Pub · Bristol
A cheap and cheerful Bristol carvery with a Wacky Warehouse attached, so the children can run themselves ragged in the soft play while you finish a roast. The carvery is where the value sits — flavoursome beef, meat cooked properly, and a whole family fed and watered for very little. Pram access and high chairs are sorted, there's outdoor seating, and the soft play team are notably patient and unflustered even when it's heaving. Birthday parties get organised properly from start to finish. Be warned: the kids' menu food arrives suspiciously fast and tastes microwaved, so steer little ones to the carvery instead, and bar service can drag at busy times. Allergies have been mishandled here, so flag them clearly and check at the carvery counter. One parent calls the soft play "my fav softplay to visit".
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.
