Pub · Southampton
A big Greene King local with plenty of seating, sports on the TVs and a sun-catching outdoor area with proper tables — handy when you need the children somewhere they can be a bit noisy. High chairs, a kids' menu and step-free access for the pram make the practical side easy, and the staff are generally attentive. Food is pub-classic and mostly good: the fish and chips with curry gravy has a real following, the katsu chicken burger has a gentle warmth rather than proper heat, and the cod goujons land well. Two things to know: ordering is by phone app, so a group's plates can arrive minutes apart, and it gets genuinely loud when football's on — one visitor found the TV drowned out conversation entirely. Come at lunch or sit outside if you want calm.
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.
