The St. Radegund

Y (£££) **** Upon entering The Saint Radegund (King Street), Cambridge’s smallest pub, one can’t help but feel that one has penetrated into some private social club where strangers are a bizarre novelty for the staff and regulars. Nonetheless, this freehouse, a veritable Cambridge institution, is cosy and charmingly decorated with Jesus college memorabilia, old maps of Cambridge and antiques. Specialties include Vera Lynn cocktails, and four-pint pitchers, which are sold at a reduced rate. Our only quibble with the Radedund is the fact that a small glass of bog-standard vin de table remains wildly overpriced at £2.50. Saint Radegund is taken from a sixth century saint who gave his name to the Benedictine monastery of St. Mary and St. Radegund, on whose remains Jesus College now stands. No food served.
