Restaurants · Canterbury
A family-run brewpub where the beer is made on site, this is the kind of place that suits a family meal without feeling stuffy — buggy access, high chairs, a kids' menu and tables outside when the weather plays along. Food arrives fast, which matters when someone's patience is running out, and the staff stay friendly and helpful even when they're clearly run off their feet. Portions are generous: the steak pie and burgers come out huge, and the sharing platter with ribs, wings and onion rings is a good bet with older children. Prices sit above standard pub level because it's a microbrewery, so expect around £85 for two with drinks. Worth booking at weekends, and note that Sunday food service stops early — last orders around 4.45pm.

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.
