Gastropub · Marlborough
Sitting down here on a busy Sunday feels easy even with children in tow — the team keeps things organised, food arrives promptly, and nobody rushes you out. The roasts are the draw: proper roast potatoes, gravy people talk about for weeks, a Yorkshire pudding done properly, and portions generous enough that a smaller appetite can share. The burger is worth a look too, and the puddings are a genuine event — one crumble had a family raving long afterwards. There's a kids' menu, high chairs and a pub garden for when little ones need to move about, plus free parking and level access for a pram. Two honest notes: the building is old and the plumbing can be noisy, and phone signal is poor (there's WiFi). Book ahead at weekends.
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.
