Italian · Banbury
A weekday lunch with a toddler is straightforward here — high chairs and a kids' menu mean you're not scrambling for a workaround, and step-free access means the buggy comes in without a fight at the door. It's a lively room rather than a hushed one, which is good news if your two are the chatty sort. Vegan and gluten-free options cover the fussier end of the table, and there's outdoor seating when the weather plays along. Worth booking ahead, especially at busier times.
A little something creative for your next meal out. Filled with colouring, simple drawing prompts for cute animals, origami and conversation starters designed to bring more play, laughter and connection to the table. 3 free printable packs for toddlers, preschoolers and primary-aged children.
