Sunday lunch here is the main event, and it's worth ringing ahead — it fills up fast and tables run out, though it thins after about half one. Even when the room is full, food lands quickly, which matters when someone small has run out of patience. The staff are warm from the door and handled a table of fifteen without a fuss, so a pram, a high chair and a wriggling toddler won't faze them. Portions are generous: the roast beef, the braised beef with mash and the lamb all get raved about, and the crème brûlée has a following. There's a kids' menu that works for fussy eaters, vegan options, outdoor seating and free parking. Puddings can be hit and miss — one parent found the Eton mess runny — but the three courses for £28 is decent value.
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.
