Chinese · Cambridge
Sawston's big Chinese dining room is the kind of place that copes easily with a table of six and a toddler — plenty of space between tables for a pram, high chairs, and a team that's genuinely warm with small children rather than just tolerant. The freshly-cooked-to-order taster menu is the draw: everything arrives hot, there's real variety, and nobody gets hurried out at the end of a session. There's a proper gluten-free menu too, which is rare enough to be worth the trip. Free parking opposite makes arrival painless, and vegan options and a kids' menu round it out. Two honest snags: the room runs cold, so keep coats handy, and the décor is dated. One family called it a special trip worth making from out of town.
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.
