Restaurants · Torquay
Sitting right on the Babbacombe seafront, this is a roomy pub with masses of seating inside and out — handy when you arrive with a pram and a hungry toddler. The garden is the real draw for families: big parasols, pretty planting, table service so you're not queuing at a bar, and a small play area to let little ones burn off steam between courses. Staff check back regularly and are friendly about it. The steak and ale pie is generously sized and much loved, the salads are plentiful, and mains sit under £20; there's a kids' menu, high chairs, free water on tap and free parking. Puddings can feel steep for the portion, and it gets genuinely busy — worth arriving early or booking at weekends. One parent calls the views "gorgeous".
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.
