Old Queen's Head
A characterful Tudor pub with a sunny courtyard, cheap roasts and kids' menu — calmest at lunchtime, livelier by evening.

Restaurant · Sheffield
Handy if you're breaking a journey — it sits right by the Interchange, with free parking and buggy access, so getting in with a pram isn't a battle. Inside is a proper old pub: clean, well kept and warmer than the fairly grim exterior suggests, with local drinkers, high chairs and a kids' menu. The food is the draw — the hunters chicken gets particular praise, portions are big enough that people struggle to finish, and it's cheap. Staff are generally friendly and good at checking in, though service can crawl when the bar's short-handed at busy times, so it's not the spot for a hungry, tetchy toddler on a Friday teatime. Worth knowing that evenings bring karaoke and a disco on Fridays and Saturdays — fun, but loud for little ones.

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.
