The Royal, Charlton Kings

Pub · Cheltenham
A relaxed Cheltenham pub where you can turn up without booking and still get a table — handy when you've got a hungry toddler and no plan. Free parking and level buggy access take the stress out of arriving, and there are high chairs, a kids' menu and outdoor seating for when someone needs to run about. Service is generally quick and the staff are warm with families; one visitor found it "the speediest service and the tastiest food". It's cheerful rather than hushed, with decent music and a proper pub buzz, so nobody will notice a bit of noise. Prices are gentle. Worth knowing that quality can wobble — the Monday pie-and-a-drink special has disappointed, and drinks or the coffee machine are sometimes unavailable — so stick to the mains people rave about.

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.
