The Free Press is a dimly-lit, century-old pub with a fireplace and an intimate walled garden serving British cuisine. One of Cambridge’s most historic pubs, The Free Press has been quenching thirsts for over 120 years and has seen many a change in the area. On the fireplace wall you can look at a survey map from 1888 where you can see for yourself what’s changed in the intervening years. The pub got its name from when it was a printing press which circulated a free Cambridge newspaper. Unfortunately it only lasted one issue, but the name survived. The walls are adorned with front pages of old newspapers to commemorate this piece of trivia. The Free Press has been awarded the Cask Marque for outstanding cask beer quality. This award is independently inspected and is based on several different factors including the temperature of the beer, the aroma and how it is served.

Super cosy, historical - dare I say mythical - pub. There's always plenty of people having a drink or grabbing a bite, we particularly like to go and play some board games that are freely available. You cannot come to Cambridge and not visit The Free Press!
