Moms Eat Local: The Pub of Penn Valley

Moms know how tough it can be to eat out with little ones. Patch wants to help you know before you walk in the door if The Pub of Penn Valley is a good place to eat with your children.

Restaurant:

Is there a kids’ menu? Yes, it includes grilled cheese, burgers, chicken fingers, cheese ravioli, linguini or bow-tie pasta with butter or marinara, celery and carrot sticks with ranch dressing. The Kids' Menu also has a word search and areas for coloring.

Are there healthy options on the kids’ meal? The celery and carrot sticks are quite healthy as is the pasta with marinara.

How does the restaurant deal with food allergies? Alert your server and they will be as accommodating as they can be.

Is the restaurant so quiet that any childish outburst will draw attention or is there enough noise that a small cry is likely to go unnoticed? It depends on how filled the dining area is. When we went in for lunch there was plenty of chatter so that a small cry would go unnoticed.
