Brunch · Bristol
Set inside a huge, gloriously grand old building — soaring ceilings, proper architectural detail — this is far bigger and roomier than the name suggests, which is good news if you're arriving with a pram and don't fancy squeezing past tables. Buggy access is easy, high chairs are there, and there's outdoor seating if the little ones need air. The full English gets the loudest praise: proper meaty sausages, thick-cut bacon, free-range eggs, generous but not silly portions, and at prices that don't sting for how smart it all feels. Staff are attentive without hovering, quick to seat you, and genuinely good with menu changes and dietary needs — there's a solid gluten-free list, a kids' menu and vegan options. One family called the setting "worth visiting for the building alone". It's a big, buzzy room, so expect noise at weekend brunch.
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.
