The Badger

About The Badger

Handy if you're staying nearby and don't fancy going far — there's plenty of parking, buggy access, and outdoor tables when the weather plays along. High chairs and a kids' menu are standard, and the £1 kids' meal deal during school holidays makes it an easy call with grandchildren or a hungry crowd in tow. Portions are big enough to share: the fish and chips comes beautifully cooked with crisp batter, and the grilled chicken with mash keeps younger ones happy. Staff are generally attentive and good with children, though it's worth knowing that when they're short-handed at busy times, service can drag — go early with little ones if you can. Otherwise it's a reliably pleasant lunch or dinner spot that regulars keep coming back to.
