Definitely a significant stop for RAF soldiers during World War II. Current days - a cosy pub with plenty of seating and a decent food menu. Friend had a steak and ale pie and she said it was good. I was content with water enjoying the crowd etc. You can order either via the app or at the bar with your table number. Toilets were limited and not the cleanest. Overall a must see while in Cambridge although I'm not sure the experience warrants a return visit.

While at Trinity Chapel for a wedding rehearsal, we wandered off the grounds in search of lunch. I…read moredidn't have internet access (so, no Yelp sadly) and we agreed to stop at the first place we found. Lucky enough, The Senate was the spot! The menu is a fun mix of sandwiches, salads and small plates. I went with the soup of the day (split pea and mint with ham) and the peach prosciutto salad. Each dish was beautifully presented and SO flavorful. I enjoyed every bite and the rest of my party seemed to enjoy their choices as well. I loved the outdoor seating with sweeping views of Trinity College and excellent people watching.

We called at The Senate for breakfast and I was very pleased to see something unfamiliar to me, namely the sauté potato breakfast, on the menu. It was very enjoyable, though I wish that there had been pepper mills full of black pepper on coarse grind on the tables. That would have really made it as I would have dosed quite liberally on the stuff. Sitting al fresco provided a wonderful view for the holiday snaps and the service was excellent. Those teapots were impressively heavy - presumably of cast iron. I initially thought that mine had stuck to the table but it was the weight!

There is some sense of exclusivity with a bouncer at the door and over priced cocktails.

Their choice of cocktails was good and made very well, However the decor and interior are quite dated and not suited to a cocktail bar, infact it looks very similar to the nightclub that proceeded it a few years ago.

The hidden rooms as the name suggests are hard to find, just down a few steps off jesus lane. (next to pizza express) usually places that are hard to find are often worth the search and effort however this sadly wasnt the case here.

On reflection, the lack of a crowd on a busy Saturday should have been a clue. Don't bother ordering a cocktail here. The alleged pina colada was bland and watery, with plenty of unblended ice remaining in the bottom of the glass. (This latter was a mixed curse; had they succeeded in blending it fully, it is doubtful that even the faintest trace of the presumably-artificial coconut flavouring would have remained.) Wireless is free and surprisingly fast (12Mbps download, 768kbps upload), but disappointingly unreliable; if you don't know how to bypass a DHCP server by sniffing network traffic and then manually configuring an IP address, then don't expect it to work for you. There is no sign of available power. Despite the "free wireless" advertised in the windows, this really isn't set up to be somewhere you can work comfortably, which leaves me wondering why it stays open all afternoon.

It's got strange live music, a pool table, a beer garden, free newspapers, a small but decent selection of beers, seating on the street, bar billiards (sometimes) and... thousands of pigs. That's right - this dark but warm little pub is brimful of random pig toys, pig posters and pig sculptures. It adds a unique atmosphere to an already well-known atmospheric pub. Being only about 20 houses away, you can trust me that this is a true local gem. After 5 on most nights you'll find this place packed with drinkers who can't be bothered to go home just yet or catch the train home to the villages. Even if it's near-freezing out you'll still see us taking our beers out and sitting on the grass by the BBC next door so that the smokers can smoke away. And on a hot summer night - it's just perfect. No need to go home until I get thrown out.
