Toby Carvery Highnam
A budget-friendly Gloucester carvery with a kids' menu and outdoor seating — an easy spot for a relaxed family roast.

Restaurant · Gloucester
A canalside spot in Gloucester where lunch doesn't feel rushed — handy when you've got a toddler working through a plate at their own pace. There's free parking, buggy access and high chairs, a kids' menu, and outdoor seating on the balcony with river views, plus a canal path right there for the walk that burns off the wriggles afterwards. The staff are warm and genuinely knowledgeable about allergies, taking real time to check details, and vegan options are on the menu. Food people rave about: the thick-cut house ham with egg and chips, fall-apart topside of beef on Sundays, fillet steak with peppercorn sauce, and the cheesecake. Worth knowing it gets noisy in the middle of the room — ask for an edge table if your lot need calm, and book at weekends.

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.
