How to Find Us

The Punter Pub is only a ten minute walk from the market square and only two minutes from the famous Quayside punting on Magdalene Street. We have culture too with the Museum Of Cambridge and Kettles Yard both close by. If you're on a UK tour and plan to include stops at other University cities then please pay a visit to our sister pub in Oxford, equally scrappy and offering a new exciting vegetarian and vegan menu. Please be sure to let them know that we sent you!

View fullsize Mooooood. Says it all really. But oooooooo I want to say more. I can’t help it. You all know it. I know you do. But can I just say it? Just once? IT’S REALLY HOT. We’ve remained open because, it seems, that’s just what we do.
