Restaurant · Leicester
A proper old-school Glenfield boozer where the draw is plate size and price — portions here are genuinely enormous, and a family of five can eat for the cost of a takeaway. Starters land remarkably fast, which matters when someone's hit the wall before the mains arrive. There's a kids' menu, high chairs, outdoor seating for warmer days, step-free access for a pram and free parking outside, so the logistics are easy. Staff are flexible and good-natured — one group turned up with a booking the system had lost and were seated anyway. Two honest caveats: the restaurant entrance isn't well signposted, so look twice, and if you're seated in the bar you may need to flag someone down for puddings. Grilled dishes can come out on the well-charred side. Still, families call it real value for money.
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.
