About

The Architect is Cambridge’s first dedicated Fish & Chip and Pie & Mash bar, offering a modern twist on classic British favourites that have charmed locals and visitors for decades. The menu is built around a ‘design your own’ concept, letting guests create the perfect fish & chips or pie & mash combo, complemented by an impressive selection of real ales, craft beers, and over 20 gins. The cosy, family‑friendly pub boasts indoor and outdoor seating, a welcoming courtyard, and a friendly staff that is especially attentive to gluten‑free and vegan diners. With a vibrant atmosphere, live music on certain evenings, and a reputation for high‑quality, affordable food, The Architect has become a staple of Cambridge’s gastropub scene.
