The Seagate

We have often been to this lovely pub for drinks and food and have always enjoyed, but tonight we had service above and beyond. A lovely chap who works at the front of house quickly found us a table (as we had a toddler in a buggy and there weren’t many left). He then brought us menus and asked if we would like a high chair. He made an extra effort to make sure we were comfortable. We had only planned to have a drink and check out the menu, but with the excellent service couldn’t say no. We ordered our food as were so impressed with the menu and service. He kindly brought over some pencils, a colouring book and plastic spades for our little girl to play with, and made the effort to ask if there was anything else which we needed. The bar staff were very friendly and welcoming too. Our little girl had the pitta pizza from the children menu which (unlike most places) was edible upon arrival, rather than being piping hot which usually causes tantrums while it cools, but she was able to tuck in straight away! Our linguini and nachos were delicious too. We never felt rushed to leave the table, which is so nice when you have a toddler who eats at the pace of a snail! The whole experience was lovely, and I would highly recommend this pub to families. Making people with children feel welcome is so easy, yet so little establishments make the effort. We really appreciate how much was done to ensure that we had a lovely dinner - thank you!
