At University Arms Hotel, we believe great dining experiences go beyond the food on the plate. They are about conversation, connection, and the people you share the table with. That’s why we’re partnering with Join The Table, a platform that brings diners together through shared dining experiences. Hosted at Parker's Tavern, these events invite guests to book an individual seat at a communal table and enjoy an evening of great food while meeting new people. Whether you’re visiting Cambridge, dining solo, or simply looking for a different way to experience Parker’s Tavern, Join The Table offers a welcoming and relaxed setting to connect over a meal.
Join The Table is a social dining platform that connects people who love eating out with others who share the same passion for food, conversation, and new experiences. Across the UK, participating restaurants, pubs, hotels, and cafés host shared tables, where guests can reserve individual seats and enjoy dining in a more social setting. The idea is simple: bring people together through food.
Browse Join The Table events hosted at participating venues, including Parker’s Tavern. Book your seat: Reserve an individual seat at the shared table for your chosen date. Arrive and Join the Table: On the day of the event, you’ll be seated with other diners who have also booked their place. It’s an opportunity to meet new people, enjoy great food, and experience dining in a more social way. And there’s no need to worry about the bill, all payments are handled individually.
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. From early in the morning until late at night, Parker’s Tavern hums with conversation, with waiters carrying plates piled high with delicious food. With views over Parker’s Piece and the historic city, it provides the perfect backdrop for a shared dining experience.
