About The Lock

Sitting down here with children is straightforward — high chairs are ready, there's a kids' menu, and step-free access means you can push a buggy straight in without hunting for a side door. It's a lively room rather than a hushed one, which is good news if your toddler is having a loud day. Free parking takes the sting out of arriving with a car full of small people and their gear, and there's outdoor seating when everyone needs air. Gluten-free options are available, and booking ahead is worth doing.
