The Geldart in Cambridge

Just had a drink with old friends there but I had forgotten how nice this pub is. Will be going back for more.

Great evening on Easter Sunday. Loved the live band with kids playing drums and keyboard. Lovely atmosphere

My absolute favourite pub, in Cambridge, the UK and beyond! Ales are amazing, the hot rocks food is incredible, the music and atmosphere is second to none!

Went for Easter Sunday lunch. Delicious food, (chicken roast... Yum yum) fab music and excellent service! We'll be back!

Great themed pub. Good food and atmosphere. A little gem tbh.

The place and the service are great and the food is good and abundant.

I liked this place a lot. Lovely beers.

£6.90 for a Guinness in a backstreet pub, that, even by Cambridge standards was poor, is criminal. Presumably part of an elaborate joke at the customers' expense. The pub is decked out in rock n roll memorabilia: A great rock n roll swindle indeed. In fairness the staff were very nice. Recommended for those who like a side order of being exploited and scandalised with their pints.

£7.40 for a pint of dry hopped lager is ridiculous, especially when it’s around £5 in neighbouring pubs. Lovely to have a fire lit in the winter.

Nice first time visit, worth a return.

I found this pub from CAMRA's Good Beer guide - not always a guarantee that it is a great pub, just that they will serve real ale and it will be kept well. The beer selection was large, all the beers we had were great (good choices but also in perfect condition). The food was great - we had a lamb roast, a steak hot stone, etc. and all were really good. The service was generally great - they were responsive to emails to book, were attentive throughout the meal, etc. Paying was a bit slow (we went up to the bar in the end) but I wonder if that was a shift changeover/break time - minor quibble. The pub generally seems kid friendly - we had two pre-teen monsters and other tables had similar and younger and no problems were had. The decor is very eclectic! Huge amounts of musicana decorate everything, and our table was right by a selection of slightly saucy artwork (that caused amusement from the young nephews!). We will definitely return! Parking: there might be some street parking in the evenings or at weekends but you'll be driving around to find a space as is to be expected in cities.

Lovely pub, friendly staff and menus written on vinyl records. The location is wonderful!

Absolutely love this pub. First I thought it was the character of the pub that did it, then I thought it was the fantastic selection of real ales, rums and whiskies, but soon enough realised it was the staff that make this place so great. I will be very sorry when I move away from Cambridge, because this is my favourite pub anywhere.

Great pub, tucked away off Mill Road. Food is imaginative and very good quality. Great range of beers. Live music on Tuesdays. Comfortable patio.

The best fish and chips! Great choice of beer and staff always fantastic.

Going to Cambridge v Bristol Rovers,while walking to match came across this friendly pub,only there for a short time,but enjoyable.

A unique and brilliant gem of Cambridge. Quirky music theme, fabulous food, best service, live music, warm atmosphere… well it’s perfect!

Favourite place in Cambridge. Great food, excellent beer and the best people. Thanks for a great evening!

Great pub with a brilliant selection of beer

Lovely friendly local atmosphere but they obviously are also a music venue ( decor). No food at lunchtimes when we went but the menu looks good

The Geldart is home when away from home in Cambridge. Best kept beer cellar and superb atmosphere. A must visit when in town.

Love the fader, very reasonably priced at 7.10

Lovely food, atmosphere, garden. But pints are £7.50 each. Preposterous for Cambridge... Even in London that would be obscene.

Great pub. Wonderful staff,quality food and beer.

Walked in, £8.70 for a pint of neck oil, daylight robbery, not a chance

I know times are tight and pubs are struggling with increased costs. However, it is £8.70 for a pint of Beavertown Neck Oil in this pub. Apart from that, the food (vegetable lasagne) was really nice and not too expensive (£14.50).

Lovely pub, rest food, great atmosphere.

... lovely vibes, proper local bar...

A pint of neck oil costs £8.75 which is a total discrace

Bellissimo pub,ottima selezione di birre, grande musica. Sicuramente da visitare di nuovo,e poi era il pub di Syd Barrett

What a fabulous pub. Just had Sunday lunch, Roast lamb with all the trimmings. Beautifully cooked lamb, roast potatoes, seasonal veg, Yorkshire pudding and lashings of tasty gravy. Can't get much better. 6 adults and two children looked after by the attentive staff. Bar person knew the range of beers well and was able to steer me to a great porter and locally brewed stout. If you're after a non pretentious place with great beer, service snd food give this a try.

Great back streets pub. With wonderful musical themed decoration. Elvis, the proprietor, keeps a great selection of ales. Spirits and wine. The food is of a really high standard. Highly recommended. Great atmosphere. Large beer garden including comfortable covered seating areas. Do yourself a great kindness. Get up. Go out. And go there.

Great pub, one moody bar tender who if you go in not knowing they don't do food on certain days and ask for a menu will respond... "What for" in a rude manner 😆😆😆 "to fan myself with" I was tempted to respond.. always has a sour face bless him, please go in and try to make him smile. Good job I wasn't that hungry as would have bit his head off for my dinner otherwise.

Cool pub with a great beer selection

Had great Sunday at geldart not only had an amazing rot rocks dinner but listened to music with Johnny write and his pills amazing music afternoon.goid way to meet new peaple and make freainds .so looking folward to tue night next week .

Superb food and a really enjoyable evening

Superb pub, great range of cask and keg beers, good selection of drinks, great service, amazing decor

As always all food just fantastic! We had a rabbit and it was very good, tender, not boring, you taste a real rabbit ( not a chicken) ! Perfect

Live music! great range of spirits and tasty food! Local artists exhibit here as an added bonus.

Really great proper pub with interesting, well-kept beers on the pumps, banging Sunday roast and welcoming service. Highly recommend.

Old school pub, cosy atmosphere. Good beers on tap & a fireplace. 100% recommended.

Good food, great staff. Very quirky surroundings with vinyl records on the wall. Only complaint was that it was quite cold with smokers going in and out to the garden.

Had a great time. Good beer, great red wine with venison main in an atmospheric pub

Great food, great service, great place!

£7 for a pint of warm lager 🤮 arggh

Great pub with a garden and very tasty food(unique choices but definitely all delicious)

A bit different and a bit funky. It was quit cold inside for some reason the night we were there.

The place is really cute and amazing, I enjoyed the food and the mulled wine, it was great, you should definitely try it 🍷

Beautiful traditional pub with an interesting menu. Many of our group had hot rocks which all looked great. The price was pretty reasonable too. It was lovely to be somewhere warm, with an open fire and great food on a Friday night. The staff were great and attentive too.

I love this pub. I lived just a few doors down from it for a few years. The staff here have always treated me very well. The food is scrumptious. I got lots of takeaway fish n' ships over lockdown. There's a good selection of beers and wines too! Wonderful music-themed retro vibe with the occasional live music event. It's a wonderful neighborhood pub that was always very welcoming to me. Thank you, Geldart (especially Elvis, Laura, Callum, Raquel). I miss you.

Nice little pub with friendly staff and locals. Basic but charming decor with an open fire with chestnuts roasting. Good selection of draught beers. We did not order any food.

Excellent pub love the beer pumps

A really lovely local pub with great staff, atmosphere and food

Great local pub with a decent outdoor seating. We sat on the yard to play cards and have a beer.

A place with a soul 😉 Lovely food, good drinks selection, band every Sunday.

A nice cozy bar.friendly staff good prices.verry quit tho.il go back some day and might change the review

Decent pub with a great interesting interior theme (check out the piano table!). Great place to have a couple of pints and share a few of small bites or have a sit down meal inside. Worth checking out for sure. Chilled out decked covered outdoor seating area

We stopped for a quick drink. A reasonable range of real ales and a welcoming real fire added to the local atmosphere. We did not eat but from our table we could see into the kitchen and the preparation and plates of food looked both appetising and plentiful.

Pretty nice spot, laid back atmosphere, interesting food…

Food ok, portions not very large. Staff could definitely be more friendly.

Quirky pub, fab beers and wines. Known for their “hot rocks” dining specials.

Great array of beers and very welcoming, recommended.

Nice ambience. Dog friendly too. Staffs are quite friendly.

Cute pub in Cambridge with really good service

A cosy friendly pub. Great food great service

First visit, loved it! and will come back again

Lovely eve last night here. Great vibe, delicious food... especially the prawns & romesco & the steak hot rock!!! And great service too!

Great food and really good people! Such a nice place!!!

Fantastic atmospheric venue. Menus on old records great idea. However not a great dining experience. No salad available for the only fish option, no vegan choices and very limited expensive vegetarian 1970s type option. A mushroom with a bit of goats cheese in a bun six chips and a slice of lettuce. Desperately needs up dating. The 1970s style surly waitressing was amusing.

Great food, service, real cider and beer. Highly recommended.

I have given the Geldart 1 star as I needed to press a star to give my review. As a single man at a low point in my life. I popped in for a touch of hospitality. I have been ignored by the staff for two hours now despite trying to engage in conversation. After sitting with a empty glass for about 5 minutes I started my stopwatch on my phone. At 8 minutes and 15 seconds I was aventualy acknowledge. Suppose you have to be in the In crowd to enjoy some company in this pub. As a ex publican I would be mortified to see my staff ignore anyone. Thanks for the conversation. NOT

Place with a lot of musical charm. The food was delicious.

Staying a few doors down, this pub came highly recommended and we weren't disappointed. Friendly staff, great atmosphere, extremely tasty food which cooked in front of us, on hot rocks! Well done team 👏

I asked if the bread, olive oil and balsamic vinegar on the menu was vegan. I was told yes and it came with dairy butter.

First visit here, great local atmosphere and 6 real ales. The pub decor is based around music and is very nice. The food on offer looked amazing so next visit we will definitely eat here.

Having already tried their takeaway menu, dining in certainly lived up to our expectations. Great selection of pub food and choice of real ales. With plenty of well spaced, candle lit tables, this neighbourhood pub is with the trip out of the city, away from the more touristy pub venues.

Hadn't been in since Lockdown. Elvis was on night off, but Fred was at the bat. Situation normal.later on met a couple of guys that were besties with a mate from youth club. That's why you go to Pubs😎

Excellent pub . Good choice of beers and the food was delicious. 3 of us had the steak hot rocks & one had the fish & chips, all of us enjoyed the food and it was very good value for money . I would also highly recommend the pancakes they were really tasty. The Staff were very attentive and friendly. The pub it’s self is really interesting with random items & very clean . We can’t wait to go back there .

Very nice local pub with a musical flare. The atmosphere is great, and it's good to see there are still independent pubs around worth going to :)

I'm so sad to be disappointed by this place. The last time we went was 4 months ago and the service was so amazing we haven't stopped talking about it. Tonight as we were in town we decided to drop by and were immediately let down. We only ordered hummus which took about 15-20 minutes to come. It finally arrived and I imediately found a hair in my food. When I alerted my server, she got really uncomfortable and stated "if it was from us, it's only been in the food for the time it took me to walk from the kitchen". When we didn't say anything she responded "do you want a different set of bread?" We got no follow up checks after the bred was delivered, except to drop off drinks we ordered and realise they had also messed up that order. The server never came by again, she had other staff deal with us and no one checked in or offered any apologies. Super not impressed.

Great service, atmosphere and beers!

Very nice food and ambience, especially the garden atea. Don't forget to try their on the rocks items, its delicious

Great beers, food and atmosphere

I've been coming to The Geldart for over 6 years now and I've never had a bad time there.The selection of drinks is fantastic, the prices are great and the food really is an experience. I'm always recommending the hot rocks and pancakes!Everyone there is friendly - The owner, Elvis, the staff, the chef, and the clientele are great fun to sit and chat to.Art you can buy, a rocking soundtrack straight out of the 50's and live music just adds that extra touch.Top notch!

Warm welcome from Elvis and charming young serving ladies who were delightful.Excellent range of draft beers,superb homemade food perfectly cooked and a live band playing country music.A splendid way to enjoy a lovely sunny afternoon in the comfortable beer garden

Yes a proper Cambridge pub that serves fabulous ales, has a quirky (but in a good way) character and lovely good as well. Well worth a visit :-)

Nice pub, lovely staff, good food, excellent beers but beer was a bit pricey. We booked quite late on a Saturday afternoon for a 7pm table and they were very obliging.

We just love this place! We come back every time we are in town. Good food. Good service. Nice atmosphere. Good beer. Very recommended!

Great drinks choice and excellent serving staff. Also lovely covered outdoors space

The whole evening was just perfect. My fiancé and I booked a table inside but due to the nice weather the team had very considerately reserved a table for us outside as well. From the beginning the staff, especially Laura, were attentive but also gave us time and space to enjoy our meal.We knew we wanted steak served on the stone and it didn't disappoint. The fillet was tender and seasoned just right. They also had Soldiers Block, one of our favourite wines, on the menu, which was lovely to have with the steak. The gin too, was good - they have a rhubarb and pink lemonade-flavoured gin. One of the waitresses recommended the pancakes for dessert and it was a great recommendation! They were delicious and a substantial size for a dessert.All in all it was a fantastic evening; we look forward to going back.

Quirky pub with great meals with great staff too. Loved it!!!

Limited menu but for Sunday lunch,unbeatable for roast sirloin,roast potatoes and ddlicious fresh veg including large portion of fresh asparagus.Even the horseradish was freshly grated.Absolutely delicious and excellent beers.Staff extremely,polite,friendly and efficient.Do not miss this for a genuine,lovely pub experience .

Love this hidden gem! Great beer garden and selection of drinks. Hot plates were good too.

The Geldart is my favourite place to go for a drink in Cambridge. There’s a BLT for £3.75 that’s pretty fantastic, a lovely range of ales as well, and the staff are always friendly and a good laugh. There’s a kind of 50s 60s rock vibe going so the music is much more classic than a lot of places play, plus in the pre-pandemic world now lost to the annals of time there were some nice live events too. I used to live right around the corner and I’d be there at least once a week. It’s my favourite.

Simply the best fish and chips in town (that I've tried yet) :)

Great food, really nice atmosphere. Beer was a bit dear for us Northerners but all-in-all it was really nice

Good beer, good food, good service.

Great beers, great atmosphere, great food. Definitely one of the nicest pubs in Cambridge. Toilets are usually fantastically clean too.

Execellent beer.. nice food..enjoyed our little outing there

Thanks for accommodating my dietary requiremens. A lovely meal
