The interior has lowish ceilings, wooden furniture and various agricultural clutter as ornamentation, together with a small snug. Staff were friendly and efficient. The beer selection is excellent - Everard's Tiger Bitter and Nethergate Umbel are the regular beers (both are really lovely pints - Umbel has a coriander flavour), with 5-6 guest ales. It serves basic pub grub, and you can get a ploughmans, deep-filled sandwich or baked potato for under a fiver. Recommended.

This place has an official history back to 1608, it really is older than that. There a paper with the history on it and great stories. The chips-one of the best I've ever had.

It's not a big place, but we had no trouble finding a place to sit. The night I was there, they had a local Indian restaurant serving Indian food. It was quite reasonable in terms of price and outstanding in terms of flavour. I enjoyed the vegetarian thali more than I've enjoyed almost any Indian food anywhere. So there are lots of things to like, and really nothing to dislike. A good pub worth stopping by again.

A great local, cozy & warm, with many eclectic regulars. A must-stop pub if you are in Cambridge!

Usually older male executives flirting with young women away from public glare. Its funny to watch! Good place to bash your expenses account on a pretty younger lady! Your wife will never find out as its kinda tucked away! In the bar during the evening you can find loads of middle class 'old boys'. They all know each other (and the management) well. They will not pay you much attention but may nod as you enter and leave. Its worth a look in-not much more!

Wooden tables on the grass in an enclosed garden next to the car park at the back. Dogs are allowed in the garden and in the bar. The Adnames bitter is good and they have some decent wines. The lunch time menu includes a range of baguettes and pub favourites. For dinner, the cooking is more ambitious (we haven't recently een to the pub for dinner, but we enjoyed our last evening meal some years ago). The Sunday lunch is good, with starters and puddings at £4.95 and the main courses around £10. The smoked haddock and spring onion fishcake was a ver good starter. The roat beef was rare, tender and tasty. Vegatables cam in two large dishes: one with roast potatoes and one with a selection of vegetables. The veg had the right amount of crunch, but perhaps were slightly bland. Service was prompt and friendly and the dining room was full. Park by the river in Chesterton, walk along the Cam to Fen Ditton, lucn at the Acient Shepherds and return. It's just over a mile each way and makes a pleasant couple of hours or so.

Cambridge Blue has a huge selection of bottled and on-tap beers, which can only be a good sign. I do eat food, however, so here is where I can really comment from experience. The special of venison stew with dumplings and thick, crusty bread was amazing, so tender and well seasoned. The sausages of the day, on their tower of mash surrounded by a huge lake of onion gravy were similarly amazing. But the sticky toffee pudding with homemade caramel sauce was so good, I could have eaten 10. Really reasonably priced for Cambridge, I had a drink, a main course and a dessert for £12. All the staff were cheerful and kind, from the bar staff to the bus boy. If there was one drawback it was that it was quite noisy, but I think that's just what happens when a place is as good as this.

I'll preface this review by stating that we are Americans visiting friends in Cambridge. We had…read morehigh expectations for the Sunday Roast at The Fort St. George. It is known for being the old pub in the river in Cambridge and has a nice atmosphere inside. The outside looked amazing as well but the sun was (unusually) shining. Our reservations were for 3:30 and we came hungry. We ordered using the Greene King app which was very simple and the food came quickly. I will say that the servers were nice and seemed attentive. My wife got the sirloin Sunday Roast and I had fish and chips with a Guinness. The Sunday Roast came with a fair amount of beef, barely-cooked carrots, semi-cooked Cauliflower, a cup of gravy (very good), potatoes, and cooked cabbage. The star of the show was the gravy and everything else was average. However the fish and chips were quite nice- the fish was perfectly fried with a nice and crispy skin. We both ended with Sticky Toffee Pudding with custard which was quite nice although our Cambridge friends thought it could have been better. I can't say that the overall meal and experience met expectations. I'm glad that we went but probably would not go again.

Nice and clean, good service and excellent value for money. Definitely worth the drive and nice to see it was being used by the cycle club for their lunch stop. Look forward to returning and I'm sure it will become one of my regular places to visit.

Anyway, here we were. I was desperate to try the Brisket Pie, but it was sold out that day (boo). I had the Steak & Ale pie instead and just imagined that I was eating rib, shin and brisket. Either way, it was delicious. The clotted cream mash was divine! The deduction of a star is because I had a 2-inch long rosemary stalk in my pie that was dismissed out of hand when I pointed it out. To someone else it could have been a choking hazard. The building is ridiculously historic. The service was pub service - at the bar and you're done and onto the next person. You'd kind of expect this being that it was a weekend close to Christmas and pretty busy. Try one of their in-house infused fruit gins or the brewery's own ale.
