Restaurants · Sutton-in-Ashfield
Walking in without a booking on a busy evening seems to work out here — tables get found, drinks and menus arrive quickly, and children are set up properly from the start, with the high chair already at the table for anyone who's pre-booked and colouring pencils handed over before anyone gets restless. It's bright, clean and surprisingly calm for how full it gets; music stays low and the room hums rather than roars, even with large groups in. Food lands in around half an hour. The mushroom tortellini with truffle oil draws real praise, as does the chicken pie with buttery mash, and the sticky toffee pudding is a reliable finish. Gluten-free choices are plentiful. One honest note: portions divide opinion — some mains, particularly the burger and braised beef, land smaller than expected. Free parking, buggy access, outdoor seating.
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.
