Having just seen some poor reviews on the Free Press. I thought I'd update my review. Continue to come here and have always enjoyed the experience - I guess some of this is a matter of taste. I like its quirkiness, the absence of music, the fact that mobile phone calls are not tolerated and the mismatched furniture. I have... more

The Free Press is well known amongst the more discerning Cambridge beer drinkers, and used by very few of them. It is striking that a lot of the favourable reviews on this site are written by tourists. On the plus side, it was once a decent boozer, frequented by students and rowers.

Having read some effusive reviews of this pub I took my mother and boyfriend there for lunch last week. Definitely NOT worth the schlep from the city centre.

Having spent 2 vacations here, I have never had a bad meal and it is the only place where the barkeep knows my name. The kicker was Wed night a group of visiting college students came in to celebrate a birthday. They asked... more

Only went in for a pint or two at the end of a pub crawl and they kindly ordered us a taxi to get rid of us and our awful singing - any pub that throws out anti-social customers so diplomatically gets my vote. Hope we're not barred! more

nice pub with good pub food. more

great food at a reasonable price, well kept real ales (Batemans XXXB was great last time I went in), and a decent selection of wines. more
