Restaurant · Newark
Sunday lunch here comes with more elbow room than most — tables spaced properly, so there's space for a pram beside you rather than blocking the aisle. Roast choices run longer than usual and there's a whole page of puddings, which helps when everyone wants something different. Families praise the belly pork burger and the Thai red curry from the specials, and food arrives freshly cooked even late in service. Kids' menu, high chairs, free parking, and a patio for sunny afternoons. Buggy access is straightforward and there are vegan options. One honest note: the small bar next to the dining room can get loud when drinkers come in, so a quieter weekday afternoon suits younger children better. The team check in on tables properly — one parent found the care "outstanding".
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.
