Pub · Cambridge
Handy for a lunch stop before a train, this Cambridge pub turns out to be far more than standard station fare. The rooms are cosy and buggy-friendly, with high chairs, a kids' menu and outdoor tables when the weather holds. Staff are generally good with young children — one family arriving with two little ones were handed colouring to keep them busy while food came. The roast chicken gets warm praise, and portions feel decent rather than mean; the fish and chips is the one dish people grumble about, with heavy batter and not much fish. It's lively early evening and quietens later, and you can book ahead — worth asking for a booth if you want a corner to spread out in. Not cheap once drinks are added: four adults with mains and pints ran to around £200.
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.
