Western · Cambridge
There's a jazzy, relaxed feel to this Cambridge dining room, and it's often surprisingly quiet even in high summer — which, with a pram to park and a toddler with opinions, is no bad thing. The Sunday roast is the thing families come back for: tender meat and a proper pile of veg. The burger wins over older children, and the chips are fluffy and mildly sweet rather than crisp, so skip them if crunch matters at your table. The chocolate fondant is worth ordering with two spoons. Staff are warm and pace the courses sensibly, though the odd bill error creeps in, so give it a glance. High chairs, a kids' menu and outdoor seating are all here. Fish can arrive under-seasoned, and it's a sit-down-properly meal rather than a quick one.
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.
