Haymakers, Cambridge

Re-opened in April 2013 after a two year closure it became Milton Brewery's second pub in the city. Popular both with locals and employees from the nearby science park.

There are a number of separate drinking areas: one either side of the door, a snug, and another room off to one side. Dark wood and warm colours abound. To the left of the bar the ceiling has been raised to the rafters. The wood and glass walls around the front door hark back to an older incarnation. Behind is a good sized beer garden. The car park has been converted into the largest pub cycle park in Cambridge. Ramp access at the rear but no accessible WC.

Eight real ales (up to 7 from Milton and at least one guest from micros) including at least one dark, three real ciders or perries plus Moravka unpasteurised lager from Taddington, Derbyshire. Well regarded for its stone baked pizzas (available to take away) but other options exist. Good selection of low alcohol bottles, including German wheat beer.

Returned to the Good Beer Guide in 2014 after a twenty year absence.
