The Sunday Roast menu features Roast Angus Sirloin of Beef, Honey Coated Gammon, Oven Roasted Chicken or Squash Wellington. Served with all the trimmings, Sunday Lunch at Parker's Tavern is an indulgent affair.

    I recently visited Parker’s Tavern, located within the stunning University Arms Hotel in Cambridge, and had a fantastic experience. Although I didn’t stay overnight, I spent a relaxing evening at the bar, and it absolutely exceeded my expectations. From the moment I walked in, I was welcomed by warm, attentive staff who made the entire visit feel special. The service was impeccable—friendly yet professional—and made us feel completely at ease. We ordered a few drinks and some small plates to share, and everything was top-notch. The cocktail menu was creative and well-curated, and the drinks were expertly made. The food was equally impressive—high-quality, beautifully presented, and full of flavor. The ambience at Parker’s Tavern is what truly sets it apart. The interior strikes the perfect balance between elegance and comfort, making it ideal whether you’re there for a casual drink or a more special outing. It’s right in the city center, just beside Parker’s Piece, so it’s easily accessible whether you’re a local or visiting Cambridge. It’s a great spot to chill with friends, enjoy a date night, or even bring your family for a relaxed yet refined outing. I didn’t book a stay this time, but after this visit, it’s definitely on my list for next time. Highly recommend this place for anyone looking for quality food, drinks, and a memorable atmosphere in the heart of Cambridge.

    A group of us dined here on Sunday evening. The food was fantastic (the duck and the pork chop in particular!) and the staff were lovely and very attentive. Friends of ours were celebrating their engagement and the kitchen team sent out a congratulatory plate of truffles on the house. The wine list is great (a good range of varieties and prices) and the desserts were presented very well and very tasty (although the profiterole might be a sharer, it’s huge!). A great atmosphere in a beautiful setting with brilliant staff and food.

    Afternoon tea; My daughters arranged Afternoon tea for a birthday treat. We had a wonderful time. The surroundings were beautiful, atmosphere was lovely, staff were friendly and courteous. We had the Winter Afternoon tea with a glass of fizz. The savoury selection was very tasty 😋 and the Earl Grey tea flavourful. The cake selection was sublime, homemade scones were light and moist, opera cake was zingy, our favourite was the chocolate and berry cake. It was busy but didn't feel crowded. We were able to enjoy a leisurely couple of hours enjoying our meal. Everything was spotless, smart restrooms 🚻 and the aroma as you walked into the building was lovely. A memorable, enjoyable Afternoon tea.
