Restaurants · Trowbridge
A village pub just outside Trowbridge that's built for a proper family sit-down rather than a rushed bite. There's a separate dining area away from the bar, which helps if your two are being loud, plus a kids' menu, high chairs, outdoor seating in warmer weather and level access if you're wheeling a buggy in. The gluten-free menu is labelled for coeliacs — a real relief if you've got one at the table — and nearly every pudding is gluten-free too, not just the standard brownie. Home-cooked pub food is the thing here: ham, egg and chips, fish and chips, and a sticky toffee pudding with generous portions and custard served in its own pot. Some dishes land better than others, so stick to the classics. Parking is free and plentiful, and one parent found the front-of-house team "perfect, friendly".

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.
