Right in the centre of Bristol, this is a spot built around pork done properly — the Whole Hog with its crispy crackling and roast belly gets raved about, the scotch eggs come with a genuinely soft middle, and the dirty fries with bacon and spring onion are a big enough portion to share with a child. Seating is outdoors, which makes buggy access easy and suits dogs, though the built-in benches are hard and a bit awkward to shuffle in and out of. There's a kids' menu and high chairs, and the team are consistently warm — one family found them bending over backwards to fit them in when a booking went sideways. Breakfast runs pricey for what arrives, and the flatbreads are a weaker bet than the burgers.
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.
Inventive vegetable-led plates, warm focaccia and covered heated outdoor seating; small portions for the price, so book ahead.
A tiny harbourside container restaurant serving a two-hour tasting menu — special-occasion cooking, warm staff, better for older children.
Easygoing Bristol tapas spot with high chairs and outdoor seating, serving shareable seafood, meat and veggie plates for the whole family.
