Pub · Birmingham
Big Victorian rooms with high ceilings mean you can steer a pram through without apologising to every table, and there's proper space between seats — handy when someone's kicking. It gets busy at weekends, so book ahead rather than turning up hopeful. Free parking takes one worry off the drive. The staff are unhurried and genuinely switched on about allergies and fussy eaters; one family with a child who has very specific tastes found the team happy to work around it entirely. Food is a step above standard pub fare — the lamb shoulder and the tagliatelle both get talked about long afterwards, and portions are generous enough that dessert is optimistic. There's a kids' menu, high chairs and outdoor seating. It's not cheap for a casual Tuesday, but for a birthday or a proper Sunday lunch it earns 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.
