Indian · Sunderland
Sunderland has plenty of options for an evening out, and this Indian restaurant is set up for families in a way that takes the stress out of it. High chairs and a kids' menu mean you can walk in with a toddler and not have to improvise, and step-free access makes getting a buggy through the door straightforward. Vegan and gluten-free dishes are on the menu, which helps if someone in your group eats differently. It's a quiet spot rather than a noisy one, and booking ahead is worth doing.

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.
