Restaurant · Nottingham
A smokehouse-style spot in Gamston that's set up for children rather than merely tolerating them — high chairs are there, and there's a proper kids' menu, so you can arrive with a toddler and a hungry seven-year-old without a plan. It's a lively room, which is good news if your youngest is going through a loud phase: nobody will be looking over. Step-free access means the buggy comes in with you, and gluten-free options are available if someone in your group needs them. Outdoor seating gives you somewhere to decamp on a warm day, and it's worth booking a table before you set off.
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.
Roomy canal-side carvery pub with free parking, quick service and generous roasts — though the vegetarian main disappoints.
Roomy, dog- and child-friendly Nottingham pub with fast hot food and a beloved Sunday roast — just remember to register your car.
