Will Larter left this review about The Petersfield
Slightly upmarket, perhaps, but I don't know anyone who's impressed by empty wine bottles racked between the laths in the ceiling. The licensee had me right first time, "bitter" is my middle name. In this case Southwold Bitter. But I showed an interest in a beer from Cambridge Brew House and was offered a taster: "too sweet", I said, which took him aback (it's his brewery). We reverted to the Adnams. The beer was fine, but the injunction to "sit anywhere, sir" left a slightly off taste in my mouth. Yes, that's exactly where I was planning to sit. Thank you very much.

A slightly upmarket backstreet local with comfortable rooms around a central bar. Patio area at rear. Several good and well-kept ales on, plus ciders.

I thought it was odd to discover a previously unregistered pub on this site in somewhere like Cambridge but there you go. A traditional street corner pub, polished wooden floor, the ceiling rather worryingly lined with wine bottles, shelves of books and games and another containing whisky boxes. A panelled unit had candelabra on top, to the rear, a walled garden has an interesting painted mural of the local area. A muted (thankfully) TV had the dreaded Wimbledon tennis on while music played at a reasonable volume.
The cider festival from the end of June was still being advertised, this visit offered Adnam's Broadside, Cambridge Brew Co King Parade, Crafty Beers Sixteen Strides, Lilley's Mango and Apple cider plus their perry.
A decent pub this, Tuesday has a burger and board game night so the sign said!
