Incredible English pub, delicious food and reasonable prices (you have to try the sausagge and mashed, it's very good). They have a great outdoor patio. They open many days until 01:00am)

Nice quaint pub with direct access to the Mendips. The staff are very friendly and helpful. The food was really good, if not small portions for the price, and they had a decent selection of beers! Very dog friendly too

In the 90s it was a Friday pre clubbing bar and a Sunday end of weekend hang out for the cambridge party scene but having visited recently it just comes across as a tatty old haunt now but if you like pack food and tables so used there's no varnish left on them then this is definitely the place for you.

Came here on a rainy day on a Friday. Walkable distance between train station and center of the city. Stopped by here as the first of many spots while exploring during a day out and it was not too busy. We got our drinks quickly and were able to find a large group table near the back. Lots of spaces connected that help to take it not feel overhelmingly loud, crowded, etc. the back area is proabably amazing in better weather.

We had some beer this evening and watched football as there is plenty screens to watch football/snooker/rugby etc, there is also smoking area in back of the bar, and it was not too busy today so had enough places for sitting.

The staff are so rude !! The worst part of my experience was the amount of times I was Asked if I could get any cocaine (3 times by 3 different people ) in this pub and it really does seem like it’s tolerated it’s so obvious younger crowds and older crowds are doing it basically Infrount off staff so I think there is possibly there is Maybe some collusion with the owner or manager. Which should be looked into this is far from a family friendly pub so keep Your children AWAY !!! Just seems funny that this place is totally fine for people to use drugs in the toliet Infrount of other members of the Public and customers . NOT A for people who are not locals !! as staff seem to act funny when you don’t normally or regularly go in there . Rude arrogant staff Only thing I did enjoy was the food or drinks ☹️

Saturday morning visit 26 November 2023 for coffee - 2 cappuccinos @ £3.50 What was served - Barely had any coffee taste at all and very much like an instant out-of-the-jar dirt cheap brand! No brown sugar! No chocolate! Simply couldn't drink it and...not having any expectation that the rude Irishman behind the bar would be at all receptive to any words on the matter (in much the same manner as our requests for brown sugar and chocolate were received), we simply returned the barely touched 'coffees' to the bar with a passing comment on how terrible it was as we walked out. The barmen was quick to reply "you're terrible". Needless to say, we will certainly NOT be returning.

Super clean throughout (the toilets were spotless), lovely food, really dog friendly, polite and efficient staff, and friendly regulars too. We couldn't fault it! I had a pizza which was really good, and my boyfriend had a burger, which he said he enjoyed a lot (and he's quite fussy!) We didn't use the beer garden, but it looked great. The kind of place I can imagine it would be easy to sit for hours in!

It’s really a shame to be writing this as I had a friend down from Bristol and I wanted to show him some good guiness and and proper pub, We were having a lovely night and had a few pints of guiness and a couple games of darts, me and my mate went to the toilet for a wee together and got accused of doing drugs, my friend is a police officer but didn’t bother saying. so rude about the whole situation and got a very homophobic feeling from the owner ( that’s not me being a snowflake either) As I said it’s a huge shame because I loved coming here for the guiness and a good chat but I will no longer be coming back due to the rude owner and truly poor attitude, there’s a way going about things and he just didn’t care ( also telling my friend to leave the pub. ) the pub we’ve spent so much money in and had a lovely time in. I will stop telling my clients to come here and will definitely will not be returning, it was true what they said about the owner being a prick

Recently renovated and all the better for it. A very good sports bar with a decent paved beer garden in the back. Reasonable selection of beers, although they can be a bit hit or miss. Docked at least one star as the don't accept card payments for less than £10. Utterly bewildering decision in this day and age and especially after a refurbishment and relaunch. Get your act together, White Swan. Every time your staff recommend I go across the street to get cash I just end up going somewhere else.

Good pub for watching sport, plenty of tv’s and you can hear the commentary (many pubs don’t care about that). Bad review however as they advertise on the website that they serve food and are a sports bar. They had specials on boards inside the pub so we decided to stay and watch the rugby there. I went to order food at 4:15 and they said that the kitchen was not open till 5. Odd but ok, I said I would wait. Came back up at 5 to then be told it wasn’t open till after the game which would be around 6:30. Something told me this wasn’t right so I asked somebody else soon after who then said it would likely be 30-40 mins after the game and that don’t try to bring food in cause it’s now allowed. We actually googled this place before arriving in Cambridge. Was a really disappointing outcome. Won’t be going back. It’s the crowd you are with that makes a good day out so we can have that elsewhere.

Popped in for a quick coffee but didn’t enjoy it. The young lady at the counter was nice, said it wasn’t her usual store so she asked the chap next to her a question she couldn’t answer. He answered her in an offhand and hostile way, which seemed to be the attitude of the whole store. My table had clutter and dirty cups from the previous person which weren’t cleared the whole time I was there. I went up quite a few steps to get to the loo only to find you need a code, so I had to go all the way down again, get the code and all the way up again which was a real pain. I had asked about the loos so they should have given me the code then. The whole experience came with a ‘can’t be bothered’ attitude from management.

Hadn't been here for ages as it is not the best of places for refreshments. We called in today to get a refund for some slippers that started to fall apart after less than two weeks. Person serving not very bright ! I put the defective slippers on the counter with my receipt at the side of them. I told him one of the slippers was falling apart after less than two weeks. In typical robotic style he uttered, "Have you got your receipt ?" Help!! As we were in there we decided we would just have a tea and cappuccino before walking back for the park and ride bus to return to our car. Queue was not too long but service was, as usual, so slow. The walking art gallery woman serving ought to have her long dyed blonde hair tied back as she was flicking and shaking it about all the time and where food is involved this is not good hygiene practice. Then, as we were sitting and having our drinks we, and several others, were shocked by a bang as a roof tile dropped down on an unfortunate customer sitting a few seats away. Luckily he didn't appear to be injured. I was shocked as well as I have PTSD. There was an area that was screened off for work in progress but it was inadequately guarded and the seats and table should never have been as close to the screened area as they were - as this poor chap discovered ! All in all, a very eventful visit but for the wrong reasons.

Unfortunately, except for the lovely people that work there and the convenient location to the science park, it's a really bad place with some terrible food. Not very cheap either. Unfortunately, Cambridge science park is a very poor place with almost no facilities, so even a bad coffee shop will be busy at lunch time. Very sad.... Science park management is clearly not qualified for the job.

I have been coming here for a good couple of years and always enjoy a coffee with friends after our round of golf. During this time, there has been a huge staff turnover. Really disappointed to see more recently though that the one young lady who always greeted us with a friendly smile and made the best coffee has gone off to university I believe . Now left with very young staff and some older but not as competent Barista’s! Food overpriced but generally Ok. Nice surrounding and spacious to meet with friends.
