Restaurant · Norwich
Sunday-ish carvery energy any day of the week, with a free car park big enough that you're not circling with a hungry toddler in the back. Portions are enormous — one visitor called the super size "massive" and couldn't finish it — and the roast spread lets everyone build a plate they'll actually eat, with a couple of gluten-free options and a bottomless self-service drinks setup that keeps refill trips off your plate. There's a play area indoors and space to run about outside afterwards, which is really why families keep coming back. Staff are patient and attentive, and it's reliably clean. Two honest notes: it gets loud, especially when it's busy with other people's children, and the meat can be hit and miss — sometimes a little dry, sometimes excellent. Good value, though: six people ate and drank for under £70.
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.
