Modern European · Bournemouth
Sunday roasts here land with proper home-cooked heft — generous meat and Yorkshire puddings big enough to distract a bored four-year-old — and the two-course deal is genuinely good value. The space runs much deeper than the frontage suggests, plant-filled and relaxed, with a terrace overlooking the gardens that's the pick for prams and wriggling. The kids' setup is a real strength, and the team handle family chaos gracefully: burnt kids' burgers came off the bill without fuss, water glasses get topped up unasked, and one family found them unbothered by a smashed glass. Breakfast is a highlight (the eggs benedict and English breakfast both praised), as are the haddock scotch egg and the Buddha bowl. Worth knowing: it gets busy, service slows when it does, some mains land pricier than they eat, and booking saves a wait. Free parking, high chairs, kids' menu, vegan options.
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.
