Pub · Bristol
Tucked away on the cobbled canalside near Bathurst Basin, this is a proper Bristol pub that happens to work well with children in tow — buggy access along the towpath, high chairs, a kids' menu, and bar staff who are genuinely personable rather than merely polite. The huge terrace overlooking the harbour is the draw: plenty of room for a pram, space for children to be a bit noisy, and views that keep everyone happy while you wait. The fish and chips gets particular praise — mushy peas, homemade tartare sauce, and a curry sauce worth ordering — and portions are generous, with the Sunday roast a regular pick. Two honest notes: it gets very busy on sunny days and summer weekends, so book or come early, and service charge is added automatically.
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.
