Café Aspire
A budget-friendly Nottingham café with outdoor seating, handy for families after a relaxed, low-key bite.

Pub · Nottingham
A big, well-run Nottingham pub where £13.99 gets you two mains and nobody minds a bit of noise — handy when you've got children in tow. There's plenty of seating inside and two outdoor areas, one of them sheltered, so you can pick your spot depending on weather and how much space the pram needs. The kids' menu, high chairs and buggy access are all sorted, and the staff are genuinely patient — one group booking of thirty was handled without a flicker. Food comes to the table quickly if you order at the bar or through the app. The jerk wings and crispy chips get the most praise; the lasagne is more microwave than homemade. Parking is free but you must register your number plate inside — miss that and a £100 ticket lands weeks later. It gets busy and loud at peak times.

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.
