British · Maidenhead
A Michelin-starred pub sounds like a place to leave the children at home, but this one holds onto its actual pub bones — proper atmosphere, real ale from a Marlow brewery, and a kids' menu, high chairs and buggy access alongside it. The team are patient explainers, walking you through every dish, and they take note of birthdays and special occasions if you mention it when you book. The fish melts in your mouth, the crispy haddock with salt-and-vinegar fries earns its reputation, and the scotch egg is the thing people come back for. Portions are generous — a 400g chateaubriand feeds two comfortably. It's a treat rather than a Tuesday: £££, and you'll want to book. There's outdoor seating and free parking, and lunches here have a habit of stretching for hours.
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.
