Grand, glossy and a bit of a treat — the sort of Bristol dining room you'd bring the grandparents to as much as the kids, with high chairs, a children's menu and enough space to get a buggy in. The conservatory end overlooking the garden is the spot to ask for: lighter, calmer, and pretty enough to keep small people looking out the window. Food genuinely delivers — the salt and pepper calamari and sticky toffee pudding come up again and again, vegetarian and vegan choices are properly done, and staff will happily bag up whatever nobody finishes. Two honest warnings: it's loud when full, with hard surfaces that bounce every conversation around, and the bill adds up quickly, though the set menus soften that. Book ahead, and aim for a quieter early sitting with children.
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.
