Gastropub · Truro
Right on the water at Malpas, this place makes a genuinely easy family stop — there's outdoor seating with patio heaters and blankets handed out when it turns chilly, high chairs inside, a kids' menu and a proper spread of vegetarian and vegan choices. The views over the Truro and Tresillian rivers keep children occupied between courses, and there are river walks nearby if someone needs to burn off energy before or after. The seafood platter is the thing people go on about — one portion easily feeds two, and it's good enough that other tables order one after seeing it arrive. Roasts and salads get warm words too. Two honest snags: prices sit at the upper end for a pub lunch, and parking is very limited despite being free, so arrive early at weekends.
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.
