Restaurant · Bristol
Tucked into St Paul's Community Centre a short walk from the centre, this is Caribbean home cooking done properly — and the portions are big enough that a small plate will often feed a child, or a medium will stretch between two. Plates come in three sizes with prices to match, so a jerk chicken with rice and peas can land around £8.50 and goat curry on the bone about £10, which makes it an easy midweek treat rather than a splurge. The ackee and saltfish is worth trying if you've never had it, and the vegetable curry quietly wins people over. There's a kids' menu, high chairs, buggy access and free parking, plus outdoor seating and takeaway if the little one has had enough. Staff are warm and chatty, and one visitor says it "wraps you in a warm blanket". Music plays; it's lively rather than hushed.
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.
