Restaurants · Alnwick
Tucked into Alnwick with free parking nearby, this is the rare place that manages proper cooking without making families feel like an inconvenience. The staff are warm and unhurried — one family arrived without a table and were squeezed in anyway, and a Sunday lunch with a 20-month-old came fast but never rushed. The children's roast went down well with the toddler, and the kids' options are genuinely good quality rather than an afterthought, at fair prices. High chairs are there, and outdoor seating helps on a warm day. Grown-up dishes worth ordering: the pork shoulder, scallops, the spring gratin, the coconut parfait. Vegans do properly here too — more than the usual token burger. It's cosy rather than cavernous, so booking is wise, especially for Sunday roasts. Dogs are welcome, with their own treat menu.

A little something creative for your next meal out. Filled with colouring, simple drawing prompts for cute animals, origami and conversation starters designed to bring more play, laughter and connection to the table. 3 free printable packs for toddlers, preschoolers and primary-aged children.
