Restaurant · Cardiff
A proper Cardiff local, this one — big enough that a pram isn't a problem, with several distinct seating areas so you can tuck yourselves somewhere quieter or sit near the screens if the older ones want the rugby on. Food comes out fast, which matters when someone's hit the wall: the katsu chicken curry and the build-your-own burgers get the most love, portions are good and prices are kind. There's a kids' menu, high chairs and free parking, and the beer garden is genuinely usable year-round with shelter and heaters. Staff are friendly and quick at the bar, and regulars say they remember faces. Worth knowing: weekends get loud with live bands and sport, and tables are hard to come by if you want to eat — a weekday lunch is the calmer bet.
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.
