Pub · Cambridge
One of the oldest pubs in Cambridge, and it looks it — timber frame, beamed ceilings, proper old-English warmth. The trade-off is space: it fills up fast, and larger parties or anyone steering a pram through at peak times will want to book a table ahead. Once you're settled, the food is the draw. The Sunday roast gets the loudest praise — beef pink in the middle, good stuffing, cauliflower cheese, extra gravy handed over without a fuss — and the fish and chips and steak and ale pie both land well. Portions are generous enough to defeat most people. There's a kids' menu, high chairs and buggy access, and the staff are consistently singled out as friendly and quick. Quiz nights get noisy, so a weekday lunch is the calmer bet. Greene King prices, so nothing eye-watering.
A little something creative for your next meal out. Filled with colouring, simple drawing prompts for cute animals, origami and conversation starters designed to bring more play, laughter and connection to the table. 3 free printable packs for toddlers, preschoolers and primary-aged children.
