Bar & grill · Bristol
Handy if you're feeding a family without spending much — mains hover around a tenner, fish and chips runs on a 2-for-£13 deal, and portions are generous enough that nobody leaves hungry. The bar has plenty of natural light and there's outdoor seating, free parking and buggy access, so getting in with a pram isn't a wrestle. Burgers get the loudest praise, including a green one for anyone off meat, and the kebab-topped fries are worth ordering; there's a kids' menu, high chairs and vegan options too. Food usually lands faster than quoted, though a Friday night can mean a 45-minute wait, so come early with hungry children. Skip the breakfasts — they've come out lukewarm more than once. The front-of-house team are warm and quick to chat, which helps when little ones are restless.
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.
