Food & Drink Nearby
Other than your in-room kitchen facilities, we took the decision not to provide catering on site because Histon and Impington offer a delightful range of cafés, restaurants, pubs and takeaways within easy walking distance.
Slightly further afield, Oakington and Girton are around a two-mile walk away across the fields and are well worth exploring.
These are our personal recommendations.
The King William IV Pub
Approx. 3 minute walk
Known locally as the King Bill, this is the closest pub to The Fold. It does not have its own kitchen, but regularly hosts food trucks, often including pizza, burgers and other street-food options.
St Andrew’s Café
Approx. 5 minute walk
A friendly, community café at St Andrew’s Centre, serving traditional café food, drinks and cakes. A relaxed and good-value option for breakfast, lunch or coffee.
The Boot
Approx. 7 minute walk
A characterful village pub and restaurant overlooking the green, with seasonal food, a garden, terrace, bar and dining areas. A good choice for lunch, dinner or drinks; booking is recommended at busy times.
Stir Café & Bakery
Approx. 5 minute walk
A popular neighbourhood café and bakery serving coffee, freshly baked goods, seasonal brunches and takeaway lunches. Particularly good for breakfast, pastries and relaxed daytime eating.

The Station House Café

A brunch, breakfast, coffee and cake spot in the renovated Histon Station building by the guided busway. A little further away, but a good daytime walk or cycle option.
Histon Village Fryer
Approx. 9 minute walk
A local takeaway offering fish and chips as well as Chinese takeaway options. It can be busy on Friday and Saturday evenings, so phoning ahead is sensible.
The White Horse, Oakington
Approx. 2 miles
A traditional village pub serving British pub meals, including Sunday roast options. Worth considering if you fancy a longer walk across the fields or a short drive.
The Old Crown, Girton
