Pub · Brighton
Right in the thick of the North Laine, this is a stripped-back, contemporary pub with cosy corners, warm lighting and comfortable seats — good for a mid-shop refuel with kids in tow. Food arrives quick and hot, which matters when someone's patience has run out, and the children's roast portion at £8.95 is genuinely good value. Grown-ups rate the loaded chips (bacon and cheddar, crisp bits all the way through), the burgers and the bangers and mash; classic pub grub is the safer bet than the Sunday roast, which can be hit and miss. There are high chairs, a kids' menu and a small outdoor area out the back. Worth knowing: it gets cramped and the music turns up loud on Friday and Saturday nights, and the beer isn't cheap. Weekday lunchtimes are calmer and staff are friendly and attentive.
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.
