Restaurant · Cambridge
A traditional village pub with a roaring open fire inside and, out the back, picnic benches, flowers, a covered area and a play area big enough that children can run about without being on top of you — one family found it "so much more than expected". There are three distinct areas, so there's usually somewhere to park a pram, and it stays roomy rather than cramped. High chairs, a kids' menu (which includes a roast on Sundays), free parking and vegan choices are all sorted. The food gets real praise: crispy fish and chips with homemade tartare, generous roast beef with cauliflower cheese, veggie lasagne, a filling jerk chicken bowl. Food usually arrives quickly even when it's full. Worth booking at busy times — walk-ins have occasionally been turned away for food.
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.
Afternoon tea in your own restored train compartment — generous, unhurried, and with high chairs, free parking and no rush to leave.
Friendly village pub with a play area, garden and free parking — great Sunday roasts and reasonable prices, though noise tolerance varies.
