Bistro · Nottingham
A Beeston favourite that parents keep recommending to each other, and easy to see why — wood-fired pizzas with a properly blistered base, homemade flatbreads, chicken souvlaki people order every single time, and ragu fries the kids will fight you for. Brunch is the strong suit: hollandaise done right, pancakes, a full English, and coffee good enough to drink for its own sake. Staff are consistently warm, and there's a real habit of small kindnesses — a candle on a birthday dessert, a photo tucked into a card. There's a kids' menu, high chairs, buggy access, vegan options and free parking, plus outdoor tables when the weather plays along. Two things worth knowing: it gets very busy, and a 10% service charge goes on automatically. The main toilets are up steep stairs, with accessible facilities on the ground floor past the bar.
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.
