The Burleigh Arms, Cambridge

Dinner in the pub tonight, The Burleigh Arms (confusingly not on Burleigh Street in Cambridge) and I'm tempted by the Steak and Kidney pie on the blackboard. This will be beautiful, chunks of beef falling apart under a fork's nudge in a beautifully savoury gravy contained within a top and a bottom of pastry with mash... but hang on, hang on. This a pub, much as this is one of the best pubs in the city, it's still worth checking if a pie in this place means stew in a ceramic dish with a pastry lid. Unfortunately that is exactly what it means here. I choose instead a Burger with Bacon and Stilton Cheese with Chips. Still at under £7.00 for this lot it is good and it is a hell of a lot better value than most places in Cambridge. This is a good pub; there's a Billy Connelly impersonator on tonight and after finding that my pint of Bombardier is off, they are more than happy to replace it and bring it over to where I am sitting, free of charge. An excellent pub.
