A Saturday evening here is properly buzzing — full tables, a real hum, and staff who somehow keep pace with all of it while still stopping to chat. That matters with children: nothing feels rushed, courses arrive with breathing room, and nobody hurries you out when a toddler needs ten more minutes. Allergies are taken seriously, with kitchen queries checked rather than guessed at. The Sunday roast is the thing to come for — thick slices of rare beef, generous portions, a vegetarian wellington that turns heads — and the crème brûlée has a following. There's a kids' menu, high chairs, buggy access, outdoor seating and free parking. Worth knowing: it's not a cheap night, closer to £45 a head with pudding and drinks, and big tables need booking ahead.
