Panton Arms
A roomy, genuinely friendly Cambridge local off the tourist trail, with a heated garden, high chairs and a kids' menu — ring ahead about food.

Pub · Cambridge
Sunday-roast-and-a-burger territory rather than anything fussy, with a separate kids' menu so children get something they'll actually finish instead of a scaled-down adult plate. Gluten-free options are on hand too, which takes the stress out of eating out with a coeliac child. High chairs are there for the under-twos, and step-free access means you can push a buggy straight in without hunting for someone to help lift it. It's a lively room rather than a hushed one — good news if your toddler is having a loud day — and worth booking ahead.

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.
