Waterfront tables looking straight out over the harbour make this feel like a treat, and yet nobody minds a family turning up — buggy access is fine, high chairs are there, and there's a kids' menu alongside vegan options. Parents report unhurried, attentive service: staff check in regularly, don't rush you through ordering, and one group had a mistakenly added child's meal quietly taken off the bill. Food arrives promptly and in generous portions — the fish and chips draws real praise, as does the steak, and the bread-and-olive sharing platter buys you time with hungry children. Parking at the NCP next door is free for customers. It's a polished, dim-lit space rather than a casual one, so it suits older children or an occasion; book ahead, and note weekday lunches run 25% off Monday to Thursday.
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.
