Where should you go in Peterborough when nobody wants the same thing?

 We compare four very different ways to share a meal, with current prices and the kind of outing each one suits.

Bottomless brunch sounds like an easy treat, but Peterborough packages currently cost between £36.95 and £40 per person.

We compare what diners actually get at Katana, Tap & Tandoor, Bijou, Middletons and The Chalkboard, from time limits to food allowances and service charges.

It’s an editorial value test, not a definitive restaurant ranking and we want readers’ own examples of food that wasn’t worth the money.

Peterborough has plenty of food stories waiting to be tested, from Nepalese momos and Polish pierogi to Caribbean street food, the city market and Lincoln Road’s world-food scene.

 This reader-led piece sets out the strongest starting ideas and explains how a fair test could compare flavour, portion size, choice, service and value. Readers are invited to nominate one focused idea for a follow-up

Outdoor tables aren’t all created equal. This Peterborough guide checks four venues, from The White Swan’s covered terraces in Woodnewton to walk-in outdoor space at Nando’s in Cathedral Square.

Find out where you can book, where outside seating is only a request, which options have weather cover and when staying indoors may save the meal.

Skipping alcohol doesn’t have to mean settling for a soft drink. We checked current Peterborough venue pages for mocktails, alcohol-free beer, cider, wine, food and social settings. Katana leads on listed mocktails, The Whittle Way has the widest alcohol-free range, and Las Iguanas offers a non-alcoholic bottomless brunch. Prices and stock can change, so check before you go.

Summer meals out can quickly eat into a family budget, but Peterborough parents have several offers to compare.

 This guide checks the dates, adult-meal rules, vouchers, age limits and menu catches at Bella Italia Cygnet Park, Harvester Pavilions, The Halcyon and The Queen’s Head, so families know what to confirm before setting off.

A pub meal can be the main event — but not every pub is worth visiting for its food.

This Peterborough shortlist looks at the Fox & Hounds, The Queen’s Head, The Moorhen and The Woodman, comparing their food focus, offers, booking details and recent diner feedback.

It also explains where the evidence is less certain, so readers can choose the right pub for the kind of meal they want.

The cheapest main course isn’t always the best bargain once you add extras and consider the whole meal.

We compare four Peterborough options, from Parcs Restaurant’s £12 three-course college lunch to fixed-price and set-menu offers at Middletons, Katana and The Apple Cart.

There’s a leading candidate, but the final answer depends on your timing, appetite and idea of a good meal out.
