Restaurant · Bournemouth
Weeknight dinners here tend to run smoothly — tables come quickly, high chairs are on hand, and there's room to get a buggy in without a fuss. The garlic bread with cheese and caramelised onions gets rave mentions, as does the bruschetta, the burrata and a lasagne with a genuinely decent portion. Pizzas are the safe bet with children, and there are vegan options and a kids' menu if you need them. Staff are generally patient and good with little ones; one parent noted the team were "brilliant with my 4 year old", and birthday surprises appear now and then. Worth knowing: service can drag when it's busy or you're a big group — drinks and food have been slow to arrive — so go early with hungry children, and check your bill before you pay.
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.
