"Quite possibly the worst pub meal I have ever experienced. Six of us arrived at 1 pm to an almost empty pub and ordered lunch. It took over three quarters of an hour to arrive despite very few other dinners. What did arrive was an abomination! Two of our group had fish and chips, the consensual opinion was that it had been cooked yesterday and then reheated. Dry and tasteless. The burgers were so over cooked it took a pint of beer to wash them down. The garnish in one burger included a thick slice of onion with its root still firmly in place. If a chef can 't even be bothered to slice his vegetables I would suggest he should stay at home. The staff were completely disinterested in being at work and even less interested in their customers. They gave no explanation of why the food took so long to arrive and didn 't, at any point, ask us how the food was. Had we not waited so long, and therefore been extremely hungry, we would have sent the whole lot back. I now regret not having done so. On asking for the bill there was, the now familiar, lack of interest in our thoughts about what we had just been served. I questioned the person accepting my money as to whether he was going to bother to ask. He responded, blankly, asking how was it ? I described how awful the whole experience had been. Another blank look. No apology, no explanation, no offer of a discount, no nothing. If you are considering going to this pub to eat, don 't. The Shakespear or the Port of Call are close by and consistently do much better food. I will not be returning despite this being my local . Sad, it used to be a very good pub."

£6.80 for a pint of peroni is a joke lol. Joke prices. I will not be returning.

Very rude staff. Do not take children. They made us feel very uncomfortable and unwelcome.

I sat at outside part which is next to the footpath. A perfect place in a sunny day, because no building is blocking the sun rays. I had a cold beer and breaded cauliflower wings which were tasty.

Especially on a weekday night this must be Bristol’s warmest little boozer. Very dog friendly and the welcome is very pleasant. They even have an open fire, which is fantastic during -2°C we are having at the moment (Nov 2023).

Had the Sunday menu, a roast. I had belly pork which was tender but not crispy. My friend had chicken which was breast, didn't look really succulent, but looked good. Fairly friendly service. A woman was breast feeding and I had a 10 year old, so reasonably child friendly. Child menu available.

Lovely pub, decent food and service was great. Only small downside was the lack of choice on the deserts for adults and kids. Adults had a choice of two and kids had only icecream. Because everything else was so amazing that part was disappointing. Thank you for a lovely Sunday lunch Cambridge Arms

Food was very poor. Chips were undercooked to the point of being solid and the chicken burger was burnt (at least i knew it was cooked). Starter of Calamari was dripping in oil. Simply bad. Beer was good and the staff were solid. Nice crowd, but £20 on food each when we left 90% of it. Won't be eating there again.

Nice experience, atmosphere and great food. The 6 of us had a starter, main and desert and we thought it was lovely. I didn’t give a 5 star as they forgot one of our starters but it didn’t bother us as we shared our starters and they were plentiful. Good service overall and they couldn’t have done enough for us. We would definitely go back.

Nice pub serving good beers, however sadly the food was really really poor, particuarly so for the price. I had the chicken burger at £14.50 which had a tiny peice of chicken i would have guessed 1/4 of a normal chicken breast) which was dry and tough. The wedges were over cooked, but at the same time not at all crispy. It was a shame, as we liked the pub generally... just dont go for the food unless they sort out their kitchen. Like others have said, despite barely eating our food, our table was cleared without asking how our food was.
