Restaurant · Bristol
Tucked into the ground floor of Bristol Beacon, it's a light, airy room with space to park a pram and none of the stuffiness of a pub dining room. High chairs are there, plus tables outside when it fills up. Mornings are pastry territory — the cardamom knot gets rhapsodic mentions, and the vegan one fools people entirely. Egg and mushroom toast, haddock mornay and a basque cheesecake regulars rave about all land well, and Sunday roasts bring tender beef, crisp crackling and portions generous enough to share with a small person off the kids' menu. Two honest snags: weekends get very busy and a free table is hard to come by, and one parent found it loud enough that they were "shouting across the table" — not the calm Sunday lunch you might be picturing.
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.
Sunny Bristol rooftop with a kids' menu, high chairs and quick, friendly service on quieter evenings — though weekends get loud and hectic.
