Pub · Bristol
Tucked away beside a community café and a working farm, this is the kind of Bristol pub parents end up returning to — buggy access, free parking, high chairs, and outdoor tables that come into their own on a sunny afternoon after a walk around Purdown. The Sunday roast is the draw: perfectly cooked lamb and beef, enormous Yorkshire puddings, cauliflower cheese worth ordering on the side. Kedgeree, mushrooms on toast and the chocolate-beetroot cake also get raved about, and there's a fire inside for colder days. It's dog friendly and genuinely welcoming, with real community spirit. Two honest snags: Sunday lunchtimes are heaving, so book or expect an hour's wait, and when the kitchen is under pressure, plates on the same table can arrive separately — worth ordering the children's food first.
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.
Coffee, fresh made-to-order food and a playground next door — tiny inside, but the sunny balcony makes it work with children.
