The Old Spring

I have been to the old spring a few times as the food etc always good. I do feel however that food is overpriced. I had a chicken Caesar salad which was delicious but at £14 it was expensive as this didn’t even have bacon which would have been a further £2.50. I had a Caesar salad at an Arbuckles a few months ago which had chicken and bacon for £9.95. Obviously not much skill needed for this salad so to have to pay £6.55 more in the old spring I felt was over the top. Love the pub but some food I think is too expensive.

Took a punt using Open Table. Very welcoming ambiance and staff. Wide menu choice with interesting / authentic grilled chicken, falafel and burger options. Cod gujon starter was outstanding - white, flaky fish and very light batter. Overall, Food was excellent and service spot on. Drinks a bit expensive, but highly recommended and would definitely return.

Excellent in every respect: there really isn't anything more to write!

Lovely meal, good choice and good service 😊
Nice open fire🔥

Just love the food and service here

Great food and service. Will be back

Really nice, good atmosphere friendly staff and good food

I have lunch here once a month with a friend and it''s absolutely reliable. I have taken to having the gougons which are hot fresh and delicious and I can always park. Hurrah!

Great pub. Food good quality and generous. Friendly service.

Good to see the menu has been updated since our last visit . Food was very tasty and plentiful, service pleasant and very smooth.

Regular diners at old spring, menu recently has become smaller, but still good.

Love going to the Old Spring. Delicious hot goujons and easy parking but are they quietly increasing their prices I ask myself?

Great food, excellent service - group of 10 booked easily and everyone had a good time A+++

Excellent food and service. The waiter was very attentive and food was a step above average pub grub. Ambiance was not too noisy for a pub. The dining area was fine although a little sparce. Situation is not bad ... although not very convinent for the centre of town.

All of us who ate had great food and the service certainly matched, will definitely be going back again!

Great place to stop in for a pint and fish n chips. Recommended by a colleague who spent 10 years in Cambridge a little while back. Staff was great and it seemed like most of the other patrons were there with friends or family (adults). Will go back.

Always good, food well prepared, good selection of beers, plenty of options as where to sit but best to book,staff well trained, can’t fault the place

- We reserved online and came round to check and still we were 'lost' on the day. Perhaps because it for outside and then it was raining
- I thought the fishcake was quite nice but overpriced
Otherwise fine!

I have drunk and eaten at the Old Spring for more than a dozen years. It's a nice pub, with a great ambience and a good selection of beer. However, do not mistake the restaurant and food now with how it used to be. My wife and I ate there last week (mid-July 2019). The menu was a quarter the size it used to be, with only 8 items on it's Mains menu. My wife had the stuffed aubergine. I had the lamb kofta. When the food arrived I was struck by how tiny the portions were, and mentioned to the server. My wife had half of one of the smallest aubergines I've ever seen, with some kind of filling, a small pot of humus (why?) and a few lettuce leaves -- £15. I had three small dry lamb koftas sitting on a rock hard pitta bread and a bowl of chips (actually the only edible thing we had between us) -- £16. In the past you could get a ham hock and shallot pie and chinky chipes for £16. A good portion and delicious. Or a comfit duck leg with kale and jus for £18. Or a vegetarian beetroot and quinoa salad for £13. Every meal I've had at the Old Spring in the past has been good or very good, and good value for a real meal. But what they are serving now is a very small menu, with tiny portions of low quality food at sky high prices. I will still drink there, but will never eat there again.
