Restaurant · Cambridge
Riverside setting is the real draw here — a garden that looks out over the water, with deck chairs to sink into and self-service if you'd rather stay outside with the pram than manage a table indoors. That makes it an easy stop mid-wander around Cambridge with kids in tow. There's a kids' menu, high chairs, buggy access, vegan options and free parking, which takes the usual logistics out of it. Food is genuinely good when it lands — the sharing plates of grilled flatbread, hummus and burrata suit a table of mixed appetites, and the ravioli and steak get real praise. Large groups have been looked after well. Service can be uneven, though: some families breeze through, others have waited a long while between courses. Worth booking a garden table on a sunny day.
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.
