Pub · Bristol
Bristol families have been coming here for years, and the appeal is easy to see: cheap, quick pub food that lands hot, plus a proper play area and a giant Gromit that toddlers make a beeline for. Prices are the draw — the 2 mains for £14 deal comes up again and again, with fish and chips singled out for moist fish and genuinely crispy batter, and the steak sizzler and mixed grill both get raved about. Breakfasts are good value too, though the sausages are hit and miss and steaks don't always come back cooked as asked. Free parking, high chairs, a kids' menu and step-free buggy access make the logistics painless. It gets busy at peak times but stays surprisingly calm — one parent called it "busy but calm" on the Friday before Christmas.
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.
