Free parking outside and a straight run in with the buggy makes this an easy one with small children, and the layout is roomy enough that nobody's squeezing past your pram to get to a table. Kids' portions are generous, there's a proper children's menu, high chairs, gluten-free and vegetarian options, and food comes out quickly — which matters when someone's already sliding under the table. Staff are notably good with children; one family credits a server's "magic fork" trick for getting their son to eat properly. Birthdays get looked after too, candles and singing included. The pasta is the thing to order, and the bottomless and £5 pasta deals are where the value sits — full-price mains push £18 and drinks aren't cheap, so it's worth checking what's on before you go. Walk-ins often get seated straight away.
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.
