Restaurants · Hereford
A proper pub lunch in Hereford where turning up without booking on a bank holiday still tends to work out — one group of eight were seated and had drinks ordered within minutes. The menu leans Italian, and the pizza is the thing families come back for, alongside tender beef ragù, a fluffy focaccia starter and a Sunday roast with properly crisp roasties. Vegetarian and vegan eaters are looked after with real cooking rather than processed fake meat. Food arrives fast and the staff are warm without hovering, which matters when someone small is fraying. There are high chairs, a kids' menu, buggy access, free parking and a garden that fills up quickly in good weather. Dogs get a water bowl. One snag: it can run cold indoors, so keep a jumper handy.

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.
