Restaurant · Norwich
Come hungry — the barbecue here runs big, and the menu takes a while to work through, which is either a gift or a trial depending on how patient your children are. Portions are generous: ribs that fall off the bone with plenty of sauce, chicken wings people rave about, seasoned fries worth the upgrade, and an apple crumble cheesecake that's light enough to finish. Breakfast is a strong option too, with gluten-free versions of the full English and American pancakes done properly. The room is clean, plants and local artwork on the walls, busy but not deafening — one parent found it "busy but manageable". High chairs, a kids' menu, buggy access and outdoor seating are all here, plus vegan options. Two snags: there's no parking, and food can take a while to arrive.

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.
