For those with a sweet tooth

Dinky Doors Afternoon Tea

If a Sunday roast isn’t quite his style, our Dinky Doors Afternoon Tea is a gentler way to celebrate, and one with a story behind every bite.

A collaboration between Parker’s Tavern and Cambridge’s best-kept secret, Dinky Doors, the tiny, intricately crafted miniature doors hidden in plain sight across the city, each sweet on the menu is an edible replica of an actual door. The savouries are classics, done with quiet confidence: freshly baked scones with homemade jam and clotted cream, delicate finger sandwiches, and a golden sausage roll.

Unhurried, considered, and rooted in Cambridge. A thoughtful way to spend a Father’s Day afternoon.

Make a day of it

Cambridge has plenty to offer before you pull up a chair. Here are a few ways to fill the morning:

Punting on the River Cam — Float past the famous colleges, spot wildlife, and weave through weeping willows for a genuinely memorable Cambridge morning. Scudamore’s offer private punts, paddleboarding, and even a Treasure Hunt for the competitive families among you.

Watch the World Cup — By Father’s Day weekend the FIFA World Cup will be well and truly warming up. Parker’s Piece, the birthplace of modern football, is the most fitting place in the country to watch a match. If Dad prefers a seat indoors, the University Arms Library Bar has towering windows overlooking the park and makes a near-perfect viewing spot.

King’s College Open Air Cinema — Pack a picnic and settle in for an outdoor film in one of Cambridge’s most spectacular settings, surrounded by historic college buildings and expansive gardens.

Free in the city — Jesus Green, Midsummer Common and The Backs cost nothing and offer exactly the kind of unhurried morning a good Father’s Day deserves.
