Pub · Norwich
Right on the river with a garden fronting the water, this is the sort of pub where you can let the afternoon stretch out a bit — outdoor tables, room to park a buggy, and free parking so you're not circling with a car full of tired children. Inside is handsome and relaxed, with high chairs and a kids' menu, and the food gets real praise when it lands: tender roast turkey, generously filled sandwiches with chips for a lighter lunch. The snag worth knowing is timing. Food can take a while, especially when it's busy, so order drinks and something to nibble early rather than waiting until someone hits the wall. Drinks lean pricey for what they are, and service has been patchy enough lately that it's worth phoning ahead and confirming your table.
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.
