Indian · Sunderland
Expect a bit of buzz and chatter here, which is genuinely good news with young children — nobody's going to notice a toddler having a moment over a plate of rice. There's a proper kids' menu and high chairs, so you can arrive without ringing ahead to check what your little one will actually eat, and step-free access means the buggy comes in with you rather than being folded up at the door. Gluten-free options are available too, which helps if someone in the family needs them. Worth booking a table before you set off.
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.
