About The Regal
The Regal is a pub on St Andrew's St in Cambridge, set in a former cinema building where the upper floor still looks like a cinema balcony. Seating spreads across multiple floors with a large amount of space. Vintage decor runs through the rooms, and decorative enclosed lights include a large circle of them on the ceiling. Breakfast is served until noon. Lunch and dinner bring lighter bites, vegetarian choices, gourmet burgers and freshly made pizzas, with the Tennessee burger on the food menu. The drinks list covers real ales, craft beers, gins and soft drinks, with Stowford Press and Seven Brothers IPA among them. Tea and Lavazza coffee come with refills. Table service runs through the Wetherspoon app, so orders go in from the table. The pub is open daily.

Customer Review Summary
The Regal draws reviewers mainly for its sheer size and space, described as one of the biggest and cleanest Wetherspoon pubs, with plenty of seating across multiple floors and a former cinema layout that keeps a balcony on the second floor and lights circling the ceiling. Close behind is the food and drink. One reviewer found the Tennessee burger nicely cooked and hot, another praised the mash, and drinkers mention Stowford Press and Seven Brothers IPA, cold drinks and a huge selection at low prices. Several call the staff friendly, kind and patient, and one tourist found the app ordering unfamiliar at first but easy. A few note it gets very busy, with one stuck on an awful table and another finding it a bit dark in places. The one clear complaint concerns breakfast, where a reviewer found the muffin served cold, the cheese unmelted and the muffin untoasted. One diner recalls forgetting ID and the server swapping their drinks for non-alcoholic ones.

“Typical Wetherspoons - if you've been to one you've been to them all. Ordered using the app, no difficulties. We had an awful table, but that couldn't be helped as it was very busy. Food was fine, staff were polite.”

“The Regal is one of the biggest and cleanest JD Wetherspoon pubs I’ve been to. Huge space, good atmosphere, plenty of seating, and everything was well kept. Great value for drinks as you’d expect from Wetherspoon.”
- James Gardner
“Breakfast muffin not good. All cold which also meant cheese did not melt. Muffin itself not toasted! Disappointed as I normally enjoy this in other Wetherspoon pubs.”
