Old Cottage Lisvane
A picturesque Cardiff-edge pub with rave-worthy rotisserie chicken, a wood burner, kids' menu and free parking — pricey, so book ahead.

Pub · Cardiff
Sitting up with views over the city, this is a roomy Cardiff pub where a buggy isn't a problem and the free parking takes one job off the list before you've even got out of the car. There are high chairs, a kids' menu, and staff who tend to be warm and attentive with a table full of small people — families repeatedly single out how well looked after they felt. Cooking gets steady praise for quality, and at quieter times food arrives fast. The honest caveat: Sunday lunch is hit and miss, with one family waiting 45 minutes for a roast that came out dry and underwhelming for £20. Midweek or off-peak is the safer bet, and keep an eye out for the meal offers that regulars rate.

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.
