The Nelson
Warm local pub with a family-filled garden, generous homemade food, famously good chips, free parking and a kids' menu.

Restaurant · Nottingham
A cosy village pub on the edge of Nottingham that suits a family lunch better than a rushed weekday meal — it's open and clean inside with room to get a pram through, free parking outside, and a fireplace going in the colder months. Staff are consistently warm and chatty, the sort who'll have a laugh with children rather than hover, and service stays quick even when it fills up. Portions are generous and good value; the toad in the hole and the risottos come up often, though the kitchen can be inconsistent — a few people have found roast vegetables and potatoes undercooked, so it's worth ordering carefully. There's a kids' menu, high chairs and outdoor seating, and dogs are welcome too (they even hand out blankets). Booking is sensible for weekend afternoons, as one family found it "soon got extremely busy".

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.
