Pub · Birmingham
Sunday lunch here runs busy and buzzy, which works in your favour with children — the noise of a full room covers a toddler having opinions, and the staff move fast and stay warm even at the peak of it. There's a kids' menu, high chairs and outdoor seating for when someone needs air, plus proper vegan roasts rather than an afterthought. Roast beef and pork come out freshly cooked and generous, the rotisserie chicken in spicy honey sauce gets talked about, and the pizzas are an easy win for a picky six-year-old. Free parking helps enormously, though the car park is poorly lit after dark, so bear that in mind for winter evenings. Coeliac and allergy requests are handled calmly and without fuss. Weekends fill up — book if you want a table with room for a pram.
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.
Birmingham spot for traditional Iranian comfort food, with high chairs, booth seating and an outdoor area for families.
Warm, spotless Turkish grill with fast service, generous kebabs, a kids' menu, high chairs and free parking — and excellent baklava.
Roomy Hagley Road Indian with free parking, fast service and generous sharing platters — good for family celebrations, pricier than a local curry house.
