Pub · Cambridge
Right on the Cam beside Midsummer Common, this is the kind of pub where you can let the pushchair sit on the terrace while everyone watches rowers train and runners go past — genuinely entertaining for children who won't sit still. There's masses of outdoor seating, so even on a busy summer weekend there's usually room; inside it turns cosy in winter. High chairs, a kids' menu and buggy access are all sorted, and the staff get warm mentions. Prices are fair for what it is, and the Korean chicken burger, the fries and the cheesecake come in for real praise. Two honest snags: kitchen waits can be long — one family was quoted 45 minutes and waited far longer — and the fish and chips is hit and miss. Come hungry-ish, not starving.
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.
