A city-centre spot that copes well with a family in full swing — buggies get in without a fight, high chairs are there, and the staff take late arrivals and spilled drinks in their stride rather than making you feel like a nuisance. Food comes out quickly but nobody hurries you along, which matters when one child is still picking at their plate. The menu is broader than the frontage suggests: the wings with their much-praised ranch, ribbed corn, sweet potato fries and a proper fish pie, plus vegan options and generous adult portions. Breakfast and brunch are the calmest slots; weekends get busy. One snag worth knowing — drinks are where the bill climbs, with £4 water and £6 smoothies, so it's worth asking for tap.
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.
