Pub · Birmingham
A proper old Brummie boozer rather than a polished gastropub, with the kind of regulars who'll happily talk you through decades of local history while your children colour in. There's a kids' menu, high chairs and buggy access, plus free parking — genuinely useful in this bit of the city, close to the Jewellery Quarter. The beer garden is where families tend to end up in warm weather, and it's roomy enough for a pram. Breakfast gets particular praise, and the food is honest, basic and cheap — Holden's beers at Wetherspoon-ish prices. Staff are chatty and remember what you ordered. Worth knowing: it's a traditional drinkers' pub with a pool table and juke box, so it can get lively in the evenings, and there's no dedicated accessible toilet, though the team go out of their way to help.
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.
