Fort St. George

No, I wouldn't recommend it. The garden is lovely on nice days, but the service, food, and selection of ales are disappointing. If you're just looking for a place to grab drinks, it might be okay.

Fort St. George is a typical Greene King pub. The highlight is definitely its location, situated right at Midsummer Common, offering lovely views of the River Cam and the city of Cambridge...

Honestly, I have a preference for the original, historic pub when it was darker, more cramped, and filled with regulars. It had so much character—and so many interesting people!

I still can’t get over how large this pub is, with a sizeable indoor dining area and so many tables outside in different areas. The prize location for me though are the few tables on the bank of the river. It’s a great spot watching the boats pass by and although there’s lots of walkers and cyclists too they never seemed bothersome. Service inside was fast and friendly with all the areas appearing clean and well kept. The food menu has a decent enough range for the weekend although a few more smaller dishes, such as sandwiches, wouldn’t go amiss. Service of main meals was quick though, especially considering how busy the place was, and the quality pretty good. The scampi and chips was a sizeable portion and despite not coming with the option of mushy or garden peas was very tasty. Sauces are in bottles but the staff were good at checking everything was alright, so if you need additional items they’re easy to obtain. Overall it’s a great relaxing spot in a prime location. Prices were as you’d expect and I would happily return again, either for drinks or a meal.

This is a fantastic pub with a wonderful ambiance. I enjoyed a light snack that was both delicious and flavorful. It's hard to find such great value for money these days. I definitely recommend it! They're also dog-friendly, which is a nice touch. It's worth a visit!
