What a great venue and perfectly suited our 28 guests in their private room for a fabulous drinks reception with great meze platter catering. From the booking through Tagvenue, to the on the night service by their manager Julio and team member Charlie - we had a fabulous and succesful event.

Cozy place, good location, great attention prior to the event, kind staff, affordable venue. They supported us to accommodate our guests in other areas of the restaurant as well.

There was a booking straight after my booking, so already 30 minutes before the end of my booking, I had to start wrapping up, cleaning, etc. It's not good to start moving the guests in the middle of the event and telling them to go to another place. Because of this, many guests left earlier than anticipated. The catering was good in taste but not ideal for sharing. I would have liked it better if there were more options that people could grab with their hands. The place is too small to seat 30 people, as the ad indicated. They fit 30, yes, but too tight.

About 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!
