Restaurants · Spennymoor
Dating back to 1727, this Spennymoor pub has the kind of history you can feel in the walls, plus a beer garden with a play area that buys parents a proper sit-down. Sunday lunch is the thing to come for — portions people describe as incredible, with pigs in blankets and cauliflower cheese worth adding on, and a nut roast if you'd rather skip the meat. The chips get raved about too. Staff are genuinely warm with families; one group arrived late with a baby asleep in a pushchair and were squeezed in without fuss. High chairs, a kids' menu and free parking all help. Two things worth knowing: there's a step at the entrance, so buggies need a lift over, and it's popular enough that booking ahead is sensible. Food can take a while at busy times.
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.
