      "description": "Previously known as the Midland Tavern, the Devonshire Arms was rescued from decline and reopened by Milton Brewery in 2010. The renovation retained the proportions of a substantial neighbourhood pub: tall windows, high ceilings, front and rear drinking areas and wooden booths. Its importance is less about untouched historic fittings than successful continuity—an older local returned to serious pub use by a Cambridge-area brewery. The drinks range centres on Milton cask beer, guest ales and an unusually extensive cider selection.",
      "shortDescription": "A revived former railway-side tavern operated by local Milton Brewery, known for Cambridge-brewed cask ale and one of the county's strongest real-cider selections.",

The renovation retained the proportions of a substantial neighbourhood pub: tall windows, high ceilings, front and rear drinking areas and wooden booths. Its importance is less about untouched historic fittings than successful continuity—an older local returned to serious pub use by a Cambridge-area brewery. The drinks range centres on Milton cask beer, guest ales and an unusually extensive cider selection.\n\n02 / The essentials\n\n### The Devonshire Arms: visit essentials\n\n1. 01\n\n   The pub previously traded as the Midland Tavern.\n2. 02\n\n   Milton Brewery rescued and reopened it in 2010.\n3. 03\n\n   It was Milton Brewery's first Cambridge pub.\n4. 04\n\n   The interior retains high ceilings, tall windows and distinct front and rear drinking areas.\n5. 05\n\n   Its cask range strongly features locally brewed Milton beer.\n6. 06\n\n   CAMRA named it Cambridgeshire Cider Pub of the Year in 2025.\n\n03 / The place\n\n### The building in context.\n\nA story written in stone since **2010**.\n\nBuilt\n\nHistoric public house; reopened by Milton Brewery in 2010\n\nStyle\n\nRailway-side neighbourhood public house\n\n04 / Before you go\n\n### Plan your visit\n\n#### Prices & admission\n\nNo admission charge; drinks and food are individually priced.\n\n#### Opening hours\n\nCurrently opens at 16:00 Monday–Wednesday, noon Thursday–Sunday, closing around 23:00 or midnight.
