Pub · Norwich
Big groups are this place's quiet superpower — parties of forty-plus have been fed here without anyone breaking a sweat, which tells you a table of four with a toddler won't faze the staff. The restaurant area is genuinely spacious rather than shoulder-to-shoulder, so a pram isn't a problem, and there's step-free access plus free parking outside. Portions are enormous: the loaded fries defeat grown adults, the chilli gets raved about, and the steak and kidney suet pudding arrives properly hot. There's a kids' menu, high chairs, and outdoor seating for warmer days. Prices are fair for standard pub cooking done well. It fills up fast, even at Friday lunchtime, so book if you can — and if a function is on elsewhere in the building, you genuinely won't hear it.
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.
