The Duke of Cambridge

A lively, central Cambridge pub that slots easily into a day of shopping, wandering, or "we'll just grab one." The Duke of Cambridge sits right by the Grafton area, making it a natural pit stop when you're already out and about — and dogs are welcome inside on lead, so nobody needs to do the pavement-waiting shuffle.

Inside, it's bright, modern, and built for easy-going visits — whether that's drinks with friends or a full sit-down meal. The menu leans into reliable pub classics (think fish and chips, pies, burgers) alongside a few updated options, so it's a safe bet when everyone wants something slightly different.

There's a steady, social buzz to it too, with plenty of space, a beer garden for warmer days, and a drinks list that covers everything from cask ales to cocktails. It's unfussy, flexible, and designed for those in-between moments — when you need somewhere easy, central, and ready to go with a lead in one hand and a pint in the other.
