A Sunday carvery here draws proper praise — four meats, a spread of vegetable dishes well into double figures, and things like a leek and cheese bake that people single out. Portions are generous enough that starters and puddings are optional, which matters when you're splitting a plate with a small person. The atmosphere is calm and unhurried, staff are attentive without hovering, and large family parties are handled well; high chairs, a kids' menu and buggy access are all there, plus free parking and outdoor seating for when a toddler needs to escape the table. Worth booking, and worth asking for a decent-sized table — one family found themselves squeezed onto a small dark one despite a quiet room. It can also get warm inside on hot days. Around £14.50–£21 for Sunday lunch.

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.
