Restaurant · Great Yarmouth
Perched over Trinity Broad, this is a proper sit-down restaurant rather than pub grub — the view of the water and wildlife does a lot of work when you're waiting with restless children, and the dining room is genuinely spacious, so a pram isn't a problem. Everything's homemade and portions are plentiful: the beef and mushroom suet pudding, the fish dishes, roast lamb, and old-fashioned puddings like knickerbocker glory and sherry trifle. There's a kids' menu, high chairs, outdoor seating and free parking. Staff know the menu inside out and are quick with requests, with a bit of cheek to the service. Prices sit above the local average, though families call it "great value for money" for the quality. Book ahead — it fills up, and the menu leans hearty and wintery even in warm weather.
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.
