Joe Maguires

If you’re a Tamworth local with young kids, you already know the drill — finding a pub where you can actually relax while the little ones burn off energy is half the battle. Joe Maguires sorts that out pretty well, with a fenced playground that keeps toddlers contained while you keep an eye on them without hovering. The slides are a hit with the younger crowd, and the enclosed setup means you’re not constantly chasing someone toward the car park. Toilets and parking are both on-site, and the food is genuinely good — not just “good for a pub” good.
