Pub · Cardiff
Right in the middle of Cardiff, this is a big, spacious pub with plenty of room inside and out — useful when you've got a pram and shopping bags in tow. The kitchen turns things around fast even when it's heaving, which matters when someone's patience has run out. Pizzas and loaded fries get the most love, with portions described as generous for the price, and there's a kids' menu, high chairs and outdoor tables. Staff are warm and attentive without you having to flag them down. Worth knowing: there's live music some evenings and it gets properly buzzing on match days, so it's loud — the team will usually tell you what's on before you order. Prices sit a little above the average pint. Quieter earlier in the day if you want a calmer lunch.
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.
