Pub · Nottingham
Sunday lunch is the reason most families end up here, and the carvery does the heavy lifting — beef that people describe as melt-in-the-mouth, generous slices carved to order, proper gravy made from the meat juices, and cauliflower cheese that gets singled out again and again. Everything past the meat is self-serve, which is handy when you've got a hungry child: you can fill a plate at their pace rather than waiting on a kitchen. There's a kids' menu, high chairs, outdoor seating for warmer days, level buggy access and free parking, so the logistics are straightforward. Two honest caveats: it gets genuinely busy at weekends, and booking is a faff — the phone often goes unanswered and there's no online option, so turning up early is the safer bet. One parent calls it "not posh, a homely dinner", which is about right.
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.
