Restaurant · Brighton
A proper old English pub in a good spot in Brighton, with a warm, cosy feel and a first-floor room that gives you somewhere to spread out with a pram. There's a kids' menu, high chairs and outdoor seating, and the staff are genuinely friendly — families mention being made to feel welcome, and small kindnesses like a complimentary drink or nipping next door to find takeaway boxes. The cold platter, crispy squid and pulled pork honey burger get real praise, and children generally do well with the burgers and skin-on fries. Prices are fair for the centre, with decent lunch deals. One honest snag: kitchen waits can stretch to an hour at busy times, even with a booking, and food quality is up and down — order simply, and go when you're not against the clock with hungry 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.
