Bar & grill · Nottingham
Coming here with kids feels easy — there's free parking, buggy access to get a pram in without a fuss, high chairs, and a kids' menu, and the room is busy without being overwhelming. Food tends to arrive fast and hot, which matters when someone's melting down, and the team stay patient even when a big group takes an age to order. Portions are generous and the prices are low: sizzling plates, a chicken and bacon salad with extra halloumi, fish with double chips, and burgers where you can double up the patty and the chips too. The sundaes are enormous. There's a real fire, outdoor seating for warmer days, and vegan and vegetarian options that keep mixed groups happy. It's not flawless — on busy nights the fryer work can be hit and miss, and waits stretch — but one parent says it's been "perfect every time".
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.
