The Tram Depot in Cambridge

Quiet when we went but staff helpful.

Visited with a small group of friends for lunch and later for a drink. Its not that close to the centre so wasn't busy. The good pub vibe atmosphere was sadly lacking but the beers were great and the food good - though a little limited due to kitchen issues. Highly recommend the homemade Scotch egg! Lunchtime staff seemed friendlier and more interested than the evening staff. Happily return for the beers and food - especially lunchtime.

We happened to be passing and popped in for a drink. The bar staff was very friendly and helpful. We would return

A little overpriced, but it's a great place to meet up with friends. Live jazz every other Sunday is cool

We went to a taster session of a new menu here as they was relaunching the new menu and cocktails etc... I can say the food was amazing so we had sharers of bitezise meals off the menu, starters mains and deserts. Absolutely amazing, the place was lovely and quaint. The new head chef came to every table who attended the session to ask for feedback and to make sure we was okay, the food is locally sourced. Just absolutely amazing. The owners were around making sure everyone was okay but ultimately left it to the staff who was attentive and welcoming and knew what they were doing! Will be back.

Great pub, lovely atmosphere, just quite expensive but that's what you get for being near the centre of town!

We went there after Uni with friends. The place is beautiful, and i liked the atmosphere. The food, though not for my taste. I ordered a cider and a classic burger. The meat of the burger was bad, I only liked the side chips (which i had to pay more to add them because originally the burger doesn't come with chips). Overpriced for the quality they offer. Recommended for drinks only!

Lovely lunch with a free soft drink. Perfect lunchtime portions size and great quality options. I got the scampi and chips and it was cooked to perfection. Good selection of drinks to choose from and lovely service all round. This used to be my pub of choice when I first moved to Cambridge. Good to see that it hasnt changed too much. Thank you for a lovely afternoon.

Nice place but we were very disappointed about our meals which should have been composed of mushy peas ! Our plates provided chips and salad but no peas !! We had to ask for the peas and the waitress told us, after we had started eaten that there were not any peas available and had been replaced by some leaves of salad.

Saturday 17th August lunch time. Thought I’d grab a quick pint as I walking by. Took 15mins to get a drink with 2 girls debating what to order for food whilst at the bar. Bartender (brunette girl) kept looking over as to say sorry but continued to enable the 2 girls who couldn’t make up their mind whilst other customers who clearly wanted a drink waited. (Brunette woman) who was the Only 1 server the whole time, can tell she was exhausted / half asleep. When asked by 2 other people who had waited a while to order food, said “do you need help behind there”. The bartender reply was, “people need to be patient” I witnessed numerous customers walk out after waiting at the bar to be greeted by no one. The only server there (brunette girl) was rushing about serving food. Very unprofessional to have 1 staff member doing everything. Especially on a busy Saturday lunch time. Poor.

Can't comment on food as didn't have any. Fantastic atmosphere. Nice staff.

Fab place to go with friends, we just stumbled across it thinking to stop for one, but the staff were absolutely amazing, so ended up staying for the afternoon. After talking to staff I understand the company has recently changed, so images might not be something they are still doing. They do have an amazing selection of craft beers, wines and the food was just simply delicious! We got a couple of selections from their socials menu and it was great value for money, quality, fresh and filling. It was also great for watching the Euros with plenty of screens!! Good job guys I'll definitely be back!

The Popup Speakeasy jazz event of 1/5/24 was a memorable experience: well organised, great performers all round, very pleasant atmosphere and a well-behaved appreciative audience. The choice of music was a well selected mixture of traditional gems and some more eclectic pieces, all performed with passion, as indeed was the singing. We would attend regularly, if only we did not live in London!

First visit this evening for some dinner, great atmosphere and music, abba night. Food was absolutely unreal, loved it. Staff are a complete vibe, all very nice, great team. Sad I didn't get a picture before we polished the food off tbh 😅 thank you 😊

Lovely and spacious pub - staff are very friendly and welcoming.

Great place. JAZZ night every alternate Sunday from 8pm. Great Jazz..

Great jazz on the 1st Wednesday of every month!

I was surprised by a jazz band on the Saturday before Easter. They play jazz standards by notes..they are all trained musicians. Saxophonist extraordinaire.

Good jazz, good choice of beers.

Just amazing! So friendly, great food at very fair prices and brilliant selection of drinks. Staff were just super.

Fancying some food we could all share as we watched the rugby we decided to go for the 5 for £32 dishes from social menu. Firstly they tried to charge me £42 and then when the food arrived what a disappointment! The smallest portions of food for over £30….3 chunks of Brie, 6 tiny prawns on a lettuce leaf, 3 slices of chorizo, tiny bites of calamari, and 4 burnt halloumi fries. We complained but nothing was done and they were totally unbothered. Appalling!!

Staff: amazing Vibes: great Food: tasty Portion sizes: terrible Overall a lovely place with amazing staff and vibes, the price to portion size is terrible. See the jerk chicken for £9 pounds

Lovely venue for drinks and food! Super staff

The jazz venue of cambridge! Excellent music.

Very disappointed Burger no fries included for the price seems crazy Quiche bar snack you had cold nothing with it £6 not good and had to peel off the tin. Chilli fries over priced as had more sour crème than chips Been loads before but this was not good at all. Especially for £70 Will not return unfortunately

Great sweet potato chips, good burgers, quality food usually, good portion too. The only downside is that this is not a family friendly pub, no children allowed, not even for a Sunday lunch.

Went there for a jazz night...Good atmosphere, good customer service and a wonderful band...will go again if there is a jazz night😉

Plenty of space, great staff and good amount of beer selection to drink.

Great food, loaded fries is a must! and such a friendly and efficient service 5☆

Fantastic pub I've been going for years such a same John's leaving. It's the best place for real ales and the tiger ale is the best .I would definitely recommend it

Great selections of draft lagers and old ales . Excellent bar foods

Had a private party here and everything was amazing! The food was delicious, the service wonderful, and a great range of drinks. The quiches especially were great. Will be back soon.

Love this place, whenever we visit Cambridge we have to pop in. There is a fantastic range of beers and the food is very good. Can highly recommend the dirty fries with brisket

Good wheelchair access. Although the toilet should not be in the restaurant/bar area, it is very embarrassing 😳 Good service, food looked lovely, although did not sample.

I am much improving my previous review here (which was about three stars overall). Is this place under a new management? Their chips were super crispy, and the burger was a very nice one. Keep this up! Please! A huge improvement since my last visit a couple of years ago. Minuses are minor, I really don't want onion rings on my plate unless asked for. And please, give me more greens. A small salad or something. Or at least an option for a salad.

Excellent place for food, drink, service and kindly patrons.

Fabulous pub Google need to review their pub finding app as this should be on everyone's list

Nice atmosphere, good food and friendly staff. Worth a visit.

Great food great service if your in Cambridge this place has got to be on your list to visit

Excellent variety of food.. can't fault anything that was for ordered.Service by staff was very friendly and helpful will certainly be returning

Il be back,nice place,good choice of beers

Ordered some coffee and chilled. Tried to play piano at the corner however some customers, who were playing cards, made complaints to the waitress about the music and we have to stop. Typical god of pubs and I personally do not like them.

Molto accogliente. Un piccolo complessino ha allietato la nostra serata

Food was amazing just for loaded fries. Quiet as the students have gone home but great welcoming environment deffo recommend a trip!

really great live jazz music on Sunday nights

Absolutely great service between the owner and Sharon. Great to see the boss behind the bar instead of a desk and as much as Sharon is new, she's a fantastic bartender\server and will go a long way (bartending experience here) :)

No food but great variety of drinks with a knowledgeable staff

I've had a good experience every time I've been. It's kept clean, and the atmosphere has always been very relaxed. I haven't been on extremely busy nights so I can't speak to those however.

Nice food. Lots of vegan and veggie options.

Friendly, relaxed and welcoming pub with great choices of drink and food. Bar staff also really friendly.

We had a fantastic meal this lunch time. The nachos were the best I have had in a long time. The burger was amazing, be prepared for a lot of meat. The cheesy garlic bread was also amazing. Overall a great meal for a great price. Staff were very friendly and attentive. Will definitely be back to taste more of the menu👍🏼☺️

Really good food and large portions. A bit near some noisy building works, but I guess that will end soon

Stunning and amazing food. Exceeded my expectations being an in town pub opposite the ARU University. Top notch food for very reasonable prices. All very freshly cooked. We had a loaded nacho starter sharer, Cheesy garlic bread, goats cheese and beetroot salad and a pulled pork burger with fries and drink for under £40. The nachos and the cheesy garlic bread were the best ever.

Great place for a quiet drink. Interesting old building. Nice beer.

Cosy bar on a cold Monday evening. People playing games, having meetings, eating and chatting over a pint. Lots of nooks and crannies, a relaxing place.

One of the best local pub of Cambridge. Service is great and good selection of beers.

Lovely atmosphere and staff. Food is great with gluten free options available.

Très chouette pub qui propose aussi une carte de restauration variée. Nous avons été deux fois ravis des plats reçus. Ambiance très conviviale et personnel sympa

Great pub with friendly atmosphere and excellent selection of beer and food , an ideal stop off if you’re walking from the railway station to the football ground.

My friends and I stopped off at this gem of a pub on our march from the station to the Cambridge United v Charlton match. Great beers and lovely food. John the landlord is very friendly and maintains very high standards although he let us in.

Incredible burger! I stopped in here for a bite to eat and a drink after a long day. The staff are so friendly, the menu is great, and my burger was great! The best thing is that it didn’t break the bank! I will definitely be back- might even just become my regular spot.

We saw this place as we walked from our Premier Inn and decided to give it a try. What a find! A lovely old fashioned pub atmosphere with reasonable prices. On second visit we ate dinner which was excellent. Not too loud inside that you couldn’t talk and very relaxed and friendly. Super staff. Would highly recommend.

We were walking back to our hotel when we spotted the welcoming lights from this little, out of the way, pub. The decor and atmosphere was charming. The outdoor area was well heated without being stifling. The staff were friendly and knowledgeable. I shall be going again.

This is a very nice pub. The selection of drinks is varied and the quality is impeccable. But what makes this place is the staff - they are a very friendly and helpful bunch. One of the very best pubs in Cambridge and a bit of a hidden gem.

I have come here alone for lunch a few times when shopping. The Landlord, John, is a larger than life lovely genuine Fella with a pub he should be really proud of. Honestly, the food here is great! I am constantly drawn to have their Loaded fries and today I was not disappointed. Big John himself took my order and doubled as a graceful waitress :) I tried a new one 'Brisky Business!'...which was the most delicious brisket with crispy onions on top of beautifully cooked chips. I asked for the 'runny cheese to be subbed for normal melted cheese as that can be very rich and it was the best plate of food I've ever had there...just amazing. This place does simple food cooked really really well...all I hear while there are people thanking Big John for a fab meal. Pay them a visit, you won't be disappointed!

Visited this pub before going to a football match at Cambridge United. The pub is nicely decorated and has a lovely feel about it. I had a pizza which was huge and my son had sausage and mash which was in a giant Yorkshire pudding. This was washed done with a few pints of real ale. Great food and beer, with friendly service, what’s not to like.

Amazing hearty food. Had the jerk southern fried chicken burger and added bacon and cheese. It was sooooo delicious I can't move. My boyfriend built his own burger and went crazy creative, he looks insanely happy now. Staff is lovely and fast. Very nice and chilled atmosphere. Highly recommend!

I have just visited for my second time. My first visit was around 6 months ago, we stumbled across you, stopped for drinks and loved the atmosphere. My husband and I found you again, the homing device is working well. This time we had food too. I'm recently diagnosed coeliac, this was my first time eating out. I asked what was gluten free on the menu, to be told what did I want. Along with the explanation as to how every meal could be adapted, within reason. The gentleman then apologised as the GF pizza bases are smaller than non gf bases. I had the gf brie and bacon sandwich lovely, as was the coleslaw. My husband had the tram dog and was very happy. The bar maid was delightful and then a bar man who had worked there for a number of years took over and was warm and friendly. The regular customers who I have met during my visits have also added to my pleasant experience.

Organised my birthday drinks last night with a group of friends. The staffs were very accommodating. We were surprised by a live jazz music - they were so sweet and played happy birthday for me. The drinks were incredible (try Blue Moon!) and the chips and pizza were to die for! After such memorable night, I will definitely come back again.

Brilliant pub, great range of drinks and food. Staff were super friendly and welcoming. The man who greeted us (I assume the landlord) went above and beyond to find us a seat to watch the six nations. Would definitely recommend!

This place should be full though never is! Good if you want bit of time out from Cambridge, beers are excellent - why it always so quiet? Menu is very basic, burgers, pulled meat, chicken and nachos which though simple are tasty. Would recommend for...

Should have been alarmed as we walked in, no option to stand (as you do in pubs), needed a table! But as we had been at football, was freezing so wanted to warm up. It was like those days in May & June, you know...

Lights on, doors locked and nothing visible inside at 13.00 on a Saturday when the local University had its open day! Absolutely ridiculous especially signs outside advertised open from 12 and food available on all day

Stumbled across this bar when walking from accommodation to city centre. Really made to feel welcome, but not as much as we were when we returned later in the evening and everywhere else was shut! Thanks guys hopefully see you again soon!

Popped in here for a drink as it was a stone’s throw from where we were staying. The place looks good, and has a nice selection of drinks but the staff are the real shining stars here. Both the barman and the waiter could not...

The food is absolutely delicious and so fresh! The loaded fries were unbelievable and the service is great. Cannot fault at all!!!!

We went here for some drinks and Jack did an amazing job at accommodating us, making us laugh and feel welcome. We ended up staying for longer than we anticipated purely because we were having such a great time and so comfortable. He also made...

We waited 40 minutes for someone to get us an order. There were only two waitresses and the rest of the clients had the same problem.

Came in last night for a quick drink - staff are clearly working very hard with all the new measures! Polite and quick service, nice little outside area and from previous visits the food is good too!

After walking around trying to find somewhere nice to eat we stumbled upon the Tram Depot. After a warm welcoming we were shown to a table and our order was taken straight away. The waiter was friendly and knowledgeable. We both opted for the chicken...

Ate Sunday lunch at the Tram Depot,family of six, between us had everything, I had the belly pork, wife had roast beef grandma had veggie nut roast. We had a side of cauliflower cheese which was gorgeous. All empty plates except kids who seem to...

There isn't much to say about the Tram.. only that the food here is.. I'll put it this way, as a Zimbabwean native- I'd say that this is the best food I've had in the UK, and that includes visits over the years and my...

Me and my partner travelled down to try the new breakfast introduced at The Tram. We had the bacon bap and sausage, bacon and egg bap between the two of us and they were both delicious, the brioche bun really made it different to other...

Me and my friends are regular visitors to this lovely pub, and always have such a great time here! The staff go above and beyond to make sure you are well looked after and happy, and the whole atmosphere of the pub is great! But...

Mi esposo y yo nos encontramos con The Tram Depot en nuestro camino de regreso a nuestro hotel. Ambiente encantador, personal servicial. Luego comimos Dios mío, comí su pizza Big V y mi esposo comió pollo fajitas. IMPRESIONANTE la mejor comida que hemos tenido y la relación calidad-precio. 2 pintas de jugo de naranja y limonada, 2. 5 pinta de Peroni con nuestra comida 38. 64.Esté atento a The Tram Depot que vale la pena visitar, muy recomendable.

Parece que reemplazaron al chef hace un tiempo, o simplemente reformularon el menú, de cualquier manera, ¡estoy muy contento! La comida es increíble, el personal no podría ser más amable, incluso cuando se enfrentan a adversidades dentro del pub. Uno de los pocos pubs geniales en Cambridge, después de la caída del amado Hopbine. Es central, es barato, hay música en vivo todas las semanas, incluidas algunas increíbles bandas de jazz. Los niños no son bienvenidos en las mesas del bar, pero hay suficiente espacio sobre el área de espectáculos en vivo. También hay una gran selección de cervezas de barril, este lugar es ideal para una cena familiar, así como para una noche de bebida de pub.

Красивый бар с большой вместительностью. Есть дворик, где в теплое время можно посидеть на улице. Цены, как везде.

Visiting my sister and went out for a meal. Great place, polite and friendly bar tender. Food was awesome (burgers and sides). Deffinetly on our list of places to revisit.

Very friendly if a bit harassed staff. Made things simple for us, even though they were busy. Food is decent pub grub - stay on point for pub food like burgers, hot dogs etc.

Came here a couple of times for lunch while at ARU, perfect for students, lovely food, fast service and lovely outside seating area out the front! Would definitely reccomend

A nice place with lovely staff and the best beers in town. Although its always crowded you will never feel annoyed on this place. The view from the tram depot is one of the most beautiful views in town ☘️ Extra points go on their salads

Tuve una gran fiesta de cumpleaños aquí! El personal fue increíble y servicial. La comida fue excelente. Nos llamaron el día antes de la fiesta varias veces para alinearnos con los tipos de comida que quisiéramos, etc. También nos ayudaron a preparar la sala colgando carteles de cumpleaños y globos. Lo recomiendo para eventos!

Super selection of beers. Tray of 1/3rds is a great idea. Excellent service from the bar staff Plenty of specials Hope to be back soon

Popped in for a break while wife circled primark. Had a pulled pork baguette and a shandy. Really good

Las hamburguesas son increíbles. El menú tiene un precio muy razonable y no esperaba nada especial, ¡pero estaba equivocado! Tuve el tranvía azul, tan bueno. Mamá tenía los nachos que de nuevo eran realmente sorprendentes por su excelente calidad. Fresco y completamente cargado. El barman era encantador, muy amable. Ojalá viviéramos más cerca, me gustaría trabajar en algunas de las hamburguesas del menú.

With different ciders and a variety of ales/beers, The Tram Depot with its outdoor seating included is a great place to go. Staff are friendly and the atmosphere is sound.

Good staff that are welcoming and are good at their job. The pub has a great aesthetic and feels welcoming. The food is very good, especially the fish and chips special I had. The chips are crunchy and fluffy and aren't bland or dry, with the fish and chips batter was delicious. Plenty of different drinks, especially if you like your ale. 5/5

¡Amo este lugar! Lo encontré en nuestra primera semana en la universidad y nos ayudó a establecer vínculos afectivos en las clases y un lugar fácil y relajado para relajarse durante el almuerzo o después de clase. El personal es muy amable y acogedor y responderá cualquier pregunta o recomendación que tenga.

The vibe of this pub is very cool and the food is great pub grub! Great location as well to stumble home after a few pints.

We called here to get a lunch meal after the Cambs half marathon, a lot of tables were empty and then told they were fully booked, this was 1.45 pm, the staff rude and not helpful at all, another family of six said the same to me as we went out of the door, not reservations on the tables to be seen. wont bother going here again
