Pub · Norwich
Out on the edge of Norwich, this is the kind of pub that earns its keep with a family in tow. Inside it's roomy — sports on the telly in one area, a proper family dining section in another, and no thumping music, so you can actually talk. Food arrives fast, which matters when small people are unravelling, and staff are chatty and patient; one family turned up fifteen minutes before the kitchen shut with three hungry children and were still looked after. The menu is huge, prices rival the big chains, and the kids' deals are genuinely good — steaks and burgers get the most praise, though it's honest pub cooking rather than anything fancy, and portions can be hit and miss. Outdoor play equipment is well kept, there's free parking, high chairs and buggy access, and allergies are checked carefully at ordering.
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.
