Started by a parent
Built after too many hopeful pub searches.
Pubs With Playgrounds was started by Alastair Duncan, a dad of two. It is a free UK pub finder for parents who want to know whether “family friendly” includes somewhere children can actually play.
Listings combine pub websites, Google place information, parent reports, photos and direct corrections from pubs where available.
