Stumbled across the restaurant whilst trying to avoid all the chain ones. Well what a find!! We were there on a Sunday, I had roast beef and my daughter the chicken, my wife had beef joint that came with sticky rice and bao bun etc. all 3 were top drawer! We sat inside as was a little hot outside, but plenty of room in the garden and lots of nostalgia inside, trying to guess all the names of the pics of famous visitors on the walls

A hidden gem nestled within the historic Cambridge Union, a perfect spot for catching up with friends. The staff were exceptionally helpful, with special thanks to Jack.
