Tucked-away Thai cooking in a pub setting, and the sort of place where a family of seven or eight can spread out without anyone tutting. The dining area sits apart from the main bar, so it stays calm enough for a proper meal, and there's a log fire that small children tend to sit still in front of. The team are warm, quick with the food, and happy to flag which dishes are seriously hot before you order — useful when you're sharing plates. The beef massaman gets the loudest praise, along with the Thai fishcakes, tempura prawns and the mixed starter for two; portions are generous and the lunchtime two-course menu keeps a family bill sensible. Free parking, high chairs, a kids' menu and a small outdoor area. The exterior looks plain — inside is cosy and spotless.

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.
