Atmosphere and Decor
Pros:
"Modern British Pub feel. Large but cosy with lots of drink options."
"The restaurant has a nice atmosphere and I do appreciate the friendly hospitality."
"Visited the Station Tavern with really good friends... The atmosphere is a really lovely mix of modern bar/ traditional pub."
"A fabulous and inviting establishment with a mahoosive choice of beverages, it also offers a food menu."
"Nice place to come in for a warm, cosy feel and a long lunch."
"Nice vibe, friendly staff, great wine list, reasonably priced."
"The BEST place to sit and relax on your way to/from the station - the antidote to the stress of commuting."
"A pretty good place to spend an evening. Drinks selection is nice."
Cons:
"The smoked haddock and clam chowder is a bit too salty to our taste."
"I wouldn't recommend it if you're just about to catch a train from the nearby station and need a quick meal."
"The service is pretty bad. I’ve been to the tavern 3 times... In two of those visits the waiter ‘forgot’ about my order."
"Over 50 minute wait for breakfast... However, when the full English turned up it was completely inedible!!"
"One of the worst places I’ve eaten in a while... small portions - dried out bread - tough meat - overcooked fish."
"Service was non-existent, even though the place was empty I had to seat myself, find my own food menu."
"Service was very poor too. After they brought one of us the wrong order, they took another 10 min to come by and tell us they can't make the order again."
"Service is ridiculous. I've seen people come in (myself included) look confused, stand around for a while with no one approaching them, despite it being very slow."
Food Quality
Pros:
"Food is good too. Fish&Chip and Pork Roast are good."
"I did enjoy my Sausage and Mash dish, though perhaps the pricing is not for me."
"Always pop in when I can... I’ve eaten here a couple of times too and the food always reaches the same high standard."
"The English breakfast was great. Initially the chef sent it with my beans and scrambled eggs mixed up and I complained to the waiter and it was rectified immediately."
"Came here after a lecture. Nice vibe, friendly staff, great wine list, reasonably priced. Ordered a portion of chips before my train ride home."
"The food was pretty good, but the burger arrived on some tiny wooden platter instead of just using a regular plate."
"Hello Station Tavern. It was my wife’s birthday today and we had a amazing experience and the food was the best we’ve had for a very long time!"
"We visited today as part of the doggy afternoon tea event. The afternoon tea was excellent, including the offering for the dogs."
Cons:
"Just the patte in my burger was a little bit overcooked; other than that, everything was amazing."
"The service is pretty bad... the food is good (if you get served that is!)."
"Only disappointment was the 10 chips for £2.50 which I shall avoid the next time."
"However, when the full English turned up it was completely inedible!! Burnt food, presentation was terrible, and food slopped on the plate."
"The kitchen however is a true let down: small portions - dried out bread - tough meat - overcooked fish - and gosh - burning food seems to fashionable."
"Very disappointed meat was red as not cooked sent it back it was returned better colour but so tuff could hardly cut the meat."
"How is it possible to give to your customer completely raw burger?"
"Been in a few times for drinks and have been really impressed... The fish sharing platter was really tasty to start."
Service
Pros:
"The restaurant has a nice atmosphere and I do appreciate the friendly hospitality of the waitresses that served us during our visit."
"Service was attentive and friendly. Only minus was(understandably!) they were very busy and so the food took a while to arrive."
"The staff have always been polite, helpful, and knowledgeable. So I had a try of a few new gins and got a later train!!"
"Fantastic place for a quick bite and a coffee. Premises is clean. Staff is friendly and very helpful."
"I love this cozy tavern and make room in my schedule every time I come to Cambridge. The staff are always friendly and smiling."
"A great experience, all staff went above and beyond to make our group feel special."
"What a great experience, me and my girlfriend came here last Friday and we were so happy with the service."
"You guys are the best people I have ever met in life. When I was stuck in Cambridge, all of you have helped me by letting me use the toilet, giving me a cup of water and charger for me to charge."
Cons:
"The service is pretty bad. I’ve been to the tavern 3 times over the past month. In two of those visits the waiter ‘forgot’ about my order."
"Over 50 minute wait for breakfast. Was offered a free drink (should have been offered a full refund!) during this wait."
"One of the worst places I’ve eaten in a while... the staff was really friendly and on the ball. The kitchen however is a true let down."
"After a moving service at the war memorial I decided to treat myself to roast beef. Very disappointed meat was red as not cooked sent it back it was returned better colour but so tuff could hardly cut the meat."
"Service was non-existent, even though the place was empty I had to seat myself, find my own food menu."
"Service is ridiculous. I've seen people come in (myself included) look confused, stand around for a while with no one approaching them, despite it being very slow."
"Not recommded: very bad service. The setting of this pub is very attractive, but that's the only good thing about it. The service was very slow."
"Stopped here for dinner on Sunday before a bank holiday Monday... Bar staff were all very rude and seemed like you couldn't pay them enough to care."
