Restaurant · Cardiff
Wheelchair users have been walked to the lift and seated upstairs near the accessible toilet, with dining chairs already cleared away so nobody has to make a fuss on arrival — that kind of thinking-ahead usually means prams get the same treatment. It's a big, handsome room with a view over the bay, high chairs, a kids' menu, vegan options and outdoor seating when the weather holds. Food comes out fast even on packed December Saturdays, and the roast draws real praise — bottomless Yorkshire puddings and gravy. The lunchtime smaller kebab is good value. Two honest snags: portions of veg with a Sunday roast can be stingy for a big table, and some corners get chilly. Live music at busy times is fun, but not the spot for a quiet feed.
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.
