The Cambridge Blue

You'll find this unassuming Victorian pub tucked away on Gwydir Street, just off Mill Road in the heart of Cambridge's most eclectic neighbourhood. Step inside and you're greeted by low ceilings, worn wooden floors, and the kind of atmosphere that makes you want to settle in for hours with a pint and the paper. The Cambridge Blue is serious about its beer – expect a rotating selection of proper ales alongside decent pub grub that won't break the bank. It's the sort of place where regulars prop up the bar discussing everything from cricket to local politics, while students nurse halves in the corner snug. The back garden is a proper sun trap when the weather behaves, making it one of Mill Road's better spots for an afternoon session that stretches well into evening.
