Review of The Bakers Yard

Cheesy Chips

Found this place out of boredom really. fancied a different venue from the Vine without going too far.

Friendly and relaxed unless they have a party booked as the DJ's tend to bring far too big a sound sytem for the room.

They don't ave a minimum spend on a debit card either which although only a little thing is actualy a great help since the nearest cash machine is over at the Grafton.

Review of Pizza Express

American Hot Please!

Most Pizza Express restaurant's are quiet modern, lots of glass and pine, Cambridge being a class apart does things slightly different. some people say its a Roman styling (not to be confused with the Mcdonalds.) Whatever it is it's very grand with pillars and paintings all giving it a different atmosphere from the usual Pizza Express.

It's a Pizza Express with the ever excellent Dough Balls which are never the same when you buy them from Sainsburys and of course my "usual" of the American Hot

Review of The Penny Ferry

Great summer location

Can't think of a better summer drinking location, right on the Cam with views of green, green and more green. It is almost like being out in the country. Aside from the odd train rumbling past further down the river it's very quiet and as rowing boats dont make much noise very tranquil. This might change on a Saturday as the location is directly across the river from Cambridge Utd. You would be able to hear every cheer from the beer garden, which is a good or bad thing depending on your opinion of the beautiful game!

Loads of tables outside and from what I saw family friendly with space for the kids.

Odd choice of music being piped around the pub though, in an hour I heard Harri Krishner music and the Lighthouse Family mixed in with some Bhangra?

Proper burger

Gotta love this place. London chain invades Cambridge to put the others in the shade!

Great freshly cooked burgers, from surf and turf to something spicy or traditional. Sizeable slabs of Angus cooked up quickly and very recommended

Review of The Langley

Gem of a find

Found this bar totaly by accident while cutting through from Covent Garden. Hidden underground its like you're onto something special for having found it!

Great chilled out venue with dimly lit sofas to relax in. feels like a speak easy with nooks and booths in the dark.

Very modern bar with good selection of cocktails, weekends its a dance venue and can get a bit crushed but during the week for food or a drink on a date its my favourite London bar

Lovely steak

Always seem to end up here for a meal after going to the Emirates Stadium, must be the French connection!

Menu varies but I'll always try to go for the steak or beef dish. Have always been lucky enough to get a table even on busy nights after 10pm but you might want to book if going earlier

Great prices for London too!
