Restaurant · Norwich
A former sugar-beet farm turned family-run eating house, this one has more room than most — free parking on site, outdoor seating, and space to get a pram in without a three-point turn between tables. The kitchen leans local: a BBQ menu with genuinely large portions, and a proper outdoor pizza oven turning out pizzas cooked to order, which is usually the easiest sell with children. Dietary needs and allergies get handled without fuss, which matters when you're the parent explaining it for the fifth time. Staff are attentive and quick to help — one visitor noted anything they asked for "was done immediately". High chairs, a kids' menu and vegan options are all covered. Worth knowing: it's a popular wedding and events venue, so book ahead and check what's on before you turn up hungry.
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.
