Pub · Brighton
A proper old Brighton pub that's kept its character — pub games still get played, there's a decent range of beers, and the outdoor area gives you somewhere to let children move about when sitting still stops working. Sunday roast is the thing to come for: roast beef and chicken both get praised, and cauliflower cheese comes with it. Staff are warm from the moment you walk in, with high chairs and a kids' menu sorted, and food arrives hot rather than after a long wait. One family calls it "a hidden gem in Brighton". Worth knowing: roasts have had the odd off day, and Sundays can fill up with folk music sessions or football on the screen, so it's not a quiet lunch — book ahead if you want the good table.
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.
