My misfortune again to be working on a Saturday, but I didn't really mind as this was in one of my favourite parts of Cambridge - Mill Road. It's quite a bohemian part of town with many restaurants and an excellent array of pubs, one of which I go to for dinner - The Kingston Arms.
This is probably my favourite pub in Cambridge, as it's a Freehouse with an excellent selection of beers, decent food, a nice little garden, interesting decor free internet, a limited recession menu and friendly staff - a winning combo in any city I think you'll agree. It has 5 or 6 excellent ales consistently on tap (JHB, Summer Lightning, Landlord, Brewers Gold and Wherry from what I remember) and the same amount again of changing guest beers.
The place is busy, but we manage to find a table in the garden under shelter from the summer showers. For dinner, I have the braised chicken leg with mushroom gravy, mash and green beans off their Specials board, which is good and reasonably priced at £10 with a couple of pints of the Summer Lightning. I have no dessert but look on slightly enviously as a couple of my friends tuck into the homemade chocolate brownie with ice cream. It is pretty much closing time when I finally exit - a good night.
