Restaurants · Hook
Weekend evenings fill up fast here, so book — regulars warn it gets busy from about five. Come earlier and you'll find it calm and roomy enough for a pram, with free parking outside, high chairs, a kids' menu and a few outdoor tables when the weather plays along. The staff are unhurried and attentive; one couple lingering over a late Sunday dinner said they never once felt rushed, which matters when a toddler needs a slow start. Portions are generous and the pasta is made in-house — the pappardelle with truffle cream and porcini gets particular praise, as do the lasagne and the Pollo pizza. Save room for pudding: the homemade tiramisu, panna cotta and espresso crème brûlée come up again and again. Prices are described as very reasonable for the quality.
