Restaurant · Nottingham
A Nottingham dining room that's had a refurb and looks it — decor people call lovely, plus outdoor seating that comes into its own on a warm evening. It's a proper restaurant rather than a family pub, at ££££ and worth booking, but there are high chairs, a kids' menu, buggy access and free parking, so the logistics are easy. The Sunday roast is the thing to come for: beef cooked properly, cauliflower cheese that's a cut above the usual, and a rhubarb and custard panna cotta regulars want kept on the menu. The set lunch punches above its price too — burrata salad, spinach tortellini, chicken with mash. Two honest snags: the music can run too loud, and service can drag badly when they're busy, which is a long wait with hungry children.
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.
