Pub · Newcastle upon Tyne
Set in a solid stone building a few steps from the metro, this feels like a proper local — open fire inside, and a big garden with wooden benches where children can move about while you finish a drink. Parking is plentiful and free, so the pram-and-car-seat shuffle is easy, and there are high chairs and a kids' menu. Booking online is straightforward and worth doing; weekends fill up. The steaks and triple-cooked chips get the most praise, and one family reported a genuinely enormous plate of fish and chips for their son. Portions can be hit and miss on Sunday lunch, and prices sit at the upper end for pub food. Dogs are welcome but only in the busier bar area, not the quieter restaurant side.
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.
