Pub · Norwich
Set in a quiet rural spot outside Norwich, this is the kind of pub where a lunch that stretches on doesn't feel like a problem — the rooms are roomy and clean, so there's space to park a buggy without apologising to anyone. Free parking helps, and the staff are patient and attentive with children; the kitchen has been known to make pancakes off-menu for a fussy teenager. Breakfast is a real strength, from a proper traditional fry-up to shakshuka, and the pub classics come out generous: sausage and mash, steak and ale pie, fish and chips. Under newer ownership it's warmer and more inviting than it once was, with good real ale. Weekday lunchtimes get genuinely busy, so book. Vegetarians and vegans have less to choose from, and food can be slow on a full evening.
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.
