Restaurant · Plymouth
Right on the Barbican waterfront, this is a proper pub that happens to be genuinely easy with children — kids' menu, high chairs, buggy access through the door, and tables outside on the cobbles when the sun's out. Sunday roast is the thing people come back for: real homemade Yorkshire puddings, braised steak that falls apart, a big jug of extra gravy, all at prices that don't sting. The cooked breakfast has its own following too. Staff stay cheerful even when it's heaving, and plates get cleared fast. Two snags worth knowing: it gets very busy, especially sunny weekends, so book if you're more than a couple, and some of the chairs are looking tired. Dogs are welcome throughout, which won't suit everyone. One family calls it "a family favourite" for Sunday lunch.
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.
