Gastropub · Hook
A proper old village pub rather than a chain done up to look like one — and the village green doubles as the garden, which means space to spread out on a sunny day while children run about and you watch the world go by. Two outdoor seating areas plus the pub itself, ample parking right outside, high chairs and a kids' menu, and buggy access throughout. Sunday roasts are the draw: the pork belly gets rapturous mentions, and one family had the staff come out to sing happy birthday with a cake. Kitchen is happy to tweak orders for fussy eaters. Worth knowing it's popular enough that booking a few weeks ahead is wise for Sunday lunch, and service can drag when it's full. Dogs outside only.
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.
