Difficult to find pubs that sell such interesting beers in Cambridge so word is bond, the Devonshire Arms is a hidden gem.

I'm very familiar with Milton beers from all my visits to the Pembury in London, so I got myself a Colchester No 1 which was a nice beer.

How I managed 6 I have no real idea. I felt like giving some kind of thank you speech by the end. I had to order some tap water to help me! No screens, no music.

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.

The food is heavenly and affordable- we come here for every birthday. Would heavily recommend.read more

I say every week, "Can't wait till Tuesday steak night!" I am talking about Golden Lion's steak night. At times the staff shows humor and the servers dress up as cow girls and cows. I missed the attire last time I went, they had lost their costumes. Steak night has certain deals on all their steaks ranging from the least expensive option £7.25 which includes a steak, peas, tomato, chips and a pint of lager. I am not sure how expensive the options go. The steak... First visit to steak night I ordered a 8oz sirloin steak cooked medium. It came out, it was fresh as can be, cooked perfectly at medium. Second visit, they were out of both sirloin and rump steak, so I chose the 12oz Aberdeen Angus, and I am so glad I did. I ordered two Aberdeen Angus specials and paid £18.00. Both steaks were ordered to be cooked medium. Both came out medium and were again, perfect. Now ask me if I would go and have breakfast here, no, not really. Would I drink here? Yes, I do often. Would I eat steak on steak night here, that is an affirmative.

This is one of several great pubs scattered over the small streets either side of Mill Road. While…read morethe selection of ales here is good, it's not quite as good as either the Cambridge Blue or Live and Let Live, so it's the food that'd bring you here. This is rooted in the style of pub food - not overly fancy dishes served in hearty portions to eat with a few beers. But there's a wider range of dishes here and a care of preparation that takes it closer to gastropub territory than your average local. A permanent fixture of the menu are a range of different types of sausages sourced from the nearby butcher. These are proper sausages, with high quality meat blended with just the right amount of herb, giving them a much more distinctive flavour than the vaguely papery-ness of most supermarket bought sausages. They're served with a proper homemade gravy on top of a big helping of soft mash with nice deeply flavoured red cabbage beneath it. [Sadly the last time I went my whole dish suffered from being slightly luke-warm, but I'm willing to forgive that for now as a one off lapse] The grilled seabass wasn't trying to be anything extravagant or smothered in one of those sauces that can so often go wrong. Instead it was just a nice plump fresh fish, cooked to perfection so the skin was charred and the flesh soft and springy. In contrast the chicken demonstrated a little more the chef's talents, livening up the chicken's soft and often considered bland taste with the stronger flavours of oyster mushrooms and herbs. It's dishes like this one that really add to The Kingston Arm's menu and probably are what helped it win an Observer food award a few years back. I've also had really great venison pie here in the past and have hear that the pan-fried ostrich steak is interesting. With such diverse options on offer, it seems a bit boring to get a standard roast dinner here, but they do also offer these most Sundays and they are fairly close to home cooking. The prices are around the same as other 'gastropubs' I've visited, with mains around £10. Not the cheapest in town, but not terrible either. Plus, they now have a cheaper 'recession menu' to try to soften the blow a little - with dishes for as little as a fiver. There's a nice little beer garden out the back for when it's sunny, newspapers available for you to read, a couple of computers to surf the internet and free wi-fi. This is definitely a pub where it would be easy to spend the whole afternoon.

However since the…read moreBlack Bull changed hands it has become more of a restaurant pub than a drinking pub something that the Bell cannot be accused of! Inside it is a bit dated, but kind of familiar. Drinks are as expected and staff are friendly. Out of the 2 pubs i would still choose to drink in the Black Bull but perhaps this is just familiarity rather than the pub is better for drinking in. The Bell has a very local clientele which can be quite daunting when you walk in everyone stares at you, but they are friendly, so perhaps persevere with it!

If all you're looking to do is meet your basic needs, in a Maslow's Hierarchy sense, then this is your place. However, for anyone who has traveled through Europe and/or has a reverence for the sacred nectar that is Belgian beer, this pub provides service with a most disrespectful sin. Allow me to explain. One of the glories of drinking beer in Europe is the service. Each beer is typically served in its brewery-appointed glass. Some are even served pair with small snacks to complement the beer. This takes the simple act of having a beer and turns it into an experience of greater depth and enjoyment. The Maypole, however, doesn't feel it should conform to this practice. Instead choosing to serve some of the world's greatest beers without the care to serve them in the proper glass, even though they have them. It feels wrong. Sure, some may argue that serving a beer in any style of Belgian glass meets the requirement, but for me it doesn't. For example, my local pub had a Belgian night a couple years back and even for just that one night, they acquired the proper glasses for each beer and served them accordingly. Surely The Maypole, with its reputation as a source for Belgian beer on a daily basis, could easily match the effort my local pub made? Surely. The Maypole is disrespecting us and the beer with each glass it pours. We all deserve better.
