Pub · Brighton
Tucked into the Lanes, this is a proper old Brighton pub that manages to be cosy and bright at once — real fires going, huge windows, and lots of little nooks and different seating options, so there's usually somewhere to tuck a pram out of the way. There's a kids' menu, high chairs and outdoor seating, and the staff are relaxed and welcoming rather than precious about a busy table. Food is the draw: pie and mash, fish and chips with a huge piece of fish and properly crispy chips, and Sunday roasts with enormous Yorkshire puddings. Roasts can mean a wait, though the team flag it upfront — one group got free pigs in blankets by way of apology. Live jazz on Sunday evenings, so expect it livelier then. Worth booking for a roast.
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.
