Gastropub · Totnes
Tucked in the Dart valley a few miles out of Totnes, this is the sort of country pub where a family with young children genuinely relaxes — parents who've stayed with toddlers in tow describe staff who couldn't have looked after them better. The dining room blends traditional with modern, and crucially there's plenty of space between tables, so a pram isn't a problem and nobody minds a bit of noise. High chairs, a kids' menu and free parking make the practical side easy, with outdoor seating for warmer days. Sunday lunch is the standout: generous portions, roast beef or a nut roast, and a vegetable spread of cauliflower cheese, red cabbage and roasted beetroot. The seafood chowder gets particular praise. Two snags worth knowing — Saturday lunchtimes get busy enough for a half-hour wait without a booking, and the kitchen closes early in the evening.
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.
