Pub · Plymouth
A grand old bank building with high ceilings and stylish decor, this Plymouth spot feels more sophisticated than the average family lunch, but there's a kids' menu, high chairs and buggy access, and it's roomy enough that a pram isn't a problem. Outdoor seating helps on warm days. The grazing shelves are worth ordering, the cakes are good, and the kitchen is genuinely willing to work around allergies and intolerances — one family had two fresh courses made from scratch at short notice. Staff are friendly and patient. Happy hour runs 4pm to 7pm, and you can book a table online, which is worth doing at busy times. Standards can slip on the small things — one parent had to send back a stained cup — but the food and the welcome hold up.
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.
Fluffy Neapolitan pizza in a 15th-century merchant's house with a well in the floor — fast, friendly, and worth booking.
