The Haymakers — Restaurant in Cambridge

This was my review from a couple of year ago: Fantastic pizza that is made to order and customized. I frequently ask for no cheese. Good selection of ciders and Milton Brewry beers. Recently they also have belgian beers including fruit beers! 👍

This is a review from 30.07.2025: this is my local pub and would love to love it, but there are two aspects that make me not want to go there. Firstly, the kitchen staff repeatedly try to feed my dog ham without asking me for permission, and sometimes do it behind my back without asking. This is unacceptable. You cannot feed dogs without owners permission, because there are dogs with dietary requirements (for example some dogs are allergic to pork, and dogs with liver problems can't eat fatty meat, not to mention that ham is way too salty for dogs in general and should not be in their diet at all). Secondly, the staff is unfriendly and unwelcoming. They don't smile, don't greet me at the bar, they often sit and chat together at the end of the bar and make it look very onerous when they need so serve. Please work on your staff's attitude towards both customers,...

Most disgusting and shameful treatment. We ordered our food@7:45 , the girl at the counter was nothing but rude, not giving even the time to complete our order, rushing for no reason. We felt that bad that we didn't carry on ordering the drinks. After over 1hour waiting we asked our refund, none of them cared or said sorry at all. They didn't offer a single thing, not even a bottle of water. We never had an experience like this, one of the guy at the court said that nobody cared about our food order when the mistake was from them not informing us that the kitchen was busy (I'd not even said that, all of us worked in hospitality and that's NOT busy or a reason to treat customers like that) also, we ordered some vegan cheese option, we PAID the extra for that and just at the end when the refund was processed they informed us that wasn't even available. I'm just speechless I used to love this pub, I even worked there many years ago. Now it's just a never...

Yet another pub that has lost it's charm by insisting orders go through their online app. You could be lucky and navigate it quickly or hit access errors and sit there frustrated and thirsty for half an hour. The staff have a grumpy attitude and just plonk your order down and walk away. I went a couple of weeks back and was offered a choice of two vegan pizzas. This time the manager insisted I couldn't have eaten here before as they've never offered vegan pizzas! Why not I wonder? She made me feel like a massive inconvenience. The pizzas are actually tasty and they will do one without cheese if you write a note on the app but I was still paying for cheese I didn't have and no sign of the extra mushrooms I asked for instead. I'm not a big fan of Milton Brewery beers tbh and there are no guest ales on tap, though they have some hugely expensive bottled...
