The Cambridge, Liverpool

Very traditional interior, in fact the pub slogan is “built on tradition”. Very popular with students but very quiet in August when I was there, just a few over forties lingering over pints of lacklustre Mansfield cask or some lager or another, the other cask ale choice of Pedigree not being available. Standard keg range, Carling, 1664, Fosters, San Migel and Peroni plus the inevitable Strongbow and Guinness. Strangely for a Marstons pub none of their own smooth. Furnished with well upholstered benches and Britannia tables on a tiled and bare boarded floor, tobacco stained lincrusta ceiling, a little exposed brickwork but mainly buff coloured wallpaper decorated with old family pictures. As I said very traditional. There are two rooms, one with the bar and a second raised area with dart board and tables and chairs. There are quite a few picnic style tables outside to take care of the overspill.
