The Mussel Inn
Spectacular views, a playground beside the outdoor tables and generous, genuinely good pub food — a proper sunny-day family lunch.

Restaurant · Plymouth
A country pub just outside Plymouth that parents keep coming back to, mostly for the sharing platters — the ploughman's and the roast platter are the talk of the place, both advertised for two but realistically feeding three, sometimes four. That matters when you're splitting a meal with a couple of children. Food is freshly cooked and can take a while to arrive, so bring something to occupy small hands. The kitchen has form on allergies, going off-menu to sort a child out, and the staff are warm about it. There's a proper beer garden for sunny days, high chairs, a kids' menu and buggy access, plus free parking — though the on-site spaces are limited, so arrive early at weekends. Indoor tables can be tight; ask for one away from the door.

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.
