What it’s like
A pub with proper food, a Monday pub quiz and sport on the telly, open midday to midnight every day.
This one's more pub than play café, and it's honest about that. There's a kids' menu on the pub food side, alongside vegan, vegetarian and gluten-free options, so it works if you've got a mixed bunch of appetites at the table and one of them is five. The site lists it as allergy aware too, which is worth something if you're the parent who reads every label before ordering.
The pull for grown-ups is the Monday pub quiz and live sport on the screens, and honestly that's probably not the bit your kids will remember unless they're into either. There's outdoor play listed as well, which gives you somewhere to send them while you finish your pint or wait on food. Being open from noon right until midnight means you're not watching the clock the way you would at a soft play with a two-hour slot.
Wheelchair access is listed, and there's wifi and parking too, both handy if you're stopping for a while rather than just popping in. There's no booking link given, so this reads as a walk-in sort of place rather than one where you ring ahead for a table.
Because it's open so late, it's as much an evening option as a daytime one, which is unusual if you're used to venues that shut at five. Monday's clearly the night to go if the quiz appeals, but any day works if you're after food and a bit of outdoor space for the kids to potter about in.
