Pub · Norwich
Right on the water at Horning, this is a big, easygoing pub where a family with a pram and a hungry toddler won't feel in the way — there's plenty of room inside, a reasonable-sized free car park, and a playground on site, plus another by the village hall ten minutes' walk into the village. Food comes out fast, hot and in genuinely enormous portions: the roast and carvery get the most love, along with the bangers and mash, the pies with piles of veg, and the BBQ brisket nachos (order the small one). Breakfast is a good shout too, with a fire lit and the boats drifting past the window. There's a kids' menu, high chairs and clean toilets. Worth booking in summer — one parent calls the veg "very over cooked", so the carvery can be hit and miss.
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.
