Hidden in a quiet Cambridge street sits the Panton Arms. This isn’t just any pub. It’s a local gem. It’s been a Cambridge fixture for around fifty years. It’s tucked away down a leafy street.
The Panton Arms boasts a sun-drenched cobbled yard perfect for summer evenings. Inside two spacious bars await those chilly winter nights. Manager Steve Snudden took over just before the pandemic. Despite challenges he and his team revived the pub’s fortunes. It’s a hidden gem Steve says. They want to be found though. The Panton Arms is more than just a building. It’s a community hub. Locals and students mingle here. Live music often fills the air.
The Panton Arms offers a wide selection of drinks. Cask ales IPAs beers and lager are all on tap. There’s a good wine list too. Gin lovers will find plenty to choose from. Even Aspall cider is available. The food is gastro-pub style. Chef Melissa Cook brings her Selfridges experience to the menu. Think Panton burgers hotdogs and fish and chips. Vegetarians and vegans are well catered for too. There are always chef’s specials and weekly favourites. The homemade scotch eggs are a particular highlight. The Thai fish curry is also excellent.
The Panton Arms is more than just a place for a drink and a meal. It’s a piece of Cambridge history. It’s part of a larger site. Originally it was occupied by a brewery. Now it’s a lively pub with a warm atmosphere. A place where memories are made. The missing N from the pub sign? It’s a yearly tradition. A fun little quirk for the silly season. The Panton Arms is a place you won’t soon forget. So step inside and experience its charm for yourself.
