Dad-of-two Alistair Duncan found a solution by creating an app that helps families locate pubs with playgrounds, making outings easier and more enjoyable. Alistair, a TV producer from London, initially started by compiling suggestions from friends on a Google map featuring pubs and hotels with playgrounds. After his appendix burst, leaving him stuck at home, he used the downtime to develop the Pubs with Playgrounds app.
