The Railway Vue Pub in South Cambridgeshire

What a wonderful booza - great selection of beers at a reasonable price for Cambridge👍 Wonderful atmosphere, staff chatty and provide a great service! I've not sampled the food as yet, but it's on my list of things I must try Definitely ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ from me.

Great Drinkers Pub, with great Live Music

Needed somewhere that did a pint and didn’t charge a fortune. The hotel we were at was RUBBISH. So tried here. Small car park. Beer garden was full of people enjoying the sunshine. We sat in and watched the olympics on the tv. Friendly staff. Good pint, small choice of alcohol free lager.

Really nice place to have a drink in the garden on a sunny day. The building needs some work and pepping up but besides that it was a good day out for a beer.

Lovely pub, great beer, and very nice food. Big screen in the "spit and sawdust" side for sport, conservatory for drinks and music events

Walked in to find a guy being ejected by the landlord for assaulting a woman by licking her face. The landlord was telling this guy that the woman had over reacted but he should leave. Very cowardly. The woman had been assaulted in a disgusting and lecherous manor but the landlord didn't have the backbone to tell him. I say again, he's a coward. I went to the bar to order a drink, only to be told I had to drink outside as my dog was scaring people. It was 0 degrees outside. Everyone around me in the pub had no idea what he was talking about as my dog was very friendly and well behaved. The solace I get from not being able to ever go back there again is that he won't be landlord for long as it is clearly evident that he is losing grip on everything and will surely not last there as the proprietor. Such a shame as it used to be such a great pub

Popped in for a quick drink. Good beer, bot expensive.

Quality hosting Histon Hornets after footy, good lads and pub was everything you can ask for.

Really good venue for watching the football. Good selection of food and drink and the food was cooked fresh. I would say the menu was a little limited as they had sold out quite early - but proves things are done fresh if they run out. Super friendly staff

A relaxing honest, good value local with a limited but well kept range of beers. The local church bell-ringers come here for a pint after practice, which is a very good advert!

Stopped off while cycling along bus route, very hot day. Great local pub atmosphere, service was exceptional, but they had run out of scotch eggs, saw someone else's and they look delicious and huge 😋.

Great place to watch sports, gathering, music and food. Large chucky chips are the best. 4 stars food because a recent experience wasn't great as usual. Thanks

Nice village pub, with great food.

Stopped here for a beer or two and decided to have dinner as well after we looked at the menu. We weren't disappointed the landlord was a good cellar man my wife enjoyed the wine and the food was well cooked and competetively priced. The locals were very friendly, so much so we decided to return the next night.

Nice pub close to the guided busway

I just felt the service could have been better, other than that ! A top class place

Quick pit stop, beer ok and person who served me very pleasant. No atmosphere in pub to make you hurry back

Well located pub on the guided bus route - well priced drinks and food

A solid reliable pub Drinks: 7/10 Atmosphere: 8/10 Prices: 7/10

Amazing place for food and drinks. Food was delicious and staff very friendly and helpful.

Had my hubbies 80th there. Staff were very attentive, helpful. Great time had by all.

Stopped off on the way home, food was good and service was very polite.

OK, not quite what I expected out of a gastro pub. Food was OK and reasonably priced but limited menu. Staff friendly and helpful

A nice pint of doombar in a quiet garden area

Very nice beer, good food basic but good. Music a bit too loud. Great staff very friendly.

Had a very enjoyable meal here as a group of 4 adults and 2 children - we were well looked after and the children entertained by the very kind staff!

Excellent evening with superb music from Den and Dave

Nice pub, lovely bar staff. Not the most interesting selection of beers, certainly no craft beers I'd that's your jam!

Visited the Railway Vue with a group of 5 for Sunday Lunch.. food was freshly cooked and one of the best beef dinners that I have had in a pub. Attentive staff and a good ambiance throughout the pub.. Will surely go again👌

Good service, and good priced choice of food.

We visited for a work lunch but unfortunately several of the food items and drinks were unavailable. We ordered and then waited a long time for food and when it came some of it was very disappointing. The meat feast pizza could have been great but as it was served we were told that they had cut the corner off as it was too burnt!! The other edges and a lot of the pepperoni were inedible, black and burnt to a crisp! My scotch egg would have been delicious but again was very over cooked with the egg yolk being rock hard. The chap that served us was a nice chap and as we had waited so long for the food and were already really over-running we just got on with it but sadly we would not go back and I absolutely would not reccomend to any other local companies as a business lunch venue!

We booked a table before our family of three adults and two children, went to watch the football at Histon FC. on new Year's day 2022. The reviews we read and the website text paint a very different picture from the one we saw. The outside areas are shambolic and delapidated, the so-called conservatory where we dined, had filthy window frames with damp mold and dead flies. The furniture was old fashioned and the biggest problem - many of the reasonable looking menu's items were not available. We made our orders from the limited menu and then saw the waitress running to the shop for supplies (bread buns for the burgers). To be fair the food, when it came about 30 mins after ordering, was quite decent, hot and tasty. This pub seems to rely on its sports bar in the main. It is not a wholly pleasant dining experience.

Despite the mixed reviews on TripAdvisor we decided to walk from the Holiday Inn to the Riverside Vue For an evening meal and a drink. Greeted warmly shown to a lice table in a corner. Warm and inviting and courteous. Excellent meal with great service couldn’t talk more highly thank you

Great staff, quick service and very reasonably priced drinks

Really nice staff and good beer. I didn't eat there baring some pork scratchings, which they sell by the pint!!

Very disappointed, ordered spare ribs, they were burnt and the sweet potato fries were soft. No one came over and asked if everything was ok. Staff were not very welcoming, will not be returning anytime soon.

seemed like a nice enough pub, friendly staff. only had a couple of pints so can't comment more than that

Very good service, good food, friendly staff. Well worth a visit.

Very good food in a traditional urban pub.

The food was yummy and the staff were really friendly & attentive. It's a great place.

I would like to say thank you for the great food we have experienced this week. I like to choose food I do not get at home and the menu is big enough so that I will beable to very my choice. My parents went for the first time for lunch and had the belly pork Tuesday. I had the duck confit with girlfriends at lunchtime Wednesday. I saw the Squid tapa so visited after Pilates Thursday. Then mum,dad, my brother and I celebrated my mum's birthday Saturday lunchtime! Firstly the food is fresh and delicious but also there is plenty of parking, it's right by the guided busway or like me it's a 12min zoom on the bike from Chesterton! Each time we all had friendly and attentive service no matter the time of day or who was serving. Looking forward to the Chiver's Jam Festival at the end of August. Considering the bands that are playing at the pub I'm presuming 'Jam' is a play on words!! 😆 It's how I explained it to my dad anyway!

We were overnighting at the Cambridge Holiday Inn (HI), and hadn't been impressed by the lunch food there - so decided to seek out a local alternative pub/restaurant - within walking distance of the HI. Found the Railway Vue on Tripadvisor - so decided to try it. This is no way a "destination" pub, it's not trendy - it's a typical town/suburban pub. We went there in the evening for a meal, where we received a friendly welcome, drinks (brought to the table) etc. Decent choice of dishes on the menu, and I selected chicken caesar salad and a side of triple cooked chips. I do like caesar salads - and this was one of the best I have had, certainly one with the most chicken ever. As for the "triple cooked ships" - these were fantastic - big, crispy, but with soft fluffy potato inside. My wife ordered prawn/avocado salad - which was great - but a bit lacking in prawns, but no worries - I had so much chicken I was giving it away!! So that's it, the Railway Vue - nice pub that sells good, decent, reasonably priced food. It's interesting to read that reviewers have found a miserable/nasty person running this pub. May be they exist - but we didn't encounter anybody like that,

Food was delicious and the staff really friendly.

We were staying nearby and spotted this pub on the map when looking for somewhere local to eat. When we first arrived our impressions were that it appeared to be a sports bar as there was a busy outdoor seating area with a big screen TV showing a sporting event. Inside the decor was slightly dated and the place was virtually empty but we had a very warm welcome. There was a wide variety of food choices from traditional mains to tapas dishes. Our party of 4 ordered 2 mains and a selection of tapas dishes. Potion size was large and the quality was good.

Only popped in for a quick lunch, but the pub seems very nice. I had orange juice because I was in my car, but I could see they have some good beers available. Was a bit disappointed that they had no common or garden sandwiches available, but I had a baked breaded cheese and ham item which was really good.

Popped in for a couple of ciders, fantastic staff, lovely garden area 👍👍

Miserable woman who runs the place. How I was spoken to today as a customer was unbelievable. This was before I’d even opened my mouth. Last time we’ll be there. Best of luck to them!

Really nice lunch. Club Sandwich, Fish and Chips: classic pub fare.

Lovely little pub with its own personal charm, the lass who served us was very nice and helpful. Food came presented really well and tasted fantastic, Would reccomend, would 100% go again.

Lovely food, great service. Wonderful garden

Nice pub ,nice staff quite spacious, nice little garden outside

Food, took ages to come, staff were miserable and unwelcoming. The only thing that was good was the food, well done chef. I won’t be going again; bitterly disappointed with the services no get up and go.

I saw this pub from the busway on a cycle ride and really wanted to sit in the garden on a sunny eve!! They had a table and we went on Friday afternoon / eve and it was brilliant!! Staff were great, atmosphere was friendly and relaxed and my partner is a ceoliac and when we asked about gluten free they had quite a few options and adapted the pizza to ensure she could have it!!! It was so nice!! Make sure if you book you turn up so pubs like this one can keep making us happy as we emerge from lockdown times!! Thanks to all the gang at railway vue and will be back 😀

Do not go to this pub! the owner of the pub is a nasty piece of work even her own staff seemed terrified of her, she was screaming at people who were not wearing masks at the pub but her OWN STAFF including her weren’t wearing a mask! The owner then went over to one of my friends table and sat herself down and started smoking a cigarette whilst speaking to my friends who all looked very confused and worried as to why she just say herself Down which is also breaching covid. Drinks were half full when we ordered them overall the staff wasn’t great besides one of the waiters who asked me and my friend if we were okay and apologied about the awful experience we had with this woman who claims to own the pub, her name is lauretta. Never going here again she either must be a alcoholic or have anger problems as she was so rude aswell as very hypocritical in what she was saying as none of her staff or her were even wearing a mask. It’s one thing telling someone to put a mask on fair enough but the way she was shouting at us and being extremely aggressive was not on.

It was nice to see local pubs coming to life once again. RV is a decent place with nice food and friendly atmosphere. Looking forward to getting the ales selection in too.

Fabulous lunch of beef wellington with roast veg. Always the best service here and always a warm welcome 🥰

A last minute decision led us to this lovely village pub. Very friendly and comfortable. Very safe and well signposted both inside and out which made us all feel very safe. A well kept pub, very clean and tidy, a lovely conservatory which is light and bright. The beer was well kept, bright and refreshing. Drinks were table served, and no sooner had you ordered, it was delivered with a smile. The menu was varied, tasty and something for everyone, from tapas style small plates to a full roast chicken with all the trimmings. The coffee was also good. A nice pub with lovely staff and good beer and food.

Friendly hosts, lovely food and good value.

Had a wonderful steak here, cooked to perfection. My wife had a meat feast pizza and thoroughly enjoyed it. Great little fins whilst visiting Histon football club.

All the way from Romford last night for football at Histon FC and a meal beforehand. No better place than the Railway Vue, plucked off the map by chance. A very good experience and fun too; staff, food, cleanliness, organisation and ambience excellent. We shall return, especially when we play Cambridge City later in the season. P.S. Histon 1 Romford 2: a good night all round.

Excellent food, friendly welcoming owner's and Really clean, highly recommended

Disappointed with food this time may have well gone to hungry horse

Staff slow coming out to take order..had to go back in to remind them

Great Sunday roast. Excellent value (far too much for me to eat) and brilliant quality. Friendly, helpful staff.

Gret pub, good lager and welcoming people.

I was assumed by the (clearly inexperienced) bar staff's offer of a German alcohol free lager as a suitable alternative to my request for a pint of Adnams (real ale) Ghost Ship. There appeared to very little access to the bar and no options of hand pump real ales. A shame as previous visits have been rather better.

Friendly, attentive service and we were made very welcome. We had the fish and chips and it was truly excellent, far superior to the usual pub fish supper. The cod was cooked perfectly, not overdone as seems to be the norm elsewhere, and the chips were perfect. Homemade mushy peas too - in fact the whole meal was clearly cooked from scratch and with genuine care. We will be back to try the other dishes!

Once you've got your head round the post Covid measures this is a local pub doing it's best to serve the community. The staff were friendly and the food on offer was great value. Especially during the Eat out to Help out campaign. Decent ales on offer too.

Felt very safe on a Saturday afternoon Pitstop here.

Lovely friendly pub and fab food

Lovely food and host Great play list

Another Thursday evening meal at the Railway Vue. I had a chicken and mushroom pie which was delicious the pastry being very light and the filling absolutely delicious, my wife had the rib eye steak which was cooked to perfection and she said absolutely tender and delicious too.

ALWAYS a great stop. Our families had super dinners and the service was terrific. Thank you everyone at the pub.

Local pub with very kind personnel and nice beer! Familiar, warm environment!

Food and service speed average, lovely ambiance in the pub, friendly staff

Came here on Boxing Day and enjoyed a couple of brews. Returned a couple days later for food. Fantastic food and service. Indie was superb! Music included. Amazing!

We had a family gathering of 31 people at the Holiday Inn Cambridge last weekend but AMAZINGLY they couldn't manage to supply us all with an evening meal !One of our party found this pub within walking distance and they said they could feed us. It was all arranged in advance of course and we had sent our meal requests in advance. When we arrived they had set up tables in the conservatory, arranged so that we were all together. Incredibly, all the meals ALL came out in a constant stream so that we were all more or less eating together. The quality of the food and the value was amazing and everyone had what they ordered. I can not compliment the bar staff, kitchen staff and chef enough on their skills and professionalism.I would highly recommend this pub to anybody

Fine ale, steak night lovely, with a friendly local feel ! Spot on

Meal was fantastic, steak just and I'd asked for and the fish and chips superb. Friendly staff, a great evening.

Good burgers, nice neighborhood pub!

Always enjoyed the Railway Pub But visited last night with my two sisters and spent £100 for drinks and 3 meals The food was disgusting and I would not have given it to a dog

Ordered duck egg, chips and ham and that's exactly what I got, no greenery or anything, but the chips were excellent. Would recommend 👍

Litterally served us raw vegetables with our roast dinner. The pork was fine and the service was fine but other than that it was very disappointing.

Excellent food great atmosphere

Always a fantastic steak and we've only been disappointed once - on Valentine's Day when we forgot to book!!! The steaks are delivered that day and are mouthwateringly good. Tried steaks elsewhere in Cambridge and this is by far the benchmark - nothing else comes close!

Great pub with great owners coukd not have been made to feel more welcome

Beautiful staff & lovely home cooked food, generous portions & fairly priced. Definitely will be returning soon we had priceless family fun & my son loves the bouncy castle in the garden!

The perfect village pub for eating and drinking

A great little pub in Histon, easily accessible from the excellent Guided Busway which passes, 40yds South, between Cambridge and Huntingdon / St Ives.

Friendly, locals' pub, yet welcoming strangers :-)

Villagey pub at the side of the busway ideal for refreshments on the way to/from Cambridge without the 1 mile walk in to Histon. 2 well kept real ales , pub fighting the more pretentious offerings in Histon .

Good selection of beers and very kind service. A bit pricy.

Service was excellent but the beer was terrible. Very cloudy and full of bits I don't think they had cleaned their pipes for several days. Others I have spoken to since have said the same

Food was lovely and good value . Food service was a little 'relaxed' . Friendly atmosphere

Ok typically pub. Food ok as well.

Rundown & overcooked food. The steak was nice though.

Good beer and good food (steak). Nice waitress. Very kind. Cosy pub inside with nice terrace . Free parking.

Great. Bar staff excellent, and polite .

Fantastic Sunday Roasts, nice quiet area and friendly service from all staff.

Amazing place to have a beer and chat.
