Restaurant · York
Tucked down a York alley, this bistro pulls off something tricky — proper cooked food in a warm, slightly grown-up room that still copes fine with a pram and a high chair. The set menus keep the bill sensible, though à la carte edges toward pricey (one visitor spent around £28 on a main and a drink). Sunday roast is the thing to come for: chicken supreme that isn't dry, properly roasted veg and gravy people go misty over. Sticky toffee pudding comes up again and again, and the deep-fried brie has its fans. Staff are friendly and quick, and they'll hand over an ingredients list and adapt plates for allergies without fuss. There's a kids' menu, vegan options and a few outdoor tables. Cosy rather than cavernous, so book if you're a group.
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.
