Pint Shop Reviews Summary

Beer and Drinks Selection

Pros:

• "Great selection of beers and would recommend!"
• "There are always gluten free beer options in tap, which is great for me as I have coeliac disease and can't have gluten."
• "Nice location. Good beer selection. Friendly staff and cracking music."
• "In normal times they have the best choice of real ales in Cambridge Central."
• "Firstly, the beer selection is amazing. A massive variety and lots of local beers/ciders to try."
• "Best gin selection in Cambridge."
• "The variety or beer, lager, ales, gins etc was top notch."

Cons:

• "Everything is hideously overpriced."
• "£20 for any and all roasts, including vegetarian."
• "The only ice cream flavours available are maple and ginger."
• "The available beers were listed on a blackboard with no description of what they were like, when the beer arrived we didn't enjoy it at all."
• "It is expensive though (cheapest pint is about £4.20, craft keg beers go up from there), and can get very busy."
• "The prices of the keg beers are borderline obscene, certainly the most expensive I've seen anywhere in the UK."
• "Decent enough beer, but the real ale is incredibly expensive for what it is."

Food Quality

Pros:

• "Scotch egg and chicken wings to start - both fantastic."
• "Everything on the charcuterie board are nice, scotch eggs are tasty, croquettes are yummy."

• "Food was amazing, I had the Turmeric & Yoghurt Marinated Chicken, def recommend!"

Cons:

• "One of our meals was forgotten about so not great."
• "The last 3 visits all had significant issues with both the length of time to receive meals and the accuracy of the food delivered."
• "Service was terrible. Food taken away before we were finished."
• "Unfortunately the food left a lot to be desired. The vegetarian roast dinner was foul - the fake meat was practically inedible."
• "The hangar steak was requested at a medium but was more of a rare, and had no flavor."
• "The portion of fish was minuscule, the side described in great words on the menu was mainly potatoes in an unappetising creamy sauce."
