  “Went for the Sunday roast. It was good. The meat in particular was very well cooked. No bought-in pre-sliced meat here- succulent chicken thighs with crispy golden skin, and tender pink beef. The Yorkshire puddings were also very good and the roast carrots were fine. Two negatives- the potatoes were whole roasted new potatoes with skins on, and whilst this is preferable to bought-in frozen roast potatoes, it's still disappointing- proper crispy roast potatoes please. Secondly, the mushy peas have no business being part of a Sunday roast and should be restricted to being served with pies or fish, where they belong. Service was good. Prices reasonable.”

  “We walked around for quite a while before finding this place. One of the reasons we chose it was because they have their own brewery, and my husband really enjoys beer. We ordered drinks, along with starters and mains. The food was freshly prepared and of excellent quality. For starters, we had the fried aubergines and the slow-cooked pork belly, which was slightly spicy. For the main course, I had the fish and chips. The fish was tender, and the chips were excellent. My husband chose the lamb chops with a bean and radish salad, which he thoroughly enjoyed. Overall, we had a lovely meal and would happily visit again.”

  “A nice place we found in Cambridge, with great atmosphere on the night of the Arsenal versus Atletico match. We had the pleasure of having Kay as our helper, and we would like to thank her for her kindness. Food was very good, the drinks kept coming, all in all it was a pleasant evening for us.”

  “Me and my aunties had an amazing experience! Food was sublime! Haddock was marinated amd fried in a superb batter amd the chicken from the ceasar salad was cooked impeccably!! Julia was an amazing floortender, her service was a 10/10!! Only down side (even as a dog lover) one of the pups was being a bit too loud, bless him he was just hungry but owners should’ve done Something to keep him quiet!”

  “Great pub to eat and drink in the centre of Cambridge. Epic Menu. We had the Curried Lamb Croissant, which was crispy and delicious. Followed by the mac and cheese topped pie and a steak. For the food we ate the price was really good. We drank the in house ales and lager and again, I'd reccomend them. We will be back!”

  “I visited the King Street Brewhouse and it’s a solid, characterful spot that sits somewhere between a traditional pub and a modern craft beer venue. The standout feature is definitely the on-site microbrewery. You can actually see where the beer is made, and the selection rotates regularly, which makes it worth coming back just to try something new. The quality of the beer is genuinely strong—this is clearly a place that takes brewing seriously rather than just treating it as a gimmick. Food-wise, the menu leans toward elevated pub classics with some creative twists. Think burgers, sharing plates, and hearty options like pies or smoked meats. Some dishes are genuinely excellent and full of flavour, especially the more experimental ones, though the quality can be a bit inconsistent depending on what you order. The atmosphere is one of the biggest selling points. It has that classic Cambridge pub energy—busy, slightly chaotic, and very social. There are multiple rooms, plenty of seating, and it’s especially lively when there’s live sport on. It works really well for groups or casual nights out, but if you’re looking for a quiet, intimate dinner, this probably isn’t the place. Service is generally friendly and welcoming, but like many busy pubs, it can be a bit inconsistent. When it’s quieter, everything runs smoothly; during peak times, you might notice slower service or small mix-ups with orders. In terms of pricing, it’s fairly typical for central Cambridge—on the higher side, especially once you factor in drinks. Some people will find it good value given the atmosphere and in-house beer, while others might feel it’s a bit steep for what you get. Overall, King Street Brewhouse is a great all-rounder: strong craft beer, lively atmosphere, and solid food. It may not be perfect across the board, but it’s definitely one of those places you go to for the overall experience rather than just one specific thing.”

  “It has been my distinct pleasure to frequent Brew House, where I have been consistently attended to by a most remarkable individual, Miss Kay. Allow me to express, with the measured sincerity of one who values excellence, that Miss Kay is the very embodiment of gracious service. She possesses a dignified warmth that makes one feel genuinely welcomed, as an honored guest rather than a mere patron. Her attentiveness is neither intrusive nor fleeting but is instead a quiet, constant assurance of care. With a countenance that is ever serene and marked by a discerning smile, she anticipates needs with a foresight that is both impressive and deeply comforting. In every interaction, she demonstrates a commitment to service that elevates the ordinary to the exceptional. Her presence alone has the singular effect of rendering each visit to Brew House not merely a transaction, but a memorable and positively distinguished occasion. She conducts her duties with a natural poise and competence that one might describe as regal in its quiet authority and grace. Let it be known that her eyes see what is needed before a word is spoken. She moves with the grace of one who understands that true hospitality is a sacred duty. Her smile is not merely on the lips; it is in the spirit of her work, making the atmosphere around her calm and pleasant. Every time I enter Brew House her presence assures me that all will be well. She turns the simple act of sharing a brew into something meaningful, something that pleases me. Miss Kay does not just do her work; she blesses it. She is a credit to BrewHouse and the community you serve. May she be upheld and celebrated.”
