Pub · Nottingham
A proper village pub about half an hour from the city, with a big car park out front so you're not circling with a toddler in the back. Inside splits helpfully: a large lounge for eating, and a bar with darts, a pool table and sport on the TVs, so older children have something to do while you finish your drink. The garden is genuinely lovely in summer, plus a covered outdoor area, and there's an open fire lit daily for cold days. Sunday roasts are the thing here — the trio of meats and cauliflower cheese get real praise — and fish fingers in a bloomer with chips is a solid, child-sized kind of lunch. Kids' menu, high chairs and buggy access are all sorted. Worth booking at weekends; locals reserve tables early. Food quality can wobble on a busy service.
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.
