The Botanist Newcastle
Beautiful, buzzy room with high chairs, a kids' menu and easy pram access — hot, generous food, though service and phone ordering can be fiddly.

Restaurant · Newcastle upon Tyne
A city-centre spot that works better for a relaxed family lunch than a big weekend night out — the room is comfortable and roomy enough for a pram, with high chairs, a kids' menu and outdoor seating if you'd rather be out of the noise. The small plates ordered from the table are a good bet with children, arriving quickly and in generous portions, and the Korean chicken burger gets singled out. Staff are generally quick, warm and attentive, and food often comes out fast — genuinely useful when someone's patience is running out. Worth knowing: it's built around bottomless brunch, so weekends get loud and boozy and service can stretch thin when big groups are in. Go earlier in the day, or midweek, and it's a much calmer proposition.

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.
