Restaurant · Bristol
A huge enclosed beer garden is the reason families keep coming back here — it's colourful, dog-friendly, and has a play castle that will happily absorb the children while you finish a drink. Most of the pub sits on one level with just the odd step, so getting a pram in is straightforward, and there's free parking plus covered outdoor areas for less reliable Bristol afternoons. Sunday roasts get the most praise: tender meat, rich gravy, generous portions. The sweet potato pie and Nutella doughnuts come up again and again, and vegan, vegetarian and gluten-free options are properly catered for rather than an afterthought. Staff are warm and used to children. It does get busy and buzzy at weekends — and go too late in the afternoon and you may find it quiet and a little chilly, with chips that have sat around.

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.
