Restaurant · Cambridge
Tucked in the heart of Cambridge, this is a smart, relaxed spot where the outdoor seating area is the real prize with children — plenty of room to spread out, and buggy access throughout if you're arriving with a pram. Portions are generous and food comes out fast, which matters when someone is melting down: burgers, chicken and pork in pita, and a much-loved Sunday roast with tender beef. The three-course lunch deal at around £24 is genuinely good value for what lands on the table. There's a kids' menu, high chairs, vegan options and clean facilities. Staff are warm and welcoming, though a few families have found service a touch hands-off at busy times, and there's a small charity surcharge on the bill. Dogs are welcome too, which is rarer here than you'd think.
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.
