Independent Cambridge - a thriving community pub

The colourful and informative book, Independent Cambridge, celebrates the fantastic range of independent retailers we have on our doorstep. Read this week about The Earl of Beaconsfield.

October 2012 saw the new-look Earl of Beaconsfield open its doors when Susie Hinchliffe made the change from being a pub regular to being its licensee.

As well as looking for a new challenge, Susie had always been on the lookout for a pub that served lovely wine as well as lovely real ales – and that was a place where female pub-goers could feel comfortable. Add to this a wide range of lagers and ciders, great whiskies, music and food, and the pub’s philosophy starts to become very obvious.

The refurbishment of the Beaconsfield saw a new, welcoming interior, with neutral colours and the nice table-top addition of flowers and candles, a planted courtyard area and a separate pool room off the garden.

Susie has also installed an Italian pizza oven to be able to serve hungry customers a range of stone-baked pizzas.
For wines and whiskies, Susie works with another local independent – Cambridge Wine Merchants – whose experts help to select the tempting range.

Add an ever-changing choice of superb Cask Marque real ales, a selection of refreshing draught lagers, two draught ciders and a growing number of American and European craft lagers and the result is a pretty impressive bar!

So, to the music! A packed weekly calendar sees acoustic and blues jams, Irish folk sessions, and guest acts playing everything from traditional jazz standards through to gypsy swing.

The Beaconsfield has it all – including the most lovable pub dog ever – Smoky Bacon!
