Restaurant · Cardiff
A big, buzzy city-centre spot on St Mary Street that's had a smart refurb, so it feels bright and roomy rather than tired — plenty of space to park a pram without blocking anyone, and outdoor seating if your two need air. High chairs and a kids' menu are there, and the team are genuinely quick and attentive: drinks and food arrive fast, which matters when someone's hit the wall. The staff also handle special dietary needs well, working around a child's diabetes without fuss. Food is straightforward pub-style rather than adventurous — one visitor called the menu "a bit basic" — but portions land well and nobody left disappointed. Worth knowing it's a bottomless-brunch destination, so weekends get loud and lively; book ahead, and go earlier in the day for a calmer table with children.
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.
