Setting and immediate surroundings

Station Tavern occupies the ground floor of the Ibis hotel at 2 Station Square, opened in March 2017 as the first Young's pub in Cambridge. It sits literally steps from the mainline platforms, making it a straightforward stop for anyone arriving or departing by train.

Interior and atmosphere

The space follows a modern industrial style with exposed ducting, bare brick walls and an open kitchen. A peninsula bar dominates the room, keeping service visible and efficient. The overall feel is casual and often busy rather than quiet, suited to quick meals or longer stays for sport screenings.

Food and drink

The kitchen produces seasonal British pub dishes from breakfast and brunch through dinner. Sunday roast is served from midday until 21:30, with a sharer option available. Young's cask ales are the core offering alongside other draught beers, wines and cocktails. Food hygiene rating stands at 5.

Outdoor space and events

An outdoor terrace provides seating directly facing the station, useful for watching trains or waiting for connections. The Sidings function room can be hired for private meals, parties or informal meetings.

Regular programming

Live football and rugby, including Six Nations and World Cup matches, are shown on screen. A Sunday quiz begins at 18:00 with a two-pound entry fee and a maximum of six people per team.
