San Carlo - Bristol
Buzzy, generous Italian with high chairs, a kids' menu and buggy access — book ahead, and expect slow gaps between courses.

Pub · Bristol
There's a lively, sport-first feel to this Bristol pub — a dozen screens, and the team will usually put your game on if one's free. That energy cuts both ways for families: it's roomy with plenty of seating and buggy access is fine, but big matches pack it out shoulder to shoulder, so a weekday lunch or an early afternoon is the calmer bet. There's a kids' menu and high chairs, and the food has picked up lately — the avocado burger and the chicken burger both come in for praise, at prices people think are fair. Pool tables give older children something to do. Staff stay friendly and quick even when it's heaving, which matters when someone small has run out of patience. Bottomless brunch runs here too, if that's ever your kind of afternoon.

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.
