Tucked away on the side of a green Welsh valley, this one takes a bit of finding — but it's quiet, roomy and geared up for families, with high chairs, buggy access, a kids' menu, outdoor seating and free parking so you're not circling a car park with a toddler in the back. Sunday roasts are the thing to come for: lamb shank that falls apart, properly cooked roasties, cauliflower cheese, and a steak and ale pie with Stilton that people talk about. The team are warm with children — one family celebrating a sixth birthday had the staff come over clapping along — and food arrives quickly even when there's a big party in. Vegan options are available. Worth knowing: portions have felt smaller lately to some regulars, and it's popular enough that booking is sensible.
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.
