Pub · Bristol
A proper local with a community feel, this Bristol pub keeps prices low enough that a family of five can eat out without wincing — Sunday roasts around the £9 mark, two meals for £12.99 on some days, and portions that leave nobody hungry. Food comes out fast, which matters when a toddler has hit the wall, and the staff are chatty and genuinely good with children rather than just tolerating them. There are high chairs, a kids' menu, tables outside for warmer days, level access for a pram and free parking. The gammon and the steak and ale pie both get raved about, and dogs get a water bowl. Worth saying: the decor and carpets are tired and it does get busy, so book for Sunday lunch.
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.
