Restaurant · Southampton
A big roadside pub on the edge of Southampton with a stream running past the garden — a proper summer spot once the weather turns. Inside it's roomy enough to park a buggy without apologising to anyone, there are high chairs, a kids' menu and a large free car park right outside, which matters when you're unloading a car seat in the rain. Food comes out fast: one family had four mains and drinks on the table within fifteen minutes for under £50. The roasts and the big breakfast get the most praise, portions are generous, and the staff are warm and unfussy with children — one parent mentions the team putting the football on for their little one. Worth knowing: it's dated in places and cleanliness can be patchy, so it's a value-for-money pub rather than a polished one.
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.
