The Cambridge

The Cambridge has been serving audiences and thespians its great range of ales for more than 100 years. Part of the Nicholson collection of historic city pubs, this pub near Covent Garden serves a full menu of British classics, but you should really come here for the pies.

Even the familiar shepherd’s pie gets special treatment here, topped with English herb oil mash and served with honey-roasted carrots. Or for something a little different, opt for the venison and malbec pie.

Vegetarians don’t miss out with the likes of potato, spinach and smoked cheddar pie encased in vegetarian suet and puff pastry.
