Gastropub · Cambridge
Tucked into the back streets away from the tourist crowds, this Victorian corner pub rewards the walk — and the free parking helps when you're arriving with a car full of children. Inside it's cosy and candlelit, with well-spaced tables that leave room for a pram, high chairs on hand and a kids' menu, plus outdoor seating when everyone needs air. The food is the real draw: fish and chips locals swear by, an excellent Sunday roast with heaps of potatoes and veg, schnitzel, pies, and steaks cooked in front of you on hot rocks — a genuine bit of theatre for older kids. Sticky toffee pudding and homemade brownie are worth saving room for. Staff are consistently warm and quick. One thing to know: live music nights get lively, so lunchtime or early evening suits younger children better.
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.
