Right in the middle of Wales, this is the sort of stop that turns a quick drink into lunch in the garden and dinner later the same day. The traditional bar opens into a roomy, modern dining extension, so there's space for a pram, and the beer garden is generous with comfy seating under a pergola — handy when children need to move about. High chairs, a kids' menu and free parking all help, and the owners have been known to cook something off-menu for a child and squeeze full-house families in anyway. The Sunday roast draws people back (the lamb especially), steaks are done properly and the sticky toffee pudding gets its own fan club. Two friendly dogs pad about. Opening hours are limited and the lunch menu is short, so check before you drive over.

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.
