Pub · Cardiff
A proper Cathays local that happens to be genuinely easy with children — free parking, high chairs and a kids' menu take the sting out of arriving with a pram and a hungry toddler. The food punches above the £ price: halloumi fries (order the peri-peri sauce alongside), a mac and cheese loaded with tender BBQ pork, katsu chicken loaded fries with proper Japanese curry sauce, and a steak and ale pie people come back for. Service is quick, which matters when someone's melting down, and the team handle big groups without fuss. It's dog friendly too. Worth knowing: it's a pub first, so quiz nights and big-screen football make it loud and busy in the evenings — lunchtimes and early tea are the calmer bet for younger children.
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.
A well-loved Cardiff café and bakery with fresh bakes, good coffee and a relaxed, family-friendly feel at fair prices.
