Mercure Sheffield Kenwood Hall & Spa
Victorian hotel in Sheffield with grounds, an on-site restaurant and a swimming pool — handy for a family stay.

Pub · Sheffield
A proper Sheffield local — real ales, a huge drinks choice, and a jovial buzz that stays conversational rather than deafening, though it fills with students and darts players in the evenings. Families are properly set up here: kids' menu, high chairs, buggy access, free parking and a good outside space that's dog friendly too. Portions are genuinely generous — the burgers and fish and chips get the most love, and the children's pasta and chicken strips arrive big enough that nobody leaves hungry. Food comes out quickly, which matters when someone's melting down. The team can be accommodating; one family arriving five minutes before the kitchen closed had the chef stay on for them. It's not flawless — cooking is inconsistent, chips have arrived overdone, and the gents' loos have long needed attention. Card only, no cash.

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.
