Pub · Nottingham
A big city-centre pub that shifts gear depending on when you turn up — calm and manageable at lunchtime, loud and drink-led later on, so early is your friend with children. Midday is when the food shines: the £7 lunch deal gets you a burger and a drink, or a doner on flatbread with a mountain of fries, and portions are genuinely generous for the money. The Bombay burger and Italian Job burger get particular praise, and the coffee is good. Service comes quickly when it's quiet, though the bar gets stretched at busy times and one family found the fixed high tables awkward to move around. There's a kids' menu, high chairs, outdoor seating and buggy access, and football is usually on somewhere. Book at weekends.
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.
Lively American BBQ and sports bar with fried pickles, okra and patient staff — calm early on, loud and pricey later.
