Pub · Edinburgh
A busy Stockbridge local with enough space to matter — comfortable seating, room to get a pram in, and covered and open outdoor areas that come into their own in decent weather. Inside it's cosy in winter, with a fireplace and a separate Library room that gets used for gatherings. Children and dogs are both genuinely welcome, and there's a kids' menu and high chairs. Breakfast is the thing to come for: the full Scottish draws real praise, especially the haggis and black pudding, and the porridge and bacon rolls hold their own. Prices feel fair for what you get. Two honest snags — book ahead for food and get your reservation confirmed, and service can lag at busy times, so ordering at the bar is quicker when someone's hungry.
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.
