About The Wrestlers Pub

On Newmarket Rd in Cambridge, The Wrestlers Pub pairs real ales on tap with a menu of classic Thai dishes. The kitchen keeps to a simple list, with green, red, and panang curries alongside pad thai and rice noodle dishes served stir-fried or in soup, such as pad see ew. Curry and noodle dishes are often ordered together to share. Prawn crackers are set out for grazing alongside drinks. No service charge is added to the bill. The pub is walk-in, with no reservations taken, and opens Tuesday to Sunday, closed on Mondays. Evenings can get busy. High chairs are kept in a designated spot rather than brought to the table.

Customer Review Summary

Reviewers most often return for the curries, with green, red and panang singled out, including a vegetable panang one diner calls the best they have had in the UK. A Thai chicken jungle curry and pad thai come up close behind, and one reviewer found a pint of Tribute excellent. Portions are repeatedly called generous, and several say the food arrives quickly and the staff are friendly. Diners also note that spice can be adjusted to taste, and a few mention it gets busy in the evening, with some suggesting booking ahead. The criticisms are specific. One reviewer found the prawns in a pad see ew dry and rubbery, said a kra pow had no spice, and described a staff member picking their teeth with a toothpick before going behind the bar. Another said the rice noodles were mostly broken, the beef was basic, and the starters were limited, with no satay or fish cakes. Even so, one noted it is impressive for a pub to attempt something beyond classics, and another reported there is no service charge.

    “We are regulars at Baan Thai but decided to try here as we always see it recommended. Unfortunately we won't be back. We were greeted by someone picking their teeth with a toothpick. I thought it was a customer until they went behind the bar. Very unhygienic! We asked for a high chair and were told where to find them. Considering we were the only customers this felt very lazy to not bring it over to us. My pad see eww was fine but the prawns were incredibly dry and rubbery. I can only assume they were old or very overcooked. My partner had the kra pow which he said was nice but had no spice. Portion sizes were good.”
  • Emma Barrett
    “I have eaten here on multiple occasions, either in or for take away. I would highly recommend this restaurant. There's not a large menu but there is enough to chose from. It's consistently good. It can get extremely busy, so I do prefer take away. They offer flavoursome, generous portions. We usually share a curry dish and a noodle dish. My favourites are green, red or penang curry and pad thai.”
  • Jim Pedley
    “Lovely food! Come before 6pm and you will get served. No background music though...”

    “Wow wow wow. Fantastic and amazing food with a great experience. Gets very busy so u must book in advance but midweek and Sunday evenings is cosy and still busy. The food was superb with very generous portion which were very pleasing. Lovely spice and customer service. I would be coming back and highly recommend to others to visit. Great drinks and mixture of dishes.”
  • Gourmet K
    “Great pub, nice selection of beers, Thai foods are great too, really simple main menus, definitely not the most delicious Thai foods in Cambridge but for the price, the portion and flavours are really satisfying, no service charge either, generally quite busy in the evening so might want to book a table”
