Beers on 5pm 2.3.11

Adnams Oyster Stout, Woodfordes Wherry, Oakham Inferno, Nethergate Priory Mild, Oakham Tera, Brass Monkey Golden Monkey and Nethergate Dewdrop
Hopefully there will be something that you like there. We are fairly limited while the tap room is being finished so all ales are being served from the cellar using handpumps. It won't be long before we are back to full strength.
We will try and update the beers as we go but at least once a day.

Opening times

Hi Folks, well it's been a couple of weeks since the last update. At one stage we thought we wouldn't be able to open until Tues but everyone has worked really hard and we will be open on Monday 28 Feb at 5pm. While the conservatory and kitchen are finished, we will be opening for drinks only in the bar area, which means that unfortunately no children will be allowed.
Hours will be Mon - Thurs 5 - 11. Fri 4 - 11. Sat 12 - 11. Sun 12 - 10.30.
While the kitchen is closed, please feel free to bring in a take-away, we can provide plates and cutlery if needed.
Hopefully the scaffolding will go up at the end of this coming week so the roof can be done.
There are photos on Facebook and they will be on the website tomorrow or Monday. Hope to see you soon
Terri and Jethro

Progress

Well folks, the roof has now been taken off the conservatory so hopefully it won't rain too much later on. We have discovered why the rain came in when there was a downpour, the brickwork had come apart and there was a big gap above the arch in the conservatory!!! Next week the interior walls will come down and the new walls will be starting to be built, inside and out, so more pictures next weekend.
There are photos on Facebook and also on the website www.the-cambridgeblue.co.uk

Building Works

We now have a start date. Mon 24th Jan. This means the garden and passageway will be out of bounds from then until the work is finished. The whole pub will be closed from Monday 31st Jan and the bar only will re-open on Monday 28th Feb. We will only be able to serve beers from the cellar but you can bring your own food or order a meal and eat it at the pub, we can supply plates and cutlery.
The opening hours until the work is finished will be Mon - Fri 5 - 11.
Sat and Sun 12 - 11
So hopefully you will pop in and see the progress
