Portions here are the headline — people talk about leaving genuinely full, and that matters when you're feeding hungry children on a budget. Food tends to arrive fast and hot, which helps when someone's patience is running out; the team squeezed one family in last-minute on a Saturday evening and handled a mushroom allergy carefully, checking for cross-contamination. There's a kids' menu, high chairs, buggy access, vegan options and free parking, plus outdoor seating. The steak wrap and fajitas get particular praise, chips come how you ask for them, and milkshakes go down well. Sunday afternoons are quiet and easy; weekday lunches can feel a bit flat. Worth knowing: the decor is dated, tables can wobble, and the £20 burger divides opinion — the cheaper dishes are where the value sits.
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.
