Tapas · Nottingham
Nottingham's tapas spot manages the trick of feeling smart without being stiff, which is why it works with children in tow. Buggy access and high chairs are sorted, there's outdoor seating for when someone needs air, and a kids' menu alongside proper vegan options. The staff are friendly and don't rush you — one family described service as unhurried enough to make lunch a treat rather than a race. Everything's cooked fresh to order, so expect a short wait, but portions are genuinely generous for the price. The sweet and sticky PX beef gets raved about, crisp outside and tender within, and the teriyaki pork belly and lamb flatbread land well too. The Sunday menu del día is good value for sharing. Worth booking — it's popular, and it hosts private events upstairs, so weekends fill.
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.
