Restaurant · Roundyhill
A family-run place in Roundyhill where the welcome is the whole point — the owners tend to come round to your table, and staff handle picky eaters and special requests without any fuss, which matters when you've a child who'll only eat things a certain way. The Sunday carvery is the draw: roast beef, turkey and gammon with roast tatties, Yorkshires, skirlie and cauliflower cheese, and portions generous enough that two children can share one plate. Smaller portions are available if you ask. Steak pie, the steaks and lemon posset all get raved about. Prices are honest — three people with drinks came to just over £70. There's a kids' menu, high chairs, vegan options, outdoor seating and free parking, and it's easy to reach from the road. Weekend evenings fill up, so book ahead.

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.
