British · Eastbourne
Somewhere between a smart brunch spot and a proper family restaurant, this one manages to look pricier than it actually is — all the boujee polish, but a kids' menu with colouring crayons on the table and, during some school holidays, a £1 kids' offer. Buggy access is fine once you're in, though there's a small step and heavy curtains at the door to negotiate. High chairs, clean toilets and free parking help. The pancakes are the draw, with all-you-can-eat on Fridays; the burgers, chicken wings and veggie mezze also get plenty of love, and chips arrive in a paper-lined tin so they stay hot. Two honest snags: food can come out staggered, and a tip is added automatically, so you'll have to ask if you'd rather it wasn't. Book at weekends — it gets busy.
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.
