Restaurant · Nottingham
A proper local boozer at heart, with plenty of seating, big screens for the football and drinks that won't hurt on a family budget. Food comes out fast even during a busy match rush, which matters when a small person has hit the point of no return, and portions are generous — the seniors lunch with a pudding gets singled out again and again for how little it costs. There's a kids' menu, high chairs, buggy access and free parking, plus outdoor seating for when everyone needs air. What families mention most is the staff: patient with children, quick to smile, and, as one parent put it, "nothing was too much trouble". It does get busy around big games, so expect noise and a livelier crowd at those times.
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 well-rated Nottingham garden centre and shed builder, an easy mid-range spot to browse plants and outdoor buildings together.
An elegant Nottingham Italian that's genuinely good with children — tapas, skewers and generous portions, plus kids' menu, high chairs and free parking.
Lively Nottingham café and bakery with a kids' menu, high chairs, step-free buggy access, outdoor seating, and vegan and gluten-free choices.
