WORDS BY NICOLA FOLEY
Hoppy days
t’s always nice to see a building that’s been boarded up for a while – in this case the former Cambridge Building Society on St Andrew’s
Street – reinvigorated and reopened. And that’s especially true when the end result is as impressive as the Cambridge Tap: a shiny new two-storey super-pub from McMullen’s Brewery. With such a prominent city-centre location, people have been eagerly following the progress of this refurbishment – with many wondering what would be revealed when it eventually opened its doors at the end of 2021. “We are a traditional pub in the heart of the city,” sums up Harry Tann, the general manager. “We serve gourmet burgers and cocktails, and think we’ll become famous for our beer! Cooking will be chef Callum, who is a real superstar,” adds Harry. “He’s travelled up from Cornwall to put his stamp on the Cambridge food scene.” Callum will be whipping up epic burgers, dirty fries, lip-smacking wings and small plates, plus pub favourites such as fish and chips. On the drinks menu, there’s cocktails galore, along with a vast range of craft beer.
FROM BANK TO BOOZER The old Cambridge Building Society has been transformed into a stylish, modern pub with tons of tipples
