Gastropub · Chippenham
A proper old-village pub just outside Chippenham, all stone floors, low beams and stag heads on the walls, with a courtyard that's genuinely roomy — plenty of space to park a pram beside the table, parasols for hot days and blankets when it turns cool. Free parking helps, and the staff are attentive without hovering, checking in on dietary needs and how everyone's getting on. Food is the draw: crisp battered haddock with proper chips and homemade tartare, jumbo prawns in garlic butter on toasted focaccia, and pies people come back for. The fixed-price lunch is good value at around £18.50 for two courses, and there's a kids' menu, high chairs and vegan options. It's popular enough that the sister pub sends overflow here, so book at weekends.
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.
