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 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?

Review of The Boathouse

Nice location, service could be better 
Very large riverside pub in Cambridge. Right on the Cam with a huge four level terrace makes this ideal for a drink if the weathers nice.
Word of warning though, for some bizzare reason they dont have table food service if you sit inside. Instead you're given a buzzer that vibrates when your food is ready, which you then have to trudge back in and collect yourself. Hardly classy service and lost a few points there.
Shame as its great in the summer with views over Jesus Green

Good food, great location 
Nice watering hole in an ideal location when shopping at the weekend.
Very popular with students so gets quite busy.
Try the steak sandwiches, just the right amount of mustard mayo

My "not so" Local
Worth making the effort to visit. bit off the city track but the friendly staff and comfortable atmosphere make it worthwhile.
Try Wednesday steak night as well!
OK for sports on TV but only if it's a game not broadcast on Sky as they've only got freeview.
