Family Friendly

For many of us, that perfect holiday moment comes when we sit down with an ice-cool pint or glass of Prosecco. Or maybe it’s tucking into some delicious pub grub. From sampling real ale in traditional Devon inns, to the glitz and glamour of exclusive cocktail bars, you’ll find it all in Torbay. And if you’re here with the kids, you’ll find plenty of these establishments welcome children too.

Running around the gardens

No child really likes to sit still for very long. But as adults, that’s what we crave to do. The solution? Look for family-friendly pubs with plenty of safe green space for your little ones to explore while you sit back and relax. The pretty, thatched Drum Inn in Cockington is a charming pub. Designed by Edwin Lutyens, it’s steeped in history and comes with the added bonus of extensive gardens for the children to play in. They serve up a hearty, seasonal menu including a Saturday Steak Supper and traditional Sunday Lunch. Kids get their own menu, offering great value mains and puddings including Sunday Roasts.

Family-friendly pubs with a view

If you’re looking for a family-friendly pub with a view, you can’t choose much better than The Buccaneer Inn, Babbacombe. Located on Babbacombe Downs, on a clear day you can look out and see as far as Portland Bill. Closer to shore you may even be lucky enough to spot a passing pod of dolphins.

The Downs are also the perfect spot to run and play, with smooth green grass for races, which should help the younger members of the family work up an appetite. Let your little pirates explore the Downs until it’s time to eat. They’ll be lining up to sample the Buccaneer Inn’s piratical children’s menu, which includes favourites like chicken dippers and a mini version of the handmade Buc-burger.

Also offering a warm welcome on Babbacombe Downs is The Babbacombe Inn. Serving up a range of local ales and wines you can choose from classic pub favourites like Steak and Ale Pie or treat yourself to a Sunday Roast. The kids get their own great value menu to choose from, ensuring happy faces and wallets all round.
