Modern European · Nottingham
A small spot in the middle of Bingham that families slot into easily — buggy access, high chairs, a kids' menu and free parking take the usual faff out of getting through the door. The room is cosy rather than sprawling, with a Mediterranean feel and staff who strike a nice balance: they leave you be, then appear when you need them, which matters when someone's fidgeting. Food comes out quickly and is freshly cooked, so short fuses don't get tested. Breakfast draws real praise, as do the pizzas, the smoked bacon and parmesan carbonara, the charcoal-grilled chicken and the skin-on fries. Around £14 a head at lunch feels fair for the quality. Regulars say the staff recognise them every visit — worth booking at busy weekend times, given how compact it is.
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.
A warm Cantonese spot in Bingham with carved latticework, lanterns, live music, high chairs and vegan options for the family.
A traditional wood-panelled Nottingham pub serving real ales, with outdoor seating out back and a warm 4.4-star welcome from families.
Garden centre with a big soft play barn and a roomy table-service café — free parking, famous scones, confusing ordering.
