Gastropub · Grantham
A proper old-style village pub on the Lincoln road, with a big garden round the back that does most of the heavy lifting when you've got children in tow — peaceful, plenty of space to spread out, and easy to get a buggy in. Food is the reason people come back: the pheasant pie with mash, fish and chips with a portion that defeats most adults, sausage and mash with a Yorkshire, and burgers that get properly raved about. Portions are generous enough to share with a smaller child. The team are warm and quick — one group arrived an hour early for afternoon tea and were served within five minutes. Dogs are welcome in the bar. Free parking, a kids' menu, high chairs and vegan options. It's a destination pub rather than a quick pit stop, so book at weekends.
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.
Honest, generous breakfasts and a £12 Sunday roast in a busy old conservatory café, with a kids' menu, high chairs and free parking.
