Gastropub · Cambridge
Tucked into a quieter corner of Cambridge, this small pub has been reborn under new owners, and the surprise is the menu — proper Neapolitan pizza with thin, easy-to-chew bases and unusually generous toppings, pasta heavy with seafood, and a Sunday roast with beef so soft it barely needs a knife. The back yard is a genuine find on a warm day, and free parking takes one worry off the list. There's a kids' menu, high chairs, and a good run of vegetarian options; mains sit around £15. Staff are warm — the owners tend to come over and say hello. Two honest notes: it's cosy rather than roomy, so a pram needs thought, and food can take a while, so order something for the children early. Book ahead for Sundays; it fills.
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.
A proper Thai kitchen behind a pub front, with big fast-arriving plates, a back garden, high chairs and free parking.
A tiny, friendly Cambridge back-street local with remarkable Belgian beers, kind staff, outdoor seating and high chairs — cosy rather than roomy.
Converted cricket pavilion with park views, quick service, a mild soup for small palates, high chairs, kids' menu and free parking.
