Pub · Cardiff
A big, open room off the city centre that swallows a pram and a pushchair-load of coats without anyone tutting — genuinely spacious, with sightlines to the screens rather than a squeeze between tables. It comes into its own on match days, when the pre-rugby atmosphere is electric and the security on the door keeps things feeling calm and organised even with a lively sports crowd in. Staff get consistent praise for being friendly and quick, checking back often, and food arrives fast and well priced, which matters when someone small has hit the wall. There's a kids' menu, high chairs and outdoor seating. Worth knowing: it's loud and packed around fixtures and big bottomless brunch sittings, table-app orders occasionally go astray, so book ahead and expect noise.
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.
