Pub · Nottingham
Nottingham parents get a lot right here for the money — the lunchtime set menu runs three courses for a shade over £13, and families consistently come away saying the food is hot, properly cooked and better presented than standard pub fare. Buggy access, a kids' menu, high chairs and free parking make the practical side easy, and the outdoor tables are a genuine relief on a sunny day when little ones need room to fidget. The team is generally warm and attentive, and staff will happily sort dietary requirements if you ask ahead. One honest caveat: kitchen waits can go badly wrong at busy times — some families have sat well over an hour with no update — so go early, especially with hungry children, and don't assume a phone booking has landed without confirmation.
