Restaurant · Nantwich
A big draw here is that it works for a whole mixed table — grandparents, toddlers and all — with staff who genuinely try, plus high chairs, buggy access and a kids' menu without any fuss. The courtyard is the spot to aim for on a warm day: shaded tables, music kept at a sensible level, and enough space that nobody minds a bit of noise. Fish comes in a light, crisp batter and the chicken burger gets particular praise; the garlic mushrooms are worth ordering while you wait. Parking is free and easy, and the toilets are properly kept — one parent called them "top class". Two honest notes: booking by phone can be muddled, so book online, and Sunday roasts have been hit and miss on timing and cooking.

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.
