Pub · Sheffield
A Sheffield city-centre bar that's louder and livelier than your average lunch spot, but there's a kids' menu, high chairs and room to get a buggy in, and the booths give you somewhere to park yourselves out of the fray. Those private darts booths are the real find with children in tow — you get your own corner, a switch to call someone over rather than queuing at the bar, and something to keep everyone occupied for an hour and a half. Food is properly decent and fairly priced: burgers, pulled turkey Yorkshire puddings when the seasonal menus land, brownies for pudding. Staff are attentive without hovering and don't rush you. Worth knowing it's busiest on Saturday afternoons with big bottomless brunch groups in, so book ahead and aim earlier in the day if you want it calmer.
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.
