Family-Friendly Places to Eat and Drink

The Great West Way incorporates lots of amazing family days out along its route, teamed with plenty of places to eat and drink with children of all ages. Take the kids for a trip on a narrowboat, and stop at a friendly canal-side café for a bite to eat. Spend the day exploring a castle, meeting animals at the zoo, or watching children’s theatre – then relax in the sunshine in an unpretentious pub garden. Enjoy a lovely family meal at a welcoming restaurant after a tiring day of adventurous activities like cycling, learning to surf or rock climbing.

There are welcoming family-friendly cafes at many of the attractions along the Great West Way - perfect for picking up lunch during a family day out. Aerospace Bristol Café, Westonbirt Restaurant and the Pump Room at the Roman Baths will all happily welcome children. At Bowood House and Gardens, the Stables Restaurant And Treehouse Cafe are two great options for the whole family, not to mention the ever-popular Ice Cream Kiosk in the middle of the adventure playground!

From toddlers to teenagers, keep the whole family happy at the many family-friendly restaurants, pubs, hotels and cafes along the Great West Way. You can expect sunny, welcoming service and tasty food to suit fussy eaters (both adults and children!) There are even lots of dog-friendly places to eat and drink along the Way to keep the whole family happy. For a fun family day out, head to Longleat Food and Music Festival in the summer, or stop off at welcoming Cobbs Farm Shop & Kitchen, Hungerford for a bite to eat as you travel the route. At Cobbs you can sit on the garden terrace to enjoy a meal and a drink, with a clear view over the children’s play area - so the whole family will be happy!
