Discreet Dining in Peterborough

Peterborough's restaurants range from the old centre to the riverside, with a market town a short drive away. Here is how to pick a calm table.

The old centre

Around Cathedral Square, Long Causeway and the streets near the cathedral, restaurants are convenient and busy, especially at the weekend. A table near the back, or upstairs where there is one, gives you more privacy.

The riverside

Near the Embankment and the River Nene, the pace is slower, and a meal before a show at the Key Theatre is an easy plan. It is a quieter part of the city in the evening.

Lincoln Road

Lincoln Road, north of the centre, is known for a wide spread of South Asian and Eastern European food, and suits a relaxed, informal meal rather than a formal evening.

Stamford for a slower evening

Stamford, a short drive away, has old inns and restaurants in a historic setting. It suits a long, quiet dinner away from the city, with a taxi booked for the way back.

Booking and getting home

Book ahead for Friday and Saturday, and ask for a quiet table when you do. After a meal in the centre, the station and the taxi ranks are a short walk away. As everywhere on the site, this guide is for adults aged 18 and over.
