Pub · Brighton
Right on Brighton seafront, this naval-themed pub trades on its view — the upstairs seats look straight out to sea, and the big outdoor terrace is sheltered enough from the wind that you can sit out well past summer. There's plenty of room inside for colder days, and the layout takes a pram without much fuss. Buggy access, high chairs, a kids' menu and free parking are all in place, and the staff are consistently warm — one parent describes locals settling in with board games alongside the tourists. Music is a big part of it: DJs and live sets are announced on their Instagram, so check before you go if you want a quiet lunch. Drinks are on the pricier side for a touristy spot, food is the weak link (pizza waits can drag), and the toilets aren't always spotless.
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.
