English · Stratford-upon-Avon
Dinner here means boarding a canal boat moored opposite the RSC in Bancroft Basin and cruising the Avon for around three hours, so it's a proper occasion rather than a quick bite — worth knowing before you book with children in tow. The set menu runs to three choices per course including vegetarian, there are high chairs, a kids' menu and buggy access, and the staff get repeated praise for being warm and unhurried. Families single out the lamb with salsa verde and the Mediterranean Wellington, and the countryside drifting past keeps small people occupied between courses. Be realistic about cost — around £150 for two with drinks — and about the length; there's no slipping out early. Food quality can wobble, and larger private groups occasionally share the boat, so ask what else is booked.
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.
