THE PIG-near Bath
A well-loved country house hotel near Bath, rated 4.6 from over 1,500 reviews and set up for a relaxed family stay.

Restaurants · Bath
Set in a country house with its own kitchen garden and deer park, this is the kind of place where children can run about outside while the grown-ups linger — and lingering is often necessary, because service on a busy Sunday can be slow. There's a kids' menu, high chairs, outdoor seating and free parking, so the practical side is covered. The Castlemead chicken supreme comes soft and generous, the root vegetable broth is a genuinely good starter, and the flower pot of chips arrives crisp and well salted. Staff are attentive and unfailingly polite, and they'll take a dish off the bill without argument if it isn't right. Two honest snags: it's expensive for what it is, and vegetarians may find the terrace menu thin — the garden pizza menu is the better bet. One family calls it their favourite eatery.

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.
