The Regal in Cambridge

Typical Wetherspoons pub,nice and clean and very big, 2 floors

Lovely Christmas dinner today nice and warm only thing forgot cranberry sauce payed but got refund great value told work friends value was great cheers

I came here during my daughter's graduation, This was a chilled out and the staff were very helpful

Good cheap food and drink. Great that you can change the menu and substitute the ham for an extra egg

My friend licked my hand, and made it a very uncomfortable experience

A large and well run pub that was fairly busy when we visited during the day yesterday (28.11.24). Ordering from the app with direct service to your table is a brilliant initiative from Wetherspoons. I know some Folks don't like it but it simply works allowing the staff to be far more productive resulting in happier and better spending punters. The food is good, honest "Pub Grub" stuff; It's not going to win any Michelin Stars but it doesn't pretend to be so. Value for money is also very good...Four Drinks, Two Mains & Two Sides came to a shade over £30. But the real star of The Regal are the Staff. They were constantly turning tables, helping Folks, delivering food & drinks and any number of other tasks that we do not see. All with a friendly and helpful air...Honestly, these Guys earn their money and then some. Wetherspoons; You should be very proud of the Team at The Regal. I would like to give a shout out to the Lady who looked after us the most whilst in there; Rachel. Honestly, what a STAR that Lady was.

Food was nice and suitable for westherspoons ,staff and rushed off there feet possible more staff under circumstances

I only go for a full English breakfast but it's hearty with all the trimmings and bottomless gourmet coffee from machine.... Interior is well presented with lots of local history on the walls It was once a cinema as a kid the chap usher wore a terrible wig brown over grey!

Typical Wetherspoons. You know what you will get.

A better Spoons, despite its huge size. Food and service better than others in this chain

Very nice there. Clean, loads of staff cleaning tables. Food looked good.

A massive weatherspoons and really liked it.

As a dyslexic I have trouble reading the menu, being helped by a really nice young lady serving, then was rudely interrupted by a customer, so her colleague took over in very abrupt manner, totally got my order wrong. I ate politely and greatful for the loaded chips, was asked everything was ok buy a young lady in charge, I explained... Anyway the regal is what it is a spoons at the end of the day.

There was 3 of us in are party, 2 of the meals were great but 1 was so small you'd think it was a kid's meal except the kids meals came with more sides and cost less

When on a Saturday night, felt like I walk into the local youth club. That's just an observation, I still enjoyed a creamy pint and moved on to somewhere more chilled.

The quintessentially British experience. Cheap beer and food, loud atmosphere and ugly carpet.

Timer on app states 3 mins drink. It took 7 minutes.

Super rude bouncer. I was inside with my friends, I had to go out to get something and when I came back he started shouting that I would have to wait 30 mins to get in again so I left because my friends would not be there by then. Terrible employee who should not be doing this job if he cannot work under pressure.

Tasty, cheap and good! Atmosphere is great. I'd love to go there!!

The food is good, a lot of atmosphere, a lot of people, they have a lot of affordable gastronomic offerings and appreciation. Service is not its strong point, but it is something that is already known, a student place, good food at an acceptable price. They also have a wide variety of cocktails and drinks.

Used to be better. Waitress basically threw the serving on the table. Surely she can't be as busy as that.

Very busy place and popular Enjoyed food & staff were lovely.

We visited 22/10/24 for a meal before attending a gig at the corn exchange drinks arrived promptly,food 5 minutes later on first taste it was cold so l took it straight back returned to me still cold , staff were not bothered an unacomading nice old building but would avoid for food

Great value, great range of beers. Can be a victim of its own success as service slows when it gets very busy.

Nice open spoons with a very large seating area everything on tap as standard busy place Can't rate the food as I would rather buy a hotdog from a side street vendor than buy anything off a spoons menu. Undercooked or microwave steak, always get a good drink 🍸

Sorry to say but my experience today was very bad with the food at weatherspoons today. My friend and I went in for a late afternoon snack and ordered a few things. I only had a portion of chips and onion rings and for the past few hours I have been in extreme stomach pain. When I asked my friend she said that she felt very sick as well and she had gotten the fish and chips. I have never had this happen from the food at spoons. I am so sorry to have to give this place a bad review but something needs to seriously be done about the food standards

Typical British pub/bar, very energetic and lively, drinks flowing consistently, staff seemed nice enough, though they were obviously rushed off of their feet, service seemed alright for the time we went in, and we didn't have to wait forever for our food, however, I did order a medium-well steak and it showed up mooing🐄, not something that's hard to correct though, which they did .

Servicio al cliente de una estrella Visité estas cucharas y pedí el Pollo Coreano Pegajoso con refrigeradores de frutas. Las bebidas salieron muy rápido, la camarera ni siquiera dijo nada, simplemente las puso en la mesa y se fue. Alrededor de 15 minutos más tarde llegó nuestra comida, de nuevo clavada en la mesa sin decir una palabra, uno de los platos estaba frío. Fui al bar, la camarera me ignoró así que tuve que decir “disculpe esta comida que nos han servido está fría” su respuesta “¡fría está...!” Mientras volvía los ojos, le pregunté si podía disculparme, la camarera dijo “seguro” en un tono sarcástico y reacio y se fue. Me quejé con el subgerente de turno que era muy disculpado y reemplazó la comida y ofreció un plato de cortesía en la casa. Desafortunadamente la experiencia de esta encantadora camarera nos ha alejado de estas cucharas. No 5 * esperado, pero los modales no cuestan nada, es comprensible que a veces la comida se enfríe y las cosas pasan, pero ser tan abruptamente sarcástico y grosero me ha postergado. Otros comentarios muy similares.

Absolutamente horrible. Fuimos a desayunar y de inmediato las cosas no estaban bien. Tuve que forzar un buen día a la persona que recibía órdenes detrás de la barra. Luego salió el desayuno, la tostada era pan caliente sin color y el desayuno en sí era frío como el plato. Otros miembros de nuestro grupo tuvieron dolores de estómago después. El servicio estaba claramente descontento de estar allí.

Usual Wetherspoon menu but well served and efficient staff made for a pleasant experience. The building was the old cinema and has been tastefully converted to a 2 storey pub restaurant. Great value compared to other local restaurants, especially for the drinks.

Had breakfast with 3 friends. Lovely building. Food was hot and tasty. Free refill coffees winner.

A good wetherspoon under good management. The service was very good and very helpfully. We enjoyed our stay in Cambridge.

Food isn't great but it's pub food so expected. It's cheap though! But there's lots of old people here

It’s a Wetherspoons. A large mixed grill and a pint for about £13. At that price you can’t complain, it’s good

Food was tasty, cheap, filling and fast. The rowdy students made me decide to switch tables but that's a Wetherspoons in a university city late at night I guess

A nice experience. Staff were friendly and service was fast. Food and drink perfect for a budget city visit.

Busy place with a fantastic atmosphere 😁

Old cinema in Cambridge beautifully restored and created into a pub restaurant on two floors. Good food at excellent prices and wide variety of drinks, full of students and you can see why. We go regularly. Still just as good on 24th June 2024. So much better value than the other pub restaurants in the area.

Love this place, good atmosphere friendly staff. Food always good and I love an aperol spritz here too 😋

Got told the only option for the steak on the mixed grill was well done. Found that very bizarre. Staff were mostly lovely but the waitress downstairs said they don't serve food outside whilst the upstairs staff had no problem with us sitting outside. Very very strange place.

Love it. Wetherspoons are the best and this one is no exception!

Nice venue - slow service even for drinks waited about 25 mins b4 drinks were brought to our table but was in good company so wasn't too bad. Fish n chips I've had many times b4 in a spoons but this was awful - I would say more a fish finger. Food took about 40 mins to arrive.

Can't really go wrong with Spoons. Drinks here are certainly not a cheap as other witherspoons I've been to around the country. But still a lot cheaper than a pub I reviewed earlier in Cambridge. Staff are pleasant, What I don't understand is you order a pitcher of cocktail, But you have to ask for a glass to drink it , do they think you will drink it straight from the jug 🤔. This has happened in other spoons we have been to. If we are in a town or city we always head for a spoons if its walking distance from were we are.

Este es un por debajo de la media Cucharas, solo vinimos a tomar una bebida (Vodka y Cocas) , el personal era absolutamente bien, pero la batidora era de mala calidad, muy débil y sin efervescencia. No comí aquí, así que no puedo comentar sobre la comida. El problema más grande era el lugar apestaba a humo, así que dondequiera que esté el área para fumar es necesario moverla o al menos asegurarse de que las puertas estén cerradas. Sigue prohibiendo fumar en los jardines de los pubs.

The food was cold when it was served and tasted like cardboard the pizza was really fin also, the man was picking his nose behind the counter and wasn’t washing his hands for example it wasn’t that busy and the service should be better and more efficient

Good service and food at a great price

It's a spoons, what more can be said. Run of the mill food.

More of what you expect out of a wetherspoons did not try food but expect it ill be served good as staff were pleasant and attentative

Excellent meal for my family. Thank you!

Lovely pub with reasonably priced food and good atmosphere. What's not to like?

Just had one beer w currant juice

Whenever I ran out of ideas or do not know the area I always look out for a Weatherspoon branch. The American burgers should be called British burgers. We were expecting American portion. Instead they were very small for American style burgers.

Cheap food good beer easily accessible in Cambridge Town centre highly recommended

Pleasant, vast pub by weather spoons in an old cinema. Busy, hectic with variety of customers. Wasn't disappointed but have had better meals, staff appeared overstretched but were polite.

It's a spoons but it was a very nice one

Considering how busy they are every evening, especially on weekends, the interior + facilities are surprisingly clean. Quick service from friendly bar staff, and good value food. The only let down is I was accidentally served alcoholic beverages twice, after ordering on the app. I noticed, and returned them to the bar, however could potentially be dangerous for those with allergies/drivers.

Spent £60 on food and drink burger burnt, ice cream small and crappy. Loads of agro from the waitress when a beef rather than chicken burger turned up. Go somewhere else.

Nice family pub, great service and nice food.

The biggest and maybe the best pub in Cambridge!

Food is ok, the atmosphere dull and disappointing

Spoons, it is what it is! It's not bad but it gets very busy. The drinks are the cheapest you will find in a Cambridge pub.

Cosy place to sit . Air Conditioner is working really good :)

The food was ok and the beer to

Food quality went down and portion sizes smaller. Used to be much better couple years ago. The beer is still cheap. Order via the app quick and convenient

Old cinema that’s been converted to a Spoons. Nice old building. Good service from the staff. Highlight has to be the toilets being easy to get to. You don’t have to walk for miles to get there 😄

The breakfasts costs more than at other spoons, had to ask for the mushroom, food was cold, bacon not cooked.

Vast restored picture house with ample seating inside and out. Usual range of cheap beer and food and friendly efficient staff.

Ordered 2 very well done gourmet sirloin steaks over the lunch time on 7th August, unfortunately when they turned up they were nicely cooked on the outside but bleeding inside, not only that but both steaks were as tough as old boots. Service was excellent as was the included beers. Not cheap at £16 each and expected better. This is the second steak we have tried at a Wetherspoon and it will be the last time.

Very impressive,well done wetherspoons. Good all round fully recomend.

Back again. This time, we tried the pizzas on recommendation. Very nice.

buttermilk fried chicken burnt and hard :( ruined my whole day

Battle site, cheap food but nothing else. It's full of noisy teenagers. If you are looking for "Gandia Shore" type people, this is your place.

Not too busy, two floors and in the City Centre. Good food and staff. Meal and Drink for £12.

Good value for money, would say it needs up dating decorative and may less tables just not a pleasurable sit to have a proper conversation as too many people of which is a good thing too.

Service is prompt, but serving cold food as a standard is disgusting. I understand you go to wetherspoons for a cheap meal but you at least expect it to be warmer than the Arctic. Wouldn't recommend unless you're desperate.

Visiting a mate at the Cambridge Uni, never been to Cambridge before but there's ALWAYS a 'Spoons. Proceeded to use the app to order my usual (pint and a burger meal deal) I placed the order but needed to use the loo, I informed one of the servers behind the bar that I'd placed an order for my table and if the pint and or food arrived and I wasn't there, I was in the loo. (At this time it wasn't busy and it never got any more busier than when I first entered.) Got back from the loo and the table had been filled (4 top), went to the bar to let them know someone had sat on my table and if I could change my table and have my food sent there from the kitchen. The barman that served me (who also happened to be the same one I informed I'd placed an order but was about to use the loo) was quite churlish and moody, he seemed to be OK serving guests he served before and after me, though. He had to be reminded that he needed to pour me a pint to go with my meal, almost gave me a pint that had been started and sat by the taps for a good 5 minutes and then the pint he DID bring had been sat on the bar since I'd placed the order, (10+ minutes?) surely it should have been a fresh pint? He was also quite indignant in asking to see a receipt for the order placed though I think this more from a personal than professional place. I placed my order via the app at 13:24 as of writing this review I'd waited almost an hour for my meal and no sign of it. I'm from Leeds, originally and I've been frequenting Wetherspoon pubs almost as long as I've been a chef, just about 30 years. This is without a doubt the WORST service I've ever had in a Wetherspoon's pub. And so to compound and finish off the UKs best review of a Spoons Iwent to the bar to request a refund for the burger I didn't receive after waiting for an hour to be told (by someone that's was obviously a supervisor and not management), that I couldn't/wouldn't receive a refund because the burger had been sent out and returned while I was waiting in a queue to tell the server behind that bar that I was no longer at my table. He begrudgingly agreed to send out a fresh burger, rather than my receiving the burger originally ordered over an hour ago, and then to add insult to injury the burger STILL went to the wrong table when it eventually came out. If I'd been a mystery/secret shopper, this would have been low marks across the board, and that's before we even get into the state of some of the cubicles in the toilets so early on the day on a Sunday. I should make it VERY clear, I have no qualms about 'Spoons or the food, it is what it is, 2 stars is a standard. But it truly is some of the worst service I've ever received in a pub and I've spent a good 12 of my 30 years as a chef working in Gastropubs in London.

Pretty bad service. The staff are outright rude. I had gone up to the counter to collect a doggy bag for my leftover food, they kept ignoring me and this went on until 5 minutes later when someone said okay and that they'll get me one. I went back to my table to find that the food and drink had been taken away and the table cleared, despite my handbah, phone and glasses being there on the table. I mentioned this to the staff who rudely said they can't do anything about it. Really bad service, not worth going.

Food was not what we ordered, they refused to let us change our meal, the food was cold and there was a pube in my coke. NEVER going back there. Eddie with long hair who looks like a skate boarder is who refused to give us what we ordered. Cheers Eddie.

A nice place to have lunch. The outdoor balcony is very nice. Shrinkflation has taken it's toll on the size of burgers but a beer and a burger for about £5 is an excellent deal.

Tea was cold and not a fan of their food

Very quick service and good prices.

Great order! Great service! I paid for the order and waited 20 minutes, it turns out they simply forgot about me. There weren't many people there; everyone around quickly got breakfast. I'm the only one who's lucky. By the way, the sausages taste disgusting 23.07.2024 "Eat, dear guests". I have no words. Your service gets worse every time (this is with an empty establishment at 9:30 am)

Possibly the largest wetherspoons I've been to. Nicely decorated and plenty of space so it didn't feel overcrowded. The staff were really fast and efficient so getting served was painless. Food as always was to the usual wetherspoons standard, if you are visiting Cambridge, this is a great and reasonably priced pub, so well worth a visit

Am having to revise my earlier ratings. The curry came with an unintelligently microwaved naan and the cask ales have been increased to be more expensive than central London. That's a disappointment. They are also stingy with napkins so tables are dirtier when patrons leave makes no sense!!!!

One of my favourite wetherspoons..especially the atmosphere outside and drinks so reasonable..Great in the summer

the place is comfortable and the food apcettable acceptable but the personal is rude and aggressive five guys is 10 times better dont recommend to my worst enemy

The members of the staff were really rude with no reason and the food wasn’t even that good. I don’t recommend it. Go to five guys

very very bad service and very rude. Food has no quality the place is not bad but there are lots of ludopatic

Good variety of food at a price which beats most other places for value. The lighting is quite dim and there is a persistent smell of alcohol, as expected from a night venue. Portion size is dependent upon what you get. My daughter ordered a pasta dish which was inadequately small.

Staff knowledge of food and drinks so poor, If its not on the till they don't know. At one point asked for a whisky and coke, got a vodka and coke, staff need to be more attentive.

Very good service. Staff courteous and polite.

All good until encounter with unnecessarily and aggressively rude member of staff-the assistant manager I think, due to their failure to bring our drinks to our table. We ordered on the app and we’re told to order at the bar. Shame, because everyone other than her were friendly and efficient.

Typical example of a Wetherspoon outlet with good range of beers and food at good prices.

The Regal is dependable; it’s there when you need it. The Google review doesn’t ask about that, so I figure I include it here so that you consider it when you want to find a place to: 1. Have decent warm food for a reasonable price; 2. Need a place to do work (thanks for the free wifi!); 3. Need to recover from jet lag after an international flight. It’s a place for families, so sometimes you’ll sit next to a crying baby… but that’s part of the spice of life. My experiences with the staff have always been top notch.

The food overall after eating there on several occasions is hit and miss. Personally on the miss most times.. definitely the most consistent poor Guinness that I've ever been unfortunate to purchase from all the wetherspoons on my travels. I actually drink San Miguel instead if I call in with friends.. I must say also that it's one of the most expensive off the company but definitely doesn't stand up to the price...very poor!

Bloody blimey this wetherspoon is the best you can get

My favourite go-to spoons and usually faultless. However, I tried to go yesterday with my 15 yo daughter for a bite to eat (like we usually do) after shopping and was told by the security that there was no children allowed due to the football ! We were there just before 4pm and only wanted a meal and would have been out before it started anyway. Not very happy with this policy as they only have tiny tv's and I can't imagine it would have been any busier than usual.

So convenient for the Arts by theatre. Great breakfast.

Had breakfast here. Was good value for money.
