Pub · Brighton
A proper neighbourhood local that's been done up nicely — traditional bones, warm and comfortable, with outdoor seating for when the pram won't fit through a busy room. Sundays are the draw and the crowd skews heavily towards families, so nobody will blink at a bit of noise; one visitor who came child-free rated the atmosphere down purely because it was so family-heavy that day. The kitchen turns out roast pork with crackling that people can't stop thinking about, blue cheese croquettes, pies with roasted veg and good chips, and generous portions. Kids' menu and high chairs are there. Two honest notes: roasts can be hit-and-miss late in service, particularly the potatoes, and service sometimes drifts once mains land. Live music on some Sunday evenings stays quiet enough to talk over.
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.
