Accommodation
Eat & Drink
Borne of feasting yet of our time, our restaurant is a meeting place, a confluence of old and new where university hall meets velvet-upholstered club. Enjoy the freshest East Anglian produce on every plate and return to good, unpretentious British cooking.

Meetings and Events
The University Arms Hotel and Parker’s Piece have been the location of choice for great feasts and celebrations throughout Cambridge’s history. The same celebratory spirit that brought 15,000 people onto the green for Queen Victoria’s Coronation in 1838 remains to this day — whether a graduation party in Parker’s Tavern, a board meeting in the library, or a conference in the Ballroom.
