Shakespeare Tavern
Bristol's oldest pub — roaring fire, hearty roasts and pies, warm staff, kids' menu and high chairs, though tables go fast.

Café · Bristol
Tucked into a tiny harbourside cabin, this is a proper Bristol breakfast spot where the crepes are made fresh in front of you and portions run generous for around £4–5. Kids go for the banana and Nutella; grown-ups rate the avocado, mushroom and cheddar, or the feta and olive. A few outdoor tables look out over the water, and there's real entertainment for little ones when the bridge swings open mid-meal. Service is usually quick and friendly, which helps when someone's hungry and restless. Worth knowing: inside is genuinely small, so buggies are easier parked outside, there's a £5 minimum on card, and hours can be unpredictable — one family arrived before the posted closing time and found it shut. Quality can wobble too, though most mornings people leave happy.

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.
