The Architect

Fish & Chip Mastery

The Architect redefines Britain's classic fish and chips with a build-your-own approach. Select from cod, haddock, or other fresh catches, battered to golden perfection. Pair with chunky chips, mushy peas, tartar sauce, or inventive options like samphire and curry sauce. This customization elevates the humble dish into a personalized feast, blending tradition with choice.

Pie & Mash Traditions Reimagined

Hearty pies steal the show, filled with beef and ale, chicken and leek, or seasonal specials from the oven. Mash is creamy and generous, laced with gravy or innovative sauces. The pie selection honors British pub heritage while inviting experimentation, making every plate a comforting yet creative experience.

Beverage Bounty

Ales flow from hand pumps, craft beers dazzle with local and international picks, and gin lovers revel in over 20 varieties. Cocktails and ciders round out the drinks menu, perfectly matched to fried delights or pie pairings. This extensive selection turns meals into extended gatherings.

Pub Ambiance and Setting

Nestled on Castle Street, the venue exudes classic pub warmth with indoor and outdoor seating. Wood accents, cozy lighting, and an inviting layout foster relaxed dining. It's a spot for solo lunches, family dinners, or after-work drinks, seamlessly blending Cambridge's historic vibe with modern comfort.

Special Dietary Innovations

Vegan banana blossom 'fish' mimics the real thing in beer batter, alongside gluten-free fish and chips using dedicated fryers. Many sides and sauces cater to varied needs, ensuring broad appeal without compromising flavor. Sunday lunches and pie nights extend these thoughtful options.

Daily Rhythms and Highlights

Lunch kicks off at noon, with evenings stretching later on weekends. Sharing snacks like Scotch eggs bridge meals, ideal for pre-theater bites or post-shopping unwinds. The Architect captures Cambridge's spirited food scene, drawing locals and visitors to its fryer and oven magic.
