Looking for a pub with a play area near Cambridge? The Old Crown is a historic thatched pub in Girton, just outside Cambridge, with a children's play area in the garden, a children's menu and high chairs. Children are welcome until 9pm, and there is free on-site parking behind the pub.
The play area and the garden
Our wooden children's play area, with a slide, is in the garden, alongside the terrace and picnic tables. The garden is fully fenced. Inside there are pub games for a rainy day.
The children's menu
Our children's menu has Nuggets, Scampi, Chicken Pakora, Popcorn Chicken and CTM / Korma, from £6.25. High chairs are available; just ask when you arrive or mention it when you book. If your child has a food allergy, please tell us before ordering and see our allergen information.
Something for the grown-ups
Our kitchen cooks Nepalese dishes such as momo, chicken rum rum and bhutuwa, Indian favourites and British pub classics like fish & chips and burgers, so a mixed table is easy to feed. Spice levels can be adjusted: just ask. See what to order, our vegetarian guide or the full menu.
Bring the dog too
Well-behaved dogs are welcome in the pub and in the garden, so the whole family can come. More in our dog-friendly guide.
Easy to get to, easy to park
There is free on-site parking behind the pub, a step-free entrance and an accessible toilet. We are at 89 High Street, Girton, CB3 0QD, close to the A14 and a short trip from Histon, Impington, Oakington, Longstanton, Northstowe, Bar Hill, Dry Drayton, Madingley, Coton and Comberton.
