Restaurants · Boston
Eight or nine years on, regulars still find this Boston spot doing what it always did — a warm welcome at the door, plenty of choice, and portions big enough that most people give up before dessert. The Sunday carvery is the draw: three meats, help-yourself veg, roast and mash, cauliflower cheese, and a Yorkshire pudding families describe as huge. The lasagne and the creamy garlic chicken get singled out too, and homemade puddings are worth saving room for. Newly refurbished, clean throughout, relaxed rather than fussy, with high chairs, a kids' menu, buggy access and its own free parking. Outdoor tables make a sunny evening easy with children. Two things worth knowing: it gets busy and noisy at weekends — good-natured, but loud — and you really do need to book, or you won't get a table.
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.
A laid-back Boston pub with a kids' menu, high chairs, vegan options and outdoor seating — an easy choice for a family meal out.

A no-queue Sunday carvery with thick-cut meat, kids' menu and high chairs — spotless, dog-friendly and worth booking.
