What's listed
The details that make or break a family lunch.
“Family friendly” can mean anything. Pubs With Playgrounds tells you exactly what's there — from the climbing frame in the garden to whether you'll get the pram through the door.
Each listing is checked against real evidence — the pub's own website, photos and parent reviews — so a playground in the app means a playground at the pub.
