Arched into the cobbled lane of Trinity Street, behind a mustard yellow door, an all-day bar-café cuts loose. Crowds of regulars turn up, drink, snack, kick back, relax, decide to stay for a meal. A full-on feast or just a good old knees-up. On the menu, knock-out cocktails rub up against Snacks, Savouries, Curries and some. Special collabs with local breweries join in. On the decks, resident DJs bounce beats. Feet tap, spirits lift, Aunties groove. Permit Room Cambridge, step inside. The vibe never dims.

The Champion of the Thames Pub
The Champion of the Thames, aka The Champ, is a traditional old boozer in the heart of Cambridge, frequented by students (most notably on quiz nights), locals (most notably every other night but quiz night), and by visitors to the city, who are more than likely being toured around King Street by the locals who know where all the city's best kept, off-the-beaten-track, secret gems are, and that's how YOU will more than likely find your way to us. You could also just google it or ask your friendly BID / Visit Cambridge Ambassador usually based around Market Square!
