The Lord Nelson Inn Besthorpe
A traditional village pub near Newark with steaks, comfort food and outdoor seating — a warm, well-rated spot for a family meal.

Restaurant · Newark
Turning up here with children doesn't take much thought — there's a kids' menu, high chairs ready, and step-free access so a buggy can come straight in. It's a quiet spot rather than a boisterous one, which suits a meal where the children will sit and eat, and outdoor seating gives you somewhere to go when someone needs air. Gluten-free options are available if that's a factor for your family. Booking ahead is a good idea, and mains sit in the mid-range at around ££.

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.
