Our non-negotiables for a great family-friendly pub

Every family looks different, which is why we think it’s important that everyone’s boxes are ticked when it comes to a family-friendly pub. No matter if it’s dad and baby, a day out with the grandparents or the whole clan, we’ve got something to make everyone smile. But, at Hungry Horse, there are three things we think a family-friendly pub needs:

1. Good food

2. Free Wi-Fi

3. Space for everyone

And, funnily enough, Hungry Horse pubs have all that, and more! A delicious menu, free Wi-Fi and space for big families, pushchairs and oodles of fun are all right here for your next trip to see us. If you’re ready to get them hooked up to the internet to keep the ‘How long ‘til dinner?’ questions at bay, we’ve got it covered. If you’re bringing the double pushchair and need room to rock them to sleep, we’ve got it covered. And if you’re feeling a bit peckish, we’ve got that covered too. You can thank us later.

But, our secret fourth non-negotiable is deals! And we wouldn’t be Hungry Horse without making sure a trip to ours is full of great value. With daily deals from Monday to Sunday, you can pop in and see us any day of the week to make heartfelt memories without denting your wallet. Our top tip? Bring the kids round on Monday, where kids eat for just £1 all day long!

Why Hungry Horse pubs are the best family-friendly pubs

We said it! In our unabashed, unbiased (wink wink) opinion, Hungry Horse pubs are the best family-friendly pubs in the UK. Whether it’s a mid-week treat to celebrate a glowing parents’ evening, a trip to the pub on Saturday afternoon to meet the in-laws or an excuse not to cook because you just don’t want to, we’re here for every laugh, every cry and everything in-between.

Family fun time

When they’re growing up in the blink of an eye, we know just how important spending quality time is. From your first trip out with your teeny-tiny newborn (when you definitely packed too many nappies), to celebrating their first steps, to the first time they ordered their own meal and all the way to their last day of primary school, those first few years fly by all too quickly.

That’s why we make sure that at Hungry Horse, you’ll always be able to make the most of every special moment. Throughout our pubs, you’ll find zones that work for you; from booths with screens built in to quieter areas away from the TVs. No matter if you like a peaceful table tucked away in the corner, or you need to sit nearer the toilets for easy access, you’ll find a space that suits your needs in our family-friendly pubs.

Picky-eater pleasers

Sometimes, the only thing that your little one wants to eat is chicken nuggets. And you know what? We get it. Sometimes we feel that way, too. At Hungry Horse, our family-friendly pub menu is full of delicious treats to help get you through the picky eater stage. On our kids’ menu, we’ve got crunchy garlic bread and juicy corn on the cob to start, yummy bolognaise packed with veggies and DIY tacos for the main event and even a little-belly-friendly version of our infamous Candymania for dessert. And that’s only the beginning! Take a look at our kids’ menu – we promise you’ll find a tasty treat for your mini-me.

If your kids are still a little too small to tackle a burger, our Heinz™ baby food is best enjoyed in a highchair. But if they just can’t stop eyeing up their older siblings' meals, our kids’ meal deal is the ticket you need. Get one main and two veggies, or swap a veggie for a side, and let them tuck in without putting a hole in your pocket. With pork and Quorn™ sausages, omega-3 filled fish fingers, a 2oz* beef burger and more, little ones always get to eat good at Hungry Horse!

Plus, the salt, sugar and calorie content of each dish is clearly stated on our menu, meaning you can make the right choices for your little ones with all the information you need.

Outdoor play for everyone

Come rain or shine, you know the little ones want to play outside. Some of our pubs have brilliant outdoor play areas, and trust us, when kids see our outdoor play areas? There’s no chance they’ll want to sit inside. Whether they’re wrapped up warm in the height of winter or running around in the summer sun, you can rest assured that their plates will be cleared when your food arrives.

Plus, our beer gardens make family time at the pub that little bit easier. Sit in the sun, or the rain, with a drink in hand and food at the table. Food, drinks and free outdoor play? What more could you need from a family-friendly pub! Whether you’re solo-parenting or meeting up with friends, our outdoor areas are made with families in mind.

Our wonderful Wacky Warehouse

When the weather makes outdoor play a little bit too difficult, our Wacky Warehouse play areas are here to help. Available at selected Hungry Horse pubs, Wacky Warehouse means that everyone stays warm and dry, with just as much fun! From our slippery slides to ball pits and craft corners, there’s endless fun waiting to be had in every corner. Kids can climb, swing, bounce and hurtle around our vibrant, age-appropriate indoor play areas.

Plus, while they’re having the time of their lives, you can tuck into our incredible pub menu! Grab a slice of our fan-favourite Chocolate Fudge Cake, sip on a mug of creamy hot chocolate or treat yourself to our daily deals! Go on, we think you’ve earned it.

And, during term time, Tots Club runs from 9am until 3pm on weekdays so that under-5s can get their fill of excitement without the bigger kids around. It’s a safe environment that’s designed with your little one's best interests in mind. And, while they’re whizzing around, running off all that energy, you can sit back, relax and take a well-deserved rest. We’ll sort the entertainment today.
