Pub · Brighton
A proper community pub in Brighton, and one that families seem to fall into easily — the welcome is chatty and warm from the door, even on a first visit. Sunday roasts are the reason most people come: pork belly that melts, gravy in generous quantities, and the extras (stuffing balls, pigs in blankets) worth ordering on top. Midweek is calmer and the food holds up, with a brownie that gets singled out. Free parking helps, there's buggy access, high chairs and a kids' menu, and a garden plus outdoor seating when the weather plays along. Inside is cosy with unusual Art Deco fittings. One snag: it fills up fast — by 1pm on a Sunday it's packed, so book. Dogs are welcome too.
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.
A warm neighbourhood Italian with room for buggies, free street parking, kids' menu and dough balls families rave about.
A relaxed Brighton coffee shop with outdoor seating and vegan options — an easy, family-friendly spot for a drink and a bite.
Friendly Patcham local with excellent Thai food, quick service, a kids' menu, high chairs, free parking and a fish tank to watch.
