Gastropub · Norwich
Set in a working deer park a short drive from Norwich, this is the kind of pub that makes an ordinary Sunday feel like an occasion — big windows, an open fire, and deer wandering past outside to keep small people occupied between courses. It's roomier than a typical village pub, with buggy access, high chairs and a kids' menu, plus free parking so you're not circling with a car full of tired children. The food is the draw: steak cooked over the fire gets the most praise, alongside seasonal local dishes and vegan options. Worth knowing it's pricier than standard pub grub, weekends book up fast, and the outdoor tables have little shade or shelter if you're eating out with toddlers. The artwork throughout is genuinely interesting, if a little edgy in places.
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.
