Pub · Sheffield
A proper old Sheffield boozer, all mismatched rooms and character, and the sort of place where the staff will let you taste something before you commit. It's calm and cosy midweek — one visitor found it "cosy, calm, and kind" on a weekday afternoon — with plenty of seating spread across the different areas, so there's usually a corner to park a pram. There's a beer garden and a sunny terrace for when the children need to be outside. Worth knowing before you set off: this is a drinks pub, and beyond crisps and snacks there's no food, though people mention decent food spots just across the road. Weekends, live music and comedy nights upstairs make it much busier, so lunchtimes are the family-friendly window.
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.
A genuinely good Sheffield seafood spot with a kids' menu and pram room — lovely scallops and octopus, though service can be slow.
