Restaurant · Bristol
A big Sunday roast in Bristol with kids in tow is genuinely manageable here, largely because of the play area — families with tables of eight and eleven report that children happily peel off to play while the adults actually eat and talk. Food comes out fast and portions are generous; the roasts get particular praise, including the vegetarian one, with good roast potatoes, gravy and a towering Yorkshire pudding. Staff are warm and cope well with big, noisy groups on a packed pub floor. There's a large beer garden for warmer days, a kids' menu, high chairs and vegan options, and the kitchen runs until 9pm. Two snags worth knowing: the car park is small and residential parking nearby gets tight when it's full, and the fish and chips at £17.50 has let people down.
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.
