Bistro · Alnwick
A good fit for a mixed-age group who can manage a calmer meal — the noise level here is quiet, so it suits children old enough to sit and chat more than a restless toddler. That said, high chairs and a kids' menu mean a little one is properly catered for if you're bringing the whole family. Gluten-free options are available, which helps if someone in the group needs them. Free parking takes the sting out of arriving with a buggy and bags, and it's worth booking ahead.
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.
