Pub · Plymouth
A proper Plymouth local backing onto the university campus, with wooden beams, a real fireplace and one of the warmer pub atmospheres in the city. Pizzas are cooked fresh and get the most love from families — most people rave, though a few find them fine rather than special — and there's a kids' menu, high chairs and buggy access, plus drinks that are genuinely reasonably priced with good alcohol-free choices. The layout is clean and roomy enough to park a pram without blocking anyone, and the staff have a reputation for being chatty and easygoing. Sanitary bins by the toilets are motion-sensor, a small thing that parents notice. Worth knowing: it fills up around Argyle match days and the Tuesday quiz, so it gets loud — early evenings and lunchtimes are the calmer window. Dogs are welcome, with water and treats offered without asking.
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.
