Restaurant · Chippenham
A country pub with hanging baskets out front and open fields around it, this is somewhere families genuinely settle into rather than rush through. Tables outside on comfortable chairs make it easy with a pram, and there's free parking just across the road — handy when you're unloading kids and bags. The menu leans fish-forward, and the Sunday roast draws real praise: confit roast potatoes, beef that falls apart, proper gravy, sweet carrots and red cabbage. Kids' menu and high chairs are there, and the staff are unfussy and quick with anything you ask for, which matters when someone's fidgeting. It's a treat-spot rather than a cheap lunch, and the odd dish has landed under-cooked, so it's worth booking ahead for a weekend table. One family called the whole afternoon "magical" — and meant it.
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.
