Barbecue · Bristol
Right on Bristol's harbourside, this is a smoky, generous barbecue spot with a big spread of outdoor seating by the water — easy to park a pram beside a table and let a toddler watch the boats while you eat. Portions are large enough to share, and the pork belly burnt ends, ribs and pulled pork come in for the most praise, along with a mac and cheese with a properly crisp top. There's a kids' menu, high chairs and step-free access. Two honest snags: inside gets seriously noisy, and food can take a while at busy times — one group waited well over an hour — so order something for small people straight away. Staff are friendly and unhurried with families, and popular cuts occasionally sell out, so booking helps.
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.
