The Haymakers in Cambridge

Fast food service, good beer and pizza, and friendly too.

Absolutely delicious. I've been coming for years and the pizza is ALWAYS the highlight of the day. It's delicious and very quickly served, pizzas are about £14 each and are well worth the value of portions size! The atmosphere is great with games and a bar and books for people, seating inside and out is great as well as parking spots and bike racks! Staff are always nice and if your foods not really fast or your food has a problem etc they always come out personally to apologise. Very sweet people. Make sure you go here hungry!! I recommend the Caramelata Would recommend

Great pizza, one of the best in Cambridge.

Great pub...packed on a summer's evening

Great Milton brewery pub. Good beer good atmosphere. Friendly staff. Pizza menu. Burgers. Antipasto. Lasagne. Really nice food

What has happened to this pub they used to have tools on there wall from workers a hundred years ago and now they sell rubbish beer so disappointed that pub used to be good

Most disgusting and shameful treatment. We ordered our food@7:45 , the girl at the counter was nothing but rude, not giving even the time to complete our order, rushing for no reason. We felt that bad that we didn't carry on ordering the drinks. After over 1hour waiting we asked our refund, none of them cared or said sorry at all. They didn't offer a single thing, not even a bottle of water. We never had an experience like this, one of the guy at the court said that nobody cared about our food order when the mistake was from them not informing us that the kitchen was busy (I'd not even said that, all of us worked in hospitality and that's NOT busy or a reason to treat customers like that) also, we ordered some vegan cheese option, we PAID the extra for that and just at the end when the refund was processed they informed us that wasn't even available. I'm just speechless I used to love this pub, I even worked there many years ago. Now it's just a never again. Shame

Good outdoor eating and drinking, with large area under-cover with heaters. Well-spaced tables. Efficient service. Tasty pizzas

Busy (Friday evening) but still some seats inside and more outside Food great - amazing pizzas Fun and friendly staff with a great atmosphere

A great neighbourhood pub, with delicious pizzas (which always seem to be served incredibly quickly!) and a great selection of local ales from Milton brewery. Cosy interior and atmosphere as well, highly recommended.

Owned by Milton Brewery so good choice of their beer. Also does excellent pizza.

Menu very small and expensive for what you get. Place was empty only bar was full of locals. They made being in there uncomfortable. No place to go up the bar to order..loud talking..service was brilliant and we were acknowledged straight away. I will not go there again.

Local pub experience with outside space and great pizza, good ales and selected lager

This is a good pub. The food is nice (though not cheap) and the Milton Brewery beers are good. They have been a bit rude when asking us to leave at closing time. Apart from that, definitely recommend :)

Well priced and tasty pizzas, and amazing local beers on tap plus bottled craft beer. Lots of seating space inside and outside, and plentiful cycle parking. Not overly expensive either. For me one of the best pubs in Cambridge.

Cracking little pub. Only visited as they had a dartboard up ( a very nice one at that) top spec board with the surround lighting which is perfect. Pleasantly surprised. Great selection of drinks and the food smelt & looked amazing. Will make sure to try that next time I visit. Some great locals around also who were fellow dart fans.

Really good pub with a mixture of locals who make you feel welcome and visitors, they have a great selection of locally brewed ales sold at a very reasonable price. I always make it a point of call whenever I’m in the area.

Bit of a loud, unstylish barn. Good , well priced food. Would benefit from a good IPA/APA on tap .

Good pizza Milton brewery Enough said

Real ale ale house, but I had Moravka Lager which was nice £6.00 a pint

Good beer, friendly staff, great vibes.

Always: Great beer. Great Pizza. Great atmosphere.

Great atmosphere and friendly staff!

Probably the best pub pizzas in town

Great beer, great food, friendly staff.

Excellent beer and pizza staffed by real people.

Great local pub with a good selection of local Milton ales as well as guests which change every week. The bar is well-staffed so there's very rarely a wait. The kitchen specialises in pizza but it can be variable in quality, and the burgers are seriously underrated. Lively pub quiz every second Monday. There's live music some Sunday nights. You can go here to avoid the football. Substantial beer garden which is very pleasant in the warmer months.

The dirtiest place I've ever been. I walked in and turned around. Smelt off, looked off. And hygiene rating was 4☆. Definitely won't even pass nearby next time.

Milton brewery beer great. Food ok, could be better.

What’s great pub… excellent service, delicious food and a great atmosphere.

Normally really like this pub, but very unpleasant experience today. Impolite customers insisting on keeping the door open, despite low outside temperature. This made it very uncomfortable for us. Unpleasant discussions and staff not rectifying the situation. Please, Haymakers, sort this out.

Great pizza and good selection of beers.

A charming pub with delicious food. Will return for sure!

We had as a group had 2 beers each and the third beer was off. The beer was changed with a test having been made and a comment from the member of staff saving it was chalky and turning the sign on the pump to off. The manger was in the back ground and turn the sign on the pump back around to working and told us to next time we need to try the beer before ordering, and the barrel still had another 66 beers remaining. It was like being a small child back at school really nasty given we had been served bad beer. We finished our beer and then noted that the pump had been turned off but we had not received an apology for the tone we were spoken to and the accusation had chosen the wrong beer and wanted a way out. We went drink else were despite the rain. First time I have been to this pub and I was upset by some being stress about the number of drinks not sold due to beer going off. I might as well stayed at work given the way we were spoken too, it was not totally acceptable.

Been here a few times. Pizzas are amazing as is the mac n cheese and selections of beer, cider and soft drinks. Relaxed atmosphere with indoor and outdoor areas to sit. Friendly service.

Good pizzas. Fantastic salsa sauce.

Great pizza and chips. Friendly staff and great atmosphere. Would highly recommend visiting

Great pizza, definitely will go back when in Cambridge.

Great food, tasty ales and relaxed, friendly service.

I like this place. The pizza is very delicious.

Amazing pizza. Lots of craft ales but only 1 lager on tap

Lovely pub with plenty of space. Friendly, good selection of Milton Brewery beer and some guest ales as well. Excellent pizzas too. Large pub garden, lots of space. Ample bike parking too.

Very good burgers, friendly staff. Recommended

Great pub experience, excellent selection of modern beers, and one of the best pizzas in town! I've been 4 times now and it never disappoints. Waiting times are a bit long sometimes, but it's because of the demand.

Fantastic pizzas.. good service.. a fun casual pub. Have been before and will definitely be going back.

Quite quiet when I popped in on an early Monday afternoon, but welcoming, dog-friendly and spacious. Oh, and a totally excellent beer selection, starting with the always reliable Milton Brewery offerings. I also saw Magic Rock beers or the chalkboard. Next time I shall check out the food.

I visit haymakers almost every tuesday and find the staff there to be absolutely lovely, the atmosphere is very welcoming and I could sit in there for hours just chatting away to both my friends and the bar staff (as long as they're not serving at the time.)

Great pizza and bonus of home made desserts. Recommend the tiramisu and cheesecake.

Great garden to sit in and enjoy a drink. The food looked great!

Went for quiz night, very enjoyable, didn't come last! Excellent beer, not bad pizza.

Nice local pub with a large garden. They serve decent local beers and food. They cant stop the birds from pooing on the tables outside, but it would be nice if they brushed it off.

The pub itself is fantastic…. Unfortunately the girl serving behind the bar is rude, has an attitude and no customer service skills what do ever…. Such a shame

One of my favorite pubs :) goats cheese and caramelised onions pizza is the best!

Nice place, good assortment of products, lots of choices, nice and polite staff

Lovely pizzas, wide selection of ciders, good prices

Consistently very good, nice selection of beers and fantastic pizza.

Always a good atmosphere here. Milton brewery owned which means some of the classics on tap. Moravka is nectar.

Great pub. Good selection of local ales, fantastic pizza and typically quite fast service. Always has a great atmosphere too.

Super tasty fresh pizza and good selection of beer

Excellent food and very good selection of beers

Pub che fa anche la pizza, molto buona.

Great local pub. Smashing pizzas, lovely local beers, nice atmosphere, everyone there is nice and friendly. A real 'home away from home' classic pub.

Wonderful place great beer. Atmosphere and food. Real gem of a place. Worth a visit anytime

Great, light bases somehow on the gluten-free pizzas!

Have had a good couple of evenings here with friends. It sometimes ends up with some tables being pretty loud which can get irritating, hence the 4 star, but not really the fault of the pub

Really good pizzas! Excellent vegan and alcohol free options

It serves Milton Brewery beers that are usually well kept. Let down by the food though. Pizzas can be ok, when the bases aren't overly blackened, not much else. Could do with a range of simple sandwiches for lunch times.

Good beer ,nice staff, and great pizza

Possibly the most authentic English pub. Best pizzas in town, relaxed and cosy atmosphere, some nights live music, some nights board games, friendly staff, a must-go pub of you are in town!

Good beer and good pizza. Will happily go again.

Great, traditional, family-friendly, neighbourhood-centred pub. A wide variety of things on tap and a startling selection of very good pizzas for any taste! We saw friends getting together to play board games, families visiting with each other, pals catching up, everything necessary to a good pub vibe. Oh, and the service was ridiculously fast!

Great little pub. Went there for dinner and had a good choice of beggie options and pizzas. Good beer choices, not the commercial ones.

Great real traditional pub. Lovely atmosphere and drinks reasonable prices for Cambridge. Staff were friendly. Didn't try the food but am told by several friends that the pizzas are very good as they have their own pizza oven. Other food also available.

Good pizza, good beer, nice place

Nice place where dogs are allowed and board games. Good pizza. Only 4 stars because sometimes food runs out soon.

One of the best in Cambridge as they serve beer I drink. Nice, comfortable pub.

Delicious vegan pizza and super helpful staff.

Amazing pizza and wide selection of ales

Really good pizzas and a good selection of ales.

Great pub, welcoming atmosphere, lovely staff, great beers. Pizzas are really good, although food options are a bit limited if you want something else.

Great local pub. Friendly and homey

Spacious interior. Good for a group

Good beer. Was attracted by the pizza offering but not great. Poor dough

Local run pub with real ales and wood oven fired pizzas. Friendly staff and great choice of beers.

Food was so overpriced and it was disgusting and in low amount. You only get small amount of frozen chips, small bland salad, bread and some meat in it that tastes like a rubber slipper.

Delicious food, cosy traditional pub atmosphere, staff are nice, the pizzas are best in town.

A nice old pub on a quiet street a bit north of the Cam, the Haymakers is one of pubs people at my company go to for drinks after work, especially in summer. The garden is a bit drab - not so much a garden as converted carpark - but the pub itself is lovely. The food is excellent - they make very good pizzas.

If you go here, you have to try the pizza, it is absolutely lovely, the chips are amazing too. Also great selection of non-alcoholic drinks.

Nice food and service but the decor orange

Just left the pub, with family and the dog after a couple of drinks and lovely food. Staff friendly, food came out quickly, etc. All the boxes ticked. Will come again when we visit Cambridge next time.

Best pizza in Cambridge, great beer and good craic ..what s not to enjoy !!

Great quality pizza, highly recommended!

My favourite pub in Cambridge against some tough competition. Still feels like a proper local, love the wood panelling and booths inside, and a decent garden out the back. Don't really understand a few of the negative reviews here. Guessing people went expecting a polished, posh gastropub or something. Had countless pizzas here and they've all been great, beer selection is excellent and local, supplemented by a few choice Belgian and German bottles. I think they have good options for gluten free and its a very LGBTQ+ friendly pub. Haymakers has a friendly atmosphere and a lovely alternative vibe. Staff have always been kind, charming, funny, suspect a few of the reviewers can't read sarcasm. I love the vibe here and I've never not enjoyed a visit.

I am not a Cambridge resident so this is not a local pub for me but I do visit at least 4 or 5 times a year when I am in town. I thoroughly enjoy the ales and the pizzas are very good. The staff are friendly and knowledgable and being a dog owner the pub is dog friendly which is a bonus. Sadly though I have noticed over the last couple of years the price of the beer has gone through the roof. It seems like everytime I visit the beer has gone up about 50p a pint from my previous visit to the point where most of their beers are close to £5 a pint. It is also very noticeable that the pub is not as busy as it was. I was there on a recent sunny Sunday afternoon and there were only 4 other customers.

The place for pizza. Menu and ordering can be done online or at the bar.

This is a pub you'll like or hate. All the draught beers are from a single small brewery, which might be to your taste, or not. The food is also slightly quirky, and if you want to reserve a table, the rules are slightly quaint. That said, it worked for us and we enjoyed our visit. We hope you do too.

Wood-fired pizzas are delicious (with good veggie options). Various Milton Brewery ales and really excellent local ciders (and some more normal options like Moravka lager and bottled stuff). Bar staff are always friendly and the beer garden is big and pleasant.

Nice pizza, good beer from Milton Brewery

Lovely place to meet friends. Nice drinks and friendly staff.

Great place. Wide beer choice, tasty pizzas and a spacious garden with excellent and huge bike parking visible from most outdoor seating.
