Restaurants · Worcester
Sitting quietly out in the Worcestershire countryside near Abberley, this is a proper pub-with-rooms where the food is the main event. Parents get free parking, buggy access, high chairs and a kids' menu, plus a terrace with lovely views that comes into its own on a sunny day — far easier than keeping small ones still indoors. The staff are the thing people mention most: warm, patient and genuinely accommodating, even with unexpected early arrivals and dogs in tow (it's very dog-friendly). Worth knowing the à la carte leans grown-up and isn't cheap, so check the specials board — the roasted tomato soup and a sticky toffee pudding that regulars rave about are safer bets for younger tastes. The Sunday roast, with thick slices of tender beef and rich gravy, is the one to book for.
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.
