at Brewdog, Cambridge Tap and Carpenter's/Salisbury Arms. The wings are perfectly cooked, piping hot and juicy, with a crispy outer coating and the right amount of sauce; not sparse or swimming. The Korean and BBQ flavours are great but can be overly sweet to enjoy a whole plate of. The Franks wings are an absolute classic and have that addicting heat and acid to cut through, allowing you to finish the plate with ease. The only thing that would improve these wings would be to offer a homemade blue cheese dip. The wings offerings at other aforementioned places are flaccid and rubbery in comparison. If I wanted wings essentially boiled in sauce I'd go home and disappoint myself there instead. Brewdog wings are slightly comparable, but are often overcooked, and you'd have to suffer their horrendous service whilst you wait between batches of your wings to come out. Overall 10/10 and will be continuing to come here with the boys 💪

We'd scouted this place out for a visit on our trip to Cambridge, as we love micropubs and beer cafes etc - somewhere away from the High Street with fun beers to try! The first night we came it was full with people watching football, so we went back the next day instead. The guy serving had zero personality, he was so sour faced it was off-putting. I tried to have a little joke with him but he was blank. I could have taken it personally, however I noticed he was the same with a big group of students ordering from a nearby table. However when one of his friends came to the bar it turned out he could actually smile and have a laugh, up until the friend left again.... The girls bringing food out and clearing glasses looked equally as miserable, and after holding a door open for one girl carrying plates of food to a table outside, we were also unsurprised to discover a lack of manners too. Beer was nice though, and prices were actually decent in comparison with other local pubs we visited. Disappointed after reading all the reviews, and we left after one drink when we'd hoped to spend longer/more money in there.

We had such a positive visit here. Staff could not do enough to accommodate us as visitors to there beautiful city. We had the best chicken burger ever and my husband enjoyed the choice of ales with the Cocolate Orange Stout coming out on top. What a refreshing place to visit that offer other speciality drinks other than ale. Will definitely visit again. Thank you

This place was amazing. I was served by Niko and he realy was the best waiter I have ever been served by. The place was so nice inside and the food was amazing. I realy recommend the fish and chips.

Amazing selection of gluten free beers, with delicious gluten free fish and chips!

Server was excellent and informative. Food was ok. Came quickly. Would go again.

Just had a couple of small plates that were just really bad. The chicken tenders were like big fridge raiders, dry and chewy and the potato skins were gloopy, oily and pretty sure they were microwaved. Not nice.

Attentive and accommodating service for food and drink. A good selection of beer available.

Brew a great range and liked the decor too

Went in for drinks pre meal staff were very nice brought our drinks to our table rather than having to wait at the bar. Went back later and the place was heaving but nothing had changed

Great selection of beers on tap and in the fridge - lovely food too

It's a very good pub. The food is also nice, but the price is too high for the size you get, so sorry to add this comment. I just couldn't believe £7 plus service on 2.5 chicken strips. It's just not worth it eating out. I am not sure how that can be improved

Decent boozer with a great selection of beers. The food is good too. I had a lovely steak and ale pie and washed it down with a couple of pints of really good stout.

Stopped in for a pint. Nice environment but could have done with some more staff on.

Got an espresso martini, wasn’t impressed by it.

I visited often in the past, but this time I was there for a wedding party. Great hospitality as always.

Expensive drinks. Nice place and very friendly

Ordered roast pork n apple, no apple, parsnips roasted to death and big chunk of pork belly mainly fat couldn’t eat

Good beer and great staff. Cheers.

They had run out of quite a few dishes so not much choice, and portion sizes were very small, so poor value. Food was OK, but very few side dishes. Overall disappointed.

Great pub and great service from Coco!

Lively pub with a good selection of beers

We dined here for lunch on Sunday. The service was prompt and very friendly and the food was very tasty. The bearded barman/waiter was super helpful and really looked after us. Great place to visit for a drink or to dine.

I had about two cocktails (mojitos) that tasted nothing like mojitos. Ambiance was good tho

Great place to socialise and watch live football

Sunday roast was insane and harry was a fantastic server, super friendly and helpful

A little off the beaten track, this large modern pub is a real find for beer lovers. An extensive range is on offer, many of them brewed in the on site micro brewery. This is run by Vanessa, the brew master (or mistress), a very knowledgeable lady of beers and wine, who will give you a guided tour of her operations. Only had sandwiches and portion of chips, but good and wholesome pub snack. Will go again.

I came for a meal but the best part was the delicious cocktails made by the charming and fabulous Louis and Niko.

Ottime birre, proposte interessanti della cucina. Nico ci ha dato una mano a scegliere i piatti e le bevande che più ci interessavano. Decisamente approvato!

The advertised kitchen opening times are not respected. I tried two times in a row, the second time I even booked a table for 9pm. However when I arrived at 8.45pm I was told the kitchen had closed... Apparently they already had enough customers for the day and they thought they didn't care about the ones they had not served yet. This is very disappointing and shameful. After 9 I could not find another restaurant open, and I don't live in Cambridge.

Very disappointed about the food. All the ingredients seems frozen food or can food. On the Miso roasted mushroom & spring vegetable kebab, the vegetables were ok, but the pita was very dry, almost impossible to eat. The Steak & Ale pie was nothing incredible and the gravy felt very bad quality. And the chicken goujons for my kid were extremely oily. Otherwise, they have a large variety of beers and drinks.

Nice ambience, food. Pleasant staff.

What a great pub to watch Rugby upstairs’ on a big screen !!! Great atmosphere and excellent service.

So if you want a bar where you can't find a seat and that serves just the bog standard beers you can get anywhere else in the country then unfortunately this isn't the bar for you. BUT if you want a quiter vibe with comfy window seats or high bar stools and tables, a large selection of craft beers and largers, an option for restaurant eating too, plus sports TV then this is the local for you. Loved our visit to this place, even if it is a little HIDDEN gem.

Busy, was a rugby night, so bar drinks too a while food was good and table service was fast.

Portion varies across the mains. The sausage is a particularly large dish especially considering the price. Burger and pie are on the smaller side. (For me the little pie is enough to get a taste without feeling too guilty…) The pie is crispy outside. Though quite dry inside, the chunks of steak is decent. On the other hand, the gravy is one of the best I’ve had. I usually dislike this greasy brown liquid, but this one is actually not too oily and has a thicker stickiness and tastes good with the pie, the cabbage (yes a lot of cooked veggie instead salad leaves :), and the chips. Chips aren’t the crunchiest but they are not soggy like many other pubs and restaurants nor soaked in oil… almost finished them during conversation. Service is friendly but food is a little slow.

beer choice waa something i liked

Came here for a business event recently, I was working for the company running the event and had some trouble with communication before arrival but hoped the day would go more smoothly. I was wrong, the room booked was not what was advertised at all, barely fitting in 20 guests. We had to make the guests wait outside in a small garden space while we moved the room around to try and make the most of the space we had. Asked for the ‘premium’ buffet to be served at 12 along with the private bar being manned at this time, food took forever to come out and allergen labels half done and half in the wrong place so I had to work this out to ensure guests with allergies didn’t eat something they shouldn’t. The only vegan option was so over peppered I could barely eat it. The bar wasn’t manned for a single moment of the day, we also had to keep going downstairs to the bar to ask for water refills. We were told the room was private and perfect for a business event, the door was made of glass and right next to the only toilets for the entire pub, it wasn’t sound proof so not only did we keep getting disturb by drunk men coming right up to the door, pulling faces, swearing and being aggressive but we also had a huge amount of noise disturbance the entire afternoon from the pub downstairs. The entire day was ruined and we had to keep making adjustments to the itinerary to try and make the most of what we had. Really not suited for business events whatsoever and very false advertised!

Really nice place to visit,standard food,not too expensive

Lovely place really nice and big roast dinner and they were very welcoming of my dog and said we could eat inside with her so in my book that makes them amazing 😊

Enjoyed an event in the private function room. Food was excellent. Real Ale for real men and a real hangover next day. Great mix of people. Well done .

Friendly service, but at the funny run-down end of King Street. Loud characters, yes, but never felt unsafe or unwelcome. A bit sticky.

Honest, friendly and not badly priced.

On 30th September I attended a private function which was rudely interrupted by members within the venue now why I understand that the venue is a pub when booking or attending a private function you don’t expect to be disturbed by the noise and people trying to get in, the food was nice but the fact that the staff at the venue didn’t do anything to move the people on that was being disruptive is very disappointing and I find it disrespectful to the lady that booked the event and I hope something is put in place so no one else who books a private function has to go through the disruptions

I went to a private event over the weekend which was sadly rudely interrupted by other people. The staff did not do anything to help the event organisers move on the disturbing people. The venue was not supposed to be open to the public whilst the event was on but it got busier and busier which caused some upset at the private event. Do not book this place for a private function unless you're happy to be interrupted by drunk people all the time. Sad when you pay alot of money to have a nice atmosphere and it was ruined.

I went to a private event over the weekend which was sadly rudely interrupted by other people. The hosts were having to almost shout over the Umpa Lumpas in fancy dress who were cheering and trying to gain access to the event. The staff did not do anything to help the event organisers move on the people. A lot of the inner work which was hosted by the hosts, was ruined as it’s hard to meditate whilst hearing people scream and try to gain entry. The venue was not supposed to be open to the public whilst the event was on! Do not book this place for a private function unless you're happy to be interrupted by drunk people all the time. It’s heartbreaking when you spend ages creating the perfect event and when you pay alot of money to have a nice atmosphere and it was totally ruined.

Not really someone who goes out of our way to leave reviews, but certainly wouldn't want anyone else to hire the venue in the hope of a private function, to be interrupted by drunk men shouting and swearing all day.

The food was fine, the experience of the staff and combination of the function room was terrible. Unless you are a uni student, i certainly would not consider your business meetings/ events. We spent most of the day being sworn at, and receiving challenges from rowdy men. The staff were told and very unapologetic... The function room was sold as a private room which is definitely not what it is. There was nothing private about the staff.

Awful venue- please do not fall victim to poor marketing and host your environments here.

Fully aware that the venue is a pub however when you hire a private function room, you do not expect to be sworn at and have people be able to shout into your 'private function room' all day. Its so sad that staff can not take accountability of where they have missold the event. Private should mean no ACCESS to those not attending instead we had constant distruption from other guests in the venue.

Cambridge staple. Good range of reasonable ales

Great choice of ales , loved the Misty River ! Nice staff too 👍

This place is just amazing. I was here for so many times and I enjoyed it any of them. The beer is amazing and the food it's delicious. I'd love to know about how to meet the brewer and perhaps learn more about the beer making process. So perhaps that's the next step in knowing this place.

Helt ok. Plus för att de brygger eget habilt öl.

A great selection of beers. As always. The staff were friendly and it had a good atmosphere.

Absolutely loved my lunch visit at this Brew House! It was my first time visiting Cambridge and we went on a beer tour of some local brewers... out of all the places we visited, this was the friendliest! I'll grant you, it was location 3 on our tour so we had a few drinks in us by this point, BUT this was the lunch stop. I had a fantastic burger and tasted 4 of their beers whose names I cannot recall, but were all unique and very drinkable! I'll have to visit again soon and take closer notice of the names of the beers I prefer😁 Anyway, I recommend visiting The Cambridge Brew House for the experience, and go for lunch, the food was really good.
