Restaurants · Southwell
A village pub in Southwell that manages the trick of feeling special without being precious about children — one visitor's fondest bit of a recent lunch was watching a young mum, her toddler and nana settled in with cartoons while the little one worked through everything within reach. Free parking helps, though the car park fills fast and it's worth booking at busy times. Buggy access, high chairs and a kids' menu are all in place, plus outdoor seating for when the noise needs somewhere to go. The salt and pepper chicken and the homemade soups get the most devoted praise, gluten-free choices are plentiful, and the owners and team are genuinely warm — the chef has been known to come out and check. Around £17 a head for mains. Sunday roasts can be hit and miss.
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.
