About The Mitre
The pub’s location is a real bonus. It’s just off Bridge Street, making it ideal for a pint after punting on the River Cam or a wander around the city’s central colleges. Inside, you’ll find a welcoming atmosphere and a mix of locals, students, and tourists. Staff are friendly, service is prompt, and there’s plenty of seating whether you’re dropping in for a drink or settling in for a meal.
What’s good here? The food. The Mitre specialises in hearty, traditional English fare. Expect comforting classics like steak and ale pie, fish and chips, bangers and mash, and Sunday roasts. Most mains sit between £12–£18, offering decent value in a central location. There’s also a good selection of ales and lagers, including rotating cask options and national favourites.
Whether you’re after a quiet lunch, a pint with riverside views nearby, or a truly British pub experience, The Mitre is a must-visit spot for any Cambridge explorer.
