The Regal - Wetherspoons in Cambridge - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

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.

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

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

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.

Is it worth reviewing a Spoon's? Aren't they all the same? No. They should be, but some branches deliver better than others. For me, on first visit, the Regal was one of the best I've been in. Despite being busy, the service was fast and friendly. They seemed fully staffed; and the tables were being cleared and cleaned quickly. The whole large venue seemed well cleaned. Wetherspoon, you have a good crew here!

Say what you will 'Widderspins' as my partner calls it is a winner. The Regal is a particularly big one and placed next to the Picturehouse is an ideal place for a drink or meal before or after a film. Service is fine and hey prices are very competitive. For example any two large glasses of wine here for the same price as one small one in the cinema. And there are plenty of deals on food. We are fans

Service was quick and food was fine - know what you are getting with Wetherspoons and it is always good value for money!

Came here before a night out with some friends. We all got drinks and then out our table number on our social media stories hoping that other people would order drinks to our table. When the waiter came he put down all of our drinks...

I cant really fault this Spoons. The interior is very original and links back to its heritage as do many others. Drinks are reasonable but more expensive than other spoons but given the other prices we saw in the city good value. Food was ok...

I wasn’t impressed how the staff spoke to a group of young people. They are all paying customers and were not doing anything remotely antisocial. Was uncomfortable to watch so won’t come here again.

Customers should know the cost of what they have ordered before paying, £5,95 + 2.99 is not £12.84. Please check.

My friends and I came here for lunch on a trip to the theatre for school. We ordered our food which came out pretty fast, we also ordered our drinks, 2 of which had to be replaced because my friends didnt have their ID. We...

Once, I was handled quite brutally by a bouncer here. A friend walking past had recognised me and sat on my table (I had no part in this). Since this was COVID times, the bouncers took an issue and told us all to leave. I...

We popped in for breakfast on a shopping trip at 11am. It was reasonably busy, but it’s a spoons. Ordered breakfast at the bar, 35 mins later no food had arrived. With tables who ordered after us had received food. Spoke to the manager who...

We stayed in Cambridge for a couple of nights and The Regal was perfect for our evening meal with a couple of pints. They had a good deal on draft Koppenberg Strawberry and Lime while we were there which was most refreshing after a hot...

My girlfriend and I was shopping in Cambridge and just fancied a spot of lunch, chose spoons because it’s cheap and cheerful, good service food came on time and didn’t taste as like it had been warmed up by a microwave

Pub típico inglés. Muy grande con terraza. Sirven todo tipo de comidaa y bebida, gran gran variedad. La comida estaá...

On a day trip to Cambridge and a welcome site for lunch. Interesting venue as an old Cinema which has kept a lot of its character. We sat well inside and perhaps we could have done with a little more lighting but we went in...

Alex has reached unspeakable levels of quirkiness and chad activities throughout his experience in Regal Wetherspoons, even tho he is a minority I can tell he is quite included in his work space. Once you go black you don't go back, as I've heard, apparently,...

I've been 'on the road' for a while so (places like) Wetherspoons play a large part of my routine. The Regal in Cambridge was a big let down. Slow Service, filthy cutlery; this took 3/4 minutes to replace while my food went cold. In addition...

Went here in May this year & found it to be very clean,friendly & stunningly beautiful inside as a lot of Wetherspoons are. No hesitation in recommending this place whatsoever ,there are not many "Spoons" we have not been to but this one is excellent...

Went here after visiting Botanical gardens. We were disappointed as the meals we chose were not available. No pasta dish, no chicken dish and no pancakes for desert. Had to order something else.

Quite a large Wetherspoons so plenty of seats and you get a bit of space around you. Service at bar was a bit slow but had the pizza meal deal and it was good value for the money as always.

Staff rude, tables filled with plates and drinks, tables filthy and to top it all off hair was found in two kids dinners. Tried to complain and staff were aggressive.

I went in and had horrible service the manager was screaming at a young worker. The food was horrible and the drinks were slow to come.

Beer was lovely and a good selection on a busy Saturday lunchtime. The steak I ordered £10 + was literally inedible.....very tough and couldn't swallow it. Buy the cheap beer don't buy the overpriced very poor quality steak

We arrived in the city and came for brunch before looking around the city. Staff friendly, courteous and polite. Food came as expected and without delay. Clean and a typical Wetherspoons as you would expect.

The chicken was rubbery and the curry sauce looked like diarrhea. It tasted like water mixed with black pepper. The nachos were all crushed up like it was the bottom of the bag and was stale. Not fun. Good for drinking though ;)

Superb value breakfast, v. pleasant engagement with staff. Spacious and clean. My preferred payment was not working at my first choice. I walked to Cote and thought 'do I want to be paying their prices' and it seems that not a lot of people did....

popped in wetherspoons- why i don't know as there are loads of pubs in Cambridge- anyway reasonable priced beer and food. And toilets not 2 flights up the stairs or in the basement.

Sorry but this is a negative review. Ordered a Sirlioin steak cooked medium and was unfortunatley presented with a bit of virtually raw piece of bootleather. Upon complainining i recieved a cursory ' Oh Sorry about that'. No offer to produce a piece of meat...

Just your standard wetherspoons. Plenty of tables and food arrived quickly as you would expect. The food was cooked to an equally high standard as others. Staff perhaps not as friendly as others though.

We went as a family and some of use got out food in 10 minutes the rest of use had to go up and ask where a food was after 25 mins and one of use sat there waiting for his food for 45 mins...

Standard Wetherspoons. Ordered on the app, everything arrived very quickly and was as expected. Very good value.

Ordered our meal via the app. It turned up with no drinks. The waiter told us that drinks hadn’t been on the order and he was too busy to deal with it. He advised us to go to the bar and speak to them and...

We popped in en route to a venue as a group and this is a magnificent Wetherspoons and clearly popular at all times. Table ordering was fast and efficient as always, and the staff were very friendly and welcoming in a fast busy city location....

I sat outside with my friend and had a couple of drinks , I also had some food. The food came out very quick and for the price of the food I can’t complain, the staff also were very helpful and nice. Thank you

Denied access due to being “too drunk” whilst waiting in the queue to get in. The manager approached us and said “they think you’ve had too much to drink so there is not point waiting in the queue” - ridiculous, when you haven’t touched any...

Myself and my friend were turned away at 11.30pm on a Saturday night by the manager because he said they was shut. Even though their opening hours are until 1am, he let about 8/10 people in front of us in but then insisted to everyone...

A typical Wetherspoons pub. Very welcome in a town which up to nearly £6 a pint. Can’t go wrong with a pizza from Wetherspoons.

Went there early (5 ish) with a friend who had been driving all day and so was and he momentarily fell asleep at the table before I woke him up. Egotistical manager noticed this and asked my friend and I to leave for being too...

This wetherspoons was near our Hotel. It really was splendid inside and you could imagine it in its cinema days. The covid rules were adhered to and we used our NHS track and trace app to check in. Ordering food was simple using the Wetgerspoon's...

This is the only pub i have experienced door staff with a real attitude problem to wards customers. They bully, intimidate and pick on customers for no reason, witnessed random customers ask to leave for no reason, this has plagued this pub for months, Myself...

The same as any wetherspoons but it's inside an old theatre so looks really cool and was one of the better ones I've been to

After entering the Wetherspoons pub someone on door have you scanned the nhs q reader I said yes then have you the app to order I said yes. Found my seat and ordered my drink. If I didn’t have the app they give you a...

Food is pretty good. Vegan options as well. But it is freezing! All doors are wide open for some reason. Also very dark.

Extremely rude and obstructive door staff. Spoken to like an idiot and very passive aggressive. Visiting at 1630 in the afternoon for a quiet beer, doesn’t warrant the aggressive behaviour from door staff. Waitress providing table service was lovely and very attentive. Disappointed by the...

Having visited the pub with 10 friends arriving at different intervals(4 married couples 3 singles) we completed the track and trace forms as requested and used the hand sanitizer.(average age 55 years old)We selected our respective seating which consisted of 3 tables (2 x 4...

Well set out for social distancing and the bar staff were very friendly and helpful .I ordered the Ultimate Burger and Chips .I came quote quick the waitress wasn't very friendly she just plonked it down and went to walk away I asked for some...

We went to the Regal last night for some dinner. We all had our mains no problem but came to order dessert to find out from the app that there were no desserts available. It was only 6.30pm so not as if they had run...

My friends and I ( a group of 6) went to regal for my leaving drinks and we bumped into a couple other people, who came and said hello and sat away from us talking to us, on a different table, the ginger manager came...

Very good on social distancing and the set out is very good. But unfortunately the table to disgustingly dirty , one member staff was not friendly when serving drinks like slamming drink on table . A bit more work needs to go in their hygiene...

Stayed in cambridge went there 3 tines well staffed well organised thank you breakfast was brilliant

i decided to have a breakfast there and because of the covid 19 the prices were cut and i had a lovley breakfast for just £2.99 well worth the money and more

My friend and I queued for ages, they asked for ID(which my friend did not have). We were turned away but the two boys behind us got int (who we got to know while queuing). Security got rude when we enquired and I took picture...

Enjoyed a pleasant lunch here on a Saturday after lockdown. It was busy but we found a table and a member of staff was quick to clean it for us. Used the app to order which we find works like a dream in just about...

If I could give it zero stars I would. Came here with my sister and my mate neither had ID but I ordered some wkds for myself to have. They asked my sister for ID and my mate even though I explained that they were...

You know what your going to get in Wetherspoons although we went in today after reading the boss is not closing any of the pubs during the corona virus outbreak unlike a lot of places. Had beer then ordered 2 veggie burgers and 2 drinks...

The Regal Wetherspoon, Saturday night 14th March, it was 00:35 and I was at the bar waiting to be served. I was alone, until another customer comes after me and gets served straight away by a “staff trainer”. When I try to make her notice...

They said the interior was spacious and a pleasure to sit in. They said the bar staff were friendly. They said drinks were served with a smile. They said it was value for money here. I say believe them, without doubt the best Wetherspoons I...

Busy bar with great pint selection located in the middle of the city. Cheap beer and ok food. Good for a quick pause while walking the city

I love the Regal it's a beautiful building in a beautiful place, serves good well priced food and drink and is bustling with people all day so luckily the building is big enough. It's a typical JD wetherspoons.

We visited the The Regal on a Sunday afternoon for a couple of drinks, as always it was good value, this Wetherspoons is however very nice inside.

So I came into the regal today with my friend to have a couple of drinks. I went up to the till to pay for ‘Pornstar Martine’ and the ‘Sex on the Beach’ they ID me and never asked if I had friend with me...

I like Wetherspoons so am somewhat disappointed to not give this experience a good review. The place is huge, and being about 0930 it was not very busy. So all the more reason to expect a piping hot breakfast, the egg was hot as was...

The university city of Cambridge has just one Wetherspoons pub, which is an old cinema in the centre of town. Because of its past, the pub has a large footprint with tables and dining space on many levels. There were door-staff on the entrance who...

Saturday afternoon drinking stop. No complaints, prices are very good for Cambridge, worth starting here before moving on to the more expensive bars. Staff are over-worked but do their best.

This is one of the cheepest places to eat and drink in Cambridge City center, nice atmosphere, good cheep food selection, and price of ale is £2+ cheeper than most of the pubs in Cambridge center, good place to meet up for first few drinks

Was having a quiet pint in the corner when four bouncers and a member of staff came over to throw me and my friends out. They claimed we had 'obviously' been taking something. This was honestly laughable. Please start hiring people with some sense.

Four of us ate here while in Cambridge on business. The bar staff were friendly but the main courses were slow in delivery. My steak was a bit on the medium side given I ordered medium rare and it was very fatty but tasted decent...

This is a large building that’s looking a little tired but we can’t complain about the food. Great value for money, hot, tasty food, good service and friendly staff.

Just had lunch here. I had chicken burger chips and onion rings and it was awful. The chicken and chips were luke warm at best and the onion rings were so hard and over cooked you could bounce them off the floor. Will not be...

Rude work staff, food always comes cold, drink is always hot, bad music. I do not recommend you go here, there are other much better pubs/restaurants in Cambridge.

Staffs are ridiculous rude and if you complain about it you get kicked out with no reason. Terrible service

I used to really like this place and come here a lot, but the WiFi is always broken these days. There seems to be another network called M2M_IoT that sits over _The_Cloud and makes it impossible to connect.

Split levels, and balcony, although the latter was closed on a Sunday lunchtime when we called. I’ve been before and had no hesitation in going again with a family group and baby. There are a few little areas tucked away in corners that are great...

We entered the Regalvaround 4.30pm, was busy as you would expect, for once there was no long queue at the bar. We proceeded to order our drinks from the top bar, there seemed to be a bit of a language barrier as our first drink...

I love how Wetherspoons takes over old buildings and turns them into thriving pubs and this used to be a cinema and is a lovely building. We were visiting the town as we were on a coach holiday and although we often dine at Wetherspoons,...

Just what I've come to expect from all Wetherspoons now. Staff who would rather be somewhere else and tables covered with dirty plates and glasses! However, if you can turn a blind eye and don't mind clearing the table yourself it is reasonably good value...

I visited here a couple of weekends ago with my girlfriend and our friends. We popped by in the daytime and thought it looked like a great pub, so we agreed to return in the evening for some food and drinks. When got there in...

Frazzled half term mum of son with autism, ADHD and little sleep. Having just about managed to get cup of tea whilst stopping him pressing endless buttons, was in need of a refill. Fully aware not paying for 'table service' but when I explained how...

I already had a very bad opinion about this place but the other night there was my fiends birthday so we had no choice but to go there as this is where she wanted to go. My partner and I went to one of the...

I know this is a Weatherspoons and they are very popular and busy, but we chose to eat here on a Saturday night, and found it completely diffferent from the Friday night. We ordered food, and before it had even arrived the stafff were trying...

Ok if you are an overseas visitor looking for a traditional British pub. Then you are in the wrong place and should head out of town to find the real thing. If you are looking for somewhere to meet friends, or get lunch whilst shopping....

I’m fed up of the bored looking, rude staff ignoring me at the bar. Employ more friendly staff please and in greater numbers.

I went with my daughter before going for lunch We asked what deals they had on Bottles of Wine ..no one behind the Bar knew of any ??? So we bought a bottle of Prosecco and after drinking it went to a lovely Restaurant for...

Excellent pint of Elgoods Geese, served quickly, and had roasted veg pizza and bowl of chips very tasty and it arrived quickly.Two drinks pizza and chips £12, you know what you are getting at Spoons (well most of them), decent ale and food and great...

I never have a good experience when I come to The Regal. There’s never any sweet chilli sauce, the halloumi fries are always burnt to a crisp and every meal comes with maximum 6 chips. Obviously I understand you get what you pay for but...

It was a Saturday afternoon, so a busy day as we went upstairs and found a table to eat which was near the bar area. We ordered off the app as it’s easy to do and saves time queueing . I had the grilled chicken...

I like Wetherspoon's, I'm going to get reasonable food at a reasonable price, with no frills. this is exactly what you get when you go to the Regal - on the two occasions I visited, it was very busy which has to be a good...

An interesting building in a former cinema. Plenty of seating, a large building. Liked the carpet with film roll design , a nice touch and info on building history. Good value for food and drinks. We were visiting Cambridge and this was good location for...

The atmosphere was lively and very family friendly towards my young children. Will be returning to this establishment!

I really tried to eat the chicken, brie and smoky chilli jam burger but is horrible. The chicken is hard like a stone, the bread is not consistent and the sauce is sugared. No words!!!!

Nearly every Friday me and the girlfriend meet at the Regal and we like to go there on Friday we like to sit in the alcove at the front where it is normally quite and you can hear your self speak. But last Friday the...

Popped in first thing for a coffee and then went back lunchtime to have something to eat and a couple of beers. This is a typical Spoons where the beer is cold and the food is hot and filling, so no complaints from us. This...

We went to The Regal for breakfast and were very impressed. The service was friendly and the food we ordered arrived very quickly. I had the big breakfast which was very tasty, plenty of it and really good value, my wife had the Eggs Royale...

Lovely place the food is great and the girl who’s like 5ft6 with dark brown hair is a beaut😍 thanks for the great service deffo coming back

Went for a casual meal with me, my husband and my two kiddies. Atmosphere was really nice and tables were clean and organised. When ordering food, I had a few questions regarding allergies and I would like to highlight the exceptional help I received from...

Just a standard spoons. Food you know exactly what you’re getting - neither good nor bad. Slightly cramped - the tables are all very close to each other but it’s workable. Does sort of help give it a good atmosphere! Set in an old cinema...

Visited for a quick bite with a few work colleagues. We wanted somewhere that did breakfast as well as lunch but were struggling as very few places were open before 11am. The regal was in proximity and has something for everyone. It needed to be...
