The Free Press

(£££) *** The Free Press (Prospect Row) is one of Cambridge’s two non-smoking, non-mobile-phone pubs (you’ll be fined £1 if they see you texting inside!). It’s a pleasant haven in the winter months, with an open fire and a good variety of real ales and whiskies. Low ceilings, old woodwork, antiques, and a lack of piped music, create a calm atmosphere. There is also a pleasant courtyard garden at the back. The kitchen serves a hearty, eclectic menu, a step up from normal pub food. Wine, however, is overpriced. The landlady can be downright aggressive, and the pub is disproportionately favoured by arrogant academics with beards who have built their own reclining bicycles.
