The Geldart

I found this pub from CAMRA's Good Beer guide - not always a guarantee that it is a great pub, just that they will serve real ale and it will be kept well. The beer selection was large, all the beers we had were great (good choices but also in perfect condition). The food was great - we had a lamb roast, a steak hot stone, etc. and all were really good. The service was generally great - they were responsive to emails to book, were attentive throughout the meal, etc. Paying was a bit slow (we went up to the bar in the end) but I wonder if that was a shift changeover/break time - minor quibble. The pub generally seems kid friendly - we had two pre-teen monsters and other tables had similar and younger and no problems were had. The decor is very eclectic! Huge amounts of musicana decorate everything, and our table was right by a selection of slightly saucy artwork (that caused amusement from the young nephews!). We will definitely return! Parking: there might be some street parking in the evenings or at weekends but you'll be driving around to find a space as is to be expected in cities.

Absolutely love this pub. First I thought it was the character of the pub that did it, then I thought it was the fantastic selection of real ales, rums and whiskies, but soon enough realised it was the staff that make this place so great. I will be very sorry when I move away from Cambridge, because this is my favourite pub anywhere.

What a fabulous pub. Just had Sunday lunch, Roast lamb with all the trimmings. Beautifully cooked lamb, roast potatoes, seasonal veg, Yorkshire pudding and lashings of tasty gravy. Can't get much better. 6 adults and two children looked after by the attentive staff. Bar person knew the range of beers well and was able to steer me to a great porter and locally brewed stout. If you're after a non pretentious place with great beer, service snd food give this a try.

Great back streets pub. With wonderful musical themed decoration. Elvis, the proprietor, keeps a great selection of ales. Spirits and wine. The food is of a really high standard. Highly recommended. Great atmosphere. Large beer garden including comfortable covered seating areas. Do yourself a great kindness. Get up. Go out. And go there.
