Restaurant · Bristol
Moored on the harbourside, this floating bar and restaurant gives you something to look at while you wait — boats, water, and a top deck with outdoor seating that's a genuine relief with restless children. Service is generally quick and the staff are warm, which matters when someone's hungry now. Portions are big enough that one parent grumbled the roast was "too huge" — the Sunday roast is the thing to book for, including a good vegetarian version, and the fish and chips, calamari fries and side salad all get praise. There's a kids' menu and high chairs. Two honest notes: the loos are downstairs, cramped and not always fresh, and on a quiet-kitchen day the menu can shrink and waits can stretch. Booking is wise, especially for Sundays or a bigger group.
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.
