American · Nottingham
A neon-orange American sports bar rather than a quiet family lunch spot — worth knowing before you go, because it gets noisy, with rugby and F1 on the big screens and a proper buzz at weekends. That said, the practical bits are covered: high chairs, a kids' menu, buggy access, outdoor seating, vegan options and free parking. Portions are genuinely generous — the chilli arrives in a big bowl, the cheese sticks get raved about, and the hot wings are actually spicy rather than politely warm. Service tends to be quick and attentive even when tables fill up, which helps when someone's patience is running out. Walk-ins on a Saturday lunchtime usually get seated. Two snags: a service charge is added automatically, and the kitchen can close earlier than the advertised hours, so go early rather than late.
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.
