I have been visiting the maypole a couple of times a week for the last month now and found the service from the owner and the welcome I have received to be top drawer so much so that I have looked forward to my next visit all throughout each week however today I visited around 5pm and was astonished that...

This bustling family owned and run pub is a well kept cosy watering hole with an excellent variety of beers. Welcoming staff take time to willingly answer your questions about the nature of beers on offer; such as which are local ales or from microbreweries etc… Only drank here so can't rate the home made Italian food.

It's a nice enough pub, the food isn't special but it is good. They have nice cocktails. It gets very busy.

The pub itself is hidden away, and the building unimpressive both outwardly and inside, but the food was heavenly (risotto), the service faultless, and the beer perfectly kept. No 1 spot for me in Cambridge.

I have been going to the maypole on and off so far for the last 6months, mostly in the evenings with other student friends but sometimes for dinner or lunch if I happen to be near it. The food is great and the Ale and beer selections is amazing and constantly changing, which is great for people like me who... More

We've been going to the Maypole for quite a few years fairly regularly and I always rated it. We would take friends with their children to eat there and they always seems quite child friendly. Our last visit was quite unpleasant though. Our 4 year old daughter ran from one room to the other and the owners son told us... More
