Mediterranean · Gravesend
Space is the real luxury here — several rooms spread across the place, so a pram parks without blocking anyone, and there's an outdoor area plus a big free car park. Families tend to get settled fast: water and warm little rolls with a dip land on the table before anyone gets restless, and the team keeps an unhurried pace, with one group arriving near closing saying nothing was too much trouble. The menu runs long, with vegetarian and vegan options, a kids' menu and high chairs, and the Sunday roast offers a few meats with portions generous enough that pudding rarely happens. Mocktails are a hit, the lighting and decor make it feel like an occasion, and the toilets are spotless. One snag: the special-occasion set menus cost a lot for what turns up — stick to the regular menu.
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.
A busy, brilliant little brunch spot with generous plates, kids' menu and free parking — small inside, so book ahead.
