One of Cambridge’s enduring institutions; generations of happy customers.
Our goal is to balance good home-cooked dishes with the classics to be found in the traditional pub.
If you would like to book for a large group (anything over 12), please email the pub, or to speak to someone, call us on 01223 471680.
You’ll find burgers, pies and more to be enjoyed if you fancy something simple and hearty. We have a small selection (ever-changing) of dishes created by our chefs to keep them entertained and out of trouble, and have suggested a drink pairing to go with it. These are not always specific since our choice of beers changes so frequently, if in doubt, ASK!
Needless to say, our focus is Real Ale, however we also stock a good range of Real Cider and Perry, having won Cider/Perry Pub of the Year for Cambridge 2012 and 2016. We tend to stock 6 or 7 ever-changing ciders but always have a good balance of sweet, medium, dry and occasionally a flavoured cider.
‘Craft Beer’? Whatever your definition of it is, we have loads of it! Most people mean beer from keg taps rather than hand-pump or served by gravity (straight out of the barrel), a method of dispense normally associated with lager. Whatever your personal opinions on non-cask-conditioned beer, we aim to provide a good balance of European lagers and new beer from the UK market.
Wine drinkers are not forgotten here, our small range comes hand-picked by our managers and the lovely folks at Bacchanalia, one of Cambridge’s elite independent wine merchants.

First visit to this local pub in Cambridge, amazing range in beers and ciders. Friendly locals and staff, highly recommend unless you are someone who can't enjoy a pint without ruining it for everyone else. Great establishment that shows how great a traditional pub in the UK can be or should be. Looking forward to visiting again in the future
Love it every time! Very busy sometimes but as long as you don't mind that, excellent social vibe and lovely outdoor seating (with a cover + heating in the winter). Unmatched beer selection to boot. 10/10 recommended for meet up with friends X
The best pub in Cambridge! Amazing beer selection (on tap and bottles), regular beer festivals, amazing location. Always love coming to this place. Food is also really good and served promptly.
Brilliant place with good range of beer and cider. Could do with more dry options though which is the only negative. Also tons of Belgian bottles.
Very nice pub, good food, decent selection of ciders, a big garden. We were looking for a place to grab a bite and get drinks on Sunday afternoon, went to a couple of pubs in area - at one place they didn’t serve any food at 6pm, at another they didn’t have a table for six people. The Cambridge Blue was the the third place we went to, and third time WAS a charm 😊 My Smashed Burger was tasty, loaded fries were garlicky and flavorful and the fuzzy cider I ordered was, well, fuzzy and cold. There is a big outdoor garden/patio, which is especially nice when one intends to enjoy a summer afternoon together with friends 🥰 Tip: One can’t order drinks together with food. For food, scan a QR code at the table and leave a lot of personal info (mail, name, phone) to pay for the yummies 😂 For drinks, order at the counter.
