Main information
Content:
Pub on [[Locale Thoday Street|Thoday Street]], a block north of [[Locale Mill Road Area|Mill Road]]. It's a bit hidden away, so most of the people you'll find there will be locals and not tourists (unlike, say, the [[Eagle]]). It is always packed on Friday and Saturday nights. It might be a freehouse; [http://www.cambridge-camra.org.uk/ale/332/pub-news.html the Jan/Feb 2008 Cambridge CAMRA newsletter] lists the beers as being Adnams Bitter, Fuller's London Pride, Timothy Taylor Landlord, Woodforde Wherry, Marstons Pedigree, and Tom Woods Jolly Ploughman. Westons cider available, according to the Good Cider Guide (and the CAMRA newsletter linked above). They have a large garden with picnic-style benches that includes a covered section near the pub and heat lamps. Their three pet micropigs reside in the garden. There is also a cat. They show sport there sometimes, and there is a pool table and darts board. It has no aspirations towards being a gastropub — they don't really do food other than tasty home-made pizzas. They usually have a good guest ale on. Accessibility: There are steps at the (rather narrow) entrance. Sign spotted outside in September 2007 advertised: * Pub quiz from 7:30pm on Tuesdays * £5.50 curry on Wednesdays * Barbecue on Fridays and Sundays (presumably this only happens in summer/early autumn) * £4.50 chilli on Saturdays * Open all day on Sundays See also: * [http://www.cambridge-camra.org.uk/ale/332/pub-news.html Cambridge CAMRA Jan/Feb 2008 newsletter] (scroll down) * [http://www.beerintheevening.com/pubs/comments.shtml/19460/ Beer in the Evening comments] * [http://www.crawlplanner.com/viewpub.php?id=375 CrawlPlanner comments] * [http://www.cambridgepubs.com/details/6696/ Cambridge Online comments] * [http://www.pocketpubs.co.uk/index.php?id=89 Pocket Pubs entry] <small>Opening hours taken from the 2009 Good Beer Guide.</small>
