There's a reason this Kirton spot fills up — book ahead, especially at weekends, or you may be turned away at the door. It's a proper sit-down affair with tablecloths and table service rather than a rowdy family barn, but there's a kids' menu, high chairs, buggy access through the door and free parking outside, so the practical bits are covered. The cooking is home-made and hearty: one visitor described it as "Sunday dinner at your Gran's house", complete with a massive jug of gravy. The beef wellington and the ginger sponge with custard come up again and again. The decor feels dated and the mood is fairly formal, so it suits a calm birthday lunch more than a wriggly toddler tea — but the staff are warm and nothing is too much trouble.
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.
