Pub · Dorking
Weekday lunch with a toddler in tow is straightforward here — high chairs are ready, there's a kids' menu, and free parking means you're not circling with a sleeping child in the back. It's a quiet pub rather than a boisterous one, which suits younger children who get overwhelmed, and older ones who'll happily sit through a meal. Outdoor seating gives you somewhere to go when someone needs to stretch their legs, and gluten-free options are on hand if that's a factor. Booking ahead is recommended, so ring before you set off.
