Punter, The (Cambridge)

A real gastropub came to Cambridge with the opening of The Punter in the summer of 2007.

Here is finally a place where you can come in for a drink and stay for a fine meal at the completely refurbished and remodelled site on the corner of Pound Hill and Northampton Street.

Everyday you'll find a new menu posted on the blackboard, with a selection of starters mains and puddings, prepared by chef Paul Fox, The Punter formerly of the famous Primrose Hill gastropub. He does English and French peasant food for your table. Complement the fine food with a selection of over 90 wines and the best beers.

At major expense this famous was completely renewed, and now seats more than The Punter 150 in old world style and comfort. The new venue includes two bars, a cozy front room, a former barn with a second bar, an oak panelled private dining room with 10 metre high ceiling and a courtyard opening on to the street and separated from it by a wrought iron gate. The private room holds 8-16 people, and is available to hire free of charge. The whole barn is also available for hire for up to 50 people.

The Punter adds more than a new dining option -- it's a place to be with food worth dropping in for -- or coming to enjoy from a distance. On Sundays you can dine all day.

The Punter is 5 minutes or less from Bridge Street and the town centre and offers easy parking on Pound Hill just outside the door.
