Pub · Sheffield
A big, busy Sheffield local where the draw for families is out the back — a gated play area on the garden, plenty of seating for sunny days, and a park just across the road when the children still have energy left. Arcade machines keep them going indoors. Portions are the thing people talk about most: Sunday dinners that "do not hold back", well-liked burgers and the chicken New Yorker, food arriving hot and fresh, and midweek daily deals that make it genuinely cheap for what you get. There's a kids' menu, high chairs, buggy access and free parking. Worth knowing: it can be slow at Sunday lunchtime when they're short-staffed, and cutlery is self-serve from a station rather than brought to the table.
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.
