Pub · Cambridge
A proper neighbourhood local where students, dog walkers and families all end up in the same room, and the pizzas are the reason to book a table — two for £15 on the right night, generous, with a vegan option, though the aubergine one can arrive undercooked. The chips get raved about, and the cypress salad is big enough to defeat most adults. There's a decent stretch of outside space, a box of board games that reliably rescues a bored child, and staff who genuinely seem to like people. Free parking, but register your car with the bar or you'll be fined. Drinks are firmly top end — nearly £4 for a child's apple juice — and one parent notes it can get properly busy with a single person on the bar, so allow time for a queue at weekends.
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.
