A Monday night here means you can actually hear each other across the table, which matters when you've got children in tow — though walkways between tables are narrow, so busy evenings involve a bit of shuffling with a pram. The pasta gets the loudest praise: penne pollo heavy with garlic and chicken, linguine marinara, and steak done properly with good chips and onion rings. Portions are generous and prices sit slightly above average, but the tapas plates arrive fast and hot, which helps when someone's patience is running out. There's a kids' menu, high chairs, vegan options and outdoor seating. Parking nearby is tight — regulars leave the car free at Eyes Meadow and walk the river path along, which is a pleasant five minutes with a buggy. Staff are consistently described as lovely, and they'll bring out a candle for a birthday.

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.
