The butterfly and the pig

What it’s like

A quiz and jazz pub with a Murder Mystery Dining night upstairs, plus tea rooms for a daytime sit-down.

This one's less about a kids' activity and more about a night out that happens to have a table free for the family, or a daytime cuppa if you're passing with the pram. The pub side runs pub quizzes and jazz sessions, the kind of live entertainment that livens up a Tuesday evening rather than a Saturday matinee. There's also a Murder Mystery Dining Experience, which sounds like the sort of thing an older kid who fancies themselves a detective would get a kick out of, though it reads more like an adults' evening booking than a family slot.

The Tea Rooms run daytime hours, from 9am on weekdays and a bit later on Sunday, and that's your best bet if you want food without the later pub atmosphere. The main bar keeps proper pub hours, opening at 5pm on Monday and Tuesday but from midday the rest of the week, stretching to midnight on Friday and Saturday.

There's no booking link listed, so if you want a table for the quiz night or the murder mystery dinner, you'd want to ring ahead rather than just turn up and hope. It's a place that reads as more suited to an evening with older kids in tow than a toddler outing, given the whole setup leans towards live entertainment and dining rather than anything hands-on for little ones.
