Indian · Middlesbrough
A big Indian restaurant in Middlesbrough with a genuinely lively hum, which is good news if your toddler is having a loud day — nobody will notice. There's a kids' menu and high chairs, so you can feed a small child without negotiating a shared plate, and step-free access means the buggy comes in with you rather than being folded at the door. Vegan and gluten-free options are marked, which helps if someone in the family eats differently. Worth booking ahead, and at ££ it's a reasonable night out for the whole lot of you.

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.
