Pub · Nottingham
A proper Sunday roast is the draw here — beef cooked pink and tender, crispy potatoes, tall Yorkshires and plenty of rich gravy, in portions generous enough that nobody leaves hungry. It's a roomy, warm sort of pub with free parking and outdoor tables that come into their own on a sunny afternoon, and there's a kids' menu, high chairs and buggy access if you're arriving after a walk at nearby Gedling Country Park. Staff check back on tables, and you can order through the app, which helps when you'd rather not queue at the bar with a toddler in tow. Worth knowing: the roast potatoes and gravy are done with garlic rather than plain, quality can wobble on a busy service, and popular dishes sometimes run out on a Friday night — book, and have a backup order in mind.
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.
