Pub · Brighton
A community pub that feels more like a big living room than a bar, with cheap pints, straightforward food and something on most days of the week. The free after-school family session on a Thursday is the standout — parachute games, crafts, giant outdoor games and a meal together at the end, run by volunteers who genuinely welcome newcomers, with a decent-sized outdoor space for children to burn off steam. High chairs, buggy access, a kids' menu and free parking all help, and staff are good-humoured and patient. Breakfast here after a Saturday parkrun is a local habit: nothing fancy, good value, relaxed. One thing to know — the kitchen isn't always running and opening hours have caught people out, so it's worth a quick call before you set off. One parent sums it up as "a really good family atmosphere".
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.
