Restaurants · Church Stretton
Walkers come off the Shropshire Hills and land here, and it holds up just as well with children in tow — free parking outside, level buggy access, high chairs and a kids' menu, and staff who genuinely don't mind fuss. Portions are generous and the Sunday roast is the thing to order, with a good spread of veg; the roasted salmon with honey and soy gets its own praise, and desserts are worth staying for. There are fish options aplenty and vegan choices too. The building itself is a picture in summer, smothered in wisteria and hanging baskets, with outdoor seating for when everyone needs air. Two honest notes: it gets very busy, so book ahead, and the kitchen can have an off day. One parent calls the atmosphere "warm, welcoming, home-like".
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.
