Pub · Plymouth
Tucked just off the city centre and away from the Hoe and Barbican crowds, this is a proper local — one big horseshoe bar, comfy cushioned seating, and plenty of room to spread out with a group. The sun terrace out front is the draw with children: tables outside, warm afternoon light, and space to let them fidget without bothering anyone. High chairs and a kids' menu are there, and Sunday lunches run through the afternoon. Prices are gentle, the staff are warm and unhurried, and the mix of locals and party groups keeps it lively rather than rowdy. Worth knowing: Sunday afternoons bring karaoke, so it's cheerful and loud — brilliant if your children like a bit of noise, less so for a quiet meal. Dogs are welcome, and the pub's history is written up on boards around the walls.
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.
