A canalside pub at Birdingbury Wharf near Rugby, serving a Sunday carvery and a broad pub menu, with canal boat trips available right outside. Why it's kid-friendly: there's a play area for children in the grounds, plenty of outdoor seating overlooking the canal where you can watch ducklings and swans, and the menu includes vegetarian options like a wellington and a halloumi burger. Well-behaved dogs are welcome too.
