Pub · Nottingham
Tucked just off the Victoria Centre, this art deco-leaning bar is roomier than the city-centre address suggests, with round tables, comfy seats and a roaring fire that children tend to gravitate towards. The mix of people is broad and the culture is a courteous one — kids can be kids here without anyone tutting, and there's still enough space between tables for a pram. Staff are quick and genuinely welcoming, so drinks and food land before anyone unravels. Pizza gets good mentions, prices are fair for the centre, and the terrace is a real asset on a warm day. High chairs and a kids' menu are available. One honest note: it fills up fast from about 7pm and gets properly lively towards the weekend, so an early lunch or teatime visit suits families far better.
