Restaurant · Nottingham
A proper Beeston pub that manages to be a good bet with children in tow — free parking outside, buggy access, high chairs and a kids' menu, plus a garden big enough that little ones can move about while you finish your drink. The Sunday roast is what people come back for, with generous portions, plenty of veggie options and staff happy to fetch extra gravy without a fuss. Lamb shank and the pies get particular praise, and the 5 Taps board at £28 easily feeds two. Smaller portions are available if a full plate is too much. Two honest notes: it fills up on Saturday evenings and can get loud, and with one person behind the bar at quiet times service can be slow. The inside runs a little dark, so the garden is the brighter option in good weather.
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.
