The Lowther
A relaxed riverside pub in York with outdoor seating, a simple global menu, Sunday roasts and easy-on-the-budget prices.

Bistro · York
A small riverside pub near York Dungeons, this one runs on family energy — the team is family-run and it shows in how closely they watch tables, spotting muddled orders before plates land. Sunday carvery is what parents come back for: flavourful gravy, proper Yorkshire puddings, juicy pork and chicken, and generous vegetables. The steak and ale pie and chunky chips are big portions too, and prices stay sensible — one group did food and drinks for four for around £42. It's cosy rather than roomy, so a pram is a squeeze downstairs, but there's an upstairs dining room for busy periods and outdoor seating in good weather. High chairs and a kids' menu are there. Food can take a while at peak times, and evenings get lively with sport on the TV.

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.
