Restaurant · Southampton
A big, easy-going pub where nobody minds a bit of noise — there's plenty of room to park a pram, seating spread across indoor areas and a garden, high chairs, a kids' menu and free parking. Sunday roasts are the thing to come for: crisp, well-flavoured potatoes, tender beef, and a vegan Wellington that's a genuine option rather than an afterthought. The steak and ale pie and its gravy get talked about too, and prices are gentle for what arrives. The honest snag is timing — food can take half an hour or more, and on a busy Sunday you may wait longer to be noticed, so go when nobody's at breaking point or order something quick. The loos are tired, and the car park floods into a puddle that swallows several spaces after rain.
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.
