Old Bicycle Shop

In 2013, a much-loved Cambridge institution closed its doors after 173 years’ trading. Howes Cycles claimed to be the oldest bicycle shop in the country and rumour has it that Charles Darwin, famed for his ‘Theory of Evolution’, bought a bike from this shop in the 1800s.

 

Fast forward a century or two and you’ll now find this quaint old building has a new lease of life – as a bar and restaurant, with a quirky interior designed to celebrate the heritage of the original shop.

 

Saddles and handlebars have been cleverly designed as wall art and everywhere you look, bicycle parts have been fashioned into ornaments or table lamps. Open all day for brunch, lunch and dinner, The Old Bicycle Shop provides a unique setting for all sorts of occasions, from a quick coffee and brunch to a special dinner with friends. We take pride in serving fresh, locally-sourced food for all tastes, with plenty of tempting choices for the vegetarians and vegans among you.

 

Settle down and enjoy the sheltered sun in our courtyard, or just grab a pint and watch the world go by. You can also use one of our private spaces for a business meeting or special occasion. We look forward to welcoming you soon!

📔 📚 Weekly history Lesson 📚 📙 Velocipede is a human-powered land vehicle with one or more wheels. The most common type of velocipede today is the bicycle. Among the early velocipedes there were designs with one, two, three, four, and even five wheels. Some two-wheeled designs had pedals mounted on the front wheel, while three- and four-wheeled designs sometimes used treadles and levers to drive the rear wheels. #history #historyinpictures #cambridge #bicycle #funfact

Sustainable September

In 2021 Cambridge achieved a ‘Silver’ Sustainable Food Places award from national food and farming charities SUSTAIN, The Soil Association and Food Matters. The city is rightly proud of this fantastic achievement, but the multiple crises facing our food systems – and our communities – become closer and more pressing by the day.

Book a table during September to try some of our delicious sustainable treats – we will also be featuring some delicious organic, natural, orange and pet nat wines so if your a fan of something funky you know where to find it

Finally we will be showcasing British ingredients as much as possible from local grown veg to locally baked bread by Fitzbillies so why not pop in for Brunch, lunch and dinner as well as drinks in our bar or covered terrace to show your support. #yeswecam
