Pub · Runcorn
A weekday lunch here won't take much thinking about — there's a kids' menu, high chairs and step-free access all the way in, so you can arrive with a toddler and a buggy without a plan. Prices sit at the cheaper end, and free parking means you're not feeding a meter while unloading everyone. It stays fairly quiet, which suits younger children who find a busy dining room overwhelming, though it's worth booking ahead. Gluten-free choices are available, and there's outdoor seating if the weather holds.
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.
