Pub · Bristol
A handsome Art Deco townhouse pub just off St Nicholas Market, this one works well for a family lunch — buggy access is straightforward, high chairs are there, and there's a kids' menu plus outdoor seating when you need somewhere for restless children to spill out. The food is the draw: scotch eggs with soft-boiled centres (the black pudding one gets the most love), truffle mushrooms on toast, beef sandwiches with horseradish, and thick-cut chips that come out crispy outside and fluffy in the middle. Families mention a "nice chilled vibe" even with football on in the next section, and staff who are patient and happy to make suggestions. Worth knowing: portions can run small for the price, and breakfast dishes have occasionally arrived lukewarm. Booking is sensible at weekends, especially if you want the quieter tables at the back.
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.
