Hamburger · Bristol
A small place in Bristol's old town where the burgers do the heavy lifting — juicy patties, house-made sauces, and fries with proper crunch rather than grease. It's compact, so a pram will fit but you'll want to arrive off-peak or book if there's more than a couple of you; big tables are clearly possible, as the team have been known to bring out a birthday cake with candles and decorate it themselves. Kids' menu, high chairs and a few outdoor seats help. Service is generally quick and friendly, though food can lag at busy times, and drinks are on the pricey side. The kitchen is genuinely good with intolerances and swaps. The Sheriff burger and buffalo fries get the most love; two burgers and two drinks landed around £43.
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.
