Restaurants · Oxford
Tucked into a village outside Oxford, this one manages the neat trick of being properly good food without being precious about children. There's a covered alfresco area that families gravitate to for gatherings, plenty of free parking, high chairs, buggy access and a kids' menu — and the staff have a reputation for going out of their way with little ones. Food is a cut above pub standard: lamb croquettes, nduja scotch egg, freshly made pizzas and burgers, generous curry nights with naan and poppadom, and roasts that arrive fast even when the bar is packed — one family were seated and fed in fifteen minutes on Easter Sunday. Vegan options too. It gets genuinely busy at weekends and for occasions, so book ahead rather than chance it.
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.
