Arched into the cobbled lane of Trinity Street, behind a mustard yellow door, an all-day bar-café cuts loose. Crowds of regulars turn up, drink, snack, kick back, relax, decide to stay for a meal. A full-on feast or just a good old knees-up. On the menu, knock-out cocktails rub up against Snacks, Savouries, Curries and some. Special collabs with local breweries join in. On the decks, resident DJs bounce beats. Feet tap, spirits lift, Aunties groove. Permit Room Cambridge, step inside. The vibe never dims.
The Plough and Fleece is a beautiful country pub set in the delightful village of Horningsea. The timber framed public house and restaurant combines both a formal and informal atmosphere providing a fine modern dining room at the rear and a traditional rustic bar with informal eating tables at the front. We offer a large range of drinks to cater to all customers including cask and keg beers and a large spirits selection. Summer days and warm evenings can be spent in the large beer garden with views over fields to the river Cam, where children and dogs are welcome. If you are looking for a place to come for a few pints of good beer, a light lunch or evening meal, the Plough and Fleece will take care of you and provide a very warm welcome.
The Champion of the Thames, aka The Champ, is a traditional old boozer in the heart of Cambridge, frequented by students (most notably on quiz nights), locals (most notably every other night but quiz night), and by visitors to the city, who are more than likely being toured around King Street by the locals who know where all the city's best kept, off-the-beaten-track, secret gems are, and that's how YOU will more than likely find your way to us. You could also just google it or ask your friendly BID / Visit Cambridge Ambassador usually based around Market Square!
