Twelve-fifteen on a weekday is the sweet spot here — quiet enough for a proper sit-down before the room fills out and gets buzzy by mid-afternoon. The kids' menu is genuinely good value: starter, main, dessert and a babycino for under £8, and the team hand it over without fuss even if your child ends up picking from the grown-up plates. Staff are the real draw — one family arriving soaked on a rainy half-term day were found a quieter table near the kitchen and had their little boy's meal brought out first. Leftovers get boxed up without you asking. Order the lasagne, the prawns to start, or the Tuscan chicken orzotto. High chairs, buggy access and outdoor seating are all there. It can run late when it's slammed, though you'll be kept updated.
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.
