The Cambridge Brew House

So if you want a bar where you can't find a seat and that serves just the bog standard beers you can get anywhere else in the country then unfortunately this isn't the bar for you. BUT if you want a quiter vibe with comfy window seats or high bar stools and tables, a large selection of craft beers and largers, an option for restaurant eating too, plus sports TV then this is the local for you. Loved our visit to this place, even if it is a little HIDDEN gem.

Portion varies across the mains. The sausage is a particularly large dish especially considering the price. Burger and pie are on the smaller side. (For me the little pie is enough to get a taste without feeling too guilty…) The pie is crispy outside. Though quite dry inside, the chunks of steak is decent. On the other hand, the gravy is one of the best I’ve had. I usually dislike this greasy brown liquid, but this one is actually not too oily and has a thicker stickiness and tastes good with the pie, the cabbage (yes a lot of cooked veggie instead salad leaves :), and the chips. Chips aren’t the crunchiest but they are not soggy like many other pubs and restaurants nor soaked in oil… almost finished them during conversation. Service is friendly but food is a little slow.

Large and fairly comfy brew pub & grill in the centre of Cambridge. The independent brewery offers a fair selection of its ales on tap, but my choice ("Misty River" pale ale) wasn't quite so good. I didn't have time for picking another one, alas. But it's a good-looking brewpub that will appeal to families, as there's also an attractive and moderately priced menu.
