Restaurants · Alnwick
A short, easy walk from Alnwick centre, this pub-hotel has a big family room that swallows prams without anyone having to shuffle chairs, plus a beer garden that earns its keep on warm afternoons. Staff are consistently warm — the sort who notice a child before you have to ask — and the kitchen sends out generous, freshly cooked plates: the Sunday roast comes in for particular praise, and breakfast is cooked to order. High chairs, a kids' menu, vegan options and free parking are all sorted. Two honest notes: it gets genuinely busy, so book if you want a table rather than a hopeful hover, and skip the king prawns — one visitor counted three for the price. Prices otherwise are described as very reasonable, and it sits between two main roads, so expect some traffic hum outside.
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.
