Pub · Welwyn
A quiet pub in Welwyn, Hertfordshire, which makes it easier to bring children who aren't quite at the indoor-voice stage yet — you won't be competing with a wall of noise, and they won't be the loudest thing in the room. High chairs and a kids' menu mean a toddler is genuinely catered for rather than tolerated, and step-free access means the buggy comes in with you. There's outdoor seating for when someone needs air, and gluten-free options if that's part of your family's picture. Booking ahead is worth doing.
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.
