Arched into the cobbled lane of Trinity Street, behind a mustard yellow door, an all-day bar-café cuts loose. Turn up, snack, stay for a meal, drink, kick back, relax.
Full-on feasts, serious snackery and good old knees-ups. On the menu, Chaats, Salads, Curries (and Dishoom faves) rub up against knock-out cocktails. Special collabs with local breweries join in. On the decks, resident DJs bounce beats. Feet tap, spirits lift, Aunty’s groove.
Step inside. The vibe never dims.
Permit Room Cambridge is mainly for walk-ins — but we do keep some tables for reservations. For big parties, it’s best to book in advance (you might be spread across some nearby tables in one happy-go-lucky section). After the kitchen has closed, come for a late-night snack and drink (walk-in or book).
