| Jaipur IPA in a sea of real ales - things got very blurry at this point but I just about remember the pub and I was lucky I wrote the beer name down. Last here 10 years and the beer range was excellent then (and probably the same level of sobriety i.e. not) Booze_Allen - 10 Apr 2013 20:07 |
| Nothing much new to add to my last review other than to say me and a bunch of stag-do crawlers made a bee-line for the Kingston on Sat 1 Dec, and I found exactly what I hoped after a 6-year hiatus - still a corking, thriving little local with a broad array of ales and plenty of good cheer to match. I'm glad nothing had altered here. Still in the Top 5 for Cambridge, surely. All my accompanying chums were newcomers to the pub and concurred that it was a worthy choice. If only we hadn't had so many to visit, we'd have doubtless tarried for longer. Keep it up folks. TWG - 12 Dec 2012 17:58 |
| A fine local in an area of Cambridge that has a variety of top quality pubs. When I visited recently there were eight beers on offer including Hop Back Summer Lightning and Thornbridge Jaipur, which was a little bit too strong for me that early in the evening. the food is also excellent, but do make sure you book as the pub gets rammed very early on in the evening. My only quibble would be that it can get a bit cramped in there, but when a pub is as good as this it is only natural that it will be so popular. ahscum - 1 Dec 2012 19:36 |
| Went there Saturday afternoon.Had a pint of 7.5% Perry which was excellent.Sat outside and ordered two ploughmans lunches and a bottle of pinot grigio blush.The whole meal,drinks and atmosphere were top banana.I thoroughly recommend the Kingston to anyone who fancies a taste of quality. sweeties1975 - 15 Aug 2012 16:35 |
| Previous reviewer, you do realise Jaipur is SUPPOSED to have a creamy head, don't you? It's on their tasting notes! As for creamy head AND being flat, at the same time... can't be both. Anyway, now that that nonsense is out of the way, the Kingston is the usual excellent oasis it's always been. In a sea of pubs with either poorly kept beers, mediocre food, or chavs, this stands out. It has an excellently kept cellar, very good food, oh, and it's the cheapest in the area. The beers are cheaper than other's (see for yourselves!), and they have a 'privilege club' where they regularly have beers around £2!! I could go on, but briefly, cheap, well kept beers, huge range, excellent food, and excellent vibe. And unrelated to my review, but for the girls, Mike and Mark are nice eye candy, and the landlord looks like a Chippendale! BoppyBeeryBee - 28 Jul 2012 23:54 |
