Pret A Manger
Counter-serve Manchester cafe with quick sandwiches, soups and coffee, plus high chairs for little ones.

Mexican · Manchester
A counter-service burrito spot inside the Arndale, so it works when you need feeding done fast and without ceremony — orders are built in front of you and handed over almost instantly, which matters when a toddler has hit the wall. You choose everything: meat, rice, sauces, so a plain-cheese-and-rice burrito for a fussy eater is no trouble, and there's a kids' menu, high chairs and vegan options alongside. Buggy access is fine, though it sits in a busy shopping centre food area, so expect noise and a scramble for seats at weekend lunchtime. The staff are generally patient and happy to talk you through the fillings; families mention "super fresh" ingredients and burritos "wrapped to perfection". Service can be hit-and-miss depending who's on, and it's worth glancing at your order before you walk off with it.

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.
