Rock Salt
A relaxed Bristol bar with high chairs, outdoor seating and vegan options — easy for families to settle in.

Indian · Bristol
Bristol parents planning a curry night have a solid bet here — a kids' menu, high chairs, halal and vegan options, and staff who wipe down the table between courses without being asked. Portions are big, which matters when you're splitting a main between two children, and the food arrives properly hot. The lamb shank is the one people talk about most: fall-off-the-bone tender in a spicy North Indian sauce. Samosa chaat comes generous and warm, the naan hot and crisp, and the pilau is fragrant enough that fussier eaters usually manage some. Worth knowing before you go: there's a 10% service charge, it fills up so book ahead, and starters can lag when takeaway orders are stacking up — order poppadoms to keep small people occupied. You can bring your own alcohol for a small fee.

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.
