Quick info
About Carpenters Arms, Cambridge
Carpenters Arms sits on Victoria Rd in Cambridge, set up as a pub with a kitchen that puts pizzas at the centre of the menu alongside more familiar pub plates such as lasagne. The Shroom pizza is named as one of the options. A 2-for-1 deal runs on Mondays, and children's meals are priced at £5 with a drink included. Dogs are welcome inside, which makes it a practical stop for anyone walking in from the surrounding streets. The room takes walk-ins throughout the day, and the bar side of the operation keeps it firmly in pub territory rather than a dedicated restaurant. Pizzas and pub classics share the same menu, giving it a format that is unusual for a Cambridge pub on Victoria Rd.

“We love this pub for their delicious pizzas and lovely service. We come on a Monday for 2 for 1 with the children from the nursery close by and they are so accommodating to us. Thank you”
- rachel chapman
“It could be a better place but they've messed up the booking and messed up the food order. The pizza is good, fresh and hot, so no complaints there. Probably better when it's not so busy.”
