Overall Rating

Good

I don't usually review pubs because they can be a bit tricky. However I loved this place Great atmosphere, good beer, full of history and good staff. What more could you ask for? Right at the outset though I have to say that although I use a folding four-wheeled rollator I can get about over short distance on walking sticks. If you are not ambulant in any form or fashion this pub (certainly its interior) will prove extremely challenging. Its an old, historical building with all the old, historical building access challenges, but its full of character. It's where Watson and Crick announced that they had found the secret of life and there is the RAF bar where crews left their graffiti before they left on their missions, some never to return. It operates a Greene King app table ordering service which I found extremely helpful and its very close to the centre of Cambridge. Oh...and it serves Abbot Ale!

Disabled Access In and Around

Poor

Its an old building on many levels There are many steps and when it is busy there is not much room to move about. There is an outdoor area but I did not use that as it was rainy when I was there.

Parking & Transport

Poor

I travelled to this place by walk or wheel

I used my rollator to walk there. It was very close to my city centre hotel. Bene't street is very narrow and parking is very restricted

Accessible Toilets

Poor

There is what they call an 'accessible' toilet and it is right next to the external door to the outdoor seating area. It is quite cramped and I would say it is not wheelchair accessible from indoors.

Staff

Excellent

They were friendly, helpful, bought my food and drink over to my table and helped me and from to the toilet
