Blue Bell
A budget-friendly traditional Nottingham pub serving grills and comfort food, with sport on the TV and a steady 4.3-star reputation.

Pub · Nottingham
A big Greene King pub on the edge of Nottingham with a large car park and plenty of room inside, so getting a pram through the door and parked beside a table isn't the usual battle. Weekend evenings get lively and loud, which suits a family who'd rather not worry about noise, and there's a good spread of outdoor seating for warmer days. You can order from the table now, or through the app, which spares you queuing at the bar with a toddler in tow. The chicken burger with hot honey is generously sized, the steaks are hit and miss, and the cookie dough has something of a cult following. Two mains, a pudding and drinks came in under £70. Food usually arrives quickly, though one family waited 45 minutes at a busy stretch — worth booking if you're coming with a group.

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.
