  “Came here two nights in a row during a short break in Cambridge. This is a lovely bar, great decor, atmosphere and fabulous service from Ollie. Highly recommended.”

  “While this is a cute place with nice vibes, I wouldn’t go back. We came on a Sunday for their roast. We ordered our roasts (I got the veggie one), and then the waiter came back to say there was no veggie roast. So I ordered the burger, again he came back to say there was no burger. After a couple attempts of this I ended up with an overpriced Avocado on toast, which was just 2 thin slices of toast with some poorly seasoned avocado on it, and some average chips for about £17! It was not worth the money at all, and the staff weren’t particularly sympathetic about the fact that they had no vegetarian main meal options.”

  “A charming venue, provided nobody you’re with has anything to say. On a Friday night, the music is played at a volume seemingly designed to prevent conversation, independent thought, and possibly continued use of the inner ear. We arrived hoping for drinks and a chat; we left having communicated mainly through lip-reading and concerned facial expressions. If your ears aren’t bleeding, you’re probably not standing close enough to the speakers.”

  “Popped in after my son's graduation. Service was quick using the app, the food was absolutely spot on and the staff were great. The toilets are up a couple of flights of stairs, but are a solid 8/10. Nice and clean, just had a slight smell in the gents. I would highly recommend this venue.”

  “Decent food, large space but a bit too noisy with loud music when the place is not busy on a Sunday afternoon. There are few places outside.”

  “Food- Overall was great in terms of taste, purple cabbage added a nice balance with the acidity. However, there were only 4 small potatoes (but were very crispy) which was a slight letdown. A small stuffing ball was nice as well but not enough. Cauliflower cheese was nice as well with decent browning for flavour, but more creamy and less cheesy though. Service- It was counter service so there wasn’t much interaction with the staff except asking for sauce and question regarding the meal. QR code wasn’t working to order either. Atmosphere- Decor of a bar/comedy club so not specifically designed for meals. Toilets were clean with baby-changing on the ground floor.”

  “So delighted to have discovered this quaint theatre/restaurant/bar just off the main thoroughfare in Cambridge. The ambience was relaxing and the food was delicious. Keelan and his staff were friendly and attentive, without being intrusive. Molly was also welcomed and enjoyed a nice fresh bowl of water. Highly recommend!”

  “Pub with Privacy I often overlook this pub, as it's located on a side road, the back of TK Maxx. The food was quite expensive compared to Eagle, Bath House and Baron of Beef. The Sunday roast tasted nice, with crispy Yorkshire pudding. The potatoes were a bit too crispy, overcooked? Not sure about the burger. The portion was small in terms of its price. The burger was not hot enough. The beef patty was a bit dry. I was not full after the burger meal. But the environment is genuinely nice, very clean and open. Every table has a big distance. The toilets are not small. I think it's a lovely environment.”

  “After spending a few hours of shopping and touring Cambridge, we happened upon Town and Gown. The atmosphere is pretty laid back, so it was a great spot to relax. There are three floors, but the barrel booths on the first floor were the absolute cutest! You can choose where to sit. Once you've figured out what you want, you walk up to the bar and order. The food was pretty good, but my virgin pornstar martini was delicious!!! It is tucked away in an alley, so keep a sharp eye out for it.”
