Pub · Brighton
Sunday roasts are the draw here, and when the kitchen is on form they're genuinely worth the trip — huge portions, beef that falls apart, salty crackling on the pork, and sides that get as much care as the meat rather than being an afterthought. Expect to pay around £18–£20 a plate. Book ahead, and be honest with yourself about timings: some families have waited well over an hour on a busy Sunday and food has arrived merely warm, which is a long stretch with a toddler at the table. Staff are friendly and flexible about shifting a booking. There's a kids' menu, high chairs and outdoor seating, plus a good few veggie and vegan options and interesting drinks — mulled cider in winter is a rare find.
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.
