Walking in straight off a day trip can feel a bit startling — this is a properly grand room, all rich colours, statement lighting and greenery, and the marble bathrooms are worth a look even if nobody needs the loo. But the fear of stuffiness doesn't hold up: the team is quick, warm and unbothered by however you've turned up, and food lands fast, which matters when someone small is fraying. There's a kids' menu, high chairs, buggy access and outdoor seating, plus vegan options. Cod goujons, salmon linguine and the Keralan sweet potato curry get the most love, and the sundae with candy floss and popping candy is a proper event for children. It's a big menu, so quality wanders a little. Downstairs gets packed and loud — ask for upstairs, and book ahead.
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.
