About The Free Press

Tucked into a quiet Cambridge neighbourhood away from the tourist crush, this is a proper little pub — cosy, warm, two fires going in winter, and the sort of relaxed room where nobody minds a bit of noise from your table. There's a front patio for warmer days, useful if you've a pram in tow, plus high chairs and a kids' menu. Walk-ins are usually fine, though Sunday afternoons can see the kitchen run low on food, so come earlier if you're set on a roast. The scotch egg gets the most love — jammy yolk, crunchy shell — alongside crisp fish and chips, generous cheesy chips, and a good cask ale list for grown-ups. Staff are friendly and quick to put things right. One visitor calls it "a great spot on a chilly winters day".
