On Your Doorstep
Eating Out
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 immediate walking distance. Slightly further afield, Oakington and Girton are around a two-mile stroll across the fields.
Approx. 3 minute walk
Known locally as the King Bill, the closest pub to The Fold. It does not have its own kitchen but regularly hosts food trucks — pizza, burgers and other street-food options. Our favourite is Buffalo Joes.
Approx. 5 minute walk
A popular neighbourhood artisan café and bakery serving coffee, freshly baked goods, seasonal brunches and takeaway lunches. Particularly good for breakfast, pastries and relaxed daytime eating.
Approx. 5 minute walk
A friendly community café run by the local parish church, serving traditional café food, drinks and cakes. A relaxed and good-value option for breakfast, lunch or coffee.
Approx. 5 minute walk
An award-winning Indian restaurant on the High Street serving home-style Indian food for dining in or takeaway. A strong local option for dinner.
Approx. 5 minute walk
Home to Histon Beer Festival every September, the Red Lion is a lively and extremely popular local pub on the high street. Large rear garden, many real ales on tap and a varied food menu across breakfast, lunch and dinner. Check out quiz nights too.
Approx. 7 minute walk
A characterful village pub and upscale restaurant overlooking the green, with seasonal food, a garden, terrace, bar and dining areas. A good choice for lunch or dinner; booking is recommended at busy times.
Approx. 9 minute walk
A café, bar and restaurant on the village green, with a menu inspired by South East Asian cuisine and a recently refreshed interior. Good deals on happy hour cocktails and food.
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.
Approx. 11 minute walk
Run by the local Milton Brewery featuring their own brews plus guest beers in traditional surroundings. Very good food trucks in the car park at weekends — get there early or book.
Approx. 25 minute walk
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.
Approx. 1.5 miles, stroll across the fields
The largest thatched village pub in the country, serving authentic Nepalese dishes alongside British pub classics. A distinctive option if you want something a little different.
Approx. 2 miles, mainly traffic-free walk or cycle along the busway
A traditional village pub serving British pub meals, including excellent and very good value Sunday roast options. Worth considering if you fancy a longer walk across the fields or a short drive.
