The Elm Tree
A tiny, friendly Cambridge back-street local with remarkable Belgian beers, kind staff, outdoor seating and high chairs — cosy rather than roomy.

Thai · Cambridge
It looks like a pub from the street — and the entrance is easy to miss, so head past the bar area — but the kitchen turns out proper Thai food, and there's plenty here for a family. Portions land generously and arrive fast, which matters when someone's hit the wall; the pineapple fried rice, Panang curry and minced pad kra pao get named again and again, alongside good Thai milk tea. The dining room and toilets are roomy and clean, there's buggy access, high chairs and a kids' menu, and the garden out the back is a lovely spot in warm weather. Free parking too. Staff are warm with everyone who comes through the door — one parent says they "couldn't do enough." Drinks are on the pricier side, and it can feel a bit stuffy inside on a full night.

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.
