Wheelchair users report genuinely step-free access here, which usually means pram access is easy too — and there's a beer garden with flowers for when a toddler needs to be somewhere loud is fine. The Sunday roast is the reason to come: tender meat, crispy roast potatoes, cauliflower cheese people still talk about, and portions described as massive. The team are patient and sensible with children — one family was charged £5 instead of £9 for a toddler-sized roast rather than being sold a full plate she'd never finish. Food generally arrives quickly. Two honest snags: it gets busy even midweek, so call ahead, and Sunday lunch sittings run to a time slot, with some families feeling hurried near closing. Kids' menu, high chairs, vegan options and free parking. There's also a bearded dragon.
