Food Scene

Excellent pub food. Local sausages of various flavours plus an 'austerity menu' which is food for £5.00. They also have a variety of beers and ales and a little pub garden. Reserve if you want to be sure of a table. (15 minute walk from River Lane)

Ozzy serves Turkish and English cafe food. Great mezze and Turkish pizzas. He does not mind if you stay for 2-3 hours using his wifi. It is of course polite to order a coffee every half an hour to pay your way. This is a real neighbourhood cafe where all the locals know each other. It is not very beautiful but it is cosy, casual and not too expensive.

There is a Turkish kebab van which is here most days from about 4 to about midnight. The guy sells kebabs, felafel, salad, chips etc. (10 minute walk from River Lane) Not haute cuisine but a real favourite with the locals.

I have been told that The Wrestlers sell some of the best Thai food in Cambridge. I am not sure how good a recommendation that is. It looks like a traditional pub inside. You can eat in or take away. Best to reserve a table as it gets pretty busy.

If you want traditional English fish and chips - go to Mr Chippy. It is a tiny ugly little take away shop on the busy Newmarket Road. It has been open for years and is a very popular stop for people on their way home from the pub.

This restaurant will not disappoint. Book at least 2 weeks in advance. They serve totally different food to the usual tired menus in English Asian restaurants. Delicious. (4 minute walk from River Lane, walk down Beche Road, turn left and go under the underpass to cross the road.) "A Cuisine in this fine establishment is created by award winning chefs and staff who come from Five-Star Hotel and Michelin Star backgrounds. They have a single aim - to be able to deliver the authentic Royal Indian dining experience to its patrons with utmost courtesy and hospitality. The menu will take you on a culinary journey from south to north of India."

Drinks & Nightlife

Google The Geldart or check out its Facebook page to see who is playing. They usually have music on Sunday afternoons. They have a very meat heavy menu - zebra and ostrich etc. so the food is not for everyone. Good atmosphere. Nice beer garden in the summer. (15 minute walk from River Lane)

The Cambridge Blue serves pub food and is popular with the locals. It has a huge pub garden. It hosts an annual beer festival and has won various awards. It used to be much nicer before it expanded but is still a good place to have a drink or dinner.

The White Swan stays open until very late. It gets very busy when the other pubs close. It is run by an Irish landlord and shows Irish sports on the tv so can be very crowded on afternoons when there is an Irish sporting event on.

The Fort St George serves good pub grub and a variety of beers and ales. Lovely beer garden in the summer next to the river and overlooking Midsummer Common. (15 - 20 minute walk from River Lane)

An excellent beer garden by the river. Nice river walk from River Lane. They do serve food. It is very popular, especially with families on Sundays. I think the food is over priced and not very special.

Sweet little beer garden. It is right next to the river. A nice lazy walk along the banks of the river from River Lane (30 minutes?). Cross the river at Green Dragon Bridge to get to the pub. Glorious on a summer day or cosy inside in the winter.
